The Public Offering has been structured in a manner which makes it exempt from the obligation to publish a prospectus approved by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (Dk. Finanstilsynet) or by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen). As the total consideration of the Public Offering will amount to less than EUR 2.5 million, the Public Offering will be below the threshold to publish a prospectus for offerings of securities to the public in Denmark and Sweden, as set out in the Prospectus Regulation and as implemented in Denmark by section 10 of the Danish Capital Markets Act and in Sweden by chapter 2 section 1 of the law (2019:414) complementing the EU prospectus regulation (Sw. lag med kompletterande bestämmelser till EU:s prospektförordning) and will thus be exempt from the obligation to publish a prospectus approved by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (Dk. Finanstilsynet) or by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen). Additionally, any offer of Offer Shares in Denmark and Sweden under the Private Placement will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus.

Finanstilsynet) or the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen), or by any other competent authority, as a competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation.
