PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

Under the terms of the Swedish Companies Act, shareholders of the Company may determine, at a general meeting of the company, not to pursue an action against a director or the Chief Executive Officer with respect to liability for damages to the Company.

 

The Company also maintains directors and officer’s liability insurance to insure our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities incurred based on their capacity as a director or an officer of the Company. The insurance covers economic loss including personal liability related to claims regarding an alleged act or failure to act in the individual’s capacity as a director or executive officer of the Company.

 

The underwriting agreement the Company will enter into in connection with the ADSs being registered hereby provides that the underwriters will indemnify, under certain conditions, the Company’s board of directors and its officers against certain liabilities arising in connection with the offering.

 

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Set forth below are the sales of all securities by the Company since our inception in March 2019, which were not registered under the Securities Act. The Company believes that each of such issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 701 and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

Following the acquisition of EWP Israel Ltd., or EWP Israel, as discussed below, on May 21, 2019, our shareholders approved a 50 for 1 split of our common shares.

 

Upon our inception in March 2019, we issued 2,500,000 common shares for no consideration. These shares were subsequently returned to the Company following the acquisition of EWP Israel, in May 2019. In connection with the acquisition of EWP Israel, we issued 28,839,250 common shares to the holders of EWP Israel’s ordinary shares.

 

On July 10, 2019, we issued a total of 6,355,594 new common shares, at a price of SEK 19.00 ($2.00) per common share, in our initial public offering on Nasdaq First North for gross proceeds of SEK 111.6 million (approximately $11.9 million).

Financial Statement Schedules:

 

All financial statement schedules have been omitted because either they are not required, are not applicable or the information required therein is otherwise set forth in the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto.

 

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

(b)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(c)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2)That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
