On the Conversion Date, Alvotech will issue new shares to the holders that have exercised their right to convert their Convertible Bonds.

Based on the current exchange rate, Alvotech estimates that approximately 22.1 million new shares will be issued. Pursuant to terms of the Convertible Bonds, the newly issued shares shall be delivered no later than seven business days after the Conversion Date.

The Convertible Bonds were issued in two tranches, denominated in Icelandic krona (ISK) and U.S. Dollars (USD), respectively. The ISK denominated Convertible Bonds were listed on the Nasdaq First North growth market in Iceland under the symbol ALVCVB251220.

All holders of the ISK denominated Convertible Bonds (“Tranche A Bonds”) exercised their right to conversion. The aggregate value of these bonds, with accrued interest, is ISK 25,483,970,823 (USD 183,127,126 at the current exchange rate), which will be converted into ordinary shares at the conversion price of USD 10.00 per share, at the exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Iceland on June 27, 2024. Based on current exchange rates, Alvotech estimates that approximately 18.3 million new shares will be issued to holders of Tranche A Bonds.
