As announced in connection with, and in the prospectus in respect of, the offering to acquire shares in the Company and the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Premier (the ”Offering”), Danske Bank has, acting as Global Coordinator and Bookrunner, had the possibility to carry out transactions aimed at supporting the market price of the shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market.

Stabilisation transactions have been possible to effect on Nasdaq First North Premier, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at any time during the period starting on the date of commencement of trading in the shares on Nasdaq First North Premier and ending 30 calendar days thereafter.

The Over-Allotment Option has been possible to exercise in full or in part for a period of 30 calendar days from the first day of trading in the shares on Nasdaq First North Premier. Danske Bank hereby proclaims that the Over-Allotment Option regarding 2,350,350 shares has not been exercised.
