Minesto AB (publ) (“Minesto” or the “Company”) announces the preliminary outcome for the Company’s rights issue of up to 13,394,391 units, consisting of three (3) shares and one (1) warrant of series TO4 in the Company each (the “Rights Issue”), for which the subscription period ended today, 2 April 2024. The preliminary outcome indicates that 6,527,171 units, corresponding to approximately 48.7 percent of the Rights Issue, have been subscribed for with the support of unit rights. Additionally, applications for subscription of 288,226 units without the support of unit rights, corresponding to approximately 2.2 percent of the Rights Issue, have been received. In aggregate, the subscriptions with the support of unit rights and the applications for subscription of units without the support of unit rights correspond to approximately 50.9 percent of the Rights Issue. Hence, guarantee commitments of preliminary 4,312,385 units, corresponding to approximately 32.2 percent of the Rights Issue, will be utilized. The Rights Issue will provide the Company with proceeds of approximately SEK 100.2 million before deduction of costs related to the Rights Issue. Upon full exercise of all the warrants of series TO4 the Company is expected to raise up to an additional approximately SEK 50.1 million before deduction of cost related to the exercise of the warrants.

On 26 February 2024, Minesto announced that the board of directors of the Company had resolved on the Rights Issue, conditional upon the approval of a general meeting. On 14 March 2024, Minesto announced that the extraordinary general meeting on the same date had resolved to approve the Rights Issue. The subscription price in the Rights Issue was SEK 9.0 per unit, corresponding to SEK 3.0 per share.

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 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 Rights Issue.

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.
