This announcement does not constitute an offering memorandum or a prospectus as defined by Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1129 of 14 June 2017.

Completion of Trifork’s initial public offering

With reference to company announcement no. 9/2021 dated 17 May 2021 and company announcement no. 11/2021 dated 27 May 2021 as published by Trifork Holding AG (Swiss company registration number CHE-474.101.854) (“Trifork” or the “Company“) in connection with the initial public offering (the “Offering”) and admission to trading and official listing of Trifork’s shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S (the “Listing“), Trifork today announces the completion of the Offering.

Trifork has received notification from the Joint Global Coordinators that none of the termination rights of the underwriters provided for in the underwriting agreements dated 17 May 2021 have been invoked. The Offering and the Listing will therefore not be terminated or withdrawn.

Further, the Offering has today proceeded to completion and the admission to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen is now unconditional. The offer shares allocated to investors in the form of Temporary Purchase Certificates as described in company announcement no. 9/2021 dated 17 May 2021 and no. 11/2021 dated 27 May 2021 have been settled and prior hereto, the share capital increase of 940,233 new shares, each with a nominal value of CHF 0.10, has been registered with the commercial register of the Canton of Schwyz, Switzerland.

Following the share capital increase, the total nominal share capital of Trifork is CHF 1,974,489.90, divided into 19,744,899 shares, each with a nominal value of CHF 0.10. Each share carries one vote at Trifork’s general meetings. Updated Articles of Association are available at www.trifork.com.

The shares comprised by the Offering (including the new shares) are delivered in the form of Temporary Purchase Certificates under the temporary ISIN CH1113156488. On 2 June 2021, the Temporary Purchase Certificates are expected to be automatically exchanged in VP SECURITIES A/S for a corresponding number of shares in Trifork in the permanent ISIN CH1111227810. The last day of trading of the Temporary Purchase Certificates will be today, 31 May 2021, and the first day of trading of the shares will be 1 June 2021. In connection with the automatic exchange, the Temporary Purchase Certificates will cease to exist.

Accordingly, after trading has closed on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S today on 31 May 2021, all future trading in Trifork’s shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S will continue and settle under the permanent ISIN CH1111227810 under the symbol “TRIFOR”.
