As previously announced, ABGSC is acting as stabilisation manager in connection with the offer to acquire shares in the Company and the listing on Nasdaq First North Premier (the ”Offering”), and ABGSC may, acting as a stabilisation manager, effect transactions aimed at supporting the market price of the shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market.
Such stabilisation transactions may be effected on Nasdaq First North Premier, the OTC market, or otherwise, at any time during the period starting on the date of commencement of trading in the shares on Nasdaq First North Premier and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. ABGSC is however not required to undertake any stabilisation, and there is no assurance that stabilisation will be undertaken. Stabilisation, if undertaken, may furthermore be discontinued at any time without prior notice.
