Minesto Announces Successfully Registered Rights Issue Prospectus by Swedish Authorities

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/-- Minesto AB, an established name in marine energy technology committed to reducing the global carbon footprint, declared that an extraordinary general meeting has endorsed its Rights Issue, as announced on February 26, 2024. The Rights Issue consists of units, comprising new shares and warrants, and is estimated to summon approximately SEK 120.5 million. The approval of the Rights Issue was confirmed by the extraordinary general meeting held on March 14, 2024, and was publicized promptly by Minesto the same day.

Today, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority ("SFSA") has officially approved and registered Minesto's prospectus related to the Rights Issue ("the Prospectus"). The Prospectus and other pertinent information connected to the Rights Issue are now accessible on Minesto's website, www.minesto.com, ensuring stakeholders can readily obtain important insights. Additionally, interested parties can find the Prospectus on Pareto Securities' webpage at www.paretosec.com and within the SFSA's prospektregistret at www.fi.se/en/our-registers/prospektregistret. The document has been prepared considering the local tongue, with the Prospectus available exclusively in Swedish.

Details Enclosed in the Prospectus

The Prospectus, meticulously prepared by the Minesto Board of Directors, comprises all necessary information concerning the Rights Issue. Following the standards set by Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"), it has been crafted as a simplified prospectus appropriate for secondary issuances. With the SFSA's approval under Article 20 of the Prospectus Regulation, the Prospectus adheres to completeness, understandability, and coherence requisites. However, it is crucial to recognize that SFSA's approval does not translate into an endorsement of Minesto or the securities detailed in the Prospectus. SFSA does not affirm the factual information's precision or totality. Potential investors are thus urged to independently assess the suitability of investment in Minesto.

An Overview of the Rights Issue Schedule

The Rights Issue schedule is as follows:

| Milestone | Date | | --- | --- | | Record date for the Rights Issue | 15 March 2024 | | Trading in unit rights | 19 - 26 March 2024 | | Subscription period | 19 March - 2 April 2024 | | Trading in paid subscribed unit (BTU) | 19 March - 16 April 2024 | | Preliminary outcome of the Rights Issue | 2 April 2024 | | First day of trading in warrants of series TO4 | 22 April 2024 | | Subscription period for warrants of series TO4 | 18 March - 1 April 2025 |
