The subscription period in Divio Technologies AB's issue of units starts today

Background
Divio is a Swedish company with wholly owned subsidiaries in Switzerland and the USA. Divio develops and sells a software platform (PaaS - Platform-as-a-Service) that enables companies to effortlessly run and develop critical web applications in the cloud, in a secure, user-friendly and largely automated, cost-effective way, independent of infrastructure provider. The Company is ISO 27001 certified and facilitates the management and maintenance of complex cloud infrastructures with multiple third-party clouds, ranging from the largest players such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud to smaller cloud providers.


Motive and Objectives
The objective of the Rights Issue is to fund the Company's operations to accelerate sales growth by investing in a certified partnership with one of the world's largest Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers where the parties together will offer a combined solution. In addition, Divio will invest in consultative technical sales with a focus on small and medium-sized businesses (SME), which is expected to lead to a wider target group, increase efficiency and create shorter sales cycles. Divio also intends to establish the Software platform in new markets and significantly increase awareness of Divo through more marketing activities. Assuming that the planned Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Board of Directors believes that the Company has sufficient cash to take the Company to cash breakeven in Q4 2023. Divio aims to grow MRR by at least 30% per year on average over the next five years.
