Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014

Stockholm, Sweden, 22 August 2025 – Aonic AB (publ) (the “Company” or “Issuer”) has, following a bookbuilding process, successfully placed subsequent senior secured bonds in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 55 million under the existing senior secured callable floating rate bonds due in October 2027 (the “Subsequent Bonds” or the “Subsequent Bond Issue”). The transaction was met with strong demand from both new and existing institutional investors, which resulted in an oversubscribed book and the Subsequent Bonds to be placed at a price of 104.75% of par.  

The net proceeds from the Subsequent Bond Issue will, alongside cash on balance sheet, be used to finance a previously announced acquisition of a research technology business (the “Contemplated Acquisition), which is expected to be completed by early September 2025.

As communicated in a separate press release on 18 August 2025, the Subsequent Bonds will initially be issued as separate bonds under an interim ISIN but, upon completion of the Contemplated Acquisition and corresponding release of the proceeds of the Subsequent Bonds, be exchanged for additional bonds under the Company’s up to EUR 125 million senior secured callable floating rate bonds issued on 18 October 2023 (the “Existing Bonds”). Following completion of such mandatory exchange, the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Bonds will be EUR 125 million.

Settlement of the Subsequent Bonds is expected to be on or about 29 August 2025. The Company intends to initially apply for admission to trading of the Subsequent Bonds on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and following the mandatory exchange, on the corporate bond list of Nasdaq Stockholm. 

Pareto Securities AB acted as global coordinator and joint bookrunner and Nordea Bank Abp acted as joint bookrunner in connection with the subsequent bond issue. Roschier Advokatbyrå AB and DLA Piper UK LLP acted as legal advisors in connection with the subsequent bond issue.
