Further to company announcement no. 6 of 24 March 2023, Ambu has successfully completed an accelerated bookbuild offering of 11,577,957 new B shares and 250,000 existing treasury B shares (in aggregate corresponding to approximately 5.3% of Ambu’s issued B shares), at a sales price of DKK 93 per share, raising gross proceeds to the Company of approximately DKK 1.1 billion. The board of directors of Ambu (the "Board") has today exercised its authorization in Article 9e(2) in Ambu’s Articles of Association, pursuant to which the Board is authorised to make share capital increases without pre-emption rights for the existing shareholders at a price not lower than market price, to increase Ambu's share capital by issue of 11,577,957 new B shares at a subscription price of DKK 93 per new B share.

The Offering was made pursuant to applicable exemptions from the obligation to publish a prospectus in a directed issue and private placement and subscribed for by eligible institutional and professional investors in Denmark and in certain other jurisdictions at market price and without pre-emption rights for Ambu’s existing shareholders. Ambu and the members of its Board and management have in connection with the Offering, agreed to undertake a lock-up commitment for 180 calendar days following settlement of the Offering (subject to certain exceptions).

CAPITAL INCREASE
Subject to settlement, the share capital increase will be registered with the Danish Business Authority and the share capital of Ambu will hereafter consist of 234,974,389 B shares of DKK 0.50 each, together with 34,320,000 A shares of DKK 0.50 each, equivalent to a registered share capital of DKK 134,647,194.5.

The new B shares represent approximately 4.5% of Ambu’s total registered share capital before the capital increase and will account for approximately 4.3% of Ambu’s total registered share capital upon completion of the capital increase.
