The initial focus will be on improving the company's commercial offering, organizational efficiency, and financial stability, with the aim of enhancing company performance over the next 12–24 months.

Katalysen's board of directors has decided to conduct a directed share issue, deviating from shareholders' preferential rights, by issuing 510,000 new shares to three investors, including two new shareholders. One of the new investors is Lars Lönnquist, a seasoned investment professional with extensive experience in the Swedish capital markets. The subscription price is set at SEK 5.50, reflecting a 2.1% discount compared to the recent average market price. The board believes this approach is more favorable than a rights issue due to current market volatility and associated costs. The directed issue increases the total number of shares to 10,851,764 and the share capital to SEK 1,410,729.32, resulting in a dilution of approximately 4.7% for existing shareholders. The board considers this method to be the most efficient for financing the company's development.

The financial report outlines Katalysen Ventures AB's performance and strategic developments. The total portfolio market value decreased by 1.4% to 139 SEKm, while core investments grew by 5.1% to 104 SEKm, now constituting 75% of the total portfolio. The company reported a net sales increase from 0 to 573 SEK thousand in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, although it still recorded a loss after financial items. Notably, the company's solidity remained stable, and the number of outstanding shares increased. Key events included the addition of S4DX and VALEGA as core investments, a strategic collaboration with Dividend Sweden, and several share issues to raise capital and expand the shareholder base. The CEO, Anders Dahlgren, emphasized the company's focus on building long-term portfolio value through active ownership and strategic investments. He highlighted the increase in core investment value and the company's success in creating substantial portfolio value under its business model. The report also mentioned the company's efforts to strengthen its organization and its plans for potential exits from investments in 2026.

Under 2025 har Katalysen förbättrat sin kommunikation med kapitalmarknaden, vilket har lett till ökad handelsaktivitet och fler nya aktieägare. VD Anders Dahlgren uttrycker glädje över det ökade intresset och ser det som ett bevis på att företagets strategi uppskattas. Inför 2026 planerar Katalysen en viktig hel- eller delexit i sin portfölj för att frigöra kapital för nya investeringar och stärka sin finansiella plattform. Dahlgren noterar också att det finns tecken på förbättrade marknadsförutsättningar för onoterade bolag, vilket kan gynna både företagets portfölj och aktieägare.

Katalysen's board of directors has decided to conduct a directed share issue of 454,546 new shares to two strategic investors, deviating from shareholders' preferential rights. One of these investors, Daniel Hill from Colline Advisory, will become a new shareholder and strengthen Katalysen's investment team with his expertise in capital markets and fundraising. The subscription price is set at SEK 5.50, reflecting a 4.7% discount from the recent average market price, deemed fair given current market conditions. The board opted for a directed share issue over a rights issue due to market volatility and the associated costs and time of obtaining subscription commitments. This approach is considered the most efficient for financing the company's development. The new issue will increase the total shares and votes from 9,887,218 to 10,341,764, resulting in a 4% dilution for existing shareholders.

Over the past few years, Katalysen has focused on developing its core holdings through active ownership and support, achieving significant results despite market challenges. By the end of 2025, Katalysen had successfully met five out of six strategic targets, primarily increasing Net Asset Value through operational progress in key companies like Valega and InvitePeople. The company also completed new transactions, expanded its team, and grew its shareholder base by over 4,000. Although a larger exit wasn't achieved, smaller partial exits were completed, and several investments are now exit-ready. Looking forward to 2026, Katalysen aims to strengthen investor relations, finalize two new Venture Targeter cases, increase Net Asset Value to about SEK 280 million, and execute two exits. Key investments are progressing well, with InvitePeople and Valega showing strong momentum. The company is also exploring new opportunities, including a significant Nordic project. Katalysen enters 2026 with a mature portfolio and enhanced capabilities, expressing gratitude to shareholders and partners for their support. CEO Anders Dahlgren extends holiday wishes and looks forward to a successful year ahead. For more information, contact Anders Dahlgren at ad@katalysen.com or visit www.katalysen.com.

Katalysen is expanding its platform in alignment with the maturity of its core investments and changes in the market environment. This expansion aims to enhance Katalysen's ability to create value and execute exits effectively.

Per Järnebrink, with extensive entrepreneurial experience, will focus on commercialisation and international expansion, and help establish Katalysen’s Enablers Club. Oscar Chröisty, with a background in strategy and organisational transformation, will support strategic inflection points, particularly for Valega. The expanded team of Hands-On Experts includes Christian Holmer, who will support life sciences companies QuTEM and S4DX; Chris Tornblom, who will assist with market positioning and governance; and Daniel Hill, who will focus on fundraising and strategic execution for Valega and another venture. Andreas Dahlén, with experience in public policy and investment strategy, also joins this expert group. This team expansion underscores Katalysen's commitment to being a collaborative investment partner, providing strategic guidance and access to international expertise, beyond just offering capital.

Styrelsen har beslutat att genomföra en riktad emission som innebär att bolaget får cirka 4 000 nya aktieägare. Denna metod bedöms vara mer kostnadseffektiv än andra alternativ. Styrelsen har utvärderat olika sätt att öka spridningen i ägarkretsen och kommit fram till att en riktad emission till Dividend Sweden AB, som planerar att dela ut 75 procent av aktierna till sina aktieägare, är mest fördelaktig. Detta beslut anses ligga i både bolagets och aktieägarnas bästa intresse, trots att det innebär att man frångår aktieägarnas företrädesrätt. Emissionen leder till en ökning av antalet aktier och aktiekapitalet, samt en utspädning om cirka 2,9 procent för befintliga aktieägare. Transaktionen är beroende av att Dividend Sweden AB:s extra bolagsstämma godkänner utdelningen av aktierna.
