Notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Enersense International Plc Enersense International Plc Stock Exchange Release, 2 December 2022 at 7:00 p.m. Notice is given to the shareholders of Enersense International Plc (“Enersense” or the “Company”) to the Extraordinary General Meeting (“General Meeting”) to be held on Friday 23 December 2022 at 9:30 a.m. (EET) at Original Sokos Hotel Tripla Pasila, Fredikanterassi 1B, FI-00520 Helsinki, Finland, meeting room Eskola/Kaivola. The reception of persons who have registered for the meeting and the distribution of voting tickets before the meeting will commence at 9:00 a.m. (EET). The Company’s shareholders may exercise their shareholder rights also by voting in advance or by way of proxy representation. A. MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING At the General Meeting, the following matters will be considered: Opening of the meeting Calling the meeting to order Election of persons to scrutinize the minutes and to supervise the counting of votes Recording the legality of the meeting Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares On 2 December 2022, the Company completed the offering of EUR 26 million senior unsecured conditionally convertible notes due 15 January 2027 (the “Notes”) which were subscribed for by professional investors and eligible counterparties. The Notes will carry a coupon of 7.0 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear in equal instalments on 15 January and 15 July in each year, commencing on 15 July 2023. The initial conversion price per share of the Notes has been set at EUR 8.00, representing a conversion premium of approximately 32.1 % to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of Enersense’s shares (the ”Shares”) on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on each of the 10 dealing days prior to the launch of the offering of the Notes, representing EUR 6.0573 (the “Market Reference Price”). The issue price of the Notes will be 100% of their nominal amount and, unless previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at 100% of their nominal amount at maturity. Closing is expected to occur on or about 12 December 2022 (the “Issue Date”). The Notes will become convertible into Shares subject to a resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to resolve on the issue of special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended) to enable the issue of such Shares upon the exercise of conversion rights by noteholders in respect of the Notes (the “Shareholders’ Resolution”) and a subsequent resolution by the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of such special rights based on the authorization (the “Board Resolution”), following which the Company will issue an appropriate notice to the noteholders. If the Shareholder Resolution and the Board Resolution are not passed by the date falling 3 months after the Issue Date and the Notes have not been redeemed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes, noteholders will be entitled to exercise a cash settlement right whereby they would receive a cash amount equal to the market value of the Shares notionally underlying the Notes as detailed in the terms and conditions of the Notes. The maximum number of Shares (without any adjustments having been made to the conversion price) notionally underlying the initial issue size is 3,250,000 Shares, representing approximately 19.7 % of the Company’s current total amount of Shares (approximately 16.5 % on a fully diluted basis). The cash settlement right of the holders of the Notes will expire upon the Notes becoming convertible into Shares. In order to effect the Shareholder Resolution and to enable the subsequent Board Resolution to issue special rights entitling to Shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting would authorize the Board of Directors to decide, in one or several instalments, on the issuance of special rights entitling to Shares referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act in respect of the Notes as follows. The number of shares to be issued based on the special rights shall not exceed 3,575,000 Shares, which corresponds to approximately 21.7 % of all of the Shares in the Company (approximately 18.1 % on a fully-diluted basis). The issuance of special rights entitling to shares may be carried out in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (directed issue). The special rights would be granted, for no consideration, to the initial subscribers of the Notes and/or to any subsequent purchasers of the Notes. The special rights would be attached to the Notes and could not be separated from the Notes. In all other respects, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Board of Directors would decide on other conditions of the issuance of special rights entitling to shares. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued based on the special rights under this authorization exceeds the number of Shares that would be issued if the Notes would be converted into Shares at the current conversion price. The excess number of special rights and Shares that may be issued is reserved for possible adjustments to the conversion price in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes and may not be issued for any other purpose. The Board of Directors considers that there are weighty financial reasons to issue the special rights in respect of the Notes as the issuance of the Notes allowed the Company to strengthen its financial position under financial and other terms (including the execution timetable) that would not, in the understanding of the Board of Directors, have been otherwise available. In addition, the capital raised through the issue of the Notes is expected to enable strategic investments by the Company. The Board of Directors also notes that the initial conversion price of the Notes per Share represented a premium of 32.1 % as compared to the above-mentioned Market Reference Price. Certain shareholders of the Company, including Nidoco AB, MBÅ Invest Oy, Verman Group Oy and Ensto Invest Oy, who together represent approximately 54.9 % of Enersense’s current total amount of Shares, have irrevocably agreed to vote in favour of the resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares at the General Meeting. This authorization does not revoke or replace any previous authorizations granted to the Board of Directors regarding the issuance of special rights entitling to shares. Closing of the meeting B.
