Subscription undertakings and the Guarantee Commitment
Under the Guarantee Intention, which was entered into in connection with the Board of Directors' resolution on the Rights Issue on 3 September 2026, Bergs Securities could, up until the expiry of the subscription period in the Rights Issue, fulfil the Guarantee Intention by delivering a guarantee confirmation, whereupon a binding guarantee commitment arises. SciBase has today, on 25 September 2026, received such guarantee confirmation from Bergs Securities.
The Guarantee Commitment means that Bergs Securities has undertaken to subscribe for shares in the Rights Issue that are not subscribed for with or without the support of subscription rights, up to an amount of approximately SEK 24.2 million. Allotment will be made in accordance with the allotment principles announced on 3 September 2026. In support of the Guarantee Commitment, Bergs Securities has entered into sub-guarantee agreements with a consortium of investors corresponding to the entire Guarantee Commitment.
The guarantee compensation and the other terms of the Guarantee Commitment are unchanged from those set out in the press release published by the Company on 3 September 2026.

No compensation is payable for the subscription undertakings.
The subscription undertakings and the Guarantee Commitment amount in aggregate to approximately SEK 57.5 million, corresponding to 100 percent of the Rights Issue. Neither the subscription undertakings nor the Guarantee Commitment are secured by bank guarantee, blocked funds, pledge or similar arrangements.

Forward-looking statements
Matters discussed in this press release may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements that do not relate to historical facts and events, as well as statements relating to the future which, for example, contain expressions such as "anticipates", "intends", "may", "will", "should", "estimates", "believes", "could", "plans", "continues", "potential", "estimates", "forecasts", "known" or similar expressions. In particular, these statements relate to future results, financial position, cash flows, plans and expectations regarding the company's operations and management, future growth and profitability, as well as the general economic and regulatory environment and other circumstances affecting the company, many of which are in turn based on further assumptions, such as the absence of changes in existing political, legal, tax, market or economic conditions or in applicable laws (including, but not limited to, accounting principles, accounting methods and tax policies), which, individually or together, may be material to the company's results or its ability to conduct its operations. Although the Company considers that these assumptions were reasonable when they were made, they are by their nature subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors that are difficult or impossible to predict and that may be beyond the Company's control. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other material factors may cause actual events to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Prospective investors should therefore not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information contained herein, and prospective investors are strongly recommended to read those sections of the information document that contain a more detailed description of factors that may affect the Company's business and the market in which the Company operates. The information, opinions and forward-looking statements in this press release are valid only as at the date of this press release and may be subject to change without notice.
