Significant events after the reporting period

● At the beginning of June, NextCell announced that the Company had agreed on a so-called top guarantee of a total of approximately SEK 8.0 million, corresponding to approximately 20.0 percent of the issue volume. Through the additional top guarantee, the Rights Issue is covered up to approximately 100 percent by subscrip­tion and guarantee commitments.

● At the beginning of June, the company published a supplementary prospectus due to the fact that it had entered into an agreement on a so-called top guarantee of a total of approximately SEK 8.0 million in the ongo­ing rights issue.

● At the beginning of June, NextCell announced that the company's Board of Directors, management and key employees, who have previously entered into subscrip­tion commitments of up to a total of approximately SEK 1.5 million, announced that they will register their interest in subscribing for units for a total of approxi­mately SEK 3.3 million, corresponding to 8.2 percent of the rights issue.

● The company announced in mid-June that the Data Safety Monitoring Board for the ProTrans-Young study had recommended the principal investigator, Professor Per-Ola Carlsson, to continue with treatment of children in the younger age group 7-11 years.

The recruitment of the 30 children aged 7-11 will begin in August 2024.

● In mid-June, NextCell announced the outcome of the rights issue.
