STOCKHOLM - 9 December 2024 - Reference is made to the stock exchange
announcement made by Inify Laboratories AB (the "Company") on 15 November 2024,
regarding a proposed fully guaranteed share issue generating gross proceeds of
approximately SEK 150 million, and the extraordinary general meeting held 6
December 2024 which resolved to authorize the board of directors of the Company
to resolve on the issuance of new shares.
The board of directors has today resolved to launch the fully guaranteed private
placement of 30,000,000 new shares (the "Private Placement Shares") with gross
proceeds of the NOK equivalent of approximately SEK 135 million with a minimum
subscription per subscriber of the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000 (the "Private
Placement"), directed pro-rata towards existing shareholders holding more than
400,000 shares in the Company (other than Avanza Bank AB) (the "Eligible
Shareholders"). The Private Placement will, subject to completion of the Private
Placement, and certain other conditions, be followed by a fully guaranteed
repair issue of the NOK equivalent of approximately SEK 15 million (the
"Subsequent Offering"), directed pro-rata towards all existing shareholders
other than the Eligible Shareholders, as further described below.
Only shareholders in the Company will be able to participate, on a pro-rata
basis, in the Private Placement and the Subsequent Offering, as applicable.
Shareholders will be able to maintain their pro-rata shareholding in the Company
after the Private Placement and the Subsequent Offering, as long as such
shareholders submit an application corresponding to their pro-rata shareholding
in the Company.
The net proceeds from the Private Placement and the Subsequent Offering will be
used to fund the Company's expansion into the United Kingdom and for general
corporate purposes.
The subscription price per share in the Private Placement and the Subsequent
Offering will be NOK 4.50.
Application period for Private Placement
The application period for the Private Placement commences today, 9 December
2024, and ends on 13 December at 16:30 hours CET (the "Private Placement
Application Period"). The Company may extend or shorten the Privat Placement
Application Period at any time and for any reason on short, or without, notice.
If the Private Placement Application Period is extended or shortened, the other
dates referred to herein might be changed accordingly.
Record date and application period for Subsequent Offering
The Subsequent Offering will, subject to applicable securities law, be directed
towards all existing shareholders in the Company other than the Eligible
Shareholders as of 13 December 2024 (as registered in Euronext Securities Oslo
(the "VPS") or Euroclear, as applicable, on 17 December 2024 (the "Record

unlawful or would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any prospectus,
filing, registration or similar action.
The Company will publish a national (Norwegian) prospectus in the beginning of
January 2025 and thereafter commence the two-week application period for the
Subsequent Offering (the "Subsequent Offering Application Period"). Shareholders
with shares registered with the VPS as of the Record Date will receive non
-transferable subscription rights at the start of the Subsequent Offering
Application Period. Shareholders with shares registered directly with Euroclear

participate in Subsequent Offering: 13 December

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.
