Exercise of the over-allotment option NOT FOR PUBLICATION,

NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL ABG Sundal Collier and Handelsbanken Capital Markets (“Joint Global Coordinators”) have notified Internationella Engelska Skolan i Sverige Holdings II AB (publ) (“IES” or the “Company”), Internationella Engelska Skolan i Sverige Holdings I AB (the ”Selling Shareholder”), a Company controlled by TA Associates, IES’ founder Barbara Bergström and parts of IES’ management and employees, that the over-allotment option has been exercised in full in respect of 1,501,875 existing shares in IES. In connection with the initial public offering and listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm (the “Offering”), the Selling Shareholder granted the Joint Global Coordinators the option to purchase up to 1,501,875 existing shares in the Company to cover over-allotments of shares in the Offering (the “Over -Allotment Option”). The Joint Global Coordinators have today exercised the Over -Allotment Option in full. No stabilization activities have been carried out since the listing, and due to the Company’s share price performance, the Joint Global Coordinators have decided to end the stabilization period. Description of the Over-Allotment Option An over-allotment option means that the Selling Shareholder in the IPO, if there is a large demand for shares, has the option to sell more shares in the offering. In this case the Over-Allotment Option meant that the Selling Shareholder, in line with what is stated in the prospectus, has sold an additional 1,501,875 existing shares in IES. The Over-Allotment Option was issued in order to make it practically possible to carry out price stabilization transactions during the first 30 calendar days after the listing of IES’ shares. As the share price development has been good and stable no price stabilization transactions have been needed and the Joint Global Coordinators have today decided to terminate the stabilization period. The use of the Over-Allotment Option has no effect for other existing shareholders.
