SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE SECOND QUARTER

- Acconeer receives order from CODICO worth USD 125,000.
- The annual general meeting was held on 27 April 2021, for the 2020 fiscal year.
- It is the company's assessment that the effects of Covid-19 will have a limited impact on operations in 2021. We expect no impact on either the development side or the manufacture of sensors, while the manufacture of modules will be affected by a global shortage on processors that have arisen in connection with Covid-19. Regarding demand for the company's products we expect further delays in customer projects, fewer start-up projects and that our customers' production rate will be affected by the lack of processors.
