Information to distributors
In consideration of the product governance requirements in: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments ("MiFID II"), (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II, and (c) Chapter 5 of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations regarding investment services and activities (FFFS 2017:2) (jointly referred to below as "MiFID II's product governance requirements"), and with no liability to pay damages for claims that may rest with a "manufacturer" (in accordance with MiFID II's product governance requirements) that may otherwise be relevant, the shares, subscription rights and BTAs in the Company have been subject to a product approval process whereby the target market for the shares, subscription rights and BTAs in the Company comprises (i) retail clients, and (ii) investors who meet the requirements for non-retail clients and equivalent counterparties, each in accordance with MiFID II (the "target market").
Notwithstanding the assessment of the target market, distributors are to note the following: the value of the shares, subscription rights and BTAs in the Company may decline and it is not certain that investors will recover all or portions of the amount invested; the shares, subscription rights and BTAs in the Company offer no guaranteed income and no protection of capital; and an investment in the shares in the Company is suitable only for investors who do not require a guaranteed income or protection of capital, who (either themselves or together with an appropriate financial advisor or other type of advisor) are capable of evaluating the benefits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient funds with which to sustain such losses as may arise from the investment. The assessment of the target market does not impact the requirements in the contractual, statutory, regulatory or sales restrictions in relation to the Rights Issue.
The assessment of the target market is not to be considered to be: (a) an assessment of suitability and appropriateness under MiFID II, or (b) a recommendation to any investors or group of investors to invest in, procure or take any other action regarding shares, subscription rights and BTAs in the Company.
Each distributor is responsible for performing their own assessment of the target market regarding the Company's shares, subscription rights and BTAs and for deciding on suitable channels of distribution.
