Flat Capital AB (publ) ("Flat") publishes its interim report for January-June 2025 where the Net Asset Value per share amounts to 14.04 SEK per share, an increase of +30% compared to the previous quarter. The strong value development is mainly a result of positive value changes in the holdings; io Products, OpenAI, Perplexity, Harvey, xAI and Quartr, whose accumulated value adjustment amounts to approx. +159 MSEK, following new capital rounds. During the quarter, a new investment of approx. 10 MSEK was made in the AI company Pieces, an AI tool for developers with the goal of giving the user's computer its own memory. On the financing side, Flat carried out a new share issue, with preferential rights for existing B shareholders, with the aim of raising 300 MSEK in new capital.
