Acconeer intends to carry out a directed new share issue

By

Acconeer AB ("Acconeer" or the "Company") today announces its intention to carry out a directed new share issue of approximately SEK 60 million to Swedish and international institutional investors (the "Directed New Share Issue"). Alps Alpine Co., Ltd., a world-leading manufacturer of electronic components, modules, and systems for cars, has undertaken to subscribe for shares corresponding to a maximum of USD 3 million in the Directed New Share Issue.

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, HONG KONG, JAPAN, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES. PLEASE REFER TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE END OF THE PRESS RELEASE.

The Directed New Share Issue is intended to be carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and with the support of the authorization granted by the annual general meeting held on 14 April 2020. Acconeer has engaged Pareto Securities AB ("Pareto Securities") to investigate the conditions for a new issue of shares through a so-called accelerated bookbuilding procedure.

The subscription price for the shares in the Directed New Share Issue is to be determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure, which will begin no earlier than 17:31 today, May 4, 2020, and end before the commencement of trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on May 5, 2020. The bookbuilding procedure may, at the discretion of the Company or Pareto Securities, close earlier or later and may be cancelled at any time.

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights are to diversify the shareholder base among Swedish and international institutional investors and at the same time raise capital in a time efficient manner. The proceeds from the Directed New Share Issue are intended to be used to finance the development of the Company's next generation platform. In addition, proceeds are intended to be used for other product and market development activities, with the aim of increasing the pace of commercialisation of Acconeer's products. The board of directors' assessment is that the subscription price in the Directed New Share Issue will be in accordance with market conditions, since it will be determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure.

In connection with the Directed New Share Issue, the Company has undertaken, with customary exceptions, not to issue additional shares for a period of 180 calendar days after the announcement of the outcome of the Directed New Share Issue. Board members and persons of the management holding shares have undertaken not to sell any shares in Acconeer for a period of 90 calendar days after the announcement of the outcome of the Directed New Share Issue, with customary exceptions.

The Directed New Share Issue is subject to a resolution by the board of directors of Acconeer, pursuant to the issue authorization given by the annual general meeting on April 14, 2020 to issue new shares, following the close of the bookbuilding procedure.

Pareto Securities AB is acting as Sole Manager and Bookrunner and Advokatfirman Schjødt is legal adviser in connection with the Directed New Share Issue.

  • The AGM resolved to adopt the Board of Directors' proposal on the implementation of an incentive program ("Warrant Program 2020/2023") with (A) issuance of warrants series 2020/2023 with deviation from shareholders' preferential rights and (B) approval of the transfer of warrants to employees. No more than 300,000 warrants shall be issued to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Acconeer Incentive AB with the right and obligation for the subsidiary to later transfer the warrants to the Company's employees. The warrants shall be transferred by the subsidiary on 20 April 2020 and on 2 November 2020, the transfer shall be made at market value at the respective transfer dates and warrants shall be allotted in accordance with the principles set forth in the Board of Directors' proposal.

However, such issues may not cause the share capital in the Company to exceed the Company's highest allowed share capital according to the articles of association. The Board of Directors may deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights. The reason for the Board of Directors' authorisation to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable the Company's possibilities to raise new capital and to take advantage of future opportunities to attract new long-term owners and to finance the Company's growth strategy. The authorisation also includes the right to decide on payment for the issued shares by set-off, in kind or with other conditions as referred in Chap. 13 Sec. 5 item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)). At a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue rate shall be determined in accordance with market conditions.

Acconeer awarded three design wins by ALPS ALPINE for presence detection in cars to a European premium car manufacturer

By

The radar technology company Acconeer AB has been chosen by ALPS ALPINE to deliver radar sensors for the use case presence detection in cars to a European premium car manufacturer. Acconeer estimates the total potential value of the design wins to US$ 9-12 million over three years starting in 2022. By "design win" Acconeer refers to that the company's radar sensor has been selected for use in a customer product, but it is not equivalent to that an order has been placed.

These are the first design wins in this area for Acconeer. ALPS ALPINE is a world-leading manufacturer of electronic components, modules, and systems for cars.

Acconeer's unique ultra-low power and high precision radar sensor will be included in several of ALPS ALPINE's products serving different use cases. The new design wins announced today are for the use case presence detection, which is driven by industry standards such as European and Australasian New Car Assessment Programs (Euro NCAP and ANCAP). They provide consumers with independent information on the level of safety offered by vehicles in the event of a severe accident. In other geographies, demand for sensor technology will be driven by legislation such as the US "Hot Cars Act".

Lars Lindell, CEO of Acconeer, comments: "We have teamed up with ALPS ALPINE for a couple of years, and we are very pleased that they have managed to win business in this important lifesaving use case. We look forward to many more design wins in the future."

Acconeer develops integration-ready Entry Module with low system cost

By

The planned Entry Module, XM132, will be power and cost-efficient with optimized performance for a range of pre-defined use cases. It will be released during the second half of 2020, to complement Acconeer's module offering, which currently consists of the XM112 High-Performance Module and XM122 IoT Module. With XM132, Acconeer takes the next step in providing a module designed for smooth integration into customer products.

With a solderable design combining an ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller unit (MCU) with the A111 radar sensor, the XM132 Entry Module enables radar-based use cases with ultra-low power consumption at an outstanding system cost. To optimize performance, the module will be provided with software tailored for specific use cases. This way, performance requirements can be met at a more efficient cost for customers implementing these selected focus use cases.

"By combining our A111 radar sensor with an M0 MCU, we can provide a product designed to meet commercial sensor module integration requirements, with a shorter time-to-market for customers. To get the best possible performance on a small and cost-efficient system like the ARM Cortex M0 MCU, we will provide dedicated software optimized for this platform. The module SW will come in different versions targeting some of our most common customer use cases fit for integration on a M0-based system," says Mikael Rosenhed, Acconeer's Head of Product Management.

The ARM Cortex M7-based XM112 High-Performance Module was released in December 2018, to let customers evaluate their use cases on an embedded system with high performance. In October 2019, the XM122 IoT Module was launched targeting connected battery-powered use cases, combining the A111 radar sensor with an ARM Cortex M4 MCU and integrated connectivity such as Bluetooth. Both modules have been very well received by the market, opening up new business segments, which is why Acconeer has decided to take the next step and complement the product offering with the XM132 Entry Module.

Item 12 – Proposal for a decision on the issue of warrants and approval of the subsidiary's transfer pursuant to Chapter 16, Section 4, second paragraph, of the Companies Act

The Board has proposed that the Annual General Meeting resolves on an incentive program for individuals who are or will be employed by the Company (individuals employed for a fixed time period are excluded) including the CEO ("Employees") in accordance with the conditions set out below ("Warrant Program 2020/2023").

For the implementation of the Warrant Program 2020/2023, the Board has proposed that the Annual General Meeting resolve to (A) issue warrants series 2020/2023 with deviation from shareholders' preferential rights and (B) approve the transfer of warrants to Employees under the following conditions. Items A-B constitutes a single proposal and shall be handled by the Annual General Meeting through a joint decision.

A. Issue of warrants

  1. No more than 300,000 warrants shall be issued.
  2. With the exception of shareholders' preferential rights, the subscriber shall be the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Acconeer Incentive AB (the "Subsidiary") with the right and obligation for the Subsidiary to transfer the warrants to the Employees in accordance with paragraph B below.
  3. The Subsidiary shall pay a cash consideration for the respective warrants corresponding to the market value of the warrants at the time of allotment, which shall be determined by an independent valuation institute immediately following the Annual General Meeting using the Black & Scholes valuation model.
  4. Subscription of warrants shall be made on a special subscription list no later than 20 April 2020. The Board of Directors is entitled to extend the subscription period.
  5. Payment for the subscribed warrants shall be made in cash by 5 May 2020. The Board of Directors is entitled to postpone the payment date.
  6. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company.
  7. Subscription of shares under the warrants may take place during the period from 1 May 2023 until 30 June 2023.
  8. The subscription price per share shall correspond to 120 percent of the volume weighted average price according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market's official curriculum list for shares in the Company during the period from 31 March 2020 through 13 April 2020, however the subscription price per share shall never be less than the quotient value.
  9. The shares subscribed for on the basis of the warrants shall entitle the holder to a distribution of profits for the first time on the first record date of dividends that occur after the subscription of shares has been exercised through the exercise of the warrants.
  10. Applicable translation terms and other terms and conditions for the warrants can be found in "Terms and conditions for warrants series 2020/2023 for new subscription of shares in Acconeer AB (publ)".
  11. The Board of Directors, or the one the Board of Directors appoints, is authorised to make minor adjustments to the Annual General Meeting's decisions and attachments that may prove necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights are that the Board of Directors believes that a warrant program that allows employees to gain access to the Company's value development promotes participation and accountability and brings increased motivation to promote favourable economic development in the Company. An incentive program is also expected to contribute to the recruitment and retention of competent, motivated and committed employees.

B. Transfer of warrants to Employees

Warrant Program 2020/2023 shall be carried out mainly as described below.

  1. The warrants shall, for payment, be transferred by the Subsidiary on 20 April 2020 and on 2 November 2020 to the Employees in accordance with the guidelines set out in section B.3.
  2. Transfer according to item B.1 shall be made at market value at the respective transfer dates, which shall be determined by an independent valuation institute using the Black & Scholes valuation model.
  3. Warrants shall be allotted in accordance with the following guidelines:
    • Every Employee on each transfer date shall be given the opportunity to acquire warrants to an amount equivalent to no more than one tenth (1/10) of the Employee's annual income prior to income tax.
    • No more than 150,000 warrants in total may be allotted at each occasion.
  4. There will be no guaranteed allotment and over-subscription cannot occur. In case the subscription of warrants exceeds the highest amount of warrants which may be allotted, allotment of warrants will be made proportionally in accordance with the numbers subscribed for. In the alternative, allotment shall be made by the drawing of lots exercised by the Company.
  5. Transfer of warrants may not take place after the Annual General Meeting 2021, after which non-transferred warrants shall be cancelled. Such cancellation of warrants shall be reported to the Swedish Companies Registration office for duly registration. The right to transfer warrants in Warrant Program 2020/2023 assumes that the Employee holds his position or has signed an agreement thereon by the time of the allotment and not announced or been informed at that time that the employment is intended to be terminated.
  6. Allotment requires that both the acquisition of warrants legally can be made, and that the acquisition of warrants can be made under reasonable administrative and economical efforts.

Costs, dilution and impact on key ratios

As the warrants are subscribed for at market value, the Company is of the opinion that there will be no social costs for the Company as a result of the issue. However, some costs may arise in case the subscription price exceeds the initially estimated market value. The costs will therefore mainly consist of limited costs for the implementation and administration of the warrants. Warrant Program 2020/2023 is not expected to entail any costs of significance to the Company. For this reason, no measures for hedging the program have been taken.

Assuming that all 300,000 warrants in Warrant Program 2020/2023 are exercised for subscription of new shares, the Company's share capital will increase by no more than SEK 15,000, resulting in a maximum dilution effect of approximately 1.54 percent. The key figure earnings per share for the full year 2019 had changed in such a way that the loss per share had decreased by approximately SEK 0.06 from about SEK 3.58 to about SEK 3.52. In addition, existing warrant programs includes 853,000 new shares in the Company, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 4.25 percent. Overall, existing warrants and Warrant Program 2020/2023 can result in a maximum dilution effect of approximately 5.65 percent.

The above estimates are subject to revaluations of the warrants under the usual translation terms contained in the full terms. All dilution effects have been calculated as the number of additional shares in relation to the number of existing plus additional shares.

Preparation of the proposal

The Board of Directors' proposal has been prepared by the Board of Directors together with external advisors. Board members will not be allotted.

Majority requirements

The resolution of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Board's proposals under items A-B above is proposed to be adopted as a joint decision. A valid resolution requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders with at least nine tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

Item 13 – Proposal for a decision regarding authorisation of the board of directors to issue new shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the meeting authorises the Board of Directors until the next Annual General Meeting to, on one or more occasions, resolve to increase the Company's share capital by issue of no more than shares corresponding to twenty-five (25) percent of the total number of shares in the Company at the time of the meeting's decision of authorisation.

However, such issues may not cause the share capital in the Company to exceed the Company's highest allowed share capital according to the articles of association. The Board of Directors may deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights. The reason for the Board of Directors' authorisation to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable the Company's possibilities to raise new capital and to take advantage of future opportunities to attract new long-term owners and to finance the Company's growth strategy. The authorisation also includes the right to decide on payment for the issued shares by set-off, in kind or with other conditions as referred in Chap. 13 Sec. 5 item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)). At a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue rate shall be determined in accordance with market conditions.

For a valid resolution on the proposal in this item 13, the proposal have to be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as shares represented at the meeting.

Available documents

Accounting documents, auditor's report and the Board of Directors' complete proposal for a decision under item 12 will be available with the Company and on the Company's website, www.acconeer.com, no later than 24 March 2020, and will be sent to the shareholders who request it and state their postal address. Copies will also be available at the Annual General Meeting.

Information at the Annual General Meeting

At the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder requests it and the Board of Directors believes that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide information on circumstances that may affect the assessment of matters on the agenda as well as conditions that may affect the assessment of the Company's financial situation.

The number of shares and votes in the Company

The total number of shares in the Company amounts to 19,238,500. The company only has one class of shares and the total number of votes in the Company amounts to 19,238,500.
