This announcement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of securities in any Member State of the European Economic Area, other than Finland, which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC, as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU, the "Prospectus Directive") (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. Accordingly any person making or intending to make any offer in that Relevant Member State of securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this announcement, may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the joint global coordinators to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor any of the Managers have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of the securities through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the Managers which constitute the final placement of the securities contemplated in this announcement. Neither the Company nor any of the Managers have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of securities in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or any Managers to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
In connection with the contemplated IPO and in accordance with all applicable laws and rules, EQT and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) Helsinki Branch (the "Stabilizing Manager") (or persons acting on its behalf) acting for the account of the Managers, may agree that the selling shareholders shall grant the Stabilizing Manager an option to over-allot shares or effect stabilization transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail (provided that the aggregate principal number of shares allotted does not exceed 15% of the aggregate principal number of the offer shares in the contemplated IPO). However, stabilization action may not necessarily occur and may cease at any time, and the Stabilization Manager is not required to enter into such transactions. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date of commencement of trading of the shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than 30 days after that date.
