Midsummer Receives Grant of EUR 2.8 Million from the Ministry of University and Research to Develop Tandem Solar Cells Midsummer has been chosen by the Italian Ministry of University and Research to participate in a consortium with the aim to develop a new type of solar cell named "Quantum Dot CIGS/Perovskite Tandem". The "Quantum Dot Enhanced Lightweight Solar Cells" (QDELS) project aims to develop and validate a new production process for CIGS (Cu In Ga Se) solar cells with a tandem perovskite structure enhanced with quantum dots (QD). The ultimate objective is to develop and validate a new process to enhance the efficiency of CIGS (Cu In Ga Se) cells, surpassing conventional silicon cells in all parameters. For this purpose, Midsummer will receive a grant of approx. EUR 2.8m from the Ministry of University and Research for work and materials used in the tests. The project will run for four years starting this autumn and the total budget is EUR 7.5 million. Consorzio Hypatia and the National Research Council are the other two parties involved in the project. Midsummer has a subsidiary in Italy, Midsummer Italia, which owns and operates Europe's large facility for the production of thin film solar cells (in Bari), for which Midsummer has been awarded a total of EUR 22 million in grants from mainly the Italian investment authority Invitalia. The new R&D tandem cell project is separate from the Bari factory project and grants. Tillkännagivande • Nov 29

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.6% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (26% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.6% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (202% increase in shares outstanding).

This includes the opening of a new 50 MW factory in Italy and a 200 MW factory in Sweden. CEO Sven Lindström announced at the beginning of October that he intends to step down as CEO but to continue at Midsummer as Executive Vice President, Manager of Business Development and Manager of the product portfolio.

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: kr179m Forecast net loss in 3 years: kr110m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (91% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 91% This is considered a major 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 Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-kr119m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (29% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (91% increase in shares outstanding).

Midsummer Appoints Nominating Committee Midsummer has appointed members of the nominating committee for the company's annual general meeting in 2021. The nominating committee has been appointed in consultation with the five shareholders or shareholder groups by voting rights - who have expressed a desire to appoint a member to the nominating committee - according to shareholder data from Euroclear Sweden as per December 2, 2020 and other reliable shareholder information in accordance with the decision by the AGM. Chairman of the nominating committee is Peter Lindell, appointed by Cidro Förvaltning AB. The other members are Philip Gao, who represents his own and related parties' shareholdings, Sven Lindström, who is appointed by founders and shareholders who are employees of Midsummer, Jan Lombach, Chairman of the Board, who represents his own shareholdings, and Oskar Börjesson, appointed by Skandia fonder. Midsummer's CEO Sven Lindström being a member of the nominating committee is a deviation from the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. According to the Corporate Governance Code, the CEO should normally not be a member of the nominating committee. The reason for Midsummer deviating from the code in this respect, is that the company has changed its business model and that this necessitates new competencies into the Board. It is therefore important that the CEO is deeply involved in this year's nominating committee. In addition, Sven Lindström represents the third shareholder group in the company. The nominating committee has been appointed somewhat later than what follows from the Swedish Corporate Governance Code and the company's rules for the appointment of the nominating committee. It was concluded more appropriate to await the outcome of the recent share issues and consequent changes in the company's ownership structure so that a nominating committee representing the current ownership structure could be appointed. The decision to wait with the appointment of the new nominating committee was made in consultation with the previous nominating committee.
