UPPSALA, SE / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2026 / Biovica International AB (publ) (“Biovica” or the “Company”)(STO:BIOVIC-B)(STO:BIOVIC.B)(FRA:9II) hereby announces the outcome of the Company’s rights issue of B-shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders, in which the subscription period ended on 21 October 2026 (the “Rights Issue”). The outcome shows that approximately 49.97 percent of the shares offered have been subscribed for with subscription rights, approximately 21.14 percent have been subscribed for without subscription rights and approximately 28.89 percent shall be allocated to HDF Cancer Monitoring BV (“HDF”) in its capacity as guarantor in the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue is therefore fully subscribed.

Outcome of the Rights Issue
The Rights Issue comprised a maximum of 97,303,733 new B-shares, of which 48,617,940 B-shares, corresponding to approximately 49.97 percent of the shares offered, were subscribed for with subscription rights. In addition, applications for subscription of 20,573,942 B-shares without subscription rights have been received, corresponding to approximately 21.14 percent of the shares offered. In total, subscriptions with and without subscription rights correspond to approximately 71.11 percent of the shares offered in the Rights Issue. B-shares that have not been subscribed for with or without subscription rights shall be allocated to HDF in its capacity as guarantor in the Rights Issue, totalling 28,111,851 B-shares, corresponding to approximately 28.89 percent of the shares offered. Since HDF’s investment in the Rights Issue, including shares that HDF shall receive as guarantee commission, entails that HDF will exceed the relevant threshold under the Swedish Act (2023:560) on Screening of Foreign Direct Investments (the “FDI Act“), allocation to HDF (including parties related to HDF) in excess of approximately 29.9 percent of the votes in the Company will only be made after the Inspectorate of Strategic Products (“ISP“) has issued a decision approving HDF’s investment or has left HDF’s notification without action. Through the Rights Issue, and assuming that ISP approves HDF’s investment, the Company will receive proceeds of approximately SEK 29.2 million before deduction of costs attributable to the Rights Issue.

Allocation of shares subscribed for without preferential rights (i.e. without subscription rights) in the Rights Issue will be made in accordance with the principles set out in the share issue memorandum prepared in connection with the Rights Issue and published by the Company on 6 October 2026 (the “Share Issue Memorandum“). Notification of allocation of shares subscribed for without subscription rights will be sent by way of a contract note to those who have been allocated shares, and payment shall be made in cash in accordance with the instructions set out in the contract note. Nominee-registered shareholders will receive notification of allocation in accordance with the procedures of their respective nominees.

The last day of trading in paid subscribed shares (BTA) is 28 October 2026. The first day of trading in the new B-shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market is expected to be on or about 3 November 2026.

Changes in share capital, number of shares and dilution
As a result of a fully subscribed Rights Issue, the number of B-shares and votes will increase by 97,303,733. The total number of shares will increase from 291,911,199 to 389,214,932, of which 14,423,973 are A-shares and 374,790,959 are B-shares. The number of votes in the Company amounts to 418,062,878, corresponding to 43,271,919 votes for A-shares and 374,790,959 votes for B-shares. The share capital will increase by SEK 6,486,915.537812, from SEK 19,460,746.613435 to SEK 25,947,662.151247. For existing shareholders who did not participate in the Rights Issue, this entails a dilution of 25.00 percent of the shares and 23.27 percent of the votes in the Company.

As compensation for its guarantee undertaking, HDF will receive a commission of 7,071,112 newly issued B-shares in the Company, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 1.78 percent of the shares and approximately 1.66 percent of the votes in the Company following a fully subscribed Rights Issue.

Although the Company believes that the assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will materialize or that they are accurate. As these assumptions are based on assumptions or estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual result or outcome may, for many different reasons, differ materially from what is stated in the forward-looking statements.

Information to distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained in: (a) Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II“); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) national implementing measures (together, the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements“), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the offered shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such securities are: (i) compatible with a target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels permitted by MiFID II (the “Target Market Assessment“).

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Company’s shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Company’s shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Company’s shares is suitable only for investors who do not require guaranteed income or capital protection and who (either alone or together with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and have sufficient resources to bear any losses that may result from such an investment. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any other requirements relating to contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in connection with the Rights Issue.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, purchase or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Company’s shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Company’s shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
