The New Zealand’s Intellectual Property Office has notified Nicoccino AB with
the acceptance of the Company’s own nicotine patent application. The approval
was published on September 30thand a three months Opposition Period will follow
where interest party can file an opposition. If no opposition is filed, the
patent letter will be sealed and granted.

New Zealand is the second marked to approve the patent since Singapore’s
approval in March earlier this year.

As the nicotine patent is based on the plattform patent that Nicoccino AB uses
through licensing, the protection of the product is extended until 2033.

approve the nicotine patent application. This is a further step in enhancing the
patent protection and increases the confidence of our shareholders and
international stakeholders that we are in dialogue with.” says Anders Ulfhielm,
CEO at Nicoccino Holding AB.

The platform patent is so far approved in Sweden, US, China, Russia, Japan,
Austria, New Zeeland, South Africa, Israel, South Korea and Canada. Nicoccino
