The Independent Bid Committee of BuildData Group AB obtains a fairness opinion

On 24 July 2023, Goldcup 33244 AB (the “Offeror”) announced a public offer of SEK 3.53 in cash per share to the shareholders of BuildData Group AB (“BuildData”) (the “Offer”). The Independent Bid Committee has obtained a fairness opinion regarding the Offer. According to the fairness opinion, which is subject to the assumptions and considerations set out therein, the Offer does reflect a fair valuation of the Company.

An offer document is expected to be published by the Offeror on or around 23 August 2023. See also https://goldcup33244.se. The acceptance period for the Offer is expected to end on or around 21 September 2023.

The independent bid committee of BuildData consists of Melanie Dawson, member of the board of directors of BuildData (the “Independent Bid Committee”). The Independent Bid Committee has engaged Eversheds Sutherland as legal advisor in connection with the Offer.

The Independent Bid Committee is not composed of a sufficient number of directors to constitute a quorum of the board of directors. Therefore, the Board will not issue a statement regarding the Offer pursuant to Section II.19 of the Takeover Rules.

Fairness opinion

The Independent Bid Committee has appointed Pareto Securities AB to issue an independent fairness opinion in accordance with the Takeover Rules. The fairness opinion is attached to this press release and is subject to the assumptions and considerations set out therein. According to the fairness opinion, Pareto Securities AB is of the opinion that the Offer does reflect the current underlying value in the BuildData and, therefore, a fair valuation of the Company. Pareto Securities AB will receive a fee for the assignment regarding the fairness opinion. The fee is independent of the conclusion of the Opinion and no part of the fee is contingent upon or related to the size of the consideration in the Offer, the acceptance level of the Offer or whether the Offer is completed or not.

Proposed wording

§ 10 Collection of proxies and postal voting

The Board of Directors may collect proxies pursuant to the procedure stated in Chapter 7, Section 4, second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act. The Board of Directors may decide before a general meeting that the shareholders shall be able to exercise their voting rights by post before the general meeting pursuant to the procedure stated in Chapter 7, Section 4 a of the Swedish Companies Act.

The above proposal for a new wording of the articles of association also entails a change in the numbering as a result of the introduction of a new paragraph 10.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item 10 requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the Meeting.

Item 11 – Resolution on (a) implementation of an incentive program by way of (b) directed issue of warrants and (c) approval of transfer of warrants (“Incentive program 2022/2026A”)
(a) Implementation of an incentive program
1. The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting resolves to implement a share-related incentive program for certain employees in the Company’s subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) on the principal terms and conditions below, by way of an issue of warrants directed to the Company’s subsidiary Zutec Inc. (Ireland) Limited and approval of the transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary to certain employees (the “Incentive program 2022/2026A”). This proposal is presented in order to strengthen the organization and to motivate key individuals to create shareholder value. The Board of Directors has made the assessment that these objectives are in line with all shareholders’ interests.

2. The Incentive program 2022/2026A comprises senior management and other employees of the Subsidiary (the “Participants”) and is based on warrants issued by the Company. Directors of the Company nor its Subsidiary will be allowed to participate. The incentive program will include approximately 76 Participants in total (subject to inclusion of new recruitments). The warrants are to be allocated among the employees.

3. Allotted warrants are vested for a period of three years, i.e., one-third each year.
4. Vesting requires that the Participant is still employed by the Subsidiary and has not terminated the employment on the day when the respective vesting takes place. In the event that Participants cease to be employed or terminate their employment with the Subsidiary before a vesting day, already earned warrants may be exercised at the ordinary time for exercise as described below, but further vesting will not take place.
5. The warrants are granted free of charge.

6. Participants can exercise allotted and vested warrants during the period from and including 1 January 2026 until and including 31 March 2026.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item 12 requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the Meeting.

Item 13 – Resolution on an offer to repurchase warrants (closely associated transaction)
For the purpose of reducing potential dilution of the Company’s shares, the Board of Directors has investigated the possibility for a repurchase of warrants issued in May 2020 with an exercise period from 1 September 2020 to 31 December 2025 (the “Warrants”). One holder of Warrants, CEO Gustave Geisendorf (the “Holder”), has informed the Company that he wishes to participate in the offer by selling 2,494,533 Warrants (the “Transaction”). According to Chapter 16 a Section 7 of the Swedish Companies Act, material transactions with related parties must be approved by a general meeting. The Board of Directors hereby submits a proposal for a decision on the Transaction and a report pursuant to Chapter 16 a Section 7 of the Swedish Companies Act.
It is proposed that the Holder shall be given the opportunity to transfer Warrants to the Company instead of having to exercise these for subscription with the subsequent sale of shares. The proposal only concerns the settlement of the Warrants and does not entail any changes to the terms of the Warrants. The proposal (i) is cost neutral for the Company’s shareholders compared to if the Warrants are to be settled by issuing new shares, which after the issuance would be sold by the Holder, (ii) does not entail any additional tax costs for the Company, (iii) does not entail any transaction fees for the Company, and (iv) is administratively more feasible to manage by the Company and the Holder. In addition, the dilutive effect of some of the Warrants being repurchased instead of being used to subscribe for shares will be reduced.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Company shall repurchase 2,494,533 Warrants from the Holder on market terms at a preliminary valuation of SEK 2.50 per Warrant. The final valuation shall be based on a Black & Scholes valuation of the Warrants by a third party will be available no later than two weeks prior to the Meeting. If the Holder was to accept the offer, the consideration payable under the offer would amount to approximately SEK 6,236,332 (based on the preliminary Black & Scholes valuation). The offer is conditional upon the Holder reinvesting all of the repurchase consideration in shares of the Company through the exercise of the Holder’s remaining 5,470,467 Warrants. For the avoidance of doubt, after the repurchase of the Warrants and subsequent exercise of the remaining Warrants, the Holder will have no Warrants and also receives no cash proceeds.
A valid resolution pursuant to this item 13 requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing more than half (1/2) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the Meeting, whereby any shares held by Gustave Geisendorf or related parties shall not be taken into account.

Item 14 – Resolution to cancel outstanding warrants

The Board of Directors proposes to cancel outstanding warrants as follows:

⦁ 1,464,200 warrants issued but not transferred under the Company’s existing incentive schemes, and

⦁ Warrants repurchased in accordance with item 13 above.

Item 15 – Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on issue of shares, warrants and convertibles
It is proposed that the Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve – at one or several occasions and for the time period until the next annual general meeting – to increase the Company’s share capital by new share issues and to issue warrants and convertibles, to the extent possible from time to time according to the Company’s articles of association.

New share issues, as well as issues of warrants and convertibles, may be made with or without deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions for contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions in accordance with Chapter 2 Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. Pursuant to Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, the Board of Directors may not by virtue of this authorization resolve on resolve on issues to directors and/or employees in the Company or its subsidiaries.

The purpose of the authorization is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and the acting scope of the Board of Directors. Should the Board of Directors resolve on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason shall be to enable the external raising of capital (through new owners of strategic importance for the Company or otherwise) for the financing of the Company’s business, commercialization and development of the Company’s products and intellectual property rights and/or acquisitions of other companies or businesses.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item 15 requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the Meeting.

Item 16 – Resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to undertake minor adjustments of the resolutions
The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the Board of Directors, the CEO or a person otherwise designated by the Board, to undertake such minor adjustments and clarifications of the decisions made at the annual general meeting to the extent required for registration of the resolutions.
