Astrocast: Issuance of convertible loans

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, February 15, 2023 – Astrocast

On 24 November 2022, Astrocast SA ("Astrocast" or the "Company") announced that the Company has funded requirements for existing operations through convertible notes to existing investors. The Company has now negotiated and entered into additional convertible loan agreements with existing long-term investors regarding the issuance of convertible loans with a total principal amount of approx. 1.6 MCHF (approx. 17.6 MNOK).

Following the issue, the Company has issued convertible loans for a total of approx. 7.4 MCHF (approx. 81.3 MNOK) (the "Convertible Loans"). The principal plus any interest can be converted into shares in the Company, at a premium to market price at issue date. As of this date, no amount of the Convertible Loans has been converted into shares in the Company and the Convertible Loans remains outstanding in full.

The Convertible Loan agreements are subject to customary terms and conditions, including inter alia with respect to adjustments for subsequent issues, qualified equity issues or financing and other.

Issuance of the Convertible Loans implies a deviation from the existing shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe for financial instruments. The board of directors has carefully considered such deviation and has resolved that the issuance is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has among other things considered the terms of the Convertible Loans, the possibility to raise funds in an expedient and flexible manner, the fact that such terms were offered by third party and therefore could be considered entered at arm's length and the necessity for the Company to ensure financing in line with its strategy. The board of directors of the Company has decided to re-assess the question of the pre-emptive rights at the end of the debt financing.

The liquidity for the Company remains tight as the Company is continuing to assess strategic alternatives for strengthening its financial position on a long-term basis. The Company is in ongoing dialogue with existing and potential new partners to secure financing of the Company's further operations. Inter alia through the Convertible Loans, the Company is experiencing strong support from its current investor base and is continuing operations in line with its communicated strategy.
