Excercise of over-allotment option and end of stabilisation period

As announced on 18 June 2021 in the press release regarding the first day of trading in Vimian’s ordinary share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market (the "Listing"), Carnegie has, in its capacity as stabilisation manager, had the option to carry out transactions in the Vimian share aimed at supporting the price of the share at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the market.

Stabilisation transactions in the Vimian share have been possible to carry out on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at any time from the first day of trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market (on 18 June 2021) and for no longer than 30 calendar days thereafter. Carnegie has, however, been under no obligation to effect stabilising transactions and there has been no assurance that stabilising transactions would be undertaken. Further, stabilising transactions, if undertaken, could be discontinued at any time without prior notice. Stabilisation transactions could in no event be effected at levels above the price in the private placement carried out in connection with the Listing (the “Private Placement”), i.e. SEK 76 per share.

In connection with the Private Placement, Fidelio entered into an undertaking to, within 30 days from the first day of trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, upon the request of Carnegie, sell up to additional 14,395,944 existing ordinary shares in Vimian to cover any over-allotment in connection with the Listing (the “Over-Allotment Option”). Since Carnegie, in accordance with what is stated below, has undertaken stabilisation transactions in respect of 294,387 shares in the Company (as announced on 24 June 2021), and due to Vimian’s share price performance, Carnegie today notified the Company and Fidelio that Carnegie has exercised the Over-Allotment Option in respect of 14,101,557 ordinary shares and that the stabilisation period has ended.

Carnegie has, in its capacity as stabilisation manager, notified that stabilisation measures, in accordance with Article 5.4 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU No 596/2014), have been undertaken in the Vimian share on First North as specified below. Contact person at Carnegie is Johan Flintull, phone: +46 8 588 688 00.
