On 11 July 2022, Peter Weiderman, Lars Brune, Sara Karlin and Katarina Sjögren (together the "Offeror Group"), through DeMina Skolintressenter AB ("DeMina"), announced a recommended public tender offer to the shareholders of Atvexa AB (publ) ("Atvexa") to transfer all their shares in Atvexa to DeMina for a consideration of SEK 88 per B-share ("the Offer"). On 11 August 2022, DeMina announced that the Offer is being completed and that the acceptance period has been extended until 19 August 2022. Following the extended acceptance period, the Offer has been accepted to such an extent that, following completion of the Offer, DeMina holds approximately 99.5 per cent. of the shares and approximately 99.9 per cent. of the votes in Atvexa. DeMina is not extending the acceptance period further and the Offer is now closed.

During the initial acceptance period, which expired on 9 August 2022, the Offer had been accepted by shareholders representing 3,720,797 B-shares in Atvexa, corresponding to approximately 30.6 percent of the shares and approximately 5.3 percent of the votes.
