Proposed agenda
Proposed resolutions
Resolution regarding a directed issue of units to subscribers covered by Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (item 6)
The Board of Directors of Spermosens AB, Reg. No. 559179-0380 (the “Company”), proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of not more than 24,096,384 units with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights on the following terms and conditions.
The subscription price corresponds to the subscription price in the directed issue to the other participants in the Capital Facility and represents a discount of approximately 15 per cent compared to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s share during the ten (10) trading days immediately following the Company’s call of capital in accordance with the agreements entered into regarding the Capital Facility. In light of the challenging financing climate prevailing in the capital markets, the Board of Directors considers the subscription price to be on market terms and to reflect the demand for the Company’s shares.

Background and reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights
The issue is carried out as part of the utilisation of the Capital Facility entered into and announced by the Company on 7 May 2026. The purpose of the Capital Facility and the issue is to provide the Company with financial flexibility and the ability to continue executing its commercial plan, with full focus on completing the clinical validation of JUNO-Checked Generation 3 and advancing partner discussions towards commercial agreements.
Prior to the decision to enter into the Capital Facility, within which the present issue is being carried out, the Board of Directors carefully investigated and considered alternative financing opportunities, including raising capital through a rights issue. Following an overall assessment and careful consideration, however, the Board of Directors concluded that an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is a more advantageous alternative for the Company and its shareholders than a rights issue, and that it is objectively in the interests of both the Company and its shareholders to carry out the issue. The Board of Directors has, among other things, taken the following factors into consideration.
A rights issue would have required significantly more time and resources than the issue, including due to the extensive work required to secure such an issue. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that a rights issue would be fully subscribed. The shorter execution period provides greater flexibility to take advantage of short-term investment opportunities, while reducing the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the market price of its shares and enabling the Company to benefit from the current interest in the share. The costs of the issue are also expected to be lower than those of a rights issue, including because, in light of the market volatility that has characterised 2025 and 2026, a rights issue would likely have required extensive underwriting commitments from an underwriting consortium. This would, in turn, have resulted in additional costs and/or dilution for the shareholders, depending on how the underwriting compensation was structured.
The reason why the issue is directed to the relevant investors is that, through the Capital Facility, they have undertaken to provide capital to the Company on the terms and conditions previously announced and approved by the general meeting. As the investors consist of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, respectively, their participation is subject to the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (the Swedish “Leo Rules”). Their participation is therefore implemented through a separate directed issue resolved upon by the general meeting. The issue is carried out on the same terms and conditions as the directed issue to the other investors participating in the Capital Facility.
Majority requirements
A valid resolution pursuant to item 6 above requires support by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
