Cyber Security 1 AB (publ), reg.no. 556135–4811 (“Cyber 1” or the “Company”), which is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market (“Nasdaq First North”), has today, subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), resolved to carry out an issue of shares and warrants ("Units") with preferential rights for existing shareholders of approximately EUR 1.774 million before issue costs (the "Rights Issue"). Upon full exercise of all warrants, Cyber 1 may receive additional issue proceeds of approximately EUR 1.774 million before issue costs. The Rights Issue is to 100 percent covered by external guarantee commitments from an external qualified investor. The Rights Issue requires approval at the AGM on 29 June, 2021. Notice to the AGM will be published in a separate press release.

Background and motive to the Rights Issue
In May 2020, the Cyber 1 filed for company reorganization. During the reorganization process, the Company, together with the appointed reorganization administrators and external advisors, has implemented savings measures and initiated strategic transformations of the business of the Cyber group.
 
With regard to the financial reorganization (debt write-down) and the conclusion of the reorganization process, and as communicated in press releases on 11 May 2021 and 12 May 2021, the Company has filed an application for composition hearings (Sw; ackordsförhandling), including a composition proposal entailing a twenty-five (25) per cent pay-out of the Company’s subordinated debt accrued before the commencement of the reorganization, equating to a write-down of seventy-five (75) per cent of the relevant debt. The composition hearings will take place in the Stockholm District Court at 15:00 CET on 7 June 2021. The Rights Issue is thus subject to (i) the Stockholm District Court deciding on a composition agreement in line with the Company’s proposal and (ii) shareholder’s approval at the AGM on 29 June 2021.
 
The motive for the Rights Issue is to contribute to the financing of the composition payment in order to conclude the reorganization process as well as to provide necessary growth capital for the continued operations of the Company's reorganized business.

CYBER1 Chairman Johan Bolsenbroek commented: “Following the positive Q1 2021 results, the company has made positive strides on the present and forward looking objectives for CYBER1. The Company has made progress on the legacy matters via the reconstruction and the filing of the court hearings. The proposed 75% write down is one of the final components to close on the historical challenges and to begin looking forward to the company’s strategic  journey ahead, based on a sound financial foundation. We believe that the current subscription price for this rights issue is attractive to existing and new shareholders, based on the initial reporting from Q1 2021 and discount to the current market price today. The rights issue is the catalyst for CYBER1 to propel itself forward and we are excited to bring new investors into our community.”
