Genova intends to use the net proceeds from the New Share Issue for opportunities on the transaction market, which the Company expects will arise as a result of challenging market conditions for certain property owners, while Genova maintains a balanced financial risk profile.

The New Share Issue is carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. The Board of Directors' assessment is that the Company could not have carried out a capital acquisition to create financial preparedness in another form on more favorable terms for the Company and its shareholders. The Company has in this context, carefully considered the possibility of acquiring the corresponding capital through a new issue of shares with preferential rights for the current shareholders, but it has, however, been assessed that such new issue of shares, compared to the New Share Issue, would entail a significantly longer implementation period and higher costs. A longer implementation period may entail that the Company miss out on such market opportunities for which the capital acquisition serves to create to financial preparedness. A longer implementation period also entails an increased market exposure as well as a higher potential risk of a material negative impact on the share price of the Company's shares. Such new issue of shares would also entail higher costs and would likely be carried out at a lower subscription price. The subscription price of SEK 55 per share corresponds to a premium of 3.1 percent compared to the volume-weighted average price for the 10 latest trading days and a discount of 3.5 percent compared to the closing price on Nasdaq Stockholm on 10 January 2023. The subscription price price has been determined through a so-called accelerated book building procedure carried out with institutional investors by Carnegie. Consequently, it is the the Board of Directors’ assessment that the subscription price reflects current market conditions and demand and is therefore on market terms.
