NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES.

Pareto Securities AB (“Pareto Securities”) exercise the over-allotment option in respect of 553,783 shares in Linkfire A/S, (“Linkfire” or the “Company”). The stabilization period has now ended and no further stabilization transactions will be effected.

As announced in connection with the offering to acquire new shares in Linkfire (the “Offering“) and the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market, Pareto Securities, in its capacity as stabilization manager, may carry out transactions aimed at supporting the market price of the shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the market.

Stabilization measures, which aim to support the market price of the shares, may be conducted on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market, the OTC market or in other ways, and may be conducted at any time during the period starting on the first day of trading in the shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market and ending not later than 30 calendar days thereafter. Pareto Securities is, however, not required to undertake any stabilization measures and there is no assurance that stabilization measures will be undertaken. Stabilization, if undertaken, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. In no event will transactions be effected at levels above the price in the Offering.

To cover a potential over-allotment in connection with the Offering, the Company has, upon request by Pareto Securities, undertaken to sell an additional 2,008,928 shares corresponding to a maximum of 15 percent of the total number of shares in the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option“) at a price corresponding to the price in the Offering, i.e. SEK 11.20 per share. The Over-Allotment Option can be fully or partly exercised within 30 calendar days from the first day of trading of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market. Since Pareto Securities has undertaken stabilization transactions in respect of 1,455,145 shares in the Company, Pareto Securities has today notified that the over-allotment option has been exercised in respect of 553,783 shares.

Pareto Securities has, in its capacity as stabilization manager, announced that stabilization measures have been undertaken in accordance with Article 5(4) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in accordance with what is set out below. The stabilization period regarding the Offering has now ended and no further stabilization transactions will be effected. Below is a summary of the stabilization transactions which have been undertaken during the stabilization period. The contact person at Pareto Securities is Anton Wester (tel: +46 (0) 8 402 52 66).

This announcement contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s intentions, beliefs, or current expectations about and targets for Linkfire’s future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, performance, prospects, anticipated growth, strategies and opportunities and the markets in which Linkfire operates. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “aim” or “might”, or, in each case, their negative, or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this announcement are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that they will materialize or prove to be correct. Because these statements are based on assumptions or estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results or outcome could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause actual events to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in this release by such forward-looking statements.

Information to distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II“); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements“), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in Linkfire have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the “EU Target Market Assessment“). Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process in the United Kingdom, the target market assessment in respect of the shares in the Company has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for such shares is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“UK MiFIR“); and (ii) all channels for distribution of such shares to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate (the “UK Target Market Assessment” and, together with the EU Target Market Assessment, the “Target Market Assessment“). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the shares in Linkfire may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in Linkfire offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in Linkfire is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or UK MiFIR; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in Linkfire.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in Linkfire and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This information is information that Linkfire is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact persons set out above, at 2021-07-28 08:00 CEST.
