| SECTION 2 – KEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUER | |||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2.1 | Who is the issuer of the securities? | Brain+ A/S is a Danish public limited liability company governed by Danish law including but not limited to the Danish Companies Act (no. 1451 of 09/11 2022) (Dk. "Selskabsloven"). Brain+ A/S is a pioneer in the development of Digital Therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease. The clinical target of the Company is to counteract cognitive decline, the primary and most debilitating symptom of Alzheimer's. The Company's mission is to offer effective Alzheimer's treatments to everyone in need, as Digital Therapeutics. Brain+ A/S is admitted to trading on First North and has its office in Copenhagen Denmark. The Board of Directors has its registered office in Copenhagen, Denmark and Kim Baden-Kristensen is the Company's CEO since 2012. | |
| The following table shows the Company's major shareholders at the date of the Prospectus. There are, to the Board of Directors' knowledge, no shareholder agreements, or other agreements between the Company's shareholders, which seek to have joint influence over the Company. The Company is not directly or indirectly controlled by any shareholders. | |||
| Shareholder | Number of shares Percentage of votes and capital (%) | ||

| 1CEO and Co-founder of the Company, the shares are held through the wholly owned company Baden-K Holding ApS and privately. | |||
| 2Member of the Board. The shares are partially held privately and partially through 4T Impact ApS. | |||
| CEO and Co-founder, Kim Baden-Kristensen, has entered into agreements to sell all shares in Brain+ held by his holding company, Baden-K Holding ApS, to new investors who are taking on the most risk in terms of commitments into the Rights Issue in the form of pre-paid pre-subscriptions and Tranche 2 guarantees. This has been deemed a necessity to secure the commitments. An additional, but secondary, consideration is to protect the future equity development of Brain+ A/S, due to the Danish 'Lagerbeskatning' which to Kim will come into full effect due to this Rights Issue. 'Lagerbeskatning' is effectively a tax on unrealized share gains, which a shareholder is then compelled to finance, often by selling shares to cover the tax expense. Baden-K Holding ApS has elected to sell all its 2,056,530 Brain+ shares for DKK 0.01 per share at arm's length to third parties subscribing in the Issue, including to Board member Lars Terney who has entered into agreement to purchase 250,000 shares. The sale of Baden-K Holding |
Rights Issue | 5 | Brain+ A/S
Rights Issue | 6 | Brain+ A/S
| ApS shares has been mediated by the Company's financial advisers Gemstone Capital and Sedermera Corporate Finance as a bonus to investors incoming with commitments in the Rights Issue. Summary of the acquirer of Baden-K Holding's shares can be found on page 72. None of the buyers except for Lars Terney will own more than five percent of the outstanding shares in Brain+ as a result of the purchase of shares from Baden-K Holding ApS. Thus, Baden-K Holding ApS will no longer hold any shares in Brain+. Kim retains all his 573,886 privately held shares and has committed to subscribe for additionally 60,000 more shares in the Issue. Kim's private shareholding corresponds to approximately 3.7 percent of the shares in the Company. The share transfer will take place the latest of one (1) business day before the Subscription Period commence and 1 May 2023. This to ensure that the transfer takes place after the record date for receiving pre-emptive rights. Baden-K Holding will then be given to Brain+ financial advisers to distribute to investors committing to subscribe in the Rights Issue. | |||||

| 2.3 | What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer? | Market adoption and revenue | |||
| The level of acceptance and usage of digital therapeutics are subject to various factors, including the health care system, prescribers and patients and their readiness or lack of same to embrace digital therapeutics. Brain+ also works in disease areas of predominantly elderly and not digitally savvy patients and caregivers, which could pose challenges in using and understanding the concept of a digital therapy. These factors could result in a slower than expected market uptake and achievement of target sales. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be high. | |||||
| Financing | |||||
| Since the start of operations, Brain+ has had limited revenue and is still in a development phase with ongoing R&D projects. The Company launched its first product in November 2022 and realized its first sale in December the same year. Despite commercial launch of the first dementia product, sufficient market adoption to generate revenues that covers the Company's operating cost is subject to risk. There is a risk, that in the future, the Company will not have sufficient revenue or positive cash flows to finance its operating cost and investments. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient financing, the Company's ability to invest to maintain the competitiveness of its offering may be |

| affected, as well as its financial position. Factors such as success of development of products, commercial acceptance by the market, obtaining of grants and possible strategic investments may affect the Company's future capital needs. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be high. | ||

| SECTION 3 - KEY INFORMATION ON THE SECURITIES | ||
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.1 | What are the main features of the securities? | Type, category, and ISIN of the securities |
| Brain+ shares with ISIN code DK0061670205 are traded at Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark ("First North"), a multilateral trading facility platform ("MTF"). The ticker for the share is BRAINP. |
There is only one class of shares in the Company.
Currency, nominal value, and number of securities
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company's registered share capital amounts to DKK 1,572,051.80 divided among 15,720,518 shares. The shares are denominated in DKK. The nominal value of each share is DKK 0.10 and the shares have been paid in full. The currency of the Offering is DKK.
Rights attached to the securities
The New Shares will have identical rights and be of the same seniority as the existing shares. These include voting rights, the right to dividends, the right to participate in the proceeds in case of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, and pre-emptive rights in connection with the issue of new warrants, convertible bonds, and shares by cash contribution in case such issue is decided by the general meeting or by the board with valid authorization from the general meeting. Brain+ has one class of shares. All shares are of the same seniority in the Company's capital structure in case of insolvency. The New Shares as well as the existing shares are subordinated the Company's liabilities. This means that if Brain+ is subject to any liquidation or bankruptcy, the shareholders normally receive payment after all creditors have been paid in full.
Brain+ is a growth company and has not since its formation paid dividends to the shareholders. The Board of Directors intends to finance development, operations, and growth with a combination of the possible profit and possible future equity issues and or debt financing. In the event of a dividend, all shares in the Company carry equal right to dividends. The New Shares are eligible for dividends as of the date of registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority, which is expected to take place around 2 June 2023. Further, the right to dividends applies to investors who are registered as shareholders in Brain+ on the record day applicable for the distribution of dividend. There are no existing restrictions on dividends or special procedures for shareholders resident outside of Denmark, and payment of any distributed dividends is intended to take place via VP Securities in the same manner as for shareholders residing in Denmark. Dividends accrue to Brain+ if it has not been claimed by the shareholder within three years from the time of the declaration of the dividends. Dividends go to Brain+ after the limitation. |
| 3.2 | Transferability of the securities | There are no restrictions in the transferability of the shares. |
| 3.3 | Where will the securities be traded? | Brain+ shares are traded on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark a growth market for small and medium-sized companies. The New Shares and the New Warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3 will also be admitted to trading on First North. Securities listed on First North are not subject to as extensive regulations as the securities that are admitted to trading on regulated markets. |
| 3.4 | Is there a guarantee attached to the securities? | The securities are not covered by guarantees. |
| 3.5 | What are the key risks that are specific to the securities? | Share price development, volatility and liquidity
There are no guarantees that the share price in the Company will have a positive development and there is a risk that investors in the Company will not, in whole or in part, get back the invested capital. Brain+’s share price has historically been volatile and may continue to fluctuate as a result of Company specific events and external factors. The Company’s share price can be negatively affected by various factors such as variations in Brain+ financial performance, increase(s) in interest rates, political decision(s), fluctuation in exchange rates and a general worsening of the economy.
The share price may be affected by factors that Brain+ cannot, wholly or partly, influence. A potential investment in Brain+ should hence be preceded by a careful analysis of the Company, its competitors, general information about the industry, the general economic situation, and other relevant information. There is a risk that the Company’s shares cannot be sold for a price acceptable to the holders, or at all, at any time. It is the Company’s assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be high. |

SECTION 4 – KEY INFORMATION ON THE OFFERING OF SHARES TO THE PUBLIC
| 4.1 | Under which conditions and timetable can I invest in this security? | The Offer
On 24 April 2023, the Board of Directors resolved, with authorization in the Articles of Association, adopted by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 13 April 2023, to carry out a Rights Issue of units. Through the Initial Issue, the Company's share capital can increase by a maximum of DKK 3,144,103.60 and a maximum of 31,441,036 New Shares, each with a nominal value of DKK 0.10. In addition, a maximum 31,441,036 warrants of series TO 2 and 31,441,036 warrants of series TO 3 can be issued through the Rights Issue.
The Rights Issue is conducted with pre-emptive unit rights for existing shareholders. The proceeds from the Initial Issue amount to a maximum of approximately DKK 15.7 million assuming that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed and before deduction of cost related to the Rights Issue. If the Rights Issue is fully subscribed and all the New Warrants subsequently are exercised at the highest exercise price, the Company can receive additionally approximately DKK 25.2 million and 37.7 million respectively from the exercise of TO 2 and TO 3 warrants. The maximum gross proceeds from the Offering are approximately DKK 78.6 million.
Subscription price in Rights Issue
The subscription price is DKK 1.00 per unit, which corresponds to DKK 0.50 per share (“Subscription Price”). Each unit consists of two (2) New Shares, two (2) New Warrants of series TO 2 and two (2) New Warrant of series TO 3. Warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3 are issued free of charge. A brokerage fee may occur when subscribing for units.
Subscription period
Subscription of New Units will take place within the period from 10 May 2023 until 25 May 2023.
Pre-emptive right and allocation
Shareholders in the Company, which are registered with VP Securities on 9 May 2023 at 5:59 p.m. CET be allocated one (1) pre-emptive unit right for each of the share held.

The pre-emptive unit rights will be admitted to trading at Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark with ISIN code DK0062272282. Shareholders who do not wish to subscribe for units in the Issue, can therefore chose to sell the pre-emptive unit rights to other potential subscribers in the Issue. Trading in the pre-emptive unit rights will commence on 8 May 2023 at 9:00 a.m. CET and close on 23 May 2023 at 5:00 p.m. CET. Subscription Period for New Units commences 10 May 2023 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 25 May 2023 at 5:00 p.m. CET. Any pre-emptive unit rights not exercised during the Subscription Period will lapse with no value, and the holder of such pre-emptive rights will not be entitled to compensation. Once a holder of a pre-emptive unit right has exercised such pre-emptive right to subscribe for New Units, such subscription cannot be withdrawn or modified by the holder.
The pre-emptive unit rights, the temporary units, and the shares and warrants following the automatic conversion of temporary units, will be delivered in book-entry form to accounts with VP Securities.
New Warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3

In the event that the Company's Board of Directors decides to exercise the over-allotment issue, it will be communicated as soon as possible after the Rights Issue. If activated, the over-allotment is expected to be registered with the Danish Business Authority at the same time as the Rights Issue, and trading in the additional shares and warrants due to the over-allotment issue is expected to commence on 7 June 2023. Any shares and warrants from the over-allotment will be issued at the same time as the New Shares and New Warrants in the Rights Issue.
Valuation
Brain+ pre-money valuation (in the Rights Issue) amounts to approximately DKK 7.9 million.
Pre-subscription- and guarantee commitments
The Company received, in March 2023, written commitments to directly subscribe for New Units ("pre-subscription") and commitments to subscribe for any remaining New Units not subscribed for by current shareholders and the general public ("guarantee commitment"). The commitments guarantee a minimum subscription in the Rights Issue of approx. DKK 13.40 million, corresponding to approx. 85 percent of the Rights Issue. Of the commitments, approx.

Publication of the outcome of the Rights Issue
The results of the Rights Issue will be communicated in a company announcement expected to be published 31 May 2023, or as soon as possible after the subscription period ends.
Dilution
As at the Prospectus Date, the Company's registered share capital had a nominal value of DKK 1,572,051.80 divided into 15,720,518 existing shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.10. All existing shares are issued and paid in full, and each existing share represents one (1) vote. Upon issue of the New Units, the percentage of ownership of the existing shareholders may be reduced. If the existing shareholders refrain from exercising the allocated pre-emptive rights to subscribe for units in the Rights Issue, shareholder's ownership will experience a dilution of up to 66.7 percent if the Initial issue is fully subscribed. Shareholders who refrain from participate in the Offer (Initial Issue and subsequent warrant exercises) completely can have their ownership diluted by up to 85.7 percent if all steps of the Offering are fully subscribed.
Shareholders can partially protect themselves from dilution by either partly exercising the allocated Pre-emptive Rights or selling. The rate of experienced dilution will then be between 0 to 85.7 percent depending on the exercise or sale. Shareholders exercising their pre-emptive rights in full, and subsequently exercise all warrants of series TO 2 and TO3, will not experience any dilution.
If the over-allotment issue is activated in full, an additional of 11,643,088 shares, 11,643,088 warrants of series TO 2 and 11,643,088 warrants of series TO 3 will be issued in addition to New Shares and New Warrants issued through the Rights Issue. As there are no pre-emptive rights for the over-allotment issue, it is not possible for existing shareholders to compensate for the dilution arising of the over-allotment issue.
Costs for the Right Issue
Given that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the costs connected to the Initial Issue amount to approximately DKK 3.7 million, or approximately 24 percent of the proceeds from the Initial part of the Rights Issue whereof approximately DKK 1.7 million refers to compensation to guarantors. If the New Warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3 is fully subscribed to the highest subscription price the costs for the warrant exercise of the New Warrants of TO 2 and TO 3 will amount to approx. DKK 2.0 million and approx. DKK 2.9 million.

Rights Issue | 13 | Brain+ A/S
Motive for the Rights Issue
Background
Brain+ is a pioneer in the development of Digital Therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease. The clinical target of the Company is to counteract cognitive decline, the primary and most debilitating symptom of Alzheimer's. The Company's mission is to offer effective Alzheimer's treatments to everyone in need, as Digital Therapeutics.
Brain+ executed an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") in October 2021 and raised capital for the clinical development of its product line of Digital Therapeutics for Alzheimer's and dementia, with the target to launch its first regulated product in 2024, and to form large strategic partnerships and licensing deals with pharmaceutical players.
Since the IPO Brain+ quickly partnered with Roche Pharmaceuticals in Germany, a leading player in Alzheimer's, to bring its first dementia product to the German market, via its digital daughter company, Rox Health. This partnership and effective operations led to acceleration of the commercial launch of the first dementia product, the CST¹-Therapist Companion, which was introduced on the Danish market in November 2022, more than two years ahead of plan. This acceleration coincided with an increased focus on a quicker path to profitability and de-risking the overall business case. With the first business-to-business sale already secured, and the upcoming market introduction in Germany, Brain+ now has the platform to become a well-established commercial company.
With the proceeds from the IPO the Company hired some of the leading talent within digital therapeutics and Alzheimer's, expanded the board with veteran figures in the industry, including the EVP of R&D at Lundbeck, Johan Luthman, a world leading expert in Alzheimer's disease. The clinical development is on track and the Company has received positive clinical results on the Company's three core technologies.
The way forward
The Company is now concentrating on two main tracks: expanding its commercial activities to reach break-even and developing its product pipeline to support this goal. The Company has three product programs: 1) CST-Therapist Companion, for people with mild-to-moderate dementia, 2) CST-Home Care, for people with mild-to-moderate dementia, and 3) CST-for-MCI, for people with mild cognitive impairment. Market access, regulatory compliance and large-scale reimbursement, is enabled by the Company's clinical program.
Commercial expansion in 3 parts
While Brain+ has a great position (first mover, winning therapeutic standard, strong reputation, unique core technologies) to become a leader in addressing the massive unmet clinical need in Alzheimer's disease, focus for the next years will be to achieve commercial scale and profitability, while keeping clinical development activity sharply focused to support this goal. Therefore, the Company has divided its commercial expansion strategy and value creation strategy into three parts, corresponding to each of the three product programs in its portfolio.
Part 1: (Profitable Core): CST-Therapist Companion
Funding required: approximately DKK 15 million
Brain+ will scale and expand commercialization efforts for its first dementia product, CST-Therapist Companion. This product helps therapists save approximately 80% time on preparation, standardize CST group sessions in high quality and improve consistency of therapeutic delivery. Scaling efforts will continue in Denmark, where the first sale was secured in December 2022. Brain+ aims to introduce the localized product in Germany, the largest European market for Digital therapeutics, in Q2 2023, supported by the Rox Health partnership. Additionally, Brain+ is developing a UK product version, and a general English language version, preparing for introduction in the UK. Finally, a 2nd version of this product is in development with more advanced features and Class 1 Medical Device compliance (EU MDR). A claims trial is
Rights Issue | 14 | Brain+ A/S
¹ Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (read more in Section 'Business Overview')
planned for this product to get health outcomes data to support reimbursement at scale by health care payers and for medical device software certification.
Part 2 (Bringing it home): CST-Home Care
Funding required: approximately DKK 6 million
CST-Home Care will provide people, who have been in basic group training by a municipality or a private clinic, their relatives and home caregivers the option of an extended 'do-it-yourself' use of digital CST at home. This product allows maintaining the cognitive benefits gained from group CST sessions and opens up to 12X larger market potential versus the CST-Therapist Companion product. To support bringing CST-Home Care to the market a claims trial is planned.
Part 3: (Expanding into Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)): CST-for-MCI
Funding required: approximately DKK 6 million
CST-for-MCI targets people in a stage of Alzheimer's disease right before dementia, namely Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). It aims to delay cognitive decline and progression of Alzheimer's disease into dementia stage. MCI is a major unmet need and market opportunity, with an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide living with MCI. Because dementia is the result of neurodegenerative diseases (primarily Alzheimer's which accounts for 60-80% of all dementia) there is possibility for making an even greater long term health impact, if the disease and symptoms can be addressed earlier, in the MCI stage (the second frontier). The MCI segment is a sweet spot for Big Pharma, as many of the Alzheimer's drugs in development are targeting this segment and is thus high potential for collaboration and combination treatments with Brain+ digital therapeutics. To support bringing CST-for-MCI to the market a grant-funded pilot is ongoing and a Proof-of-Concept Study (Phase 2) is planned.
Succeeding with Part 1 alone allows a pathway towards profitability, and Part 2 and 3 both multiply the value creation potential. All three parts, but Part 2 and 3 in particular are expected to make Brain+ and its products highly attractive to pharmaceutical players and can open up large multi-million strategic pharma deals.
To pursue the 3-part plan for commercial expansion, including launch of the CST-Home Care, expansion and scaling in DK, Germany, the United Kingdom, and getting the CST-for-MCI through Proof-of-Concept (Phase 2) Brain+ needs approximately DKK 26* million in additional funding. The Rights Issue and following New Warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3 and grants may fully fund this plan. However, the 3-part plan also allows for flexibility in scenarios where TO 2 and TO 3 do not go as planned. In this case Part 2 and Part 3 of the plan can either be funded by additional sources including pharma partnerships and incremental grants (with which the company has a highly successful track record with over €10 million invested in R&D of its pipeline) or be moved further out in time.
Base case:
Current Offer is expected to cover the need for Part 1+2+3
- Approximately DKK 15 million to enable the company to reach break-even and to realize Part 1.
- Approximately DKK 6 million in addition (DKK 21 million in total) to enable Part 1+2
- Approximately DKK 6 million in addition (DKK 26* million in total) to enable Part 1+2+3
*Difference in sum due to rounding
Best case:
Additional proceeds from the Offer above DKK 26 million in total, will enable additional value creation activities, including additional market entries, accelerated studies of CST-MCI product and Starry Night.
Worst case:
If there is a shortfall in funding, Brain+ can continue to build on its track record of funding via grants (€10m raised to date), fund via strategic partnerships deals, revise cost-structure or even postpone Part 2 and Part 3 and focus on Part 1 only. The 3-Part plan includes reaching a number of commercial and clinical development milestones:

Reasons for the Rights Issue
According to Brain+ assessment, more capital is needed to finance operational advancements in accordance with the Company's business plan. For this reason, Brain+ has decided to resolve on the Rights Issue.
Use of the proceeds
Brain+ is carrying out a Rights Issue of units (shares and free-of-charge warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3), which can provide the Company with a maximum of approx. DKK 78.6 million (if all steps of the transaction are fully subscribed) before deduction of transaction related costs. The proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used to strengthen the Company's capital in order to further develop the Company in according with its strategy and business plan.
The Company's main focus is to expand and increase the commercial activities and traction and maturing the pipeline, which consist of three clinical development and product programs.
1) CST-Therapist Companion, for people with mild-to-moderate dementia,
2) CST-Home Care, for people with mild-to-moderate dementia, and
3) CST-for-MCI, for people with mild cognitive impairment.
The Company receives, if the Initial Rights Issue is fully subscribed, approximately DKK 15.7 million before transaction related cost of approximately DKK 3.7 million. The Company intends to use the approximately DKK 12.0 million in net proceeds from the Initial Rights Issue to finance following activities:
- Clinical program (CST Claims study on first product and pilot study on CCT use in Mild Cognitive Impairment) – approximately 6%
- Development of UK version of the CST - Therapist Companion product, targeting 2024 launch – approximately 8%
- Commercial activities to scale sales of CST-Therapist Companion in Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom through November 2024 – approximately 53%
- Other operating expenses through November 2024 – approximately 33%
Through the exercise of the New Warrants of series TO 2 in October 2023, Brain+ can, if all warrants are exercised to the lowest exercise price, receive a minimum of additionally approx. DKK 6.3 million before transaction related costs. The approx. DKK 5.6 million in net proceeds from the TO 2 exercise in the minimum price scenario are estimated to finance the following activities:
- Clinical program (CST claims study on Cognitive Stimulation Therapy - Home Care product, and CST for MCI proof of Concept Study - approximately 100%
Through the exercise of the New Warrants of series TO 3 in March 2024, Brain+ can, if all warrants are exercised to the lowest exercise price, receive a minimum additionally approximately DKK 9.4 million before transaction related costs. The approximately DKK 8.5 million in net proceeds from the TO 3 exercise in the minimum price scenario are estimated to finance the following activities:
- Clinical program (CST claims study on Cognitive Stimulation Therapy - Home Care product, and CST for MCI proof of Concept Study - approximately 74%
- Commercial activities to scale sales in target markets to reach breakeven – approximately 26%
Commitments in relation to the Rights Issue
In total, approximately 85 percent of the Initial Issue, corresponding to approximately DKK 13.4 million, is agreed upon in writing by pre-subscription and guarantee commitments. Approximately DKK 4.4 million refers to pre-subscription commitments through offset of bridge loan against New Units in the Rights Issue. Approximately DKK 0.4 million of the pre-subscription commitments refers to commitments from Brain+ Board of Directors and management team. Allocation of units to pre-subscriber may take place partially or in full in the over-allotment issue in case the public interest is great in participating in the Rights Issue. Approximately DKK 8.9 million refers to guarantee commitments from external investors.
Out of the total guarantee commitments, approximately DKK 6.3 million (approximately 40 percent of the Rights Issue) are so called "bottom-up" guarantee commitments in which the guarantors commit to subscribe for any remaining units in the Initial Issue, from zero percent subscription up to a subscription rate of 40 percent of the maximum Issue amount ("Tranche 1"). The Tranche 1 guarantee commitments carry an underwriter's fee of 14 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash or 16 percent in New Units of the guaranteed amount to the same terms as in the Rights Issue.
In addition to above Tranche 1 guarantee commitments, Brain+ has secured a second tranche of guarantee commitments of approximately DKK 2.6 (approximately 17 percent of the Initial Issue ("Tranche 2"). Tranche 2 covers subscription rate in the range of 54-71 percent in the Initial Issue. Subscription rate of the Rights Issue below 54 percent will result in full activation of Tranche 2. The Tranche 2 guarantee commitments carry an underwriter's fee of 20 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash.

Executive summary
Brain+ is a pioneer in developing medical software to treat the cognitive symptoms of dementia, and the most common cause of dementia, namely Alzheimer's disease. Together with world-leading experts and institutions, the Company digitize the best-in-class, non-drug dementia therapies, and make them broadly available on standard digital devices - for use both in people's homes and at healthcare clinics. This approach is referred to as Digital Therapeutics or Digital Medicine.
Driven by high quality software programs, Digital Therapeutics - stand alone, or in combination with traditional medicines - help to prevent, manage, and treat medical disorders or diseases. Brain+ technologies and products are being built on a deep understanding of the challenges and needs associated with Alzheimer's and dementia. They are being rigorously tested, scientifically and clinically validated, and regulated as software-as-medical-devices (software-as-treatments). Like traditional medicines, the Company's products will be prescribed by health care professionals and paid for by health insurance or state health care.
The clinical target of the Company is to counteract and prevent cognitive decline, and the mission is to make effective treatments available to everyone in need as digital therapeutics.
Alzheimer's disease and dementia - a global problem
Alzheimer's disease is the underlying pathology responsible for 60-80 percent of all dementia cases. Every third senior in the US dies with dementia (Alzheimer's Association). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people with dementia is expected to triple to 152 million people by 2050. The related, global health care cost has risen to USD 1 trillion per year, and this number is expected to double to USD 2 trillion by 2030, also according to WHO. With an aging population globally, the unmet need for better treatments of dementia is vast and growing year by year. Due to the complexity of the underlying pathology of Alzheimer's, traditional pharmaceuticals for Alzheimer's are scarce, and are insufficient to address this health burden on its own.
Digital therapeutics as clinically relevant treatments
Medical research has discovered that the primary symptom of dementia, which is the decline in cognitive functions, such as memory loss and difficulty concentrating, can be counteracted through cognitively stimulating activities and training. Digital treatments are well positioned to target the specific cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia using proven behavioural interventions and mechanisms that are well suited for being digitally delivered. Digital therapeutics can deliver health outcomes on their own or as a supplement to traditional drugs. Digitally delivered treatments, more popularly known as 'Digital Therapeutics', are on the rise and is fully implemented in a number of health areas.
Technologies and products
Since Brain+ was founded in 2014, the Company developed and launched the first revenue-generating product and has received raised approximately DKK 100 million in funding (of which DKK 66 million were grants). From its inception, Brain+ and its team has worked closely with leading neuroscientists and academia and is currently collaborating with 7 Universities to develop and validate its products. Brain+ has developed three digital technologies for treatment and early detection of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. This includes two treatments technologies: digital Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) and Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT), and one unique cognitive test for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease, Starry Night Cognitive Test. The Company has already received early validation for all its technologies in five clinical trials conducted by partner universities and is continuing its clinical development program with two clinical trials in ongoing innovation projects, two planned clinical studies aiming for regulatory and health care payer data, and multiple smaller pilots in target markets like Germany and the UK. The Company recently (November 2022) launched its first dementia product in Denmark, the CST-Therapist Companion, and has two more products in its product pipeline, the CST Home Care, and the CST for MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment).

Setting new standards within Alzheimer's
The Company has created a solid technology and product base and brand reputation for commercial growth and further R&D, with a clear aim and potential to become the leading digital therapeutic provider within Alzheimer's disease. The success of digital therapeutics has been seen in other disease areas, such as diabetes, cessation of smoking, pain, addictions, and ADHD by digital therapeutics frontrunner companies, such as Omada Health, Click Therapeutics and Hinge Health.. The market for digital diabetes management is 11 billion USD today and is set to grow to 30 billion USD by 2028 (Research & Markets). The addressable market for digital Alzheimer's treatments is estimated at 5 billion USD today, with a potential to grow to 15-20 billion USD by 2035.
Business model and commercial scaling
The primary business model of Brain+ is to bring prescribed and reimbursed digital therapeutics products to the market. This model is comparable to the prescribed regulated pharmaceutical market today. In a reimbursed model, the state, a health insurer or similar type of payer pays per treatment each time a Brain+ digital therapeutics treatment is prescribed or purchased. However, the Company has the advantage of gaining initial commercial traction, revenues, and data collection via direct B2B sales in a Software-as-a-Service model. This model is used by Brain+ in the home market, Denmark, selling to the Danish municipalities. Outside the home market of Denmark, the way to growth is via strategic partnerships with pharma companies, large health systems and medical sales partners. In 2021 the Company partnered with a leading Alzheimer's big-pharma company, Roche, via their German daughter company RoX Health to bring the Company's first dementia product to the German market. In 2022 Brain+ partnered with the German Medtech distributor Coopmed for distribution.
Commercial roadmap
The commercial outlook is promising as the Company reached two key commercial milestones in 2022; the first being is the finalization and launch of its first dementia product, the CST-Therapist Companion, in Denmark in November. This product has received a strong reception from municipal customers, and the second milestone was the first sale to the municipality of Herning in December. More generally Brain+ used 2022 to finalize the first dementia product, and expand the Company's commercial presence, partnerships, and brand awareness in the Danish and German markets. Market introduction in Germany is planned for Q2 of 2023. The next target markets are the UK in 2024 and later the US.
Large strategic deals
With the net proceeds from the Offering, the Company expects to bring the business to cash flow break even. During 2023-2025 the Company expects a number of both commercial and clinical value inflection points, including: Proof of business, new market launches, regulatory and payer grade pivotal trial results for the CST dementia products, clinical pilot study results and validation of the CCT technology for Mild Cognitive Impairment and medical-device-software classification of one to two products. Both the commercial traction and clinical trial results can qualify the Company for large licensing deals with strategic partners in the magnitude of up to DKK 500 million. Ultimately, Brain+ aims to reach the magnitude of strategic licensing deals, already realized by role model companies in the Digital Therapeutic industry, with Click Therapeutics leading the way, boasting its first USD ~500 million deal value in their strategic partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim in 2020, and a second deal of a similar size in 2022.

Technologies and products
Brain+ develops products based on three core technologies. The three core technologies are Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) and the Starry Night Cognitive Test.

COGNITIVE STIMULATION THERAPY
Guided talk therapy facilitating deep thinking and social interaction that stimulates cognition in people living with mild to moderate dementia

COMPUTERIZED COGNITIVE TRAINING
Therapy designed to train brain functions and prevent cognitive decline and progression to dementia for people at risk with mild cognitive impairment, the method targets Alzheimer's

STARRY NIGHT COGNITIVE TEST
A special memory test designed to identify early signs of Alzheimer's Disease, originally developed and validated at Oxford University, then further co-developed with Brain+ for scale and remote use
During Q4 2022, Brain+ launched its first commercial iteration of its digital CST product, the CST - Therapist Companion, on the Danish market, and in December the Company also had its first sale. The CST - Therapist Companion is a digital health tool to support therapist in delivering more efficient and effective CST treatment to patients, a particular use case which does not require regulatory certification. Later products are expected to be classified as "medical-device-software" under the European MDR regime, and "software-as-medical-device-" under the US FDA regulations.
3 product programs - and how the technologies are part of Products
The Company develops three different product programs based on the CST technology.
- Program 1: The first is the recently launched CST - Therapist Companion, aiming to help therapists delivering CST group sessions in clinics. This product family includes an add-on product, CST-Home Companion, that allows people in CST group sessions to practice at home in-between sessions. A second version of the CST-Therapist Companion product is already in development (expected Class 1 MDR, subject to regulatory approval). This product only relies on the CST-technology.
- Program 2: The second, is the CST Home Care product (expected Class 1/2a MDR). This product allows people who have been through a CST group session to do CST in the comfort of their own homes and to maintain benefits from CST group sessions. This product only relies on the CST-technology.
Rights Issue | 21 | Brain+ A/S
- Program 3: The third, is CST-for-MCI aiming to delay the cognitive decline in people with MCI (expected Class 2a MDR). The CST-for MCI product will combine the three core technologies.
- There is a fourth potential product which is a digital biomarker for Alzheimer's based on the Starry Night Cognitive test technology, however this product as a stand-alone is not expected in the near-term time frame 2023-2025.
In terms of commercial roll-out and value creation, the strategy in the near term focuses on first three product families (See figure below) based on CST. These three product families correspond to the three-part strategy described in the Motive for the Rights Issue section. Below, each of the technologies and products will be described in more detail.


Therapist-led CST group therapy session


CST at home done by caregiver (a specialist or a family member) and person with dementia


CST at home done by caregiver and person with mild cognitive impairment

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)
The original CST is a guided talk therapy where people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's engage in psychosocial interaction to stimulate cognition, deep thinking and to create new associations via existing memories and stimulation of memory network. CST has reliably shown to improve cognition and quality of life using language and social interaction mechanisms. The therapy also works to increase the quality of the patient's interaction with their caregivers, as it facilitates a structured way to engage socially. This cognitive therapy is currently widely used in clinical settings, and traditionally requires in-person therapy sessions with trained therapists.
CST is currently the non-pharmacological dementia therapy with the strongest evidence in the world today, and has been highlighted by the World Health Organization and recommended for global implementation in the World Alzheimer's Report 2022. CST is currently being adopted in over 30 countries.
CST received strong support in 2022 in the World Alzheimer's Report & the World Health Organization:
World Alzheimer Report 2022
"Nonpharmacological interventions, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) and Cognitive Rehabilitation, should be further researched and implemented as possible cost-effective and impactful interventions globally"

World Health Organization 2022
"... evidence suggests that rehabilitative interventions such as cognitive stimulation therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, physical exercise and gain/balance training can improve cognition, function, stability and/or the quality of life of people med dementia"

2 COCHRANE REVIEWS, 100+ RCTS
"...Cognitive Stimulation Therapy is the non-pharmacological dementia treatment with the strongest evidence today... ...the cognitive benefit of CST equates roughly to a six-month delay in the cognitive decline usually expected in mild-to-moderate dementia..."

Rights Issue | 22 | Brain+ A/S
Brain+ first technology - digital CST, is to the Management's best knowledge the first ever commercial digital version of the already proven and widely used therapy for treating dementia at home or in a clinic. Brain+ is researching and developing a portfolio of products based on this technology for therapy intervention in groups (in clinic or online), complemented by home use to treat cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's and improve quality of life for people living with the mild to moderate dementia or living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
CST - Therapist Companion
The Company's first product, the CST - Therapist Companion is a digital tool, designed to support clinicians in preparing for, and delivering more efficient and effective CST sessions. It allows therapists to provide personalized therapy, while also tracking progress and enabling the therapist to adjust treatment as needed. This digitalized version of CST enables dementia therapists to consistently deliver high-quality CST and at the same time save up to 8 hours of preparation for every 10 hours of therapy delivered. The digital CST version also enables newly trained therapists to get started fast.
Therapist Companion was initially launched in Denmark as a digital health tool to support therapists, that does not require regulatory certification. This enables Brain+ to bring the product to market quickly, generate revenue, gather valuable data, and build close relationships with dementia healthcare providers. The Company plans for another product launch of the Therapist Companion in Germany during Q2 2023. The target is to expand the United Kingdom in 2024, with the U.S as a subsequent target in later years.
In Q1 2023 Brain+ finalized and launched an add-on to the Therapist Companion called 'Home Companion'. The Home Companion product is designed as a digital health application for repeated exposure to the CST sessions in an at-home setting, during and immediately after participation in a therapist-facilitated CST program. Like the Therapist Companion, the product is launched without medical certifications or claims because it works as an integrated supportive part of a basic CST program done at the clinic.

COGNITIVE STIMULATION THERAPY - THERAPIST COMPANION
INTENDED USE
Enables therapist to deliver Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for mild to moderate dementia efficiently to save time and effectively
EVIDENCE
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy is the non-pharmacological dementia treatment with the strongest evidence base in the world. It is recommended for global implementation in the World Alzheimer's report 2022 and highlighted by the World Health Organization. It is already the recommended standard of care in the UK by NICE. The Brain+ digital therapeutic product that delivers CST has positive pilot data, and clinical trials are underway to get health care payer data for reimbursement.
MARKETS
Denmark - launched in Q4 22
Germany - launch in Q2 23
United Kingdom - launch in 2024
Brain+ is now developing version 2 of CST-Therapist Companion.
- This will be a more advanced product version with many new functions and features.
- The launch of the version 2 of CST-TC accomplishes multiple things. It enables UK market launch, as a more sophisticated version for more sophisticated users in the UK (because UK is the origin country of CST and is used extensively) thus opening this new market for sales. This product will offer a higher degree of tailoring and personalization, data tracking and monitoring for the therapist of the patient.
- It enables upselling of a more expensive and sophisticated (and value-adding for customer) version to existing clients of the first version of CST-Therapist Companion.
- It can enable reimbursement by DIPA (German reimbursement channel) which is up to USD 600/patient per year, or another reimbursement channel, thus making sales much more attractive and easier than a regular SaaS sale.
Rights Issue | 23 | Brain+ A/S
- It is MDR Class 1 compliant, which is a requirement for some of the larger potential target customers, particularly in Germany (less so in Denmark).
- A clinical study is planned for 2023 to document the benefits specifically with the intention to meet reimbursement required end-points validating clinical benefits and to fulfill regulatory. The reimbursement research and clinical planning is ongoing and can therefore be subject to updates. This study could include, or even have the CST Home Companion as its main focus.
- Launch is planned in 2024.
CST - Home Care
The 'CST - Home Care' is intended to allow people who have finished the 7-week basic CST group program* CST to continue the CST therapy after the 7-weeks in their own homes. In this case the person with dementia will do the CST with a relative, spouse, volunteer or other type of caregiver in the home. The CST-Home Care product is designed to support patients with the continued maintenance of the benefits from basic CST program in the comfort of their own homes.
- The 7-week basic CST group program is the standard of care being offered by the municipalities in Denmark, or clinics in Germany and the UK. The CST-Therapist Companion is aiding the delivery of this basic CST program.
The Company plans to conduct an additional clinical study in 2024 to document the benefits of CST - Home Care, with the intention to meet DiPA, DiGA or other reimbursement required endpoints validating clinical benefits in relation to slowed cognitive decline and quality of life for care givers and users. The clinical development plan is under development and may change. DIGA reimbursement for comparable products is approximately EUR 400 per treatment (Technomed Berlin Conference). The reimbursement research and clinical planning is ongoing and can therefore be subject to updates. CST-Home Care is currently expected to complete product development in 2024 and subject to finalize product development and regulatory approvals, the time to market is expected to be in 2025.
CST for MCI
Brain+ is developing and researching the CST for MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) product, which combines CST with the Company's product within Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) technology for MCI (See Technology: CCT). CST for MCI is intended as a therapeutic intervention based on CST but using specific CCT modules for core cognitive functions affected in MCI to treat cognitive symptoms in areas of visual spatial attention, memory, attentional control, and episodic memory. Brain+ has a range of initiatives to progress clinical maturation of the product, including pilot study with the MCI product during 2023.
Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT)
The CCT product targets persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and includes computerized cognitive training and offers a fun and engaging way for patients to improve their cognitive function. The personalized and adaptive nature of the games ensures that patients receive therapy that is tailored to their specific needs, helping to support continued cognitive improvement. This technology was based on original work done by Brain+ aiming to alleviate cognitive issues in people with traumatic brain injury, which is the 1st Generation of this technology. The learnings from the 1st Generation CCT games have formed the basis of the 2nd Generation CCT that now targets very specific cognitive domains relevant for the disease area and the utilization of behavioural interventions that have proven effective.
Brain+ has a range of initiatives to progress clinical maturation of the CCT product. In 2021, Brain+ presented two studies on how computerized cognitive training 1st Generation showed positive effects in brain injury patients and feasibility in parkinson's disease. These disease groups correlate with dementia in terms of overlapping cognitive symptoms, and they are also high-risk groups for later development of dementia. In January 2023, the results of an 8-week placebo-controlled intervention study in people with Subjective Cognitive Impairments (SCI) demonstrated improved cognitive load after use of Brain+' 1st Generation CCT games. Some far-transfer effects were also seen on the participants' performance in a shopping task, meaning that improvements from the training transferred to daily life tasks. For Brain+, this gives feasibility
Rights Issue | 24 | Brain+ A/S
validation of doing remote at-home training and for using cognitive training to make a positive impact on daily activities. These results show the relevance of using Brain+ CCT games in its products in people with cognitive impairments.
A study conducted by Nottingham University as part of the Brain+ led European Horizon2020 project called Alzheimer's Detect & Prevent has provided promising feasibility indications that Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) can positively impact the cognitive load in people with Subjective Cognitive Impairments (SCI). In addition to the effect on cognitive load, the CCT training also resulted in improvements in the study participants' performance in a shopping task that mimics real-life shopping. People with SCI have an increased risk of developing dementia and are therefore a highly relevant segment for Brain+.
To further mature the 2nd Generation of the Company's CCT technology, Brain+ has since 2021 led a Eurostars grant project called ACTTDCS to develop a new mechanism of action for cognitive training targeting people-at-risk of dementia, especially MCI. This project enables collaborations with leading KOL's such as the University of Gothenburg, the University of Oxford, the University of Nottingham, and game development and software engineering company Nurogames.
In connection with the project, the Company currently progressing a pilot open label-controlled study with Aarhus University to assess cognitive abilities and patient-reported outcomes with MCI patients. The full ACTTDCS project ends in Q4 2023, and clinical results are to expect to be published shortly after.
Brain+ is concurrently planning another small pilot study in 2023 to further mature validation of computerized cognitive training, to add medical claims and obtain reimbursement on the product. It is expected that Brain+ future product 'CST for MCI' will merit classification as a medical-device software Class 2a, which will require additional proof of concept and pivotal studies including applicability in MCI, CST integration, and combination effects. The clinical development plan is under development and may change.
It is estimated that 3-4 times as many people live with MCI compared to dementia, so subject to commercialization, this product is expected to have the potential to be highly impactful. Brain+ aims to partner with a strategic industry partner to co-develop and launch CST for MCI and will continue to mature the product.
Starry Night Cognitive Test
The Starry Night Cognitive Test is a novel tool for detecting Alzheimer's disease and other forms of brain dysfunction. It is easy to administer, gamified and can be done remotely, which makes it suitable for use in a wide range of settings. The test measures the specific component of memory related to the binding of identity and location of objects, which is a critical cognitive ability for episodic memory and perception. The Starry Night Cognitive Test technology is currently envisioned to form part of the future CST for MCI product, where it will be used for monitoring and testing changes in cognitive functions.
The Starry Night Cognitive Test is currently in the development and research phase. The technology has shown positive results in already finished clinical trials, but additional clinical validation is required before clinical claims can be made and reimbursement can be obtained. The digital Starry Night Cognitive Test is an adapted version of the test originally developed by Oxford University and co-developed with the Brain+ as part of an EU-Horizon2020 funded innovation project led by Brain+. The purpose of the adaptation was to enable large scale and remote testing, and to increase sensitivity in measurement.
The Company is currently with Oxford University, Aarhus University, and Nottingham University on the development and research of the Starry Night Cognitive Test. Over the past year, Brain+ has made significant clinical progress with Starry Night technology. Two clinical trials and one Public and Patient Engagement (PPI) has successfully been completed and additional one study is currently in the final stages.
Rights Issue | 25 | Brain+ A/S
The first study, conducted by Oxford University, aimed to replicate the original lab test results in healthy elderly individuals. The results were positive and were announced in February 2022. An additional study was planned with individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) at Oxford but was ultimately deemed not feasible due to Covid-related restrictions. Despite this, valuable demographic data was still collected.
At the University of Nottingham, Brain+ carried out two additional studies. The first was a clinical study involving 86 people with Subjective Cognitive Impairments also mentioned above for Computerized Cognitive Training, here Starry Night test was successfully used for measuring memory. The second was a qualitative Public and Patient Engagement (PPI) conducted to inform the opinions of those living with dementia on Computerized Cognitive Training and cognitive screening tools for early detection. Finally, one more study ran by Aarhus University with people at genetic risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is in the final phases, with results expected H1 2023.
Next step in the clinical development for Starry Night Cognitive Test is to conduct a large-scale trial to gather normative data on the technology. This will provide a population performance baseline against which to compare individuals at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and to track how outcomes develop over time for more effective future disease detection and treatment. Brain+ plans to leverage the Starry Night test to support cognitive screening for MCI, and in the detection and monitoring of symptoms and improvements from the Company's therapies. Subject to the completion of existing clinical trials, Brain+ expects to conduct an additional proof of concept study in people with MCI to support monitoring validation via test-retest reliability, and a larger-scale population study for monitoring validation and stage discrimination.
Technology Platform, Data & Security
The Company's tech platform plays a crucial role in driving business growth at Brain+. In the past year Brain+ finalized development for CST-Therapist Companion, but more importantly, Brain+ has ensured that this was done based on a modular infrastructure that will accelerate and cost-effectively facilitate the development of future products.
Brain+ are continuously developing and maintaining their technology platform to meet the highest standards for use in software-as-medical-devices. Later versions of the digital CST product are expected to be sold as reimbursable prescription products, which means the Company must prioritize compliance with medical device regulations, regional data privacy and cybersecurity requirements and health system interfacing requirements.
The following figures show the Brain+ Tech Stack and the national and regulatory requirements that the Brain+ platform is designed for and being further developed.

Commercial Roadmap
Summary
Brain+ commercial status and outlook are promising as the Company reached two key commercial milestones in 2022; the first being the finalization and launch of CST-Therapist Companion product in Denmark in November, where it has received a strong reception from municipal customers, and the second being the Company's first sale to the municipality of Herning in December. More generally, 2022 was used to finalize the first dementia product, and expand commercial presence, partnerships, and brand awareness in the Danish and German markets. Market introduction in Germany is planned for Q2 of 2023.
Denmark
During the past year Brain+ finalized product development and later launched the product CST-Therapist Companion in Q4 2022. Within 2 months of the launch, in December, Brain+ closed its first sale with a municipal contract with the Municipality of Herning. The sale was secured at an introductory price of DKK 50,000 for a 1-year license. This contract was for the "basic package" of the CST-Therapist Companion. This first sale in Denmark provides strong validation of the market fit for CST Therapist Companion, as the Municipality of Herning is a lighthouse in terms of CST adoption and the 13th largest municipality in Denmark with approximately 90,000 citizens. The Company is currently engaged in a number of ongoing customer dialogues to secure additional sales for 2023.

Therapist Companion. Denmark, with its high digital adoption and utilization of CST, is an attractive home market for Brain+ digital dementia therapeutics, estimated to be worth DKK 200 million.
Germany
During 2022, Brain+ also focused on paving the way for a successful launch of CST Therapist Companion in Germany. In September 2022, the Company successfully completed the regulatory and commercial preparation of the CST-Therapist Companion for the German market with RoX Health, part of Roche, and advanced the launch plan by six months and partnered with external sales specialist Coopmed to build market traction ahead of the CST market introduction in Q2 2023. In March 2022, the Company were invited into the Danish-German Care Alliance (Dänisch Deutsche Pflegeallianz), which aims to put Danish medical technologies directly into the hands of relevant large German customers. As a member the Company have engaged in meetings and workshops with large German care home chains, with the aim of establishing local pilots and lead customers. A collaboration was also established with Germany's foremost CST expert and key opinion leader, Katija Werheid, with whom local market testing and piloting be conducted, including the final cultural adaptation to the German market. Germany, being the largest health care market in Europe, is an attractive neighboring market for Brain+ digital dementia therapeutics, with an estimated market size of DKK 3 billion.
United Kingdom
As part of the Company's ongoing expansion efforts, United Kingdom will become a key subsequent market for the rollout of the CST product portfolio. Commercial success in both countries require close dialogues with regulatory bodies and payors to ensure that the products meet all necessary requirements and are eligible for reimbursement.
The high prevalence of dementia in the UK, the large market size for digital dementia therapeutics, the strength of the local patient advocacy groups, combined with the fact that CST is the recommended standard of care in the UK, makes this market an attractive target market for Brain+.
In the UK, Brain+ has already established strong multi-year existing R&D partnerships with the University of Oxford, University of Nottingham and University College London.
Balancing resources
As a small Digital Therapeutics company with scarce resources, Brain+ is pursuing a carefully sequenced approach that prioritizes resources towards profitability and building market leading position. Over the coming year, the Company's resources will be balanced between: 1) building commercial traction in the target markets to ensure leverage of first mover advantage within digital CST, and 2) maturing the product pipeline, which will benefit both revenues in the near term and support building a strong competitive position.
In Denmark, Brain+ expect that the current level of staff cost will continue to be sufficient to cover the commercial management and enable additional initial sales of CST-Therapist Companion. In Germany, Brain+ will continue to build brand awareness, market access and lay the foundation for commercial traction and market introduction. As the Company prioritizes high-impact reference customers and can cross-leverage existing commercial resources, the market introduction cost will be partly supported by current commercial expenditure combined with the expectation of additional resources towards on-the-ground implementation and customer support.
Looking beyond 2023, Brain+ intends to enter the UK in 2024 and later the US. Both the UK and US are high-priority markets, but Brain+ is also eyeing additional European and global markets, potentially via strategic partnerships. The Company is opportunistically eyeing additional European markets, and with existing resources, Brain+ is probabilistically prioritizing markets with high adoption potential and low costs to serve relative to end-market pricing regimes. Brain+ is also exploring potential strategic partnerships to accelerate new market launches, subject to these agreements unlocking commercial market access and conducive funding.

In Brain+ first market, Denmark, the Company has initiated sales and is offering its CST-Therapist Companion product through a subscription-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) pricing model, with options for limited or full municipal licensing, or a fee per therapist.
In Germany, the initial sales model for the CST-Therapist Companion will be B2B subscription-based SaaS model and is initially paid for by individual clinics and care homes. In parallel with initial sales efforts supported by the Company's partner Coopmed, Brain+ together with Rox Health will be to establish Brain+ products as reimbursable digital therapeutics on a national healthcare level in Germany, focusing initially on the CST-Therapist Companion, and the following product, CST-Home Care. The aim is for these products to be covered by healthcare funds across all of Germany. Reimbursement of the products can be achieved by taking products through the new reimbursement pathway for digital care applications, DIPA ("Digitale Pflegeanwendungen"). Getting reimbursed via DIPA sets strict product quality requirements, and the Brain+ CST products are being developed in accordance with these strict requirements. Reimbursement will enable faster adoption of the CST products and allow more widespread market penetration. DIPA supports reimbursement of up to €600 per patient per year (BFARM, The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices of Germany). Other reimbursement options than DIPA are also available and being analyzed as potential alternative channels.
In the UK, Brain+ plans to leverage and build on existing partnerships with leading Key Opinion Leaders to drive adoption of the CST products among healthcare providers and caregivers. In the United States, the Company are building a foundation of partnerships and collaborations with leading stakeholders. Subject to unlocking regulatory and clinical milestones, these relationships will empower the Company with strong foundation for future growth and support adoption of CST products in the UK and United States.
The primary business model of Brain+ future, more complex products with medical claims, is to bring prescribed and reimbursed therapeutical products to the market (otherwise known as Software-as-a-Medical-Device), similar to the regulated pharmaceutical market today. In a reimbursed model, the state, a health insurer or similar type of payer pays per treatment each time a Brain+ treatment is prescribed. For its regulated reimbursed products, Brain+ will initially target one to two major European markets and then the US.
Partnerships
Brain+ collaborates with an extensive partner network. The benefits of this approach to date have included, but are not limited to, commercial acceleration, clinical maturation of technologies with academic partners and KOLs, and user insights from patient organizations. partnerships are at the center of Brain+ strategy, as these extend the organic capabilities of the organization beyond what is achievable standalone. During the past year, Brain+ have continued to establish and pursue new partnerships.
Commercial partnerships support the German market launch of CST Therapist Companion
Brain+ has commercial partnerships with RoX Health and Coopmed, both of which have provided access to specialist competencies and resources. The partnership with RoX Health, a part of Roche, has been in place since December 2021, and resulted in enhanced product development and has enabled Brain+ to accelerate the launch of the Company's first dementia product in Germany to Q2 2023, three years ahead of initial schedule at the time of the Company's IPO in 2021. This partnership has also facilitated funding to the Company, through achievement of product milestones, with a milestone plan that extends into 2023. The next milestone under the partnership will be a product market introduction in the German market, which is planned for Q2 2023, and another is tied to the first customer sale in Germany. Separately, Brain+ is with external specialist sales partner Coopmed to build market traction and awareness in Germany to pave the way for a successful launch of the CST Therapist Companion and future product launches. Since March 2022, when the Company were invited into the Danish-German Care Alliance, this collaboration has furthermore helped set up workshops and meetings with large care-home chains to help support commercial efforts to establish local pilots and lead customers.
Partnering with Open Telecom to develop cost-effective solutions on German cloud infrastructure and ensure data privacy compliance
In development, the Company have partnered with Open Telecom since August 2022 to cost-effectively develop solutions on German cloud infrastructure and ensure compliance with German and European data privacy requirements.
Partnerships key to maturation of clinical pipeline at Brain+: grant-funded research and strong consortium of expert partners
Partnerships play a key role in the maturation of Brain+ clinical pipeline. To date about DKK 100 million has been invested into Brain+ technologies, a majority of which is via innovation grant funded research. This approach has enabled the establishment of a strong and long-term consortium of expert partners, including leading international scientists from top universities such as the University of Oxford, University of Nottingham, University of Gothenburg, University of York, The Sahlgrenska Academy, and Via University College. In these partnerships provides Brain+ access to expertise and resources, as well as non-dilutive funding and increased efficiency and cost-savings.
Intellectual property rights
To protect its intellectual property rights ("IPR"), the Company is closely with Marigold Innovation ApS (an IPR consultancy company) in reviewing its assets for patentability and realizing its IPR strategy. The Company's strategy has so far consisted of secrecy, trademarks, design rights and open innovation collaboration agreements in protecting their assets and securing their IPR.
Patents have so far been rare in the digital health industry. However, leading Digital Therapeutic companies have begun to file for patents, and Brain+ is in the process of assessing potential patentable IPRs. As the Digital Therapeutic markets evolve, patents are becoming an important factor. The Company is with its IPR advisors on patenting its core technologies and is therefore keeping key aspects of them secret to the public.
Patenting is not a requirement for large strategic partnership deals as witnessed by many Digital Therapeutic partnerships not involving patents. However, Brain+, believes that patents will become valuable, as part of its pharma "DNA". Also, patents will secure freedom to operate. Several of the Brain+ technologies have patent potential, which is in process with IPR consultancy support.
Brain+ has rights to commercialize all its technologies and IPR which have been developed in collaboration with clinical and academic partners subject to licensing arrangement and payment of royalties from commercial exploitation. Also, and to the greatest extent possible, Brain+ has secured clauses to have the first right to patent innovative technology coming out of its R&D collaborations.
ISO 13485
In December 2022, Brain+ implemented an ISO 13485 Quality Management System (QMS) for Medical Devices. The QMS includes procedures for planning, performing, measuring, and evaluating workflows. This enables the Company to develop software-as-a-medical-device products to meet regulatory and payer requirements necessary for marketing and reimbursement of medical device software.

|---|---|---|---|
| How the product makes a real difference? | CST- Therapists Companion helps therapists save 80% time on preparation, standardize CST sessions in high quality and improve consistency of therapeutic delivery. This gives therapists additional time to care for more patients. | CST-Home Care will provide people, who have been in basic group training by a municipality or a private clinic, their relatives and home care-givers the option of an extended ‘do-it-yourself’ use of digital CST at home. This product allows maintaining the cognitive benefits gained from group CST sessions. | CST-for-MCI targets people in stage of Alzheimer’s disease right before dementia, namely Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). It aims to delay cognitive decline and progression of Alzheimer’s disease into dementia stage. It uses CST and Computerized Cognitive Training for strengthening cognitive functions and facilitating learning. |

| The market | 50 million people live with dementia worldwide. In our initial target markets of Denmark, Germany and the UK, the addressable numbers are 90,000, 1,500,000 and almost 900,000, respectively. Up to 50% of people with dementia are not being offered any treatment whatsoever, and CST is a relatively new treatment method with the best evidence in the world, recommended in the World Alzheimer’s Report 2022. | The CST-Home Care product extends commercial reach beyond CST groups and into the home and unlocks an estimated addressable target demographic ~12x the size of our CST-Therapist Companion. This expands revenue potential for ALL existing customers of CST-Therapist Companion v1 and v2. | CST-for-MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) extends the commercial reach to people with MCI, a condition 3-4x as prevalent as dementia (150-200 million people, vs. 50 million in dementia). To make CST relevant in the MCI segment, the CST is adapted to the higher cognitive functioning of the user, and the other ‘active ingredient’ of Computerized Cognitive Training is added to enhance the stimulating and training effect. |

Digital Therapeutics
Digital Therapeutics are a class of medical interventions that use digital and online technologies to improve health outcomes. They can include a range of tools and technologies, such as mobile apps, wearable devices, and virtual reality, used for a variety of purposes, including supportive and diagnostic tools, as well as add-ons to drug therapy and stand-alone therapy.
Digital Therapeutic treatments of patients prescribed by doctors and often reimbursed by public or private health care payers. Digital Therapeutics can replace or supplement existing treatments and often deliver comparable health outcomes, it is also quite common to see Digital Therapeutics in combination with traditional drug treatments, and the future of health care is likely to have combinations of drugs and digital therapeutics to be the norm. Digital therapies are developed utilizing the same principles as classic drug development, undergoes the same clinical pathway and must follow similar regulatory and safety requirements. Digital therapies may also be reimbursed by public or private funders. The major difference for digital therapeutics compared to classical pharma, is that the R&D and clinical development cost is generally lower, time-to-market can be faster, reduced risks of severe side effects and offer a range of tailored interventions in contrast to traditional one-size-fits-all approach.
Because Digital Therapeutics are delivered as software, directly on people's smartphone or tablets, person-delivered therapies can now be given in the home, whenever and wherever it is convenient for the patient. This means a great increase in patient access to clinically safe and effective therapies. Generally, the patients experience more comfort and get improved treatment due to continuity of care. Subject to any current privacy regulations, digital therapeutic products enable much richer and more continuous data that enables personalization (personalized digital medicine) and adaptation of treatments to the patient's evolving needs. If the treatment is supported by clinicians, the clinicians' ability to care for patients is thus both extended (in reach and scale) and their support can become more data driven. Additional advantages with digital medicines include lowering stigma associated with the delivery of certain traditional therapies by offering at-home convenience and privacy.

Differences between digital therapeutics and traditional pharma
While following similar clinical, regulatory and reimbursement pathways, there are however, some significant and noteworthy differences between traditional pharma and digital therapeutics.
Clinical development in digital therapeutics generally has lower risk profile as digital therapeutics treatments are not 'in vivo' (within the body/biology/tissue), which is a key reason why digital therapeutics has significantly reduced risk of side effects.

Figure: Pharma compared to Digital Therapeutics. Source: Brain+
Classic drug development companies are exposed to a high risk that the trials will fail. In the digital therapeutics industry, the risk is often lower, because the solutions deliver a digital, scalable and engaging version of already clinically validated solutions. At the same time, due to the relative novelty of digital therapeutics, the competitive space in each disease area is still less crowded than in traditional drug development, which also implies that the possibility for creating strong partnerships is higher in digital therapeutics than in traditional drug development.
Digital Therapeutics as a field of medicine has seen large traction in markets such as diabetes management, mental health, cardiovascular health, chronic pain management, weight management, and smoking cessation. The potential for cost-savings is prevalent and for payors a material incentive for adopting digital therapeutics.
Digital therapeutics partnering deals
One model that has garnered particular interest from established pharmaceutical players is a Digital Therapeutics companion model, in which a digital therapeutic is used as an add-on to traditional drug therapy, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and compliance. This approach has the potential to modulate the effectiveness of traditional therapies and offers an attractive option for pharmaceutical companies looking to expand and improve their product offerings and address unmet clinical needs. With 143 drugs in the current Alzheimer's disease drug development pipeline and 47 trials in Phase 3 (Cummings et al., 2022), the field of potential partners for Brain+ is wide.

In the past years, pharma companies have started to engage with digital therapeutics companies through different type of partner deals. Most recently, in December 2022, Boehringer Ingelheim entered into a partnership deal with Click Therapeutics regarding joint development of a mobile application for helping people with schizophrenia achieve positive clinical outcomes. The deal included an upfront payment, research and development funding, and milestone payments up to a total of USD 460 million plus royalties (Boehringer Ingelheim). The deal is an extension on the USD 500 million licensing deal between the same two parties in 2020.

Dementia
Dementia is not a single disease; it's an overall term – like heart disease – that covers a wide range of specific medical conditions, including Alzheimer's. Disorders grouped under the general term "dementia" are caused by abnormal brain changes. These changes trigger a decline in cognitive abilities, severe enough to impair daily life and independent function. Dementia is the end-result of a deterioration of the cognitive functions of the brain, and it is characterized by the gradual and ultimately deadly deterioration of the brain, and the cognitive functions of the brain, which are the functions we use to interact with the world. They also affect behaviour, feelings and the patients' relationships. Dementia is often incorrectly referred to as "senility" or "senile dementia", which reflects the formerly widespread, but incorrect, belief that serious mental decline is a normal part of aging.
Currently, 57 million people are diagnosed with dementia globally, and this number is expected to triple to more than 152 million people by 2050 (Lancet Public Health). In 2030, the global costs of dementia are expected to exceed USD 2 trillion (or equal to 2/3rds of the entire health care budget of the USA) (Alzheimer's Association), 1 in 3 people die from dementia in the US today, and in the UK, it is already the leading cause of death for women (Alzheimer's Research UK).
There is currently no cure for dementia, however there are drugs and non-drug therapies that can lessen a person's symptoms. Medication is an important part for treatment of dementia and cognitive decline. However, drugs can only help some symptoms and is therefore only a part of a person's care. Other important aspects of care include other nondementia specific treatments for easing the symptoms, person-centred care and social interaction therapies. The World

Alzheimer Report 2022 published in September 2022 highlighted how "nonpharmacological interventions, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) and Cognitive Rehabilitation, should be further researched and implemented as possible cost-effective and impactful interventions globally².
Brain+ has one live product and two under development tin the portfolio for dementia, the CST-Therapist Companion, which is live in Denmark, and several new CST-dementia products in the pipeline.

Mild Cognitive Impairment
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a condition in which an individual experiences a slight decline in cognitive abilities that is noticeable to family and friends but does not interfere with daily living or normal activities. Examples of these changes include difficulty recalling recent events, difficulty finding the right words, and difficulty with complex tasks. MCI is considered to be a transitional stage between normal aging and more serious cognitive decline, such as dementia. Studies have shown that 8-15% of individuals with MCI will develop dementia each year, and as many as 80% will progress to dementia within six years (Rosenberg & Lyketsos, 2008). It is estimated that 150-200 million people worldwide live with MCI, more than three times as many as those living with dementia.
Brain+ has one product in the pipeline for Mild Cognitive Impairment: CST for MCI, which is currently in technologies prototype and piloting stage.
Market for Digital Therapeutics
The global market for digital dementia products is experiencing strong growth. The estimated current addressable market for digital dementia therapeutics is approximately USD 5 billion, or 0.5% of the total USD 1 trillion dementia treatment cost. However, as digital therapeutics continue to establish their relevance and value as a new medical class, particularly for diseases with strong behavioral and mental indications, the addressable market is expected to expand to USD 15-20 billion by 2035, partly driven by the tripling of number of patients with the dementia by 2050. As a comparator there is the most mature digital health market today, Digital Diabetes Management, which already in 2021 had a market size of USD 11 billion, and is projected to grow to 30 billion (Research & Markets). When comparing it to the potential in

dementia, the global costs of diabetes is USD 825 billion, and the costs of dementia is already larger than this USD 1000 billion, which speaks to the large potential for digital therapeutics in dementia.
Digital dementia therapeutics adoption is expected to be driven by particularly, improving patient outcomes by addressing unmet needs, and reducing costs for payors.

Target market data
Denmark
In Denmark, the market size for digital dementia therapeutics is estimated at DKK 200 million, with an estimated 90,000 people living with dementia. The adoption of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) in Denmark is happening rapidly, with 98 municipalities offering dementia care and 30+ of these already using CST, and other municipalities are planning to adopt it. This high demand has resulted in a six-month waiting time to train new CST therapists, indicating a steadily growing market as new therapists are continuously educated.
Germany
In Germany, the market size for digital dementia therapeutics is estimated at EUR 400 million, with an estimated 1.6 million people living with dementia (Alzheimer's Disease International). Germany has 2,275 nursing homes (20% of all nursing homes) specialized in dementia care, as well as over 3,800 out-patient services (25% of all out-patient services) specialized in dementia care (Rox Health, JLL). Brain+'s CST products may qualify under the new DiPA pathway and the existing DiGA pathway for end-users and caregivers, which would unlock access to reimbursement for caregivers and the approximately 1.5 million German citizens with dementia covered by statutory health insurance. The insurance sick funds will pay up to EUR 50 per month for DiPA-approved solutions and EUR 200-600 per treatment for 'Neurology' category DiGA solutions (DiPa/DiGa directives). Overall, Germany offers significant opportunities for Brain+ due to the high prevalence of dementia, a conducive regulatory environment, and demand for innovative solutions.
Rights Issue | 39 | Brain+ A/S
In addition to these core markets to Brain+, the UK and US markets are deemed attractive for Brain+ based on similar characteristics including large relevant patient populations, pricing environment, and Digital Therapeutic conducive regulatory environments.
United Kingdom
In the UK, there are approximately 67 million people and 1 million people with dementia, and the disease is the number one cause of death for women. The market size for digital dementia therapeutics in the UK is estimated to be more than GBP 150m. CST is the recommended standard of care by NICE and is widely used across the UK. Furthermore, adoption is well-supported as researchers have found that CST is cost-effective when compared to usual care in terms of benefits in cognition and quality of life, and could generate a net benefit of nearly GBP 54.9 million per year for the NHS (LSE).
United States
The US market is in the longer-term plans for Brain+ as high priority market, while not in the 2023-2025 time frame in terms of market entry. In the US, approximately 7 million people currently have dementia, and this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million people by 2050, and 1 in 3 seniors in the US die with or of dementia. The US market potential for digital dementia therapeutics is estimated to be more than USD 2 billion, as high US price levels for digital therapeutics have been observed.
Competitive landscape
While the underlying pathology of Alzheimer's disease and dementia is incurable, there are drugs and non-drug therapies that can lessen a person's symptoms and prolong the person's ability to care for themselves. Brain+ contribution to the dementia market is treatments for cognitive decline, which is a main symptom of Alzheimer's. The Brain+ treatment is thus not to be confused with a treatment for the underlying pathology, the Alzheimer's disease, which is as mentioned, incurable. Treating cognitive deficits, if effective, will however result in a higher independence and quality of life. The loss of cognitive ability is what causes persons to lose their ability to take care of themselves, which makes dementia one of the costliest conditions that exists.
Summary of competitive position
The competitive space for treatment of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's and dementia is open or still 'Blue Ocean'. Based on current levels of evidence and market adoption, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (which is the core focus of Brain+) is a treatment approach, which both has high clinical relevance and high costs effectiveness. Methods treating cognitive decline (such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy) are complementary to drug treatments aimed at the pathology itself (See section below, and while being in competition are also highly complementary and the source of possible strategic pharma future partnerships. Other classic treatment paradigms in cognition are cognitive training games and cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive training is the other therapeutic method, where Brain+ also has technology uniquely focused on Alzheimer's disease, and while there are many health- and brain training type apps, there are only few with a digital therapeutics approach, and primarily in Mild Cognitive Impairment. Cognitive behavioral therapy mainly focuses on the psychological and mental health symptoms of dementia and is thus not in competition with the treatment of cognitive decline. There are some promising methods in using light based stimulation to remove amyloid plagues in the brain, this type of method would be complementary to Cognitive Stimulation Therapy of Brain+ for synergy effects. In short, Brain+ has a unique pioneering position within the space for digital therapeutics for Alzheimer's and dementia, with its focus on Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (first mover) and Computerized Cognitive Training, in a space where there is little competition for treatment of cognitive decline, and where some competing methods, drugs or brain stimulation, are complementary.

Dementia competitor matrix
Blue oceans
1: Cognitive stimulation therapy
No direct competitors to Brain+ in digital Cognitive Stimulation Therapy. High clinical relevance makes CST a top priority as highlighted by WHO and ADI.
2: Brain stimulation
Light-based Brain+ stimulation has promising evidence for removing amyloid plagues in relation to Alzheimer's. Competitors include Cognito Therapeutics, Optocetics.
Red oceans
3: Cognitive training games
Many companies offer memory games, but cognitive training clinical evidence in the dementia stage is not yet mature and it is not clinically recommended for dementia. Competitors include Cogmed, Retrobrain, Neuronation, BrainHQ, Lumosity, Cognifit.
4: Cognitive behavioral therapy
Used extensively in mental health and habit change. May be relevant for phycological symptoms, like anxiety.
5: Drugs & biologics
100's of pharma companies trying. Mostly unsuccessful. However, recent breakthrough in amyloid plague removal and FDA approval of Lecanemab. Opportunity to combine CST with drugs.
The competitive landscape for CST according to Brain+ internal assessment, based on current scientific evidence, technical specifications, commercial applicability and Brain+ own judgement.
Pharmacological treatments are complementary to Brain+
Many of the drug treatments being researched by traditional biotech and pharma companies today are aimed at treating the underlying pathology of dementia, namely Alzheimer's disease, while the drugs currently on the market are focused on symptom relief. Most of the disease modifying drug R&D has been focused on anti-amyloid (protein targeting) modes of action, aiming to stop the degeneration of the neural tissue, by neutralizing or removing certain proteins, called amyloid, that cause damage and dysfunction in the patient's brain.
Drugs cannot strengthen the neural networks of the brain directly (as this requires an actual focused effort by the person themselves). They can, however, facilitate that the biological systems are not dysfunctional and that they are in a state of readiness and ability to change. In practice this is because the modes of action are different, with Brain+ targeting treatment of cognitive decline by strengthening neural networks, whereas drugs are targeting various biological mechanisms that may stop the disease and improve the biological state of the brain. Pharma companies are therefore seen as potential partners more than competitors.
Because Digital Therapeutic and drugs have different health outcome targets (and different modes of action), they can generally be seen as complimentary rather than competitive and combination treatments are likely to emerge. A main reason for this that the modes and mechanisms of action of digital therapies are different to drugs. Drugs target the pathology using biological manipulation (molecules in the body) whereas Digital Therapeutics generally use behavioural mechanisms to achieve its health effect. In the case of Brain+, the main target is decline in cognitive functions, a primary symptom and the problem associated with dementia that leads to dependency on care. Brain+ is thus enabling novel treatments like computerized cognitive training or digitalized behavioural therapies, and these therapies are complementary to drug treatment. Brain+ is focused on developing and commercializing Digital Therapeutic solutions for dementia treatment, a disease which not yet have been disrupted by digital treatments.
In addition to the company's CST product line for dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment, the Company's Alzheimer's targeted memory test, Starry Night (developed in collaboration with Oxford University) is also of interest for pharmaceutical partners, because it allows for earlier detection of cognitive decline, and already approved drugs and drugs under development are likely to be more effective the earlier in the disease progression the drug is used.

Competition in treatment of cognitive decline
Brain+ has developed and is further developing the Company's CST and CCT technologies / therapies with the potential to treat cognitive decline in Alzheimer's, in the stages of dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Within each therapeutic approach, there are several different mechanisms of action being researched and developed. In addition, the Starry Night memory test, has the potential to characterize very precisely, the cognitive deficit in Alzheimer's and dementia, and could allow very precise personalized treatments with CCT.
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) was developed at University College of London, is a 7-week group- and dialogue-based therapy for Alzheimer's. This is a psychosocial method, in which social interactions stimulate cognition. Generally, CST has proven to be able to move patients 2 points on the Mini Mental State Examination test, which is a significant improvement in the person's abilities, and CST is therefore the NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) recommended standard of care for dementia in the UK. CST is on a trajectory to become the global standard for non-pharmacological dementia treatment and was last year recommended for global implementation by the World Alzheimer's Report 2022.
The original CST is an analogue in-person therapy which is now being digitalized by Brain+ together with leading clinical experts. The digital methodology has the potential to support the original CST method, but also as a stand-alone treatment for treatment in people's homes. To the best of Management's knowledge there are no other companies trying to digitalize CST. Brain+ has because of this a great opportunity to lead the way for digital therapies in the Alzheimer's and Dementia space.
Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT)
CCT is a novel approach to treatment of cognitive decline within the Alzheimer's and dementia space where there are very few active players, with Brain+ being one of the only ones fully specializing in the area as its main focus. Other potential future competitors could include, Akili Interactive, that currently offer a similar technology with lessening the symptoms of ADHD as their focus. Akili could with the synergies from its existing tech-platform potentially become a future competitor to the Company, but also a potential strategic partner.
Nonregulated brain training Apps
There are numerous "brain training" apps on the market. These training apps do not have the rigorous evidence-based approach necessary for becoming a regulated medical treatment. The vast majority of the available brain training apps are non-clinical, and even fewer focused on dementia and Alzheimer's.
Other technologies
Other technologies that facilitate cognitive improvements include neurostimulation, using various techniques to stimulate the activity of neurons by applying different types of fields, like electricity, magnetism, or sound. Neurostimulation can be used both to target removal of problematic biology, or to put brain into a positive biological state that facilitates growth and health. Stimulation is promising but still early stage in Alzheimer's and dementia research. For this reason, neurostimulation is highly complementary with computerized cognitive training. As an example, Brain+ is with neurostimulation in combination with computerized cognitive training in one of its EUREKA-funded R&D projects.
Positioned to take a leading position in Alzheimer's in a growing digital therapeutics market
Management believes, Brain+ is in a unique competitive position due to being one of the few digital therapeutic companies specializing in treating cognitive decline in Alzheimer's and dementia and having a unique portfolio of complementary technologies towards this purpose.
Moreover, Management believes Brain+ has unique strengths and capabilities at the product level including gamification and a rigorous research approach:
- Brain+ has unique capabilities within gamification which differentiate on the ability to engage and interact with the
Rights Issue | 42 | Brain+ A/S
patients but is also an essential element of achieving effect.
- Brain+ has a unique research approach, developing solutions collaboratively with research experts in the field. Brain+ has a strong partner network within dementia, Alzheimer's and cognitive neuroscience research.
Brain+ has developed technologies that support treatments at different stages of Alzheimer's, which enable both single case use or a bundling of products to support patients throughout the disease progression (and the patient journey). Also, Brain+ believes in combining multiple modes of action into a combined therapeutic solution to maximize health effects, motivation, and compliance (multimodal therapy).
As with other emerging technologies, Brain+ expects other companies to eventually join and market digital therapy products within the dementia and Alzheimer's space, which will further enhance attention to digital treatments of dementia. The competitive landscape for Digital Therapeutic companies that go through the full regulatory and reimbursement pathway is not yet crowded, but competition is increasing. Big Pharma- and MedTech companies may develop their own Digital Therapeutic solutions and may have access to a different level of funding than Brain+ and therefore may be able to allocate major resources to such solutions and gain competitive advantages. The non-regulated "digital health" space is more competitive with hundreds of thousands of health Apps.
It is the opinion of the Brain+ Management that very few companies are as well-positioned as Brain+ to develop into a leadership position within regulated treatments for cognitive decline in Alzheimer's and dementia. A position that would directly address the main problems, symptoms, and health burden of this disease area.
Market challenges
The most noteworthy market challenges include:
- Prescriber adoption barrier
- Health care payer adoption barrier
- Patient awareness
Please note that the two barriers of prescriber and payer is only applicable for the later product versions that are classified as medical device software and simultaneously reimbursed. These are on the one hand market access barriers, but also represent competitive protection.
Prescriber adoption barrier - Brain+ aims to develop and market clinically validated and reimbursed digital therapies for cognitive decline. In a prescription digital therapeutics business model, the gate-keeper is the prescriber of the digital therapeutic, typically a clinician, like a family doctor. The clinician must know about the merits of the digital therapeutic and appropriate use cases to support prescription. Examples of barriers that can stand in the way of the clinician; 1. Lack of awareness: Many healthcare providers may not be aware of the existence of digital therapeutics or understand their potential benefits. 2. Scepticism: Some healthcare providers may be sceptical about the potential of digital therapeutics to improve patient outcomes. These adoption barriers are quite different from country to country and like other segments there are early adopters that drive the initial prescriptions of digital therapeutics. Some of the obvious ways to address these barriers are to do rigorous clinical research and to get the products certified as medical device software, which is based on the same recognized standards as for drugs and medical devices. As a first-mover in digital therapeutics for Alzheimers, Brain+ believes these barriers will represent competitive protection once the Company's products sees adoption breakthroughs.
Health care payer adoption barrier - Brain+ first product - CST - Therapist Companion- is marketed as an unregulated tool for clinicians through a SaaS business model in Denmark and Germany. If covered by the DiPA reimbursement system in Germany, the Therapist Companion will not require a prescription. For this product, the payers are typically healthcare providers and municipalities, which has similar barriers like that of the prescriber, with the addition that health care payers may desire health economics data.
Rights Issue | 43 | Brain+ A/S
Patient awareness - is contingent on the general awareness and adoption of digital therapeutics for their disease. However, the most important factor is whether the patient is being offered a digital therapeutics solution by their doctor. If they are, the majority are open and willing to use a digital therapeutic (Astra Zeneca 2020 survey).

Working capital statement
According to the Board's assessment, the existing capital is not sufficient to conduct the current operations for the next twelve months from the date of this Prospectus. The unaudited operating losses for the period 1 January 2021 - 30 June 2022 have averaged approximately DKK 2.1 million per quarter and given current cash balance and growth plans, the need for capital is expected to arise in May 2023.
In order to provide the Company with working capital, finance increased commercial activities for CST - Therapist Companion in Denmark and Germany, and to further mature the product pipeline, Brain+ is now carrying out a preemptive rights issue of units. While net proceeds from the total Offering (initial Rights Issue and subsequent warrant exercises) of DKK 26 million is desirable to fully fund the 3-part business strategy described on page 33-35 in this Prospectus, it is the Board's assessment that a minimum of DKK 15 million in net proceeds from the total Offering is sufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital need until cashflow positive by only executing the Tier 1 activities described in the strategy plan. Brain+ has as of the date of this Prospectus secured a total of approx. DKK 13.4 million (including the bridge loan of DKK 3.7 million and before deduction of transaction-related costs) through pre-subscription and guarantee commitments in the Initial Issue. Public subscription in the Rights Issue and the subsequent warrant exercise of TO 2 and TO 3 is expected to provide the Company with additional capital at least up to the DKK 15 million needed from the total Offering. To continue with product development and grow the Company at a desirable pace by also pursuing Tier 2 and Tier 3 in the Business Strategy, the capital need is DKK 26 million. Net proceeds from the total Offer exceeding DKK 26 million will enable additional value creation activities, including additional market entries and accelerated studies for the 'CST for MCI' product.
In the event that the Company does not succeed, for various reasons, in receiving the minimum of approx. DKK 15 million in net proceeds from the Offering, if, for example one or more pre-subscribers or guarantee investor do not fulfil their obligations and/or if the Rights Issue and subsequent warrant exercises is subscribed to less than DKK 15 million, the Company will then actively pursue additional financing solutions for at least the remaining amount up to DKK 15 million. Such financing solutions are not detailed at the date of this Prospectus but will include, if necessary, non-exhaustively, additional capital raises through share issues, debt financing or a combination thereof. The Company will apply for additional grant opportunities that align with the overall strategy and explore partner financing solution including but not limited to strategic partnerships with established companies within the Company's industry.
Investors should be aware that there is no guarantee the Company will succeed in securing additional financing solutions, which might force the Company to run the business at a lower rate than planned, until additional capital can be secured. The long-run consequences, if the Company fails to raise sufficient capital and sales activities fail, may be to file for bankruptcy.

Risk factors
A number of risk factors can have a negative impact on Brain+ operations. There are risks pertaining to Brain+, and risks that have no specific connection with Brain+, but that impact the industry and market in which the Company operates. The risks that, according to the Company's assessment, are specific and material to Brain+ and the Company's securities are described below. It is of great importance to consider the material risks associated with the future development of the Company and its shares. For natural reasons, it is not possible to assess all risk factors without a combined evaluation of other information in the Prospectus, along with a general assessment. The risk factors include an assessment of the probability of the occurrence of the risk and the extent of its negative impact on the Company listed as high, moderate, or low. The most material risks, as assessed by Brain+, take into account the negative impact on the Company and the probability of their occurrence, are set out first.
Risks related to the Company's operations
Clinical development programs
The development and commercial success of Brain+ products rely on getting positive results from scientific and clinical trials. The ongoing trials are at early stages including the feasibility studies and proof of concept. The nature of highly innovative new technologies, like the Brain+ digital therapeutic products, carries inherent high risk that the trials may not be completed or will not yield the expected results. There is also a risk of delays of the trials which may be caused by third parties and subcontractors, the Company or other external factors. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be medium.
Medical device regulations ("MDR")
Large-scale commercialization and reimbursement depend on obtaining regulatory approval and public certifications. Regulatory authorities are focused on digital health care products that seek to create medical benefits for patients and users, which is reflected in both the new European MDR, which governs the CE Mark process, local Software-as-a-Medical-Device (SaMD) guidelines, such as the German Digitale Gesundheits Applikation (DiGA), and the US FDA regulatory guidelines and processes. The primary risk related to SaMD and MDR is the risk of not getting the positive clinical trial results, which are needed to clearly define an intended use for the product in a given patient population. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be medium.
Intellectual property rights
Brain+ currently has no patents therefore lack commercial protection on its product. The Brain+ Management though believes that very few companies are as well-positioned as Brain+ to develop into a leadership position within regulated treatments for cognitive decline in Alzheimer's and dementia. Brain+ is continuously evaluating ways of protecting the Company's intellectual properties through of trademarks, design rights, patents, and open innovation collaboration agreements.
Even with intellectual property rights, there is a risk that future rights held by the Company is not adequate commercial protection. If the Company is forced to defend its intellectual property rights against a competitor, this may entail significant costs, which may adversely affect the Company's operations, earnings, and financial position. It cannot be ruled out that new competing products in the field may affect the business. The uncertainty associated with intellectual property rights means that the outcome of such disputes is difficult to predict. Negative outcomes of disputes can lead to lost protection, a ban on continuing to exercise the current right, or an obligation to pay damages. In addition, the costs of a possible dispute, even in the event of a favorable outcome for the Company, can be significant, which could adversely affect the Company's operations, financial position, and earnings. The above could mean difficulties in generating revenue. Brain+ is also to some extent dependent on know-how and company secrets, which are not protected by legislation in the same way as intellectual property rights. However, it is not possible to fully protect oneself against unauthorised dissemination of information, which entails a risk that competitors will benefit from and be able to benefit from the knowhow developed by the Company, which could be to the detriment of the Company. It is the Company's
Rights Issue | 46 | Brain+ A/S
assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be medium.
Political risk
Initially, Brain+ operates in Denmark and will thereafter advance to Germany, UK, US and other key markets in the EU. There is a risk that changes in laws, income taxes, customs duties, exchange rates, and other conditions for foreign companies will adversely affect the Company's business operations. Furthermore, certain Brain+ products are subject to regulatory approval by governmental bodies and the primary business model of the Company is to achieve reimbursement coverage in all markets. Reimbursement payors differ by market, and in certain markets may be national health bodies. On that basis, reimbursement qualification and regulatory approval process and outcomes may be subject to political influence, and thus political decisions may affect Brain+ operations. There is a risk that the above results in negative consequences for the Company's business activities and its earnings. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be low.
Market adoption and revenue
The level of acceptance and usage of digital therapeutics are subject to various factors, including the health care system, prescribers and patients and their readiness or lack of same to embrace digital therapeutics. Brain+ also works in disease areas of predominantly elderly and not digitally savvy patients and caregivers, which could pose challenges in using and understanding the concept of a digital therapy. These factors could result in a slower than expected market uptake and achievement of target sales. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be high.
Product liability
Considering that Brain+ operates in the pharmaceutical industry, risk arise with product liability. There is a risk that the Company will be held liable for any adverse events such as side effects or incidents related to the clinical trials, even in cases where clinical trials are conducted by an external party. Such events could delay or stop the further product development, delay or limit commercial use of the products, lead to penalty payments or other claims, including claims based on product liability being made against the Company. There is a risk that the Company's insurance coverage would not be sufficient cover the claims made based on the product liability. Such claims cloud have a material effect on the Company's financial position. There is also a risk that such adverse events affect Brain+ negatively in terms of reputation, which in turn risk undermining confidence in the Company's products from customers regulatory bodies and payers. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be low.
Dependency of key staff
Brain+ is dependent on skilled and experienced persons to conduct its business and maintain permits. The management consists of a highly experienced team where each member independently being very important for the continued development and growth of the Company. It is only the contract with the CEO that contains a non-compete clause. There is a risk that loss of one or more key members of staff would have adverse short-term consequences for the Company's business operation and its financial results. There is a risk that Brain+ needs to recruit staff to replace key personnel, which can be a costly process, in terms of time and money. There is a risk that the Company will incur increased expenses as a result. There is also a risk that the Company cannot replace staff. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be medium.
Competition
It is expected that in the future there will be many hundreds of digital therapeutic companies developing new solutions for different disease areas, targets and target groups, and there is, therefore, a high probability that new competitors will enter this field as the digital therapeutic industry matures and becomes more lucrative. The competitive landscape for digital therapeutic companies that go through the full regulatory and reimbursement pathway is not yet crowded, but competition is increasing. Big Pharma- and MedTech companies may develop their own digital therapeutic solutions and
Rights Issue | 47 | Brain+ A/S
may have access to a different level of funding than Brain+ and therefore may be able to allocate major resources to such solutions and gain competitive advantages. The non-regulated "digital health" space is more competitive with literally hundreds of thousands of health Apps. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be medium.
Currency
Brain+ CST - Therapist Companion has been launched in Denmark and the Company is planning to enter other markets, such as Germany, UK and the US during the coming years. There is a risk that sales revenues will decrease in connection with invoicing and receiving payments in foreign currency. There is a risk that exchange rates will change significantly and that revenues from Brain+ future customers will be negatively affected by changes in exchange rates. If, for example, the Danish kroner, which is the Company's accounting currency, increases in value in relation to the Euro, there is a risk that the Company's revenues from German customers will decrease. This in turn entails a risk of a decline in Brain+ operating profit. The Company has not made any efforts to hedge any currency risk. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be low.
Financing
Since the start of operations, Brain+ has had limited revenue and is still in a development phase with ongoing R&D projects. The Company launched its first product in November 2022 and realized its first sale in December the same year. Despite commercial launch of the first dementia product, sufficient market adoption to generate revenues sufficient to cover the Company's operating cost is subject to risk. There is a risk, that in the future, the Company will not have sufficient revenue or positive cash flows to finance its operating cost and investments. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient financing, the Company's ability to invest to maintain the competitiveness of its offering may be affected, as well as its financial position. Factors such as success of development of products, commercial acceptance by the market, obtaining of grants and possible strategic investments may affect the Company's future capital needs. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium. If the risk were to materialize, Brain+ considers the potential negative impact to be high.
Risks related to the Company's shares and the Rights Issue
Securities may fluctuate in value or liquidity
There are no guarantees that the share price in the Company will have a positive development and there is a risk that investors in the Company will, in whole or in part, get back the invested capital. Brain+ share price has historically been volatile and may continue to fluctuate as a result of Company specific events and external factors. The Company's share price can be negatively affected by various reasons such as variation in profits/losses in Brain+ interim reports, increase in interest rates, political decisions, fluctuation in exchange rates and a general worsening of the economy.
Average turnover per trading day in Brain+ share during the period 1 January - 31 December 2022 amounted to DKK 65,910.33. Average closing price in Brain+ share during the same period amounted to DKK 2.60 with the lowest closing price amounting to DKK 1.71 per share and highest closing price amounting to DKK 4.14 per share. The Company's share can drop in value by a maximum of 100 percent. An investor can thus lose part or all of his invested capital in the Company.
The share price may thus be affected by factors that Brain+ cannot, wholly or partly, influence. A potential investment in Brain+ should hence be preceded by a careful analysis of the Company, its competitors, general information about the industry, the general economic situation, and other relevant information. There is a risk that the Company's shares cannot be sold for a price acceptable to the holders, or at all, at any time. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is medium.
Rights Issue | 48 | Brain+ A/S
Unsecured pre-subscription and guarantee commitments
Several different parties have entered pre-subscription and guarantee commitments whereby they have undertaken to subscribe for approximately DKK 13.4 million, corresponding to approximately 85 percent of the initial part of the Rights Issue. However, these commitments are not confirmed or secured via prior transactions, bank guarantees or similar. Consequently, there is a risk that one or several of said parties will not fulfil their respective commitments. If the above-mentioned commitments are not met, this could negatively impact Brain+ ability to successfully complete the Rights Issue, which in turn could adversely affect the Company's business activities with negative impacts related to reduced financial resources propel the business activities forward going into the future. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low.
The securities are subordinated to most of the Company's liabilities
New and existing shares in Brain+ are subordinated the Company's liabilities. This means that if Brain+ is subject to any liquidation or bankruptcy, the shareholders normally receive payment after all other stakeholders with claims on the Company have been paid in full. As the shareholder will only have an unsecured claim against the Company, the shareholders may not recover any or all of their investment. Any potential investor should therefore be aware that an investment in the Company's shares and warrants entails a risk that the investors lose all or part of their investment if the Company for example carries out a restructuring, becomes liquidated, insolvent, or bankrupt. It is the Company's assessment that the probability of the risk occurring is low.

Each New Unit comprises of two (2) New Shares, two (2) New Warrants of series TO 2 and two (2) New Warrant of series TO 3.

The Subscription Period for New Units commences 10 May 2023 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 25 May 2023 at 5:00 p.m. CET.
Each shareholder registered in the Company's share register kept by VP Securities on 9 May 2023 at 5:59 p.m. CET will be allocated one (1) pre-emptive right for each existing share held. One (1) pre-emptive right entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) New Unit of a nominal value of DKK 0.20 (DKK 0.10 nominal value per share) at a Subscription Price of DKK 1.00 per New Unit. The pre-emptive rights have been approved for trading and admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark to the effect that they can be traded on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark with ISIN DK0062272282 during the period between 8 May 2023 at 9:00 a.m. CET and 23 May 2023 at 5:00 p.m. CET.

Upon expiry of the Subscription Period, any pre-emptive rights not exercised will lapse without value, and the holders of lapsed pre-emptive rights will not be entitled to any compensation.
Upon exercise of pre-emptive rights and payment of the Subscription Price, temporary units will be delivered through VP Securities by being recorded on subscribers' accounts with VP Securities. The temporary share units will not be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark under the temporary ISIN code.

Rights Issue | 59 | Brain+ A/S
Lock-up
Members of the Board of Directors and Management, who prior to the Rights Issue own approximately 11 percent of the shares in Brain+, have agreed to enter lock up agreements with Gemstone as counterparty, with customary exceptions which appear in the paragraph below, to not sell 90 percent of their current shareholdings. Any exceptions from the lock-up needs to be approved by Gemstone. The lock up period is valid until when the exercise period of TO 3 in March 2024 is completed. The lock-up agreements do also cover 100 percent of any unexercised pre-emptive rights in the Rights Issue and Warrants of series TO 2 and TO 3. The lock up will continue to account for 90 percent of all shares in the Company that the shareholder currently owns as well as any shares and warrants acquired through the Rights Issue. For information about the shareholdings affected by the lock-up, see table below.
Exceptions from lock-up
The shareholder may, without prior written consent from Gemstone, transfer shares to a parent company or another company in which the shareholder is the majority owner if the acquirer undertakes to, before the transfer takes place, send a confirmation document to Gemstone in which the acquirer undertakes in writing all of the shareholder's commitments and obligations in the lock up agreement, i.e. party change. The shareholder may also divest shares under the terms of a public takeover offer under the Takeover rules for certain trading platforms. The shareholder may also, with prior written consent from Gemstone, sell shares, provided that the sale of the shares takes place through a coordinated sale outside the marketplace where the Company's shares are listed and that the acquirer of the shares takes over the shareholder's obligations according to the lock up agreement. Gemstone may deny any such request for sale if Gemstone, in its unilateral judgment, sees a risk that the sale may damage the public's or shareholders' confidence in the Company or if the sale does not correspond to what can reasonably be expected due to the shareholder entering into the lock up agreement.

Significant changes in financial position
In March 2023, Brain+ secured a bridge loan of approximately DKK 3.7 million from 11 lenders. The loan enables the Company to maintain momentum during the period running up to the Rights Issue. All lenders has entered into agreements to subscribe for New Units in the Rights Issue with payment to be made through cancellation of the debt claims on the Company ("conversion"). Lenders converting their debt into subscription in the Issue will receive a risk premium of 20 percent on the loan amount. Subscription from the lenders will be on the same terms as other subscribers in the Rights Issue.
Apart from that, the Company has no significant financial contracts, including loan agreements and other financing agreements, to support day-to-day operations, and there are also no significant licensing obligations. There has been no significant change in the Company's borrowing and funding structure since the end of the last financial period, 30 June 2022.
Dividend policy
Brain+ does not have a dividend policy and no dividend is planned. Until the Company is generating a cash flow that covers the Company's financing needs for continued growth, the future financing of operations and growth is through new share issues, loans, income from agreements, or other. Consequently, Brain+ does not expect to declare dividends for the financial year 2023. Any future dividends, and the amount of such, are dependent on, among other things, the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and liquidity. Dividends are decided by the Annual General Meeting based on a proposal from the Board of Directors.

1CEO and Co-founder of the Company, the shares are held through the wholly owned company Baden-K Holding ApS and privately.
2Member of the Board. The shares are partially held privately and partially through 4T Impact ApS.
CEO and Co-founder, Kim Baden-Kristensen, has entered into agreements to sell all shares in Brain+ held by his holding company, Baden-K Holding ApS, to new investors who are taking on the most risk in terms of commitments into the Rights Issue in the form of pre-paid pre-subscriptions and Tranche 2 guarantee commitments. This has been deemed a necessity to secure the commitments. An additional, but secondary, consideration is to protect the future equity development of Brain+ A/S, due to the Danish 'Lagerbeskatning' which to Kim will come into full effect due to this Rights Issue. 'Lagerbeskatning' is effectively a tax on unrealized share gains, which a shareholder is then compelled to finance, often by selling shares to cover the tax expense. Baden-K Holding ApS has elected to sell all its 2,056,530 Brain+ shares for DKK 0.01 per share at arm's length to third parties subscribing in the Rights Issue, including to Board member Lars Terney who has entered into agreement to purchase 250,000 shares. Except for Board Member Lars Terney, no other acquirer has any relationship towards Kim Baden-Kristensen.
Rights Issue | 69 | Brain+ A/S
The sale of Baden-K Holding's shares have been mediated by the Company's financial advisers Gemstone Capital and Sedermera Corporate Finance as a bonus to investors providing commitments in Rights Issue. Summary of the acquirer of Baden-K Holding's shares is listed in the table below. None of the buyers will own more than five percent of the outstanding shares in Brain+ as a result of the purchase of shares from Baden-K Holding ApS. Thus, Baden-K Holding ApS will no longer hold any shares in Brain+. Kim retains all his 573,886 privately held shares and has committed to subscribe for additionally 60,000 more shares in the Issue. Kim's private shareholding corresponds to approx. 3.7 percent of the shares in the Company. The share transfer will take place the latest of one (1) business day before the Subscription Period commence and 1 May 2023. This to ensure that the transfer takes place after the record date for receiving pre-emptive rights.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 13 April 2023, it was resolved to cancel the existing warrant program issued to Gemstone in connection with the IPO and to replace it with a new. The new warrant program includes 250,000 warrants, each granting the right for the warrant holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in Brain+ of nominal DKK 0.10. The subscription price for the warrants is set to DKK 0.665 per share. Warrants can be exercised in one or several rounds until 1 April 2028 however at each round a minimum of 70,000 warrants shall be exercised, unless in case of exercise of any remaining warrants. For additional information, please see the Company's articles of association and appendix 4.3 to the articles of association.
Warrant program to CEO and other key personnel
On the Extraordinary General Meeting on 13 April 2023, it was resolved that the Company implement a warrant program to attract and retain key employees in order for the Company to fulfil its objectives. The warrant program consists of maximum 8,366,745 warrants, however maximum 15 percent of the outstanding shares after the Rights Issue with anti-dilution protection against the dilution from the warrant exercise of series TO 2 and TO 3. The protection ensures that the warrant program continuously accounts for 15 percent of the outstanding shares in the Company also after the exercise of TO 2 and TO 3 warrants. Each warrant within the program gives the holder the right to subscribe for one new share in the Company of nominally DKK 0.10 to a subscription price of DKK 0.665.
