New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Swedish stocks, typically moving 9.3% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 04

Lasernet Group Announces New Brand Identity Lasernet Group (previously Formpipe Software AB) announced the launch of its new brand identity, marking a new chapter for the company as it moves forward under the Lasernet Group name. The new branding places the document at the centre of the company's visual identity, reflecting the central role documents play in every business. The redesigned logo highlights the document as a central element, symbolising Lasernet's mission to help organizations capture, organise, and deliver information to their customers. Like the platform, the broader brand identity is intentionally flexible, allowing the company to adapt visual elements such as colours, orientations, and layouts depending on how information needs to be presented. The brand also introduces Laser Red as its signature colour, complemented by a range of secondary colours designed to add contrast, dimension, and versatility across digital and print applications. While the visual identity is new, Lasernet's core mission remains unchanged: helping organizations manage documents efficiently, reliably, and at scale. Customers across industries rely on the Lasernet platform to build and optimise global document programs, often maintaining long-term partnerships as their document needs grow. More information about the new Lasernet brand can be found here: text-decoration:underlinehttps://www.lasernetgroup.com/about-us/brand-identity. Per previous announcements, the legal entity will continue as 'Formpipe Software AB' until after the April AGM meeting where it is intended to formally change the legal name to 'Lasernet Group AB'. This is a translation of the original Swedish version. In the event of any discrepancies between the two versions, the original Swedish version shall take precedence. Announcement • Mar 05

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Dividend per share is over 12x cash flows per share. Dividend yield: 59% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 29% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 29% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (dividend per share is over 5x earnings per share). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.9% net profit margin).
