Required Disclosure
The Company is exploring whether there are conditions to support a potential offering of the Company's securities in the United States. The Company's confidential submission of the draft registration statement is a first step toward such potential U.S. IPO which, if achieved, is intended to facilitate the Company's access to the U.S. public capital markets. Even if the Company determines to proceed with the potential U.S. IPO, the offering may not be consummated. The potential U.S. IPO will not commence until the SEC and Nasdaq complete their respective review processes, and any such offering remains subject to inter alia market conditions and investor demand. The Company intends to maintain the listing of its ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, where they are currently traded.
Certain statements contained in this press release constitute"forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the pursuit of the potential U.S. IPO, including the timing and outcome of SEC and Nasdaq review, the terms of the securities which may be sold in any such offering, the timing and occurrence of any such offering and, if achieved, the expected benefits thereof. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, including market and other conditions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the intentions discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
