Management report

There we go, the last quarter of that very peculiar year is

done and dusted. A very volatile year where the overall

portfolio has weathered the storms well and where

Babylon and Voi have contributed a lot for obvious

reasons. Overall, the NAV per share was up 22% in

USD terms. We were very active in funding our port-

folio companies as well as engaging in a series of new

investments, especially through our newly started scout

program. We completed a rights issue during the sum-

mer, changed our name, moved home to Sweden after

22 years in the Atlantic. Feels super good.

As has been clear for a while our largest investments

today are Babylon, BlaBlaCar, Voi and Gett, and these

are naturally the largest contributors to the movement of

Per Brilioth, Managing Director

our share price in the short to medium term. We believe

all of them provide large upside potential. However, in the

same way that these four holdings were small in relation

to Avito until early 2019, we believe there is plenty to look

forward to in the rest of the portfolio that overtime will

grow into a size where they also will be important con-

tributors. Three exciting next generation holdings in the

portfolio are SWVL, Dostavista and Booksy. While small

in the shadow of the four big ones today I believe they all

have the potential to double and then double again over

the next 3-4 years upon which they collectively could be

worth some USD 500 mln, and thus be very important

contributors to the share price. SWVL presented at our

CMD and I would encourage you to look at the founder

Mostafa Kandil's presentation. At our next CMD we will

endeavor to have both Booksy and Dostavista present.

Many of you know that I am a tennis maniac, so here we go on me trying to map our portfolio in tennis players. Google, Facebook and Amazon are the super established stars like Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Serena Williams. Our "old" darling of Avito is up there with those, maybe

a Dominic Thiem? We don't have those in our portfolio as we are looking for more emerging players with more upside movement. Babylon, BlaBlaCar, Voi and Gett are established but still have their best in front of them. Much like Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Naomi Osaka, all top talents in the world but still to dominate. They will for sure win many many grand slams and each of them has the opportunity to become the biggest in the world, a number one.

Below our lead quartet of stars we have the nextgen crowd of SWVL, Dostavista and Booksy. In the tennis world these are Jannik Sinner, Sebastian Korda, Lorenzo Mussetti or Cori Gauff. Higher risk here, we don't know for certain that they will reach number one but they are for sure out there swinging with that ambition.

However, our portfolio is also full of juniors, players that are yet to even reach the top hundred. The best junior in the world is the Dane Holger Rune. On the girl side we find another Dane: Clara Tauson. We have a dozen Holger Runes and Clara Tausons in the portfolio. Look them up when you are next tuning in to a tennis tournament and you will be amazed how these teenagers play…

Booksy

During the quarter we participated in a new funding round at Booksy. We put in another USD 6 mln as part of a USD 70 mln round led by Cat Rock Capital. This funding round comes on the back of a 1500% revenue increase over the last three years and the recent merger with Versum. The Booksy app now has more than 13 million consumers actively using the app. We are super excited about Booksy and look forward to continue to support them over the coming years.

Voi

Voi pulled away from the rest of the European e-scooter crowd by killing it in the UK and thus became the target for US 800k gorilla investment capital. The company closed a USD 160 mln funding round led by Raine Growth.

We have invested in Voi since 2018 and we continue to be impressed by the speed at which the team is iterating and improving on product and operations. We see Voi as the winner in this multi-billion dollar industry and consider ourselves fully part of the team. We have won the most contracts with cities, we are winning against the competition in pretty much all markets and, with this financing round, we have the capital to deliver on our growth vision. 2021 will be an exciting year.

Through a combination of advanced e-scooter technology, increased rider adoption and better operational practices, Voi achieved significantly more rides per active scooter than ever before. By introducing swappable batteries, integrating more sustainable fleet management infrastructure and switching to renewable energy to power our operations wherever possible, Voi has reduced the already minimal environmental impact of e-scooters even further. This funding will help us to continue to offer an efficient and sustainable e-scooter service, while providing people with mobility they can rely on.

Babylon

During the quarter we announced a USD 100 mln financing in Babylon Holdings Limited ("Babylon") with a USD 35 mln investment, primarily in the form of convertible notes. The convertible notes are expected to convert into equity in connection with Babylon's next equity financ- ing. The full USD 100 mln round has been invested in Babylon through Global Health Equity AB (publ) ("Global Health Equity"), a newly established SPV to VNV Global. Following the transaction, VNV Global owns 37.4% of Global health Equity.

Management report

We are excited to invest additional capital in Babylon alongside other new investors. All in all, we have now invested almost USD 128 mln from our own balance sheet and another USD 65 mln have been invested from other investors in Babylon through Global Health Equity. This financing will allow Babylon to continue to fuel its strong growth that we have seen since their series C fundraising in 2019. We look forward to continuing to support Babylon and believe that the visibility into the company's vast potential will increase significantly over 2021 and beyond.

This raise is positive for VNV Global for a variety of reasons:

  1. Our largest holding gets funded.
  2. VNV Global shareholders enjoy the leverage from the compensation structure that we receive from the SPV.
  3. We establish yet another funding route for our portfo- lio companies which I believe will open up more later stage deal flow for us to look at.

2021

What does 2021 hold in store for us? Well the outlook certainly seems a little brighter than over the past 9 or so months. The vaccine rollout is starting to gain momentum and hopefully it helps bring us back to some sort of normality.

On the back of this improved outlook, we enter 2021 with a strong pipeline of potential investment opportuni- ties, both within the existing portfolio as well as in a few new names.

I am very excited by our portfolio, and sense strong performance both from the large contributors of 2020 and from the constituents that have had a slower year on the back of covid. The mobility plays that have been slowed on the back of covid are all in a strong position relative to their competitors and hence have opportunities to be aggressive in this hopefully last inning of the pandemic before the vaccine fights it down.

We are also seeing interesting new deal flow. Both in the existing macros but increasingly also in the intersection of network effects and climate change. We have done a couple of investments during the past year which fits here, they are small and we will be able to talk more about them later. My sense is that there are more to come. Companies that check the box of their product becoming better with every new user, high barriers to entry are being built and that are in demand because of their markets increasingly need to operate as climate efficiently as possible.

Thanks for being with us on this journey. And here's to either Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Zverev or Osaka reaching number one, to Lorenso Musseti, Sebastian Korda, Cori Gauff and especially Jannik Sinner going into top ten and most exciting to see the Danish youngsters beat up one of the established players and enter top 100.

Finally, here in the dawn of 2021 when we depart a dark period like then one we have been through and looking onto a brighter 2021, reciting Amanda Gorman's poem from last week seems relevant (also in many ways for the investment style we run):

"For there is always light,

if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it."

For further information about the portfolio companies please see: VNV Global's website

Current portfolio

During the fourth quarter of 2020, global markets have continued to see volatility on the back of the global outbreak of Covid-19 earlier in 2020. During the quarter most countries saw increased infection levels as well as reimposed restrictions but at the same time, positive news flow regarding vaccine development and roll out, kept market sentiment positive. VNV Global's portfolio companies, to various degrees, have seen direct and indirect effects on their operations due to Covid-19.

Babylon

During 2020, Babylon has continued to expand its services across markets and have also continued to see an elevated demand of their services on the back of Covid-

19. In the US, Babylon has launched clinical services to approx. 3 million Americans in California, New York, Iowa, Missouri and Nevada with more to come. Babylon also launched a partnership with Mount Sinai Health Partners to serve 8.6 million New Yorkers. Babylon also expanded its service in Southeast Asia to six additional countries, now covering nearly 10 million Prudential members.

Babylon also invested in Higi, a consumer health engagement company, to increase access to Babylon services through 10k community and retail units within 5 miles of over 75% of the US population.

In the UK, Babylon is now the largest and fastest growing GP practice with some 92k connected patients. During the fourth quarter 2020, Babylon delivered

11.5k daily consultations, up 49.4% yoy. Global regis- trations reached 6.7 million, up from 3.8 million as per year-end 2019.

BlaBlaCar

Due to the different measures governments across Europe have introduced to limit the spread of Covid-19, BlaBlaCar has seen direct negative effects on the activity on their platform during 2020. In March, BlaBlaCar temporarily suspended all bus operations, on the back of this situation and is expected to resume operations as soon as practically. BlaBlaCar's main ride-sharing business has continued to operate, but given the measures in place across Europe during the second quarter, activity was very low in April/May. In June 2020, search intent on the BlaBlaCar platform in Spain and France recovered and surpassed levels during the same period in 2019. Recovery progressed throughout 2H20 but saw a slowdown due to second wave-related restrictions towards the end of 2020. BlaBlaCar has a strong financial position and has taken well balanced decisions during these volatile times, throughout 2020.

BlaBlaCar ended the fourth quarter with 102.0 mln members. During the fourth quarter of 2020 BlaBlaCar noted 20.7 mln passengers, which is a -42.7% decrease on the same quarter in 2019, but an increase of 44.8% compared with the third quarter 2020, severely impacted by new Covid-19 related lockdowns that effectively paused BlaBlaBus during November and December 2020.

Voi

During the fourth quarter 2020, Voi announced a new USD 160 mln funding round led by Raine Growth. VNV Global participated with a smaller ticket and remains the largest shareholder with 25.5% fully diluted. During the fourth quarter Voi continued to perform well and won several new licenses, primarily in the UK, where the company has a strong market leading position. Despite increased Covid-19 related restrictions during 4Q20 across Europe, Voi grew the number of rides by 50% compared to the same quarter 2019. Total number of rides were up 35% during the full year compared to the

full year 2019. At year-end 2020, Voi estimates that they have a pan-European market share of licensed scooters of >50%, including approx. 80% in the UK.

Gett

During the fourth quarter, Gett raised an addition USD

15 mln as an extension of the previously communicated USD 100 mln fundraising during 2020. Despite Covid- 19, the company performed according to its pre-Covid budget. Gett is continuing its transformation to become a B2B SaaS business solely focused on corporate ground transportation. With this transformation, Gett is less of a competitor to the consumer focused ride hailing businesses and is instead using their supply on its platform, e.g. Lyft in the US.

Booksy

During the fourth quarter 2020, Booksy closed a new larger USD 70 mln funding round, that significantly revalued the company compared to VNV Global's earlier mark. VNV Global participated with USD 6.0 mln in the round. The company has performed well during 2020 despite negative impact due to Covid-related restrictions.

New investments during the fourth quarter HungryPanda

During the fourth quarter, VNV Global invested, through Piton Capital, USD 12.9 mln in HungryPanda, the global leader in online Asian food delivery outside Asia. Hungry­ Panda is available to customers in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, the UK and US.

Liquidity management

The Company also has investments in money market funds, as part of its liquidity management operations. As per December 31, 2020, the liquidity management investments are valued at USD 2.12 mln (2019: 20.66), based on the latest NAV of each fund and bond's market value.

Covid-19 impact on the investment portfolio

During 2020, global markets have continued to see volatility on the back of the global outbreak of Covid-19 and everyday life in most cities and countries was disrupted due to the virus and related actions taken by governments to prevent further spread starting in late 1Q20. VNV Global's portfolio companies, to various degrees, have seen direct and indirect effects on their operations due to Covid-19 to date and differs from company to company. During 2020, mobility and travel-related businesses have, as an example, seen a direct negative effect given the significant impact on domestic and international travel (both ground and air) across the globe, while businesses in the digital health space currently are seeing unprecedented demand for their services and products. During the fourth quarter 2020, the vast majority of revaluations have been driven by expanding market multiples.

The fair value of financial instruments is measured by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabili- ties (level 1).
  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

See Financial report H1 2020/section "Business combination under control: Accounting policies" for more information.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, VNV invested an additional USD 35.2 mln in Babylon through Global Health Equity AB which was already classified as a level 3 investment and Dostavista has been transferred from level 2 to level 3. The level 3 investments are either based on valuation models, usually using EBITDA and revenue multiples of comparable listed peers or transactions that include more uncertainty given the time elapsed since it closed or structure of the transactions.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as

little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level

2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Investments in assets that are not traded on any market will be held at fair value determined by recent transactions made at prevailing market condi- tions or different valuation models depending on the characteristics of the company as well as the nature and risks of the investment. These different techniques may include discounted cash flow valuation (DCF), exit-multiple valuation, also referred to as Leveraged Buyout (LBO) valuation, asset-based valuation as well as forward-looking multiples valuation based on compa- rable traded companies. Usually, transaction-based valuations are kept unchanged for a period of 12 months unless there is cause for a significant change in valuation. After 12 months, the Group usually derives fair value for non-traded assets through any of the models described above.

The validity of valuations based on a transaction is inevitably eroded over time, since the price at which the investment was made reflects the condi- tions that existed on the transaction date. At each reporting date, possible changes or events subsequent to the relevant transaction are assessed and if this assessment implies a change in the investment's fair value, the valuation is adjusted accordingly. No significant events in the portfolio companies, which have had an impact on the valuations, has occurred since the latest transactions except as described below. The transaction-based valuations are also frequently assessed using multiples of comparable traded compa- nies for each unlisted investment or other valuation models when warranted.

The outstanding convertible notes are valued at nominal value including accrued interest, which is deemed to correspond to fair value.

VNV Global follows a structured process in assessing the valuation of its unlisted investments. VNV Global evaluates company specific and external data relating to each specific investment on a monthly basis. The data is then assessed at monthly and quarterly valuation meetings by senior manage- ment. If internal or external factors are deemed to be significant further assessment is undertaken and the specific investment is revalued to the best fair value estimate. Revaluations are approved by the Board of Directors in connection with the Company's financial reports.

Babylon

As per December 31, 2020, VNV Global values its 10.6% direct ownership in Babylon, based on a forward-looking EV/Revenue model, at USD 353.5. mln. VNV Global has invested USD 92.6 mln in the company and it is classi-

fied as a level 3 investment. VNV Global has also invested USD 35.2 mln in Babylon through Global Health Equity AB and values its indirect exposure, classified as a level 3 investment, to USD 45.7 mln.

Notes to the financial statements

There are three running long-termshare-based incentive programs for management and key personnel in the VNV Global Group. The 2018 program is linked to the long-term performance of the Company's Net Asset Value, the 2019 and 2020 programs are linked to the long-term performance of both the Company's Net Asset Value and of the VNV Global share price.

Outstanding program 2018

Participants in the 3-year 2018 program purchased shares in the Company. For each purchased share, participants are entitled to receive additional shares, so-called performance shares, free of charge, subject to fulfillment of performance conditions set by the Board of Directors based on the Company's Net Asset Value.

The rights to receive shares automatically convert into common shares at the end of the program at an exercise price of nil. The participants do not receive any dividends and are not entitled to vote in relation to the rights to receive shares during the vesting period. If a participant ceases to be employed by the Group within this period, the rights will be forfeited, except in limited circumstances that are approved by the board on a case-by-case basis.

The fair value of the shares on the grant date was calculated on the basis of the market price of the Company's share on the grant date per share without adjustment for any dividends during the vesting period.

Outstanding programs 2019 and 2020

Similarly, to the 2018 program, participants in the five-year 2019 and 2020 programs purchased shares in the Company.

For each purchased share, participants are entitled to subscribe for newly issued redeemable common shares (2019 and 2020 Plan Shares) in the Company. Depending on the performance of both the Company's Net Asset Value and of the VNV Global share price, the 2019 and 2020 Plan Shares will be redeemed or reclassified as ordinary common shares, provided certain performance conditions have been fulfilled. If the performance conditions have not been fulfilled, then the plan shares will be redeemed.

The participants will be compensated for dividends and other value transfers to the shareholders. The participants are also entitled to vote for their 2019 and 2020 Plan Shares during the measurement period.

If a participant ceases to be employed by the Group within this period, the plan shares will be redeemed, unless otherwise resolved by the Board on a case-by-case basis.

The fair value of the 2019 and 2020 Plan Shares on the grant date was calculated on the basis of the market price of the Company's shares on the grant date and prevailing market conditions by using a Monte Carlo Valuation Method.

To carry through the incentive program, the Company subsidized the subscription price payable by the incentive program participants for the 2019 Plan Shares. The subsidy for LTIP 2019 amounted to USD 2.6 mln and for LTIP 2020 the subsidy amounted to USD 0.3 mln, social fees excluded, for the cost of acquiring plan shares. The cost for financing and acquiring plan shares is expensed directly.

The Company also compensated participants for the tax impact arising from the fact that the subscription price was below fair market value. The cost of this subsidy, social fee excluded, amounts to USD 1 mln for LTIP 2019 and USD 0.01 mln for LTIP 2020 and will be expensed over five years, treated as vesting expense.

On March 24, 2020, the Board of Directors determined that the development of the Company's Net Asset Value over the performance measurement period of LTIP 2017 (January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019), meets the so-called target level, whereby each savings share held by program participants throughout the vesting period (until March 31, 2020) was allocated of five performance shares free of charge. As a result, following adjustment for the redemption program of SEK 25 per share, participants in LTIP 2017 received a total of 330,750 shares in May 2020.

Accounting principles

In accordance with IFRS 2, the costs for the program, including social fees, will be reported over the income statement during the program's vesting period. The value is recognized in the income statement as a personnel cost on-line operating expenses, allocated over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The recognized cost corresponds to the fair value of the estimated number of shares that are expected to vest. This cost is adjusted in subsequent periods to reflect the actual number of vested shares. However, no adjustment is made when shares expire only because share price-related conditions do not reach the level.

Note 7

Events after the reporting period

An Extraordinary General Meeting in VNV Global held on January 13, 2021 resolved in accordance with the Board's proposals to amend the articles of association, to authorize repurchase of own shares, to authorize the issue of shares, and to issue new incentive shares to the participants of VNV Global's long-term incentive programs LTIP 2019 and LTIP 2020 as compensation for the dilutive effect of the rights issue 2020.

Key and Alternative

Performance Measures

Group

Alternative Performance Measures (APM) apply the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) guidelines.

APMs are financial measures other than financial measures defined or specified by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

VNV Global regularly uses alternative performance measures to enhance comparability from period to period and to give deeper information and provide meaningful supplemental information to analysts, investors and other parties.

It is important to know that not all companies calculate alternative performance measures identically, therefore these measurements have limitations and should not be used as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.

Definitions of all APMs used are found below.

IFRS-defined performance measurements (not alternative performance measurements)

PerformanceDefinitions measurements

Earnings per share, USD When calculating earnings per share, the average number of shares is based on average outstanding common shares. 2019 and 2020 Plan Shares, issued to participants in the Company's 2019 and 2020 long-termshare-based Incentive programs (LTIP 2019 and 2020), are not treated as outstanding common shares and thus are not included in the weighted calcu- lation. The issue of 2019 and 2020 Plan Shares is however recognized as an

Dilutions from share-based incentive programs affect the number of shares and only occur when the incentive program performance conditions of the respective programs are fulfilled.
