Guarantee compensation is paid with 12% of guaranteed amount. In the bottom guarantee, the fee is paid in cash, in the top guarantee in the form of shares.

Background and motives for the Rights Issue
Enersize provides analysis tools and consulting services for energy savings in compressed air systems. This is a significant market that most people are unfamiliar with. The energy cost of operating compressed air systems globally amounts to over 500 MEUR. The manufacturing industry is completely dependent on compressed air because of its many unique properties and the market for compressed air compressors is increasing by 5% per year. The maintenance of compressed air systems is substandard due to ignorance and that the suppliers of compressors, the giants in the industry, focus on selling more compressors. The savings potential based on Enersize's offer is 30-50% on average and the ROI is a few months. Enersize believes that maintenance of the compressed air systems is the least expensive way for companies to reduce their CO2 emissions in Sweden. In Germany, energy is twice as expensive and CO2 emissions are 35 times higher than Sweden.

In the long term, the Company's main competitors are suppliers of compressors. There are a few one-man companies and the like that are not considered to hinder Enersize's growth.

Enersize is now executing an expansion plan and has hired four salespeople in Sweden during March 2020 and is facing an expected sharp increase in sales as soon as the industry starts post the corona pandemic. The Company believes that the industry will become more cost-conscious in the wake of COVID-19, which will make the Company's offer even more attractive.

Enersize bases all sales on the LEAQS and Q + software and the customer benefit with the Company's products is proven. The products are also continuously being developed to improve performance with the goal of facilitating integration with third-party business and monitoring systems. The Company's strategy is to gradually increase the share of recurring software license revenues to create greater long-term financial stability and increase the margin.

The rights issue will secure working capital up to the expected positive cash flow during 2021. The issue proceeds will enable continued expansion in Swede through increased marketing and increasing the proportion of recurring revenue, and

• Increased sales work in collaboration with the Company's partners in Sweden.
• Establishment in Germany through own salespeople.
• Strategic business development work to maximize the Company's growth in the coming years.
• Further development of the SaaS products LEAQS and Q +, which have already demonstrated customer benefit and form the basis for all sales.

“It is a sign of strength by Enersize to be able to carry out a fully guaranteed rights issue in the current times. Our sales are growing sharply. Despite declining market due to COVID-19, sales in Q1 2020 were about three times as high as in Q1 2019. Sales in 2019 were more than twice as high as in 2018. Since two months, our sales force has grown by 300%. This is needed. In 2019, with our then limited resources, we were able to process only 50 customers globally. I estimate the number of potential customers only in Sweden to over 20,000. It is thus clear that the market is gigantic and our challenge is to reach out to potential customers and sharpen our offer to customers and partners. The rights issue gives us the financial muscle needed for this, ”says Anders Sjögren, CEO of Enersize.
