The warrants are issued free of charge to the Company and shall be transferred to the new key persons on market terms at a price established in accordance with a calculated market value for the warrants by application of Black & Scholes valuation model. Each (1) warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) share in the Company during the period commencing on 1 December 2026 (however not earlier than the day after the publication of the Company’s interim report for the period Q3 2026) up to and including the date that falls 30 calendar days thereafter. Under the terms and conditions of the warrants, the period during which the warrants may be exercised may be extended if participants are prevented from exercising their subscription rights due to applicable laws on insider trading or any equivalents. The subscription price for each new share subscribed by support of the warrants shall be determined to an amount equivalent to 160 percent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market during the period of ten trading days immediately preceding the offer to subscribe for warrants, rounded to the nearest full ten cents (Sw. öre) whereby five cents shall be rounded up. However, the subscription price shall not be less than the share’s quota value. Upon full exercise of the warrants the Company’s share capital will increase by SEK 1,020.90. The complete terms and conditions for the warrants are available on the Company’s website, www.renewcell.com. As set forth in the terms and conditions for the warrants, the subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription of may be recalculated in certain cases.
