EPTI : communicates a summary of the group’s liabilities after significant divestments

The board of directors of EPTI AB (publ) ("EPTI" or the "Company") decided on 24 April 2023 to adopt a new strategic direction, which means that EPTI will become a pure investment company with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Part of the new strategy was to divest the Company's business area EPTI Service and divest other holdings that are not deemed compatible with the new strategy. EPTI has divested the operations in the business area EPTI Service, which has reduced the group's debts by approximately SEK 50 million, which was completed on 30 August 2023 when all shares in Adhype AB ("Adhype") were divested.

After the end of the period, EPTI has reduced the group's debts by approximately SEK 50 million by completing the divestment of the business Talnox Group AB ("Talnox"), with its wholly owned subsidiary Actea Consulting AB. The purpose of the sale was to reduce the group's debt ratio and reduce the group's debts to credit institutions. The purchase price amounted to SEK 15 million on a cash and debt-free basis and the final liquidation amounted to one (1) kroner.

In addition, EPTI has divested all shares in the group company Adhype AB ("Adhype"), the final purchase price was approximately SEK 9.6 million and EPTI assessed that the divestment was beneficial for the Company and enabled further amortization of debts to credit institutions.

EPTI's subsidiary InBanner AB ("InBanner") has an outstanding debt of approximately SEK 5.1 million to one of InBanner's shareholders. The intention is for the debt to be offset against newly issued shares in InBanner.
EPTI announced on September 4, 2023 that the portfolio company Linky AB (publ) ("Linky") completed a financing round of approximately SEK 11 million at a post-money valuation of approximately SEK 46 million. EPTI's holding in Linky amounts to 68 percent of the votes and capital after the financing round, which means that the book value amounts to approximately SEK 31 million according to the valuation principle "Latest transaction".
