Today, on 9 July 2026, the subscription period begins for 4C Group AB (publ)’s (”4C Strategies” or the “Company”) new issue of shares of approximately SEK 54 million with preferential rights for existing shareholders, which was resolved by the Board of Directors on 8 June 2026, and approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 26 June 2026 (the “Rights Issue”). The Rights Issue is fully secured through subscription commitments from existing shareholders and external investors. If the Rights Issue is oversubscribed, the Board of Directors may resolve to increase the total issue amount by up to approximately SEK 20 million through an over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The subscription period runs until 23 July 2026. Note that some banks and custodians may apply an earlier response deadline for subscription in the Rights Issue.

Summary of the Rights Issue

• Those who, on the record date of 7 July 2026, are registered as shareholders in 4C Strategies will have preferential rights to subscribe for shares in the Company in proportion to their existing shareholding in the Company. Each existing share entitles to one (1) subscription right. Five (5) subscription rights entitle to subscription of one (1) new share in the Rights Issue.
• The subscription price is SEK 7.00 per share. No commission will be charged.
• A maximum of 7,654,999 shares may be issued in the Rights Issue.
• The subscription period in the Rights Issue runs from and including 9 July 2026 up to and including 23 July 2026.
• Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the Company will receive issue proceeds of approximately SEK 54 million before issue costs (of which a maximum of approximately SEK 31 million is contributed through set-off of existing shareholder loans).
• The Company has received subscription commitments from existing shareholders and external investors totalling approximately SEK 54 million, corresponding to 100 percent of the Rights Issue (excluding the Over-Allotment Option). The Rights Issue is thus fully secured.
• In the event of oversubscription in the Rights Issue, the Board of Directors of the Company may resolve to exercise the Over-Allotment Option of no more than 2,857,142 shares, corresponding to a maximum of approximately SEK 20 million before deduction of issue costs. The subscription price in the Over-Allotment Option will be the same as in the Rights Issue, i.e. SEK 7.00 per share.
