New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €8.75m (US$9.93m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (0.6% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (51% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$10m (€8.75m market cap, or US$9.93m). Board Change • May 20

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 7.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

SaveLend Group AB (publ) Launches Project Finance, New Way for Investors to Actively Choose Their Investment Projects SaveLend Group AB (publ) is launching its new product, Project Finance, on the savings platform. This solution allows investors to choose specific projects to invest in themselves. With Project Finance, investors can place larger amounts in selected real estate and corporate loans than was previously possible through the Company's interest robot. Prior to the launch, SaveLend Group conducted a pilot study and observed significant interest from the investor side. Projects presented via email and handled manually have received positive reactions and closed very quickly, indicating a strong demand for this type of investment opportunity. Project Finance has been available on the SaveLend Group savings platform since yesterday, November 13. Larger investments in individual projects entail greater risk than investing through SaveLend's saving strategies where the interest robot distributes capital across a large number of credits in different categories. The loans mediated through Project Finance fall under the crowdfunding license, and an investment in this product therefore requires a completed knowledge test and a four-day reflection period.
