Comment regarding trade among members of Acconeer AB’s management team

By

Due to questions from shareholders regarding members of the management team's sale of warrants and shares in Acconeer AB, the company clarifies that all persons in the management team continue to retain or intend to increase their holding of shares in the company in connection with the warrant program with the last subscription date of June 30.

Comment from Magnus Gerward, Head of Business Development:

"My sale of a small number of shares in recent days was carried out with the intention of financing the subscription of shares via the subscription warrant program. When the subscription period is over, my intention is to have a larger shareholding in Acconeer than before. I have a long-term positive view of Acconeer and have a very strong belief in the company's development in the coming years."
