The right to subscribe for the new shares and warrants in The First New Issue accrues to a limited number of investors consulted in advance.

The subscription price per unit is SEK 1.800000009, corresponding to a subscription price per share of SEK 0.600000003. The warrants are issued free of charge. The issue price has been determined according to the prevailing market conditions at the time of the issuance decision of the First New Issue. One (1) warrant of series 2022/2023 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company.

The subscription price per share shall be SEK 0.600000003. Through the First New Issue, Anoto will receive approximately SEK 1,000,000 before issue costs. The new issue means a direct dilution effect of approximately 0.7 percent of the share capital after dilution. If all warrants are exercised, the First New Issue entails an additional dilution effect of approx. 0.2 percent of the share capital after dilution. All subscribed units have been allocated.
