INSIDE INFORMATION: The board of directors of FRISQ Holding AB (publ) ("FRISQ" or the "Company") today resolved to carry out a directed share issue of 15,750,000 shares subject to the approval by an extraordinary general meeting (the "Directed Share Issue"). The subscription price in the Directed Share Issue has been set to SEK 5.00 per share. The Directed Share Issue is fully subscribed and is expected to provide the Company with SEK 78 750 000 before deduction of transaction costs. A notice to the extra general meeting will be published today in a separate press release.

FRISQ’s CEO George Thaw comments: “When I joined FRISQ as CEO in August I was thrilled by all the business opportunities FRISQ has but I also saw the need to strengthen our financial muscles in order to execute all business opportunities. This capital infusion will secure FRISQ’s ability to build up the sales and implementation effort over the next 12 months. The market is more ready than ever for FRISQ’s product, which drives both better health outcomes and patient engagement as well as significantly more efficient health care delivery.”

The board of directors of FRISQ today resolved to carry out the Directed Share Issue of 15,750,000 shares at a subscription price of SEK 5.00 per share. The Directed Share Issue is fully subscribed and is thereby expected to provide the Company with proceeds amounting to SEK 78 750 000 before deduction of transaction costs. Subscribers in the Directed Share Issue are Swedish and international investors including Swedish institutions and existing shareholders. The subscription price is SEK 5.00 which corresponds to the latest quoted price. The subscription price has been set following negotiations on an arms' length basis with the subscribers in the Directed Share Issue, and the board of directors is therefore of the opinion that the subscription price is marketable.

The completion of the Directed Share Issue is conditional upon the approval of the extra general meeting scheduled to be held on 4 November 2020, to which a notice will be published by the Company today in a separate press release.

Through the Directed Share Issue, the number of shares and votes in the Company increases by 15,750,000, from 32,204,773 shares and votes to 47,954,773 and the share capital increases by SEK 787,500.00, from SEK 1,610,238.65 to SEK 2,397,738.65. The Directed Share Issue will entail a dilution of approximately 32.84 percent of the number of shares and votes in the Company following completion of the Directed Share Issue.
The purposes of the Directed Share Issue and the reasons for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights are that it is considered favourable for the Company and its shareholders to use the opportunity to raise capital to the Company in a time- and cost-efficient manner and at favourable terms and to secure the Company’s ability to achieve its market potential during 2021.
