FIT BIOTECH OY COMPANY RELEASE 13 June 2016 at 9:15 EET FINANCIAL SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY HAS ISSUED A PUBLIC WARNING TO FIT BIOTECH OY The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has issued a public warning to FIT Biotech Oy for its omission to fulfill the obligation to publish a prospectus. The public warning relates to a share issue that the company carried out between September and December 2014, in which the company, in accordance with the interpretation of the Financial Supervisory Authority, offered its new series D shares to public for an amount exceeding EUR 1.5 million. The case concerns a share issue that the company directed to its shareholders and holders of option rights between September and De-cember 2014 after the crowdfunding round that the company organised in February 2014 before its listing. The total proceeds raised both in the crowdfunding and the subsequent share issue referred to in the public warning remained below EUR 1.5 million. According to the the company's understanding, the error was technical in nature, and this understanding was affected by the fact that the total proceeds raised remained below EUR 1.5 million. However, the Financial Supervisory Authority deemed that since an amount of shares with a consideration exceeding EUR 1.5 million was offered to public in the share issue, a prospectus in accordance with the Finn-ish Securities Markets Act should have been prepared for the share issue.
