Background and reason for the Rights Issue

Based on university research, Acconeer has created a radar sensor that combines the best of existing radar technologies and opens up new possibilities for interaction between humans and technology. The radar sensor combines the low power consumption of pulsed radar systems with the high precision of coherent radar – all in a component of five times five millimeters. Acconeer launched its first product in 2018 and has since sold and shipped more than 500,000 radar sensors. The Company is now taking the step from a single-product company as the Company, together with the strategic partner Alps Alpine, develops the next generation of pulsed coherent radar sensor.

Acconeer's assessment is that the Company's radar was the first 60 GHz radar that has size, cost and power consumption which enable use of radar in consumer electronics. The uses of a radar sensor with these properties are innumerable. Acconeer's market, i.e. market for 3D sensors, is expected to continue to grow rapidly based on several industry trends such as 5G, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. Today, the sensors are based mainly on ultrasound, infrared light or camera technology. Acconeer does not need to create a new market but can replace existing solutions that all have their weaknesses.

In most areas, intensive development of new applications requires more advanced sensors, for example, gesture control, 3D reading and material recognition. During the first quarter of 2021, Acconeer signed a development agreement with Alps Alpine to develop the next generation of pulsed coherent radar sensor, with a view to a wide range of applications in the automotive, industrial and consumer industries, including mobile telephony.

Acconeer is ready for the next step in the Company's development and plans an offensive strategy to continue the commercialization of its first product generation and further develop its technology for the next generation of radar sensors. With this intensified development and commercialization strategy, the Company intends to take major steps towards realizing the potential around the Company's technology in radar sensors.

To support Acconeer's strategy described above, to commercialize its first product generation and further develop its technology for the next generation, the Company has decided to carry out the Rights Issue.

The net proceeds from the Rights Issue are intended to finance the Company for the next 24 months, which includes the following measures, arranged in order of priority with the estimated distribution of the issue proceeds indicated in parentheses:

  1. New projects within the framework of the Company's research and development and design of the next generation radar sensors A2 and A121 (approximately 70 percent).
  2. Initiatives within the framework of the Company's commercialization strategy of its first product generation A111 (approximately 10 percent).
  3. General working capital requirement (approximately 20 percent).

Terms of the Rights Issue

Those who are registered as shareholders on the record date, 29 November 2021, have the preferential right to subscribe for new shares in the Rights Issue in relation to the number of shares held on the record date. One (1) existing share in the Company entitles to one (1) subscription right. Ten (10) subscription rights entitle to subscription of one (1) new share, i.e., a subscription ratio of 1:10. In addition, investors are offered the possibility to subscribe for shares without subscription rights.

If not all newly issued shares are subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights, allotment of the remaining shares shall be made within the highest amount of the Rights Issue: firstly, to those who have subscribed for shares by exercise of subscription rights (regardless of whether they were shareholders on the record date or not) and who have applied for subscription of shares without exercise of subscription rights and if allotment to these cannot be made in full, allotment shall be made pro rata in relation to the number of subscription rights that each and every one of those, who have applied for subscription of shares without exercise of subscription rights, have exercised for subscription of shares; secondly, to those who have applied for subscription of shares without exercise of subscription rights and if allotment to these cannot be made in full, allotment shall be made pro rata in relation to the number of shares the subscriber in total has applied for subscription of shares; and thirdly, to those who have provided underwriting commitments with regard to subscription of shares, in proportion to such underwriting commitments. To the extent that allotment in any section above cannot be done pro rata, allotment shall be determined by drawing of lots.

The subscription price is SEK 60 per new share. Provided that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 116,912.5 by a new issue of a maximum of 2,338,250 new shares. In the event of full subscription, the Rights Issue will provide Acconeer with approximately SEK 140 million before deduction of issue costs.

Shareholders who choose not to participate in the Rights Issue will, provided that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, have their shareholding diluted by approximately nine (9) percent, but can financially compensate for this dilution by selling their subscription rights.

Subscription of shares shall take place during the period from and including 1 December 2021 to and including 15 December 2021. The board of directors has the right to extend the subscription and payment period. A possible extension of the subscription period shall be announced by press release no later than the last subscription day in the Rights Issue, i.e. 15 December 2021. Trading in subscription rights takes place on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including 1 December 2021 to and including 10 December 2021 and trading in paid subscribed shares (Sw. Betalda tecknade aktier) during the period from and including 1 December 2021 until the Rights Issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).

Subscription commitments, guarantee commitments and declarations of intent

Acconeer has received subscription commitments from a selection of the Company's major existing shareholders as well as representatives from the board of directors and management amounting to approximately SEK 29 million, corresponding to approximately 21 percent of the Rights Issue. Furthermore, the Company has entered into agreements on guarantee commitments of approximately SEK 90 million, corresponding to approximately 64 percent of the Rights Issue. The guarantee ensures, provided that subscription corresponds to at least the subscription commitments, that approximately 85 percent of the Rights Issue is subscribed and paid for. Neither subscription commitments or guarantee commitments are secured by bank guarantee, blocking funds, pledges or similar arrangements. For the guarantees, a guarantee commission of five (5) percent of the guaranteed amount in cash compensation is paid. No compensation is paid for the subscription commitments entered into.

Acconeer develops new smaller Entry Module targeting presence use case

By

After the success with XM132 Entry Module released last year, Acconeer now extends the Entry Module family with a smaller, lower priced version targeting the presence use case. The new module will be called Entry Module XM131 Presence and will be available on the market in Q1 2022.

Optimized for the presence use case, the Entry Module XM131 Presence will have a solderable design featuring the A111 radar sensor along with an ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller unit (MCU), working with 1.8V power supply. By only allowing 1.8V power supply the number of components is kept to a minimum, which enables a smaller form factor as well as a price set out to compete in a market segment traditionally dominated by technologies such as ultrasound or infrared sensors. In addition to lowering the price, reducing the number of components related to power regulation also minimizes environmental impact for customer products where 1.8V is already available in the system.

XM131 will come with a software specifically developed for the presence use case, which means that it will run a unique module server and have its own SDK. With a module and software specifically designed for presence applications a range of innovative use cases are enabled at a competitive price point. For example, XM131 can be used to detect people in a room or to trigger wake-up and lock functionality of devices. For customers who are interested in using the XM131, it is possible to already now start the evaluation based on XM132 in order to be ready for production soon after the launch of XM131 early next year. The new module will be available in tape-and-reel format, making it easy for customers to put it into mass produced products.

"Using Acconeer's new entry module XM131 opens up for a cost-efficient presence detection application, easy integration with optimized form factor. XM132 has been a great success and it will be exciting to see how the market receives the new entry module XM131" says Mikael Rosenhed, Head of Product Management.

The ARM Cortex M7-based XM112 High-Performance Module was released in December 2018, to let customers evaluate their use cases on an embedded system with high performance. In October 2019, the XM122 IoT Module was launched targeting connected battery-powered use cases, combining the A111 radar sensor with an ARM Cortex M4 MCU and integrated connectivity such as Bluetooth. The first module in the Entry family, XM132 was launched in September 2020 and has been very popular thanks to its integration-ready, solderable design.
