The subscription period runs from today until 18 August 2026. The initial issue volume amounts to approximately SEK 39.5 million and is covered by pre-subscription and guarantee undertakings totaling approximately SEK 29 million, corresponding to approximately 73.4 percent of the Rights Issue.

Summary of the Rights Issue:
Background
The Board of Directors does not believe that the existing working capital is sufficient for the current needs during the coming twelve-month period. In order to provide working capital to strengthen the Company's balance sheet through increased financial flexibility, support an accelerated commercialization and market establishment of the Company's product portfolio under the ClearPoint Prism® brand and expansion of the Company's partnership model, the Board of Directors has resolved on a rights issue of units.
The Rights Issue shall be carried out with preferential rights for existing shareholders, but the general public will also be given the opportunity to subscribe for units in the Rights Issue. The proceeds from the Rights Issue, including the exercise of attached warrants of series TO 9 B, are intended to be used to support an accelerated commercialization and market establishment of the Company's Prism portfolio as well as expansion of the Company's partnership model in market segments also outside of neurosurgery. This is planned to be carried out with activities within the realization of the Company's Prism pipeline in collaboration with the Company's strategic partners and expansion of market approval for the Prism portfolio in the US and Europe as well as investments for scale-up.
The Company has a minimum net capital need of approximately SEK 45 million until expected positive cash flow in Q1 2028. With a fully subscribed Rights Issue, as well as full exercise of the attached warrants during the exercise period from and including 1 March 2027 up to and including 15 March 2027, it is the assessment of the Board of Directors that CLS will be able to make immediate capital structure improvements and that no further financing needs will arise before the Company is expected to achieve a positive cash flow during the first quarter of 2028.
Use of proceeds
To meet the capital needs, CLS is now carrying out the Rights Issue, which if fully subscribed can initially provide the Company with approximately SEK 39.5 million before issue costs. The issue costs for the Rights Issue amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 5.7 million (of which approximately SEK 3.2 million relates to guarantee compensation, provided that it should be paid out in full, in cash). With net financing of approximately SEK 33.8 million in total (assuming full subscription and that the guarantee compensation is paid out in full, in cash), the Company intends to finance the following activities:

In order to comply with the product governance requirements contained in: (a) Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council 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) national 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 securities offered have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such securities 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 "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Company's shares or warrants may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Company's shares and warrants offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Company's shares or warrants is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection and 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 Rights Issue. 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 (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 Company's shares or warrants. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Company's shares and warrants and determining appropriate distribution channels.
