total gross proceeds of up to 8,750,000. The Subsequent Offering will be

Placement, (ii) who were not actively involved in the presounding for the

Private Placement and (iii) who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such

will be granted non-tradable subscription rights to subscribe for, and, upon

subscription, be allocated new shares. (the "Eligible Shareholders").

Eligible Shareholders are being granted non-tradable subscription rights (the

"Subscription Rights") that, subject to applicable law, provide preferential

rights to subscribe for and be allocated Offer Shares in the Subsequent

Offering. Eligible Shareholders will be granted 0.13 Subscription Rights for

each Share held as recorded on the Record Date. Each Subscription Right will

give the right to subscribe for one (1) Offer Share. Over-subscription by

Eligible Shareholders having received subscription rights will be permitted;

however, there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such

subscriptions. Subscription without subscription rights will not be permitted,

however so that shareholders that participated in the Private Placement will be

allowed to subscribe for and be allocated Offer Shares to the extent the Offer

Shares are not fully subscribed by Eligible Shareholders.

The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering commences on 6 February 2023

at 09:00 CET and ends on 13 February 2023 at 16:30 CET (the "Subscription

of the Company and the material risk factors associated with an investment in

the Offer Shares.

receive a complete and duly signed subscription form or a subscription through

VPS' solution for share subscription within the end of the Subscription Period.

expiry of the Subscription Period will have no value and will lapse without

compensation to the holder.
