TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

The term "subscription" below means an offer or commitment provided by an investor to subscribe for Offer Shares in the Initial Public Offering, whether the investor has offered or committed to purchase existing shares or to subscribe for new shares. Either new issued shares or shares to be sold can be allocated to the investors. Correspondingly, "subscriber", "subscription period", "subscription place", "subscription price", "subscription commitment" (and other corresponding terms) refer to both share issue and share sale.

General terms and conditions of the Initial Public Offering

General description

A total of 2,062,623 shares in Efecte Plc (the Company or Efecte) will be offered in the Share Issue and Share Sale (as defined below). The company will offer a maximum total of 1,035,000 new shares (New Shares) in the Company for subscription (Share Issue). In addition, the current shareholders of the Company (Sellers) listed in Appendix C of the Finnish language prospectus (Prospectus) offer a maximum of 1,027,623 existing shares in the Company (Sale Shares, and together with the New Shares the Offer Shares) for purchase (Share Sale, and together with the Share Issue the IPO).

The IPO consists of (i) a public offering to private individuals and corporations in Finland (Public Offering), (ii) a personnel offering to the employees of the Company and its fully owned subsidiaries and to the members of the board (Personnel Offering) and (iii) an institutional offering to institutional investors in Finland and abroad if the requirements of local regulations are met (Institutional Offering).

The Offer Shares correspond to approximately 45.9% of the issued and outstanding shares in the Company and the votes carried by them before the IPO, and approximately 37.3% after the IPO provided that all of the Offer Shares are subscribed for and sold in full.

Preliminarily, a maximum of 1,472,623 Offer Shares are being offered in the Institutional Offering and a maximum of 540,000 Offer Shares are being offered in the Public Offering. The number of Offer Shares offered in the Institutional Offering and Public Offering may be more or less than the numbers presented here. A maximum of 50,000 shares are being offered in the Personnel Offering. The terms and conditions of the Public Offering also apply to the Personnel Offering unless otherwise expressly stated.

The lead manager and place of subscription of the IPO is Evli Bank Plc (Lead Manager). Evli Bank Plc's address is Aleksanterinkatu 19 A, 00100 Helsinki, Finland.

In addition to the general terms and conditions of the IPO presented herein, the terms and conditions of the IPO consist of the special terms and conditions of the Public Offering, the special terms and conditions of the Personnel Offering and the special terms and conditions of the Institutional Offering, which are presented below.

The Offering

On 4 October 2017, the Company's extraordinary general meeting authorised the board of directors of the Company to decide on the issuance of a maximum of 1,800,000 new shares in the Company through one or more share issues. The authorisation includes the right to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right if the deviation is justified by a weighty financial reason for the Company. On 24 November 2017, the Company's board of directors decided on the basis of the authorisation by the shareholders to preliminarily issue a maximum of 1,035,000 New Shares by offering New Shares for subscription in the Institutional Offering, Public offering and Personnel Offering (Share Issue).

The New Shares will be offered in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right in order to enable the listing of the Company's shares on the multilateral trading facility First North Finland (First North) maintained by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (Helsinki Stock Exchange). The purpose of the IPO is, among other things, to create the preconditions for the company's listing on First North and enable the financing of the Company's international growth and expansion of operations in accordance with its strategy. Thus, it is considered that the Company has a weighty financial reason, as referred to in Chapter 9, section 4 of the Limited Liability Companies Act (624/2006, as amended, Companies Act), for deviating from the pre-emptive subscription right.

The payment made to the Company for the approved subscriptions of the New Shares will be entered in its entirety in the Company's reserve for invested unrestricted equity. Hence, the Company's share capital will not be increased in connection with the Share Issue. As a result of the Share Issue, the number of the Company's shares may increase to a maximum of 5,524,101 shares, provided that all of the New Shares offered in the IPO are subscribed for and issued.

The New Shares to be issued in the Share Issue represent approximately 23.1% of the issued and outstanding shares in the Company and the votes carried by them before the IPO, and approximately 18.7% after the IPO provided that all of the New Shares offered in the IPO are subscribed for and issued in full.

Share Sale

The Sellers are offering a maximum of 1,027,623 shares for sale (Sale Shares) in the Institutional Offering (Share Sale). The Sale Shares correspond to a maximum of approximately 22.9 % of the issued and outstanding shares in the Company and the votes carried by them before the IPO, and approximately 18.6 % after the IPO provided that all of the Offer Shares offered in the IPO are subscribed for and sold in full.

Placing Agreement

The Company, the Sellers and the Lead Manager are expected to sign a placing agreement on or about 11 December 2017 (Placing Agreement). For more information, see "Agreements Relating to the IPO, Plan of Distribution and the Arrangement of Admission to Trading".

Lock-up

The Company and the Lead Manager have agreed that the Company will not, save for certain exceptions, issue or otherwise transfer shares in the Company without the prior written consent of the Lead Manager during a period of 180 days following the listing. However, the Company's lock-up undertaking does not apply to the use of the Company's shares as consideration in mergers and acquisitions nor to Company shares to be given as part of the Company's current option schemes nor to any Company shares that may be given as part of a share-based incentive scheme that may be established by the Company.

The Sellers have undertaken to comply with a lock-up period during which the Sellers will not, save for certain exceptions, offer, sell, short sell, pledge or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares in the Company they own without the prior written consent of the Lead Manager during a period of 360 days following the listing.

The Sellers' total holdings of the Company's shares and votes carried by them is 27.8% before the IPO, and approximately 4.0% after the IPO provided that all of the Offer Shares are subscribed for and sold in full.

Investors must agree to be bound by the lock-up to participate in the Personnel Offering. Pursuant to the lock-up, investors participating in the Personnel offering will not sell or otherwise transfer Company shares they subscribed for in the Personnel Offering without the prior written consent of the Lead Manager during a period of 360 days following the listing. The lock-up periods relating to the Personnel Offering are binding regardless of whether the lock-up periods in question are entered in the shareholders' book-entry accounts.

Subscription commitments for Offer Shares received by the Company prior to the IPO

Certain Finnish investors have submitted subscription commitments related to the IPO (Cornerstone Investors). The Cornerstone Investors have each separately committed to subscribe for Offer Shares at the subscription price as follows: (i) Kari Stadigh in person or a party appointed by him MEUR 2.5, (ii) Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company MEUR 2.0, (iii) Aktia Asset Management Ltd MEUR 1.2, and (iv) Aurator Asset Management Ltd MEUR 0.5. Thus, the total subscription commitments of the Cornerstone Investors amount to MEUR 6.2. The subscription commitments of the Cornerstone Investors are conditional upon, among other things, (i) the first day of trading in the Company's shares being no later than 29 December 2017, (ii) the Company undertaking to allocate at least 80% of the given subscription commitment to each Cornerstone Investor, (iii) the Company acquiring at least EUR 5.0 million gross funds in the Share Issue. If the conditions for the subscription commitments are not met, the Cornerstone Investors will not be obligated to subscribe for Offer Shares.

The Cornerstone Investors will receive no compensation for their subscription commitments. The Cornerstone Investors' subscription commitments are not secured by a bank guarantee, escrow account, collateral or other corresponding arrangement. The total subscription commitments of the Cornerstone Investors amount to at least 43.7% and at most 54.7% of the total number of the Offer Shares provided that the IPO is realised in full.

The prevailing market conditions, the valuation coefficients of the companies operating in the field of business and the Company's expected results, among other things, have been taken into account when determining the Subscription Price. The Subscription Price corresponds to the understanding of the Company's board of directors concerning the value of the Offer Shares.

Supplementing the Prospectus and the right to cancel subscription commitments

A subscription commitment given in the IPO (Subscription Commitment) is binding and cannot be amended or cancelled, save for in the situations provided for in the Securities Markets Act (746/2012).

The Prospectus published by the Company in connection with the IPO must be supplemented in certain situations, such as due to errors or omissions in the Prospectus or due to material new information that may have material significance for investors. If the Prospectus is supplemented, investors who have undertaken to purchase or subscribe for Offer Shares before the publication of the correction or supplement must be given the opportunity to cancel their subscription within two (2) business days of the publication of the correction or supplement. In addition, the right of withdrawal requires that the fault, omission or material new information has been discovered before the Offer Shares have been delivered to the investors. The period of validity for an offer is deemed to end when the implementation and allocation of the IPO has been decided, i.e. on or about 11 December 2017.

In the event the Prospectus is supplemented, this will be announced in a company release as well as on the Internet at www.efecte.com/listautuminen. The company release in question will also announce the investors' right to cancel Subscription Commitments as well as provide more detailed instructions relating to cancellation. Any cancellation of a Subscription Commitment must concern the total number of shares covered by the commitments given by an individual investor in full. However, a Subscription Commitment cannot be cancelled via an Internet service, but must be carried out at the offices of the Lead Manager or by delivering a written notice of the cancellation of the Subscription Commitment by fax or e-mail, for which purpose investors must request more detailed instructions from Evli Bank Plc's place of subscription by phoning +358 9 4766 9646.

After the time limit set for cancellation has expired, the cancellation right is no longer valid. If a Subscription Commitment is cancelled, the amount paid in accordance with the Subscription Commitment will be refunded to the stated bank account within approximately five (5) banking days of the cancellation notice being delivered to the place of subscription or no later than two (2) banking days after that if the investor's bank account is in a different financial institution than the account onto which the subscriptions were paid. No interest will be paid on the refunded amount.

Right to Cancel the IPO

The Company's board of directors is entitled to cancel the IPO at any time prior to the completion of the IPO due to, among other things, market circumstances, the Company's financial condition, a material change in the Company's business, an unfavourable decision by the Helsinki Stock Exchange regarding the listing or other reason. If the board of directors decides to cancel the IPO, the paid Subscription Price will be refunded to the investor within approximately five (5) banking days of the board's decision or no later than two (2) banking days after that if the investor's bank account is in a different financial institution than the account onto which the subscriptions were paid. No interest will be paid on the refunded amount.

Conditionality of the IPO, decisions concerning the IPO and allocation principles

The Company's board of directors will decide on or about 11 December 2017 on the final number of Offer Shares, the allocation of the final number of Offer Shares between the Institutional, Public and Personnel Offerings as well as the approval in full or in part of the Subscription Commitments given in the IPO. The Company's board of directors will decide how to proceed in case of undersubscription or oversubscription and may also decide not to complete the IPO. The completion of the IPO is conditional upon the signing of the Placing Agreement.

The Company will publish the results of the IPO through a company release and on the Internet at www.efecte.com/listautuminen on or about 11 December 2017.

The Company's board of directors will decide on the allocation of Offer Shares to investors in the Institutional, Public and Personnel Offerings.

With respect to the Public Offering, the Company's board of directors will seek to approve Subscription Commitments in full for up to 100 Offer Shares and to distribute Offer Shares in excess of this number in proportion to the numbers covered by the unfulfilled Subscription Commitments.

Offer Shares can be transferred between the Institutional, Public and Personnel Offerings depending on, among other things, the distribution of the demand for Offer Shares between them. However, a maximum of 50,000 Offer Shares will be offered in the Personnel Offering. The minimum number of Offer Shares in the Public Offering will be 400,000 Offer Shares, or if fewer Subscription Commitments than this are made in the Public Offering, the total number of Subscription Commitments given in the Public Offering.

In the event the IPO is not fully subscribed for, but the IPO is completed nevertheless, the subscriptions will primarily be allocated to New Shares and only following that to Sale Shares, in which case the number of Sale Shares sold in the IPO will be reduced in proportion to the Sellers' holdings.

Refunding of paid amounts

If a Subscription Commitment is dismissed or only partially approved, the paid amount or part thereof will be refunded to the stated bank account within approximately five (5) banking days of the allocation of Offer Shares or no later than two (2) banking days after that if the investor's bank account is in a different financial institution than the account onto which the subscriptions were paid. No interest will be paid on the refunded amount.

Entry of Offer Shares into book-entry accounts

The parties who have submitted a subscription commitment must have a book-entry account with a Finnish account operator or an account operator operating in Finland, and the party must specify the details of its book-entry account in its Subscription Commitment. Offer Shares subscribed for and issued in the IPO and distributed in the Public and Personnel Offerings will be registered on the book-entry accounts of the investors who made approved Subscription Commitments on or about 12 December 2017. In the Institutional Offering, the Offer Shares will be ready to be delivered against payment on or about 15 December 2017 through Euroclear Finland Oy.

Title and shareholder rights

The New Shares carry the same rights as the other shares in the Company and they will entitle the right to dividends and other distributions of funds as well as other rights relating to the shares in the Company after the New Shares have been registered in the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (Trade Register) on or about 12 December 2017. Rights relating to the New Shares cannot be exercised before the New Shares have been entered onto the investor's book-entry account. The title to the Sale Shares will transfer when the Shares have been paid for and entered into the investor's book-entry account. Sale Shares carry the same rights as other shares in the Company and they will entitle the right to dividends and other distributions of funds in the Company after the transfer of title.

Trading in the Offer Shares

The Company plans to file an application with the Helsinki Stock Exchange for the admission to trading in the shares in the Company on the multilateral trading facility Nasdaq First North Finland maintained by the Helsinki Stock Exchange.

As at the commencement of trading on First North Finland, which is expected to occur on or about 13 December 2017, the Offer Shares issued or sold in the IPO may not have been transferred in their entirety to the investors' book-entry accounts. Investors considering selling shares in the Company or brokers receiving a commission from an investor to sell shares in the Company must ensure that the investor has been allocated the number of Company shares in question from time to time.

Transfer tax and other expenses

No transfer tax is payable on the subscription for New Shares. Account operators charge fees in accordance with their price lists for the operating of book-entry accounts and for safekeeping of shares.

The Sale Shares are sold on a multilateral trading facility in conjunction with the commencement of trading in the Company's shares on the Nasdaq First North market, and no transfer tax will be payable on these transactions. Should transfer tax be due, the Sellers would pay any transfer tax payable on sales of their Sale Shares in connection with the Share Sale.

Offering of the Offer Shares outside Finland

Participation in the IPO may, in certain jurisdictions, be restricted by law. No measures have been taken to register the Offer Shares or the IPO or to offer the Offer Shares to the public in any jurisdiction outside Finland. Offer Shares are not offered to investors whose participation in the IPO would require a separate prospectus or measures under laws other than those of Finland. The Prospectus has only been prepared in Finnish.
