Background and Motive for the Rights Issue
The main reason for the Rights Issue is to finance the Company’s continued commercial expansion, primarily in the United States. QorumPartners, which is a service company in Managed Remote Patient Monitoring, was established in the beginning of 2022 and has since grown rapidly. In August 2022, Coala Life acquired Vitrics, which also is service company within the Managed Remote Patient Monitoring space. Sales of the medical device Coala Heart Monitor has developed well, with an increasing number of recurring customers and in Sweden the sales organization has been reorganized to create a better offering for the Swedish healthcare system. In the spring of 2022, the Coala Heart Monitor received 510K approval for use in lung auscultation. Coala Life’s patient platform and software has been further developed and multiple milestones related to this have been reached.

To ensure that the Company has the best conditions to build and grow its business, primarily in the United States, and to develop its product offering and establish sustainable profitability, the board of directors intends to convene an extraordinary general meeting to resolve on the Rights Issue (as well as the Overallotment Option and the Commitment Consideration Issue). Upon full subscription, the Company will initially receive proceeds of approximately SEK 101 million before deduction of transaction costs. Should the Overallotment option be fully exercised, the Company will initially receive additional proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 10.1 million before deduction of transaction costs. Approximately SEK 25 million is expected to be contributed to the Company through set-off of debt. The transaction costs related to the various issues are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 10.9 million. The Company may furthermore receive additional proceeds in the event that the warrants are exercised for the subscription of new shares during the third quarter of 2023.

The expected net proceeds will, following below order of priority and with the approximate split specified in parentheses, be used for;

1. Continued market penetration in the United States (50%)
2. R&D (12.5%)
3. Financing of day-to-day operations (37.5%)

Subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments
The Company has received subscription undertakings from existing shareholders amounting to approximately SEK 26 million, corresponding to approximately 26 per cent of the Rights Issue and from new investors amounting to approximately SEK 1.8 million, corresponding to approximately 1.8 per cent of the Rights Issue. No consideration is payable for such commitments and approximately SEK 16.4 million refers to subscription against payment by set-off of claims against the Company (mainly consisting of claims arising from the convertible loan raised by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2022).

Furthermore, the Company has received so called bottom guarantee commitments and top guarantee commitments from both existing shareholders and new investors. The bottom guarantee commitments amount to approximately SEK 38.2 million, corresponding to approximately 38 per cent of the Rights Issue. The consideration payable for such commitments corresponds to twelve (12) per cent of the committed amount in cash or fourteen (14) per cent of the committed amount in new shares in the Company. The top guarantee commitments amount to at least approximately SEK 10.5 million, corresponding to approximately 10 per cent of the Rights Issue. The consideration payable for such commitments corresponds to fourteen (14) per cent of the committed amount in cash or sixteen (16) per cent of the committed amount in new shares in the Company. Compensation to existing shareholders is only paid for the part of guarantee commitments exceeding their pro rata-share of the Rights Issue. Approximately SEK 8.7 million of the guarantee commitments refers to subscription against payment by set-off of claims against the Company (mainly consisting of claims arising from the convertible loan raised by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2022).

The subscription price for shares issued as commitment consideration to guarantors shall correspond to ninety (90) percent of the volume weighted average trading price (VWAP) of the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including February 7, 2023 until and including February 21, 2023 (i.e. corresponding to the subscription period in the Rights Issue), but no less than SEK 0.51 (i.e. the subscription price in the Rights Issue). The subscription price has been determined by the board of directors in consultation with the Company’s financial advisor following negotiations with the guarantors and is considered to be in line with market conditions in light of the purpose of the issue, i.e. to enable payment of commitment consideration to guarantors in the Rights Issue in the form of shares having a value equal to the cash consideration offered as an alternative.

The Rights Issue is consequently covered by subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments in total amounting to approximately SEK 76.4 million, corresponding to approximately 75 percent of the Rights Issue. Neither the subscription undertakings, nor the guarantee commitments are secured through bank guarantees, blocked funds, or pledge of collateral or similar arrangement.

Allocation principles
In the event all units are not subscribed for with unit rights, the Board, limited by maximum size of the Rights Issue, shall resolve on the allotment of units subscribed for without unit rights according to following principles: (i) firstly to persons who have also subscribed for units by exercising unit rights, (ii) secondly to persons who have submitted a request for subscribing units without unit rights, and (iii) thirdly to persons that have entered into guarantee commitments with the Company.

Prospectus
Full terms and conditions for the Rights Issue, as well as more detailed information about the net proceeds, guarantee commitments etc. will be included in the EU growth prospectus that is intended to be published by the Company no later than in conjunction with the start of the subscription period of the Rights Issue (“ the Prospectus ”). The Prospectus will be published on the Company’s, Redeye’s, and Nordic Issuing AB’s websites (www.coalalife.com, www.redeye.se, www.nordic-issuing.se) and in the Prospectus register administered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (www.fi.se/en/).

Preliminary time plan for the Rights Issue (all dates refer to 2023)

Increase in share capital, number of shares, and dilution
As a result of the Rights Issue, the Company’s share capital may increase by no more than SEK 49,676,021.25 through the issuance of no more than 198,704,085 new shares and additionally by no more than SEK 16,558,673.75 upon exercise of warrants for subscription of no more than 66,234,695 new shares in the Company during the third quarter of 2023. Shareholders who do not participate in the Rights Issue may financially compensate for this dilution by selling their unit rights.

In addition, the Company’s share capital may, upon full exercise of the Overallotment Option, be increased by no more than SEK 4,967,602.50 as a result of the issuance of no more than 19,870,410 additional new shares and additionally by no more than of SEK 1,655,867.50 upon exercise of warrants for subscription for no more than 6,623,470 additional new shares in the Company during the third quarter of 2023.

If the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Overallotment Option is exercised in its entirety and all issued warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares, the Company’s share capital may thus increase by in total no more than SEK 72,858,165 through the issuance of a no more than 291,432,660 new shares, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 79 percent. If all guarantors in the Rights Issue also request commitment consideration in the form of new shares in the Company, the Commitment Consideration Issue will result in a further increase of the share capital of no more than of SEK 4,768,897.75 through the issuance of no more than 19,075,591 new shares, which would correspond to a total dilution (including the Rights Issue and the Overallotment Option) of no more than approximately 80 per cent.
