Change in number of shares and share capital and dilution
Acconeer announced in a press release on 18 March 2025 that the Company had carried out a directed share issue to the strategic investor Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. (the “Directed Share Issue”). Through the Directed Share Issue, the number of shares in Acconeer increased by 5,482,456 shares, from 62,154,827 shares to 67,637,283 shares, and the share capital increased by SEK 274,122.80, from SEK 3,107,741.35 to SEK 3,381,864.15, resulting in a dilution of approximately 8.1 per cent.

Through the Rights Issue, the number of shares in Acconeer will increase by an additional 5,484,249 shares, from 67,637,283 shares to 73,121,532 shares, and the share capital will increase by SEK 274,212.45, from SEK 3,381,864.15 to SEK 3,656,076.60. For existing shareholders who do not participate in the Rights Issue, this means, at full subscription, an additional dilution effect of approximately 7.5 per cent of the votes and capital in the Company.
