Motive and use of funds

Introducing new patient-friendly diagnostics in healthcare requires long-term and comprehensive sales and marketing efforts. Knowing this, the assessment is made that a cooperation agreement with a larger party can add great value that Calmark otherwise would not have had the capacity to achieve. In order to finance the transition towards a sales focus, Calmark is carrying out the Rights Issue, which, if fully subscribed, will initially provide the Company with approximately SEK 14.3 million before transaction costs. In the case of full subscription of the Rights Issue and full use of the TO 4 B issued though the Rights Issue at the highest exercise price, the Company will receive an additional maximum of approximately SEK 7.1 million before transaction related costs. The transaction related costs for the Rights Issue are estimated to amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 2.4 million (of which approximately SEK 0.73 million refers to guarantee compensation, provided that all guarantors desire cash compensation). The issue proceeds must also be used for repayment of bridge loan.

It is the Board's assessment that the net proceeds from securing the Rights Issue are sufficient to finance the Company's current operations and plans through the second quarter of 2024. The proceeds the Company can obtain through the use of warrants of series TO 4 B enables further activities but is not a prerequisite to achieve the objectives below.
