They have not been registered, and will not be registered, under the United States Securities Act 1933 (“the Securities Act”) or any provincial law in Canada, and may not, either directly or indirectly, be sold or offered for sale in the United States of America or in Canada or to any person resident there or on behalf of such a person other than in exceptional cases which do not require registration under the Securities Act or any provincial law in Canada. Nor is the offer aimed otherwise, either directly or indirectly, at any person whose participation requires additional prospectuses, registration or other measures than those required under Swedish law. Subscription applications which conflict with the above may be regarded as void. This prospectus may not be distributed to or in any country in which such distribution or the Offer (i) requires additional prospectuses, registration or other measures than those required under Swedish law, or (ii) contravenes the law, regulations or other provision in that country. Disputes or claims, of any type whatsoever, which arise in consequence of the contents or distribution of this prospectus or the Offer in general, as well as all associated issues, are to be settled exclusively by Swedish courts and exclusively through the application of Swedish Law. This prospectus contains pronouncements about future prospects which have been made by the Board of Directors of Wayfinder Systems and which are based on the Board’s knowledge of current circumstances in respect of the Group, market conditions and external factors in general. Information supplied in respect of future prospects is always hedged with uncertainty, and no assurances are given that estimates and forecasts relating to the future will be fulfilled. An investment in shares in Wayfinder Systems involves risk. Anyone contemplating investing in Wayfinder Systems is, therefore, urged to study this prospectus carefully, especially the section on Risk factors on pages 14–15. The Swedish prospectus has been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, Finansinspektionen, in accordance with Chapter 2 § 4 of the Trading in Financial Instruments Act (1991:980). The approval and registration do not mean that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority guarantees that the factual information in the prospectus is accurate or complete. This is a translation of a Swedish prospectus that has been prepared by the Board of Directors of Wayfinder Systems AB. In case of any discrepancies between the English and Swedish version, or, in any other context, the Swedish version shall have precedence. Certain figures in this prospectus have been rounded up or down. Wayfinder Systems AB intends to list the Wayfinder Systems AB share on the Nordic Growth Market NGM (“NGM”), provided NGM approval.
