Finally, allotment of the remaining shares shall be made to the investors who have provided guarantees and in accordance with the conditions of their respective guarantee.

In the event that a person subscribes for shares that result in the person's total shareholding exceeds a limit that means that the person's acquisition will be subject to reporting under the Swedish Foreign Direct Investments Screening Act (2023:560), allotment shall initially only be made to a level where the person falls below the said limit, and allotment of the excess amount of the subscription shall be conditional on the person obtaining the necessary approvals under the Act (2023:560).

The new shares will entitle to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs following the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Upon full conversion of issued convertibles, the number of shares in the Company will increase by 356,907 shares and the share capital by SEK 7,923.3354, which means a dilution of approximately 0.85 percent.

The Transaction is conditional upon the approval of both the acquisition and the issue of convertibles by the Company's extra general meeting.

In light of the above, the board of directors considers that the Transaction is advantageous for the shareholders of the Company and proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the Transaction.

Further information on the Transaction is set out in press releases available on the Company's website, www.syntheticmr.com.

Item 8: Resolution regarding approval of the board's resolution on a directed issue of convertibles

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the extra general meeting resolves to approve the board's resolution on 28 November 2024 to raise a convertible loan in a nominal amount not exceeding SEK 4,282,884 through a directed issue of not more than 356,907 convertibles, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 7,923.3354 upon full conversion of the convertibles.

The convertibles are issued on the following terms and on the terms set forth in the complete proposal which will be available on the Company's website no later than two weeks prior to the general meeting.

The right to subscribe for the convertibles shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, vest in the shareholders of Combinostics Oy.

The nominal amount for each convertible shall be SEK 12. The loan carries no interest.

For convertibles with a nominal value of SEK 4,282,884, SEK 4,282,889 shall be paid. Payment for subscribed convertibles shall be made by set-off against the Company's debts to the subscribers. The set-off shall be considered effective upon subscription.

Subscription of convertibles shall be made by payment no later than on 2 January 2025. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period, which includes the time for payment.

Conversion of convertibles to shares shall automatically occur on the first bank day after the Company has released its interim report for the third quarter of 2027, however no later than 30 November 2027 at a conversion price of SEK 12. The share premium in connection with conversion to shares shall be transferred to the non-restricted share premium fund.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to fulfill the Company's agreed obligation to pay for the acquisition of Combinostics Oy through an issue of convertibles. The subscription price has been determined through arm's length negotiations with the shareholders of Combinostics Oy. The subscription price corresponds to 188 percent of the Company's closing price on Spotlight Stock Market on 27 November 2024. The board of directors therefore considers the subscription price to be in line with market conditions.

The board of directors or anyone appointed by the board of directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Majority requirements

Resolution in accordance with item 8 is valid only where supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds (2/3) of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting.

Number of shares and votes

The total number of shares and votes in the Company as of the date of the notice amounts to 41,688,280. The Company does not own any of its own shares.
