■ Investment levels in EQT key funds as of 14 July 2023, were 20-25% in EQT X, 15-20% in EQT Infrastructure VI and 25-30% in BPEA VIII
The first half of 2023 has been all about execution. Having completed the combination with BPEA, EQT entered the year focused on maximizing the potential of our global active ownership platform. Whilst we are faced with continued market uncertainties and a slower fundraising market, EQT has seized investment opportunities globally and secured strong client commitments to our latest generation of flagship funds. We have also executed on our long-term ambition to offer strategies for individual investors.
In the second quarter of 2023, we launched EQT Nexus, our first strategy for individual investors that provides access to the same distinct investment approach that EQT's institutional clients have benefited from for nearly thirty years. The launch is part of a strategic priority to grow and, over time, scale EQT's efforts across Private Wealth. Whilst the Private Wealth segment represents a USD 135 trillion capital pool, today, just two percent of global allocations to private markets come from Private Wealth. The Private Wealth segment's allocations to private markets are expected to grow by 12 percent annually over the next decade.
Increasingly, EQT is able to offer strategies for a broader range of clients. While EQT Nexus is focused on individuals, we have for long offered various strategies for institutional and high-net-worth clients. These stretch across private equity, infrastructure and real estate and are active in countries representing more than 80% of global GDP. Over the past three decades, we have consistently shown our ability to attract these clients and raise larger funds. Today, we are the third largest firm in private equity¹, the fifth in infrastructure² and the tenth in real estate³ globally, by capital raised over the last five years.
Interest in EQT's latest generation of funds remains solid, and we expect to meet the EUR 20bn fundraising targets for each of EQT X and EQT Infrastructure VI. EQT Infrastructure VI held its first close, and with approximately EUR 11bn committed,
more than half of its target. EQT X has more than EUR 18bn committed, more than 90 percent of its target. However, fundraising takes longer to complete compared to the previous cycle. Notwithstanding that our latest flagship funds are materially larger than their predecessors, clients are requiring more time to complete commitments in the current environment, and we are also providing time for Private Wealth channels.
Our industry is set for long term growth, with the market for actively managed alternative assets expected to double by 2030, and double again by 2040⁴. We believe EQT is well-positioned to outpace this growth over time as our clients continue to entrust EQT with their capital, recognizing our ability to execute on thematic investment opportunities on a global scale, actively own and drive fundamental value in our portfolio, and deliver strong and resilient returns across cycles.
Regardless of whether EQT's clients are individuals or institutions, the importance of execution, performance and resilience remains unchanged. Across the EQT funds' portfolio companies, we have adapted to normalizing interest rates, be it by extending maturities or in some cases enhancing focus on cash and profitability. We have strengthened capital structures in certain portfolio companies to retain a strategic focus on investments or consolidation. We are continuously adapting to changes in the macro and operating environment, always with a view to future-proof our companies and assets.

On the investment side, EQT's ability to execute during periods of market uncertainty is illustrated by the pick-up in activity during the first half of the year, with several deals across EQT Infrastructure, EQT Private Equity and BPEA EQT, including Radius Global Infrastructure, SK Shieldus, and HDFC Credila. We also announced certain exits including Ellab, Blume, and a partial monetisation of Beijer Ref, and we expect to make further realizations in the second half of the year. Having combined with BPEA, we further enhan ced our approach to realizations and established a Global Capital Markets team, in view of using a broader toolbox for realizing assets and enabling longer term ownership.
We remain focused on building on the benefits of our recent combinations. Since listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm in 2019, EQT has completed five combinations that strengthen our presence in priority markets, such as Asian private equity and global real estate. We believe the industry is on a long-term path to consolidation, as we have seen in other professional services industries. As an industry matures, two company ar chetypes emerge. On one side, there are global players that benefit from cross-border knowledge sharing and the ability to cater to a diverse set of client needs, such as EQT. On the other, there are niche specialists or local firms. While EQT's current priority is to optimize within the existing platform, we will evaluate future growth opportunities, always keeping culture and performance at the core.
Looking ahead, EQT funds have substantial dry powder available. We are thematic investors, meaning we invest behind long-term global trends such as the rise of cloud, aging populations, and the energy transition. To further our commitment in this area, we have hired Francesco Starace as a Partner in the EQT Infrastructure Advisory Team, who joins from his position as CEO and General Manager of Enel, one of the world's largest energy utility companies and a leader in the sustainable energy transition. I am delighted
that EQT is able to attract world-recognized thought leaders such as Francesco.
As the sources of capital broaden and the industry conso lidates, private markets are evolving and so does EQT, working to always stay one step ahead of the curve. In doing so, we aim to deliver what has always been central to our approach – returns for our clients in a responsible manner.

FAUM was EUR 71bn as of 30 June 2023 (EUR 37bn), partly driven by the combination with BPEA, adding EUR 22bn as of closing in October 2022. The gross inflows of EUR 5bn during the first half of 2023 were primarily related to commitments in EQT X. Fundraising continued for EQT X and EQT Future.
EQT VII current Gross MOIC increased to 2.7x during H1 2023 from 2.6x and EQT VIII current Gross MOIC decreased from 2.3x to 2.2x. EQT IX Gross MOIC increased to 1.4x and EQT X increased to 1.1x.
BPEA VII remained at 2.0x and BPEA VIII increased to 1.3x from 1.2x.
Expected value creation (Gross MOIC) remained "On plan" in EQT IX, BPEA VIII and EQT X, which means an expected
Gross MOIC between 2.0-2.5x. EQT VII, BPEA VII and EQT VIII continued to develop "Above plan", which means an expected gross MOIC above 2.5x.
FTE+ at the end of the period amounted to 492 (334). The increase in FTE+ was primarily driven by the combination with BPEA, contributing with ~130 FTE+ to the Private Capital segment. The additional recruitments were primarily within EQT Private Equity.
Adjusted revenue amounted to EUR 588m in H1 2023, corresponding to an increase of 115% compared to EUR 274m in H1 2022. The increase in management fees during the period relates primarily to EQT X and the combination with BPEA. The carried interest in the period mainly relates to BPEA VII and EQT VII.
Gross segment result increased to EUR 424m (EUR 181m).

Total investments made by the EQT funds in Real Assets amounted to EUR 6bn (EUR 3bn). Investments include Radius Global Infrastructure and Tion Renewables (EQT Active Core Infrastructure), LazerLogistics, SK Shieldus and Wind Tre (EQT Infrastructure VI).
Total gross fund exits made by the EQT funds amounted to EUR 0bn (EUR 2bn), notably Blume (EQT Infrastructure II and EQT Infrastructure III).
FAUM increased during the period to EUR 55bn (EUR 40bn). This was primarily driven by closed out commitments in EQT Infrastructure VI, fundraising in EQT Exeter, and investments by EQT Active Core Infrastructure.
Fundraising continued for EQT Infrastructure VI, EQT Active Core Infrastructure, EQT Exeter US Multifamily Value II, and EQT Exeter EU Industrial Core-Plus II. Fundraising was completed for EQT Exeter US Industrial Value VI with fee-generating commitments of USD 4.9bn.
EQT Infrastructure III current Gross MOIC remained at 2.7x during H1 2023 and EQT Infrastructure IV current Gross MOIC increased to 1.6x from 1.5x during H1 2023. EQT Infrastructure V increased to 1.3x from 1.2x during the period. EQT Infrastructure VI remained flat at 1.0x.
Expected value creation (Gross MOIC) remains "Above plan" in EQT Infrastructure III, which means an expected Gross MOIC above 2.2x. EQT Infrastructure IV, EQT Infrastructure V and EQT Infrastructure VI continue to develop "On plan",
which means that expected gross MOIC is between 1.7x-2.2x.
Valuations in EQT Exeter funds, which were lowered in 2022, remained relatively flat during H1 2023 as occupancy remains high and rent levels are supportive, primarily in industrial / logistics. EQT Exeter's FAUM was EUR 22bn at the end of the period. EQT Exeter had EUR 12bn of dry powder available, including approximately EUR 4bn of commitments which become part of EQT's FAUM when invested.
FTE+ at the end of the period increased to 604 (537). The increase was partly driven by the BPEA Real Estate team's inclusion in EQT Exeter APAC, as well as recruitments across the EQT Exeter team. In addition, EQT Infrastructure continued to recruit in preparation for EQT Infrastructure VI with recruitments in North America and APAC.
Adjusted revenue amounted to EUR 416m, corresponding to a decrease of 8%, compared to EUR 451m in H1 2022. Management fees increased with 21% from EUR 302m to EUR 365m, driven by the activation of EQT Infrastructure VI. The decrease in adjusted revenues mainly relates to lower carried interest. The carried interest in the period mainly relates to EQT Infrastructure III.
Gross segment result decreased to EUR 297m (EUR 358m).

Central consists of EQT AB Group Management, Client Relations and Capital Raising, Fund Operations, EQT Digital and other Specialist teams such as HR and Group Finance
FTE+ at the end of the period increased to 718 (600). The increase in FTE+ year-over-year was largely driven by the combination with BPEA and the inclusion of BPEA's Central teams into EQT Central. EQT continued to maintain a restrictive approach to hiring during H1 2023, with hires mainly in Client Relations and Capital Raising, including Private Wealth. Hiring within Central is expected to be limited in 2023. During the period, EQT continued to implement initiatives to further improve the end-to-end efficiency and scalability of the operating platform.
The gross segment result amounted to EUR -166m (EUR -126m). The result reflects an increased number of FTE+, mainly in 2022, driving personnel expenses and other operating expenses.

Revenues for the period increased to EUR 1,006m (EUR 733m). Carried interest and investment income amounted to EUR 76m in H1 2023 compared to EUR 163m in H1 2022 and mainly relates to Infrastructure III. Adjusted revenues of EUR 1,019m (EUR 733m) are adjusted by removing the fair value adjustment of acquired contractual rights to carried interest, see Note 1.
Total operating expenses during the period amounted to EUR 710m (EUR 401m), and is mainly driven by the build-out of the organization as well as personnel expenses as a result of performed acquisitions, see Note 7.
EBITDA decreased to EUR 296m (EUR 332m) corresponding to a margin of 29% (45%). Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 555m (EUR 413m) corresponding to a margin of 54% (56%).
Depreciation and amortization amounted to EUR 26m (EUR
20m), primarily related to facility lease agreements. Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to EUR 181m (EUR 45m) and relates to amortization of identified surplus values, see Note 7.
Net financial income and expenses amounted to EUR -17m (EUR -4m). This is primarily comprised of interest expenses of EUR -22m (EUR -11m) relating to the sustainability-linked bonds issued by EQT AB in April 2022 and May 2021 as well as currency translation differences.
Income taxes amounted to EUR -61m (EUR -29m).
Net income for the period from continuing operations decreased to EUR 11m (EUR 234m). Adjustment items affecting net income, including tax effects, amounted to EUR 439m (EUR 129m). Adjusted net income for the period from continuing operations amounted to EUR 450m (EUR 363m).
Earnings per share for continued operations before and after dilution amounted to EUR 0.010 (EUR 0.236) and EUR 0.010 (EUR 0.236), respectively. Adjusted earnings per share for continued operations before and after dilution amounted to EUR 0.379 (EUR 0.366) and EUR 0.379 (EUR 0.366), respectively.
Adjustment items affecting EBITDA in 2023 amounted to EUR 260m and relates to an adjustment of revenues for fair value step-up on acquired contractual right to carried interest, see Note 1, and an adjustment of the part of the considerations subject to lock-up as well as integration costs as a result of performed acquisitions. The part of the considerations subject to lock-up is treated as a personnel expense from an accounting perspective and recorded in the income statement over the lock-up period, see Note 7. Adjustment items affecting EBITDA in 2022 amounted to EUR 81m and relates to an adjustment of the part of the considerations subject to lock-up as well as transaction and integration costs as a
result of performed acquisitions. The part of the considerations subject to lock-up is treated as a personnel expense from an accounting perspective and recorded in the income statement over the lock-up period, see Note 7.
Comments relate to 30 June 2023 (31 December 2022).
Goodwill and Other intangible assets amounted to EUR 5,534m (EUR 5,797m). The decrease of EUR 263m is mainly driven by amortizations and exchange rate differences.
Property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 169m (EUR 171m).
Financial investments increased by EUR 173m to EUR 842m (EUR 668m) primarily driven by increased investments from EQT AB Group into EQT funds.
Current assets amounted to EUR 2,488m (EUR 2,801m). The decrease is mainly driven by the part of the considerations subject to lock-up initially recorded as a prepayment and subsequently recorded as a personnel expense over the lockup period.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 496m (EUR 645m). Net debt amounted to EUR 1,504m (EUR 1,355m in net debt).
Equity decreased to EUR 5,987m (EUR 6,399m). The decrease is mainly explained by the decided dividend.
Non-current liabilities amounted to EUR 2,475m (EUR 2,523m).
Current liabilities amounted to EUR 718m (EUR 681m). The increase is mainly explained by the unpaid part of the dividend.
The parent company's profit before tax amounted to SEK 1,982m (SEK 2,630m). The decrease is mainly explained by a timing effect of dividends from subsidiaries as well as interest expenses relating to the sustainability-linked bonds.
EQT Infrastructure VI, which has a target fund size of EUR 20.0bn, was activated in December 2022. The fund completed its first close, with fee-generating commitments of approximately EUR 11bn to date (July 14). A significant majority of the fund is expected to be raised in 2023, with fundraising set to continue well into 2024. The fund is expected to meet its target fund size.
Fundraising continued for EQT X with fee-generating commitments of more than EUR 18bn to date (July 14). The target fund size is EUR 20.0bn. Fundraising is expected to be materially completed during the summer, with additional time provided for certain commitments, including private wealth platforms. The fund is expected to meet its target fund size.
EQT Exeter Industrial Value Fund VI held its final close at USD 4.9bn of fee-generating commitments, exceeding its target size of USD 4.0bn.
EQT's Annual Shareholders' Meeting on 30 May 2023 resolved to adopt two new incentive programs, the EQT Share Program and the EQT Option Program. The new EQT Share Program and the EQT Option Program replace the old EQT Share Program adopted by the Annual Shareholders' Meeting in 2019. The objective of the programs is to align employees' performance to the interest of the shareholders, based on performance metrics tailored to EQT AB's strategic goals on an annual basis.
The EQT Share Program consists of ordinary shares in EQT AB and the EQT Option Program consists of options which upon exercise entitle the option holders to acquire ordinary shares in EQT AB. Both the EQT Share Program and the EQT Option Program are divided into five separate annual grants, each subject to one-year performance period and a three-year holding period. Depending on the achievement
of certain performance targets during the performance year, an amount may be awarded which after the performance period is settled in the number of shares or options in EQT that corresponds to the amount awarded. With certain limited exceptions, no vesting conditions apply during the three year holding period. For the EQT Option Program, the exercise period commences after the holding period.
Based on the number of shares as of 31 December 2022, the maximum dilution for the EQT Share Program is approximately one percent in total and the maximum dilution for the EQT Option Program is approximately four percent in total. EQT intends, over time, to repurchase shares to offset the dilution related to the EQT Share Program and EQT Option Program.
EQT launched its first semi-liquid fund, EQT Nexus, providing access for individuals to a diversified portfolio of EQT's funds. The fund targets private individuals in Europe and APAC and will invest across EQT's Value-Add strategies (Private Capital and Infrastructure) and selected co-investments. EQT AB has in recent years made balance sheet investments which have now been transferred to EQT Nexus to seed the fund, which starts off with NAV of approximately EUR 350m and previously made fund commitments of approximately EUR 700m. EQT expects a one-off increase in FAUM for EQT AB of approximately EUR 700m within the coming 12 months as non-fee-generating commitments become fee-generating.
In December 2022, the EU member states agreed to implement the OECD model rules for a global minimum tax framework (Pillar Two) for large corporate groups to be effective for financial years commencing on or after 31 December 2023. These model rules set forth a common approach for a global minimum tax at 15 percent on income arising in each jurisdiction where the group operates.
The EQT AB Group is in scope of the Pillar Two Rules and
expects to be impacted by new local tax legislation globally in jurisdictions where the EQT AB Group operates.
The rules are not yet enacted in any jurisdiction that is material to the Group and there is still a lack of guidance with respect to how the rules will be implemented. Whilst there is still uncertainty, our preliminary analysis indicates that EQT's effective tax rate may increase by a few percentage points.
EQT intends to initiate share buyback programs twice a year, corresponding approximately to the expected number of shares to be delivered under its equity- and option incentive programs.
No significant related party transactions have occurred during the period.
There have been no significant changes in pledged assets and contingent liabilities compared to the latest annual report.
The EQT AB Group is exposed to a number of business, strategic, legal, tax, operational and financial risks. The financial risks are related to factors such as credit, liquidity, interest, revaluation and foreign exchange risks, which could lead to financial losses if not managed properly. Financial risks are reported to the CFO on a regular basis to ensure they remain in line with the EQT AB Group's risk profile.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of EQT AB (publ) as of 30 June 2023 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The business segment Private Capital consists of the business lines EQT Ventures, EQT Life Sciences, EQT Growth, EQT Private Equity, BPEA EQT, EQT Future and EQT Public Value. The business segment Real Assets consists of the business lines EQT Value-Add Infrastructure, EQT Active Core Infrastructure and EQT Exeter.
The CEO assesses the operating segments based on the line items presented below, primarily on revenue and Gross segment results. Segment revenues have been adjusted by removing the fair value adjustment of acquired contractual rights to carried interest. Accordingly, the acquired contractual right to carried interest reflects the sellers carrying amount adjusted to EQT AB Group's accounting policies, i.e. the accrued income excluding the fair value uplift made at the acquisition date in the consolidated accounts of EQT AB Group. The difference between the carrying amount and fair value of accrued carried interest is primarily due to the constraint requirements of IFRS 15 of variable performance-based income reflected through the application of the Group's prudent revenue recognition model for carried interest. Expenses directly incurred by each respective business
segment are included in the Gross segment result, whereas items reported under Central have not been allocated to any business segment. Central consists of EQT AB Group Management, Client Relations and Capital Raising, Fund Operations, EQT Digital and other specialist teams such as HR and Group Finance.
Reconciliations consist of revenue adjustments (see above) as well as items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability in H1 2022 relate to an adjustment of the part of the considerations subject to lock-up and transaction and integration costs as well as amortization of identified surplus values in relation to performed acquisitions. The part of the considerations subject to lock-up is treated as a personnel expense from an accounting perspective and recorded in the income statement over the lock-up period, see Note 7.

EQT AB Group's business of providing fund management services cannot reliably and fairly be reviewed by geographical areas. EQT AB Group's fund investors may often be located in multiple jurisdictions and the funds through which the fund investors invest are located in a few centers where fund management services are provided, principally Luxembourg.
EQT has commitments of future cash outflows based on signed agreements relating to committed amounts regarding financial investments. At 30 June 2023, the EQT AB Group had remaining commitments to invest in multiple EQT funds and fund related vehicles of a total amount of EUR 566m (EUR 1,057m as of year-end). The commitments are called over time, normally between one to five years following the commitment.
Carried interest is a share of profits that the EQT AB Group receives through its holdings in the Special Limited Partners as variable consideration fully dependent on the performance of the relevant fund. Carried interest is either payable at the end of the life of the fund or paid as installments at the time of realization within each fund, or a combination thereof.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
EQT AB Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
EQT AB Group measures investments in investment programs at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value for these investments at 30 June 2023 was EUR 842m (EUR 668m) and is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data and are therefore classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There has not been any transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
The table below shows a reconciliation of level 3 fair values for financial investments.
| EURm | 30 June 2023 |
31 December 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balance | 668 | 478 |
| Net change in fair value | 17 | 6 |
| Acquisitions | - | 124 |
| Investments | 163 | 87 |
| Divestments | -7 | -26 |
| Balance end of period | 842 | 668 |
Net change in fair value is included in "Carried interest and investment income" in the income statement.
Part of the purchase price in relation to the sale of business segment Credit was variable and dependent on the size of future funds. Depending on the size of the future funds the variable compensation (earn-out) can range between EUR 0 and EUR 50m. EQT AB Group measures the earn-out to fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value at 30 June 2023 amounted to EUR 21m (EUR 21m as of year-end) and is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data and are therefore classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A change in the fair value will be included in "net income for the period from discontinued operations" in the income statement.
From an EQT AB Group perspective, financial investments are normally measured at fair value applying the adjusted net asset values of the investment programs. A reasonable possible change of 10% in the adjusted net asset value would affect the fair value of the investments at 30 June 2023 with EUR 84m (EUR 67m). The effect would be recognized in the income statement.
Although the EQT AB Group believes that its estimates of fair values are appropriate, the use of different methodologies and different unobservable inputs in the underlying investments of investment programs could lead to different measurements of fair value. Due to the number of unobservable input factors used in the valuation of the investment programs' direct investments and their broad range, in particular concerning the earnings multiples, a sensitivity analysis on these underlying unobservable input factors does not result in meaningful outcomes.
As part of the discontinued operations related to Credit, a reasonable possible change of 10% in the size of future funds would not have a material impact on the fair value of the earn-out as of 30 June 2023. The effect would be recognized in net income for the period from discontinued operations.
EQT AB has issued sustainability-linked bonds (classified as an interest-bearing liability in the balance sheet) with fixed coupon rates linked to ESG-related objectives. Fair value as of 30 June 2023 amounts to EUR 1,627m (carrying amount: EUR 2,000m). EQT AB Group's other financial instruments consist mainly of short-term receivables, accounts payable, deposits in commercial banks. The Group considers the carrying amounts of those financial instruments to be reasonable approximations of their fair values.

As announced in EQT's quarterly announcement on 23 January 2020, EQT initiated a review of strategic options for the business segment Credit. Following the review it was decided to divest the business segment Credit and as communicated on 18 June 2020 a signed agreement with Bridgepoint was entered into. As communicated on 26 October 2020 the transaction was completed. Part of the purchase price is variable and dependent on the size of future funds. Depending on the size of the future funds the variable compensation (earnout) can range between EUR 0 and EUR 50m. EQT AB Group measures the earn-out to fair value in the balance sheet, see Note 4. The fair value at 30 June 2023 amounted to EUR 21m (EUR 21m as of year-end). The business segment Credit is reported as a discontinued operations together with the capital gain and costs relating to the transaction.
As of 27 January 2022 EQT completed the acquisition of Bear Logi.

To date, Bear Logi has invested capital based on single asset funding, and will as part of EQT Exeter create a fund-setup within logistics properties similar to EQT Exeter's existing structure in the US and Europe.
Bear Logi generated approximately USD 1m in revenues during 2021. The transaction was not deemed to have a material impact on EQT AB's financial numbers and did not add any fee-generating assets under management to EQT AB at closing.
Note 6 discontinued operations Total upfront consideration amounted to USD 8.7m with a right to potential earn-out payments if certain revenue and fundraising targets are met.

EQT acquired 100 percent of the LSP management company and 20 percent of the right to carried interest in selected LSP funds. In addition, EQT AB will be entitled to 35 percent of the carried interest of future funds, which is in line with existing EQT practice.
The total consideration was EUR 366m, comprising new EQT AB publicly traded shares EUR 228m (corresponding to 7,548,384 shares) and cash EUR 112m, a liability taken over of EUR 24m and potential earn-out of EUR 2m. Of the total consideration, EUR 74m in shares to management are subject to vesting conditions under a "Leaver put option
clause", meaning that if the management person becomes a bad leaver, such as voluntary resignation or termination for cause, the person will need to return the unvested shares to EQT for nil consideration. The Leaver put option arrangement have from an accounting perspective been separated from the business combination. The consideration has initially been accounted for as a prepayment and will be recorded as employee expenses over the vesting period of 2-4 years. The purchase consideration for the business combination was EUR 292m.
The transaction was subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust, regulatory and certain fund investor clearances.
The fair value of the shares is calculated with reference to the quoted price of the EQT AB shares at the date of acquisition, which was SEK 320.90 per share.
