Insplorion resolves on a rights issue of units of approximately SEK 19.6 million, subject to subsequent approval by the general meeting

Summary

• The Board of Directors of the Company has today resolved on the Rights Issue, conditional upon the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 18 October 2023 approving the Board's decision to carry out the Rights Issue. Notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting will be published through a separate press release.
• The subscription price per unit and thus per share amounts to SEK 1.50.
• All existing shareholders will receive one (1) unit right per each one (1) share held on the record date of 23 October 2023. One (1) unit right gives the right to subscribe for one (1) unit. One (1) unit consists of one (1) newly issued share and one (1) newly issued warrant of series TO2. The warrants are issued free of charge.
• The subscription period in the Rights Issue will run from 26 October 2023 up to and including 9 November 2023.

• The exercise period for subscription of shares with the support of the warrants will run from 11 March 2024 up to and including 25 March 2024. Two (2) warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share. If all warrants of series TO2 are exercised for subscription of shares, the Company will receive an additional amount of up to SEK 39.3 million depending on the final exercise price. The subscription price for the warrant of series TO2 will be set at 70 per cent of the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") 10 trading days before the exercise period for the warrants, but not less than the share's quota value of approximately SEK 0.15 and not more than SEK 6.00.
• Complete terms and conditions for the Rights Issue and other information about the Company will be set out in the prospectus, which is expected to be published on or around 25 October 2023.

Motive and uses of proceeds

Insplorion is an environmental technology company, which with its NanoPlasmonic Sensing (NPS) platform develops sensors focusing on hydrogen detection. The Company believes that its technology has competitive advantages such as speed against other technologies, while it is a very fast-developing market with great potential. For hydrogen to become an integral part of an energy system, hydrogen sensors are needed throughout the value chain for safety and cost efficiency. The Company is experiencing a strong interest in the Company's hydrogen sensor from the market. Insplorion also develops, manufactures, and sells research instruments based on the NPS technology.

The hydrogen sensor can become a crucial component in the rapidly growing market for hydrogen-based energy systems. In order to give the Company, the best conditions to realize the Company's growth potential and to achieve a successful commercialization of the Company's hydrogen sensors, the Board of Directors has resolved to carry out a Rights Issue of a maximum of approximately SEK 19.6 million. The capital from the Rights Issue will strengthen the financial position and provide conditions to accelerate the Company's development in hydrogen.

"We see increasing interest in our hydrogen sensor across a wider range of application areas, driven by a growing hydrogen economy. Through our current customer projects and dialogues, we see that Insplorion's sensor technology will potentially play a significant role in our customers' specific hydrogen projects.

We hope that all shareholders will participate in the rights issue", says Insplorion's CEO, Johan Rask.

Rights issue

The Board of Directors of Insplorion has, subject to the subsequent approval of the general meeting, resolved to carry out a unit issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders of a maximum of 13,090,234 newly issued shares and a maximum of 13,090,234 warrants. Two (2) warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, Insplorion will receive proceeds of approximately SEK 19.6 million, before issue costs.

Those who are registered as shareholders on the record date of 23 October 2023 have preferential rights to subscribe for units in relation to their existing shareholdings, whereby each existing share entitles to one (1) unit right. One (1) unit right entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) unit. One (1) unit consists of one (1) share and one (1) warrant. The subscription price is SEK 1.50 per unit, corresponding to SEK 1.50 per share (the warrants are issued free of charge). The last day of trading in the Company's shares including the right to receive unit rights is 19 October 2023. The first day of trading excluding the right to receive unit rights is 20 October 2023. The subscription period in the Rights Issue runs from 26 October 2023 up to and including 9 November 2023. Trading in unit rights is expected to take place during the period 26 October 2023 up to and including 6 November 2023 on Nasdaq First North Growth Market.

The dilution effect for shareholders who choose not to participate in the Rights Issue amounts to 50 per cent of the capital and votes (calculated as the number of new shares as a result of the Rights Issue divided by the total number of shares in the Company after a fully subscribed Rights Issue). Through the Rights Issue, the share capital may increase by a maximum of approximately SEK 1,963,536 from approximately SEK 1,963,536 to approximately SEK 3,927,072 and the number of shares may increase by a maximum of 13,090,234 shares from 13,090,234 shares to 26,180,468 shares. Upon full exercise of the warrants, the share capital will increase by an additional approximately SEK 981,768 and the number of shares will increase by 6,545,117 shares. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue and full exercise of the warrants, the share capital will amount to approximately SEK 4,908,840 and the number of shares will amount to 32,725,585 shares. In case of a fully subscribed Rights Issue and full exercise of the attached warrants, a total dilution of 60 per cent of the capital and votes will occur.

In the event that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Company will receive proceeds of a maximum of SEK 19.6 million, before issue costs. If all Warrants are exercised to subscribe for new shares, the Company will receive a maximum of an additional SEK 39.3 million, before issue costs.

Terms for the warrants of series TO2

The exercise period for subscription of shares based on the warrants will run from 11 March 2024 up to and including 25 March 2024. Two (2) warrants of series TO2 entitle to subscription of one (1) new share. The subscription price for the warrant of series TO2 will be set at 70 per cent of the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") 10 trading days before the exercise period for the warrants, however, not less than the share's quota value of approximately SEK 0.15 and not more than SEK 6.00. The warrants are intended to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market after final registration of the Rights Issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
