NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH ACTION WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION. THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO ACQUIRE SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION.

Fragbite Group AB (publ) ("Fragbite Group" or the "Company") has completed the rights issue of units as resolved by the Company's board of directors on May 23, 2024, and approved by the extraordinary general meeting on June 25, 2024 (the "Rights Issue"). The board of directors, based on the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting held on June 25, 2024, and in accordance with the guarantee agreements entered into and previously communicated, has today decided on a directed share issue to the guarantors of the Rights Issue who have chosen to receive their guarantee compensation in the form of newly issued shares in the Company (the "Compensation Issue"). The subscription price in the Compensation Issue has been set at SEK 0.02 per share, which corresponds to the subscription price per share in the Rights Issue, with payment being made through set-off of the guarantors' claims.

In connection with the Rights Issue, several external investors and existing shareholders provided guarantee commitments. The Rights Issue was covered by approximately 43.2 percent bottom guarantee commitments and approximately 18.7 percent top guarantee commitments. For the provided guarantee commitments, guarantee compensation is paid whereby compensation for the top guarantee commitments is 20 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash or alternatively 20 percent of the guaranteed amount in the form of newly issued shares in the Company, and compensation for the bottom guarantee commitments is 12 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash or alternatively 12 percent of the guaranteed amount in the form of newly issued shares in the Company.

Santhe Dahl Invest AB, Zell Capital AB and Maida Vale Capital AB have chosen to receive their guarantee compensation in the form of newly issued shares in the Company. Consequently, the board of directors, based on the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting held on June 25, 2024, has today decided on the Compensation Issue, which comprises a total of 66,000,000 new shares. The guarantors who have not chosen to receive their guarantee compensation in the form of newly issued shares will instead receive a cash amount for each guarantee commitment. The cash portion of the guarantee compensation amounts to approximately 5.2 MSEK.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in the Compensation Issue is to fulfill the Company's contractual obligation to the guarantors. The board of directors also considers it beneficial for the Company's financial position to take advantage of the opportunity to pay the guarantee compensation in the form of shares instead of through cash payments.

Payment in the Compensation Issue will be made through set-off of the respective guarantor's claim for guarantee compensation. The subscription price has been set at SEK 0.02 per share. The subscription price corresponds to the subscription price per share in the Rights Issue. A total of 1,320,000 SEK will be set off in connection with the Compensation Issue. The subscription price in the Compensation Issue, SEK 0.02 per share, corresponds to the subscription price in the Rights Issue, and has been determined through negotiations between the guarantors and the Company, in consultation with financial advisors and through analysis of a number of market factors. The Board of Directors' assessment is therefore that the subscription price is market-based, taking into account prevailing market conditions. All shares in the Compensation Issue have been subscribed for and allotted.

Share capital and number of shares
Through the Compensation Issue, the number of shares in Fragbite Group increases by 66,000,000 shares, from 3,155,824,394 shares to 3,221,824,394 shares, and the share capital increases by approximately 1,099,981.00 SEK, from approximately 52,596,164.64 SEK to approximately 53,696,145.64 SEK, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 2.05 percent.

Advisors
Fragbite Group has engaged Penser by Carnegie, Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ), and Advokatfirman Schjødt as financial and legal advisors in connection with the Rights Issue.
