STOCKHOLM - November 15, 2024 - reference is made to the stock exchange
announcement made by Inify Laboratories AB ("Inify" or the "Company") on 23
October 2024 regarding expansion to the UK and a potential share issue of
approximately SEK 150 million.
The Company will in a separate press release call for an Extraordinary General
Meeting (the "EGM") to be held on 6 December 2024 at 10:00 CET to resolve to
authorize the board of directors to resolve on the issuance of new shares.
Provided that the EGM resolves to authorize the board of directors to resolve on
the issuance of new shares, the intention is to utilise the authorization to
resolve on (i) a fully guaranteed private placement of the NOK equivalent of
approximately SEK 135 million with a minimum subscription per subscriber of the
SEK equivalent of EUR 100,000 directed pro-rata towards existing shareholders
holding more than 400,000 shares in the Company (the "Private Placement"), and
(ii) a fully guaranteed repair issue of the NOK equivalent of approximately SEK
15 million (the "Repair Issue"), directed pro-rata towards existing shareholders
with less than 400,000 shares. The price per share in the Private Placement and
the Repair Issue will be NOK 4.50.
Monsun AS and Auris AS (the "Guarantors"), companies controlled by the same
owners as the two largest shareholders Gallivant S.à r.l. ("Gallivant") and
Tauri AS ("Tauri"), respectively, have entered into guarantee undertakings
covering in total 100% of the Private Placement and the Repair Issue (the
"Guarantee Commitment"). The Guarantors will not receive any compensation for
the Guarantee Commitment.
Any existing shareholder participating in the Private Placement and the Repair
Issue can expect to retain their pro-rata ownership, provided that they
subscribe for an amount sufficient to their pro-rata ownership in the Company.
The application period in the Private Placement is expected to commence shortly
after the EGM, if the EGM successfully resolves to authorize the board of
directors to resolve on the issuance of new shares.
Following the completion of the Private Placement, the Company will publish a
national (Norwegian) prospectus and commence the Repair Issue. The Repair Issue
will be directed towards existing shareholders with less than 400,000 shares
and. The national (Norwegian) prospectus is expected to be published in the
beginning of January 2025, with a two-week application period thereafter.
The combined proceeds from the Private Placement and the Repair Issue will be
the NOK equivalent of approximately SEK 150 million before transaction costs and
will be used to fund Inify's expansion into the UK and for general working
capital.
Additional information about the Private Placement and Repair Issue will be
published in due course.

Information to distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within:
(a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended
("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU)
2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together,
the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in the Company
have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such
shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible
counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution
through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target
Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors
should note that: the price of the shares in the Company may decline and
investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in The Company
offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the
shares in the Company is compatible only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction
with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be
able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment
is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory
selling restrictions in relation to the new share issue. Furthermore, it is
noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, SpareBank1 Markets
will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute:
(a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID
II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in,
or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in
the Company.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment
in respect of the shares in the Company and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
