Stockholm, September 26, 2019

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - The Board of Directors of BTS GROUP AB (publ) has today, based on the authorization from the Annual General Meeting on May 15, 2019, decided to carry out a directed new issue of 10,428 Class B shares.

The newly issued shares will be used as part payment for the two previous acquisitions of Polaris Assessment Systems (Polaris) and Swiss Virtual Business School VBS AG (VBS). Of those shares, 6,295 shares are allocated to the seller of Polaris and 4,133 shares are allocated to the sellers of VBS. For more information on these two acquisitions, please see the press releases from February 28, 2019 and July 15, 2019, respectively.

The new share issue relates to final settlements of the initial purchase price of SEK 956,840 (Polaris) and SEK 727,408 (VBS) according to the acquisition agreements, which were also mentioned when the acquisitions were announced. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to secure part-financing of the two acquisitions in a time- and cost-effective manner.

The share prices, in accordance with the acquisition agreements, have been determined through a calculated volume-weighted average price per trading day for the company's B-share on Nasdaq Stockholm during a period of 30 trading days before each acquisition, corresponding to SEK 152 per share for Polaris and SEK 176 per share for VBS.

The total number of shares issued before the issue was 19,307,864. After the issue, there are a total of 19,318,292 shares. At the same time, BTS's share capital increases from SEK 6,435,955 to SEK 6,439,431.
