New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.2% 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 Risks No financial data reported. Market cap is less than US$10m (kr.47.5m market cap, or US$7.07m). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.5% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.2% increase in shares outstanding).

DecideAct launches a range of turnkey solutions to support specific needs in the public sector DecideAct announced Municipalities and other public sector organizations are increasingly demanding digital solutions to improve the management of key strategic priorities. DecideAct can provide such plug and play solutions that can be configured with just a few clicks into customized solutions designed for each municipality's specific purposes and needs. And interest is high. On 23 August, more than 50 procurement managers from municipalities across Denmark will meet around this agenda. Recently, DecideAct has designed and launched turnkey solutions for strategic management in climate, procurement strategy, real estate strategy, budget settlement and other areas for the public sector. Furthermore, DecideAct offers a digital platform to power ecosystems where a network of connected organizations, including suppliers, distributors, customers, competitors, public authorities and other relevant entities, interact and work together to develop and deliver products and services. The company expects significant adoption in the public sector in the coming years, not least because the solutions can contribute to better resource utilization in focus areas where municipalities will constantly lack resources and need to work efficiently and smartly for the benefit of citizens and employees. The special approach with solutions for targeted focus areas has already borne fruit in the form of deliveries to e.g. Vejen Municipality in Denmark, which uses DecideAct's platform to manage their procurement strategy, allowing them to follow each action in real time from overall goal to execution and result, generate reports for the municipal council, specialist committees and management and visualize the status of initiatives and goals. The experiences from this will be shared at an online meeting on 23 August where more than 50 procurement managers from municipalities across Denmark will participate. Tillkännagivande • May 15

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: kr.64.5m (US$9.23m) 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 No financial data reported. Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (20% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (71% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (kr.64.5m market cap, or US$9.23m). Tillkännagivande • Jan 08
DecideAct Launches Dedicated Strategy Execution Software that Aligns Investment Funds and Portfolio Companies Around Optimized Collaboration and Performance DecideAct has developed a special module for its strategy execution software to address the unique challenges and priorities investors and their portfolio companies face. The new solution has been developed and tested with funds and portfolio companies during 2023. As investors help their portfolio companies grow through strategy operationalization and excellent day-to-day management, they are typically challenged with improving their portfolio companies' ability to execute and track the results of their strategic efforts. They lack a digital benchmark of best practices for strategy execution, cost optimization, and management practices. This is exactly what DecideAct can provide with its new dedicated solution. On the other hand, portfolio companies typically struggle to change their existing practices and processes around strategy execution to deliver profitable growth and return on investment and equity to shareholders. This requires time and effort that must be prioritized around the core business, and they lack a tool to convert their strategy documents into a quantifiable set of strategy initiatives to optimize operations and mission-critical priorities. These challenges are also solved with DecideAct's new strategy execution software. The DecideAct software is agnostic to methodology and operationalizes strategy tracking and cost optimization through a common operating model for PE funds or an individual approach tailored to the needs of each portfolio company. With a standard governance model and strategy framework implemented in the DecideAct platform, a PE fund can quickly create synergies between portfolio companies, such as best practices, innovation, and management models, which can translate into increased ROI. For portfolio companies, DecideAct's new software operationalizes strategy and cost optimization tracking through a single operating model for the entire company. The digital infrastructure for strategy execution provides greater agility, faster decision-making, and a collective reference point to improve learning and adaptation. In short, DecideAct offers a solution that addresses the pain points and priorities of investment funds and portfolio companies, creating full alignment and facilitating collaboration on corporate strategy, execution, monitoring, and long-term value creation.

Decideact Adds Promise-Based Execution, an Advanced OKR Tool, to Its Digital Platform and Expands Collaboration with Blue Note Consultants DecideAct has created a powerful new OKR-based digital tool for managing strategy execution. The tool is built on a groundbreaking approach called Promise-Based Execution, which has been successfully developed and deployed by Blue Note Consultants. Several fast-growing companies have already adopted the tool, and more are on the way. Promise-Based Execution (PBE) is a proven leadership philosophy and approach that combines strategy execution with daily business execution and individual performance management to engage people in the realization of strategic goals. It focuses on the commitments that people make to each other to achieve specific goals-based on the fact that people are more likely to follow through on their commitments when they have a personal stake in the outcome - when make a promise. PBE is tried and tested by numerous companies, and it has proven its value by significantly increasing the level of ownership and personal accountability for results, whilst creating alignment of goals between units for improving the collaboration around the execution of strategy. The result is a stronger execution culture founded on promises people make to each other. DecideAct, which markets a software solution that moves manual strategy execution and follow-up to a cloud-based platform, has now added PBE to the platform as a standalone module. There are various competing systems, but DecideAct is the only one on the market that has integrated PBE. At the same time, the software company is stepping up sales through partnerships, and the collaboration with Blue Note Consultants is being further strengthened in this regard. Claus Maron and Niels Beck, founders of Blue Note Consultants are leading experts in Strategy Execution and authors of the new book Promise-Based Execution - how to engage people in strategy execution and leverage the Power of Promises to achieve great results. DecideAct expects the collaboration with the consultancy to result in 15-20 new customers over the next 12 months. Three customers have already been landed, and five are in contract negotiations.

DecideAct A/S Launches Groundbreaking ESG Software Tool for Corporate ESG Strategy Planning and Execution DecideAct A/S has developed a software solution to help companies and organizations execute, manage, and monitor on ESG efforts (Environmental, Social and Governance). Given the developments in ESG, the business potential of the product is assessed as very large as it can be delivered as stand-alone as well as part of the strategy execution suite. Companies' ability to attract and retain employees, partners, customers, and investors is increasingly linked to ESG. At the same time, many companies find it difficult to implement and execute their ESG strategy sufficiently effectively. The problem is the same as with any other strategy execution; it is done manually using the available tools such as Excel and PowerPoint. DecideAct already helps companies worldwide with Strategy Execution Management (SEM) via a cloud solution that drives and monitors the execution of companies' strategies. Based on the company's proven SEM platform, DecideAct is now introducing a dedicated solution that can similarly help companies execute their ESG strategy and goals and integrate it with the company's overall strategy. The solution will be ready for deployment during October 2021. DecideAct's new ESG platform allows companies to effectively work on their ESG-related goals based on any ESG framework - or they can design their own based on two or more of the frameworks that already exist. DecideAct ESG comes with the following predefined frameworks: The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards; The UN Global Compact; The World Economic Forum Reporting Framework; The Nasdaq ESG Reporting Guide; Or the company's own customised framework or version. DecideAct's ESG solution, which will go to market from October 2021, can either be purchased separately as a dedicated stand-alone SaaS solution for ESG monitoring, management, and reporting, or as an integrated part of DecideAct's Strategy Execution Management solution.
