The Company's Board of Directors has made an overall assessment and carefully considered the possibility of raising capital through a rights issue. The conclusion of this assessment is that the Directed Issue is objectively the best alternative for the Company and its shareholders. The reasons for that, and for deviating from the shareholders preferential rights, are (i) that a rights issue would take a significantly longer time to complete and increase the risk for an adverse effect on the share price, especially in light of the current market volatility and the challenging market conditions for smaller companies, (ii) to diversify and strengthen the Company's shareholder base with institutional and new private investors, (iii) to carry out the Directed Issue can be made at a significantly lower cost and with less complexity than a rights issue and because of current market conditions, the board of directors has assessed that a rights issue would also require external underwriting from guarantors that would entail additional significant costs.
