NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE OR SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE SEE “IMPORTANT NOTICE” BELOW.

Lifeline SPAC I Plc (”Lifeline SPAC I”) and Canatu Oy (”Canatu”) announced on 5 July 2024 that Lifeline SPAC I and Canatu’s shareholders had signed a share exchange agreement whereby Lifeline SPAC I acquires all shares, option rights, and other rights exchangeable to shares in Canatu (the “Combination” or “Transaction”) by way of a directed share issue consisting of Lifeline SPAC I’s new shares to form a combined company (the “Combined Company”). After the completion, the Combined Company will change its name to Canatu Plc (in Finnish, Canatu Oyj).

Lifeline SPAC I’s Board of Directors has unanimously decided to recommend to Lifeline SPAC I’s shareholders the approval of the Combination and voting in its favor in Lifeline SPAC I’s Extraordinary General Meeting to be held 23 August 2024, the notice of which was published on 2 August 2024. 

Lifeline SPAC I will apply for the admission of the series A shares of the Combined Company to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland maintained by Nasdaq Helsinki. The planned date for the Listing is 17 September 2024 (the “Listing”). Lifeline SPAC I has prepared for the Listing a Finnish-language company description reviewed by Nasdaq Helsinki (the ”FinnishCompany Description”). Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) will act as the Combined Company’s certified adviser.

The Finnish Company Description and its English-language translation are available on the website of Lifeline SPAC I at https://www.lifeline-spac1.com/fi/lifeline-spac-in-ja-canatun-yhdistyminen/ and https://www.lifeline-spac1.com/combination-of-lifeline-spac-i-and-canatu/. In addition, the Finnish Company Description is available as a printed copy during normal office hours at the registered head offices of Lifeline SPAC I at Pursimiehenkatu 26 C, FI-00150 Helsinki, Finland.

The Company Description specifies Canatu’s preliminary outlook for 2024 included in the release of 5 July 2024 as follows:

Forecast for 2024

As a separate company, Canatu’s net turnover for the 2024 financial year is estimated to be between EUR 20 million and EUR 25 million. The Combined Company’s revenue for the 2024 financial year will include Canatu’s net turnover from the date of the completion of the Transaction.

The net turnover outlook for the year 2024 is based on (i) Canatu’s net turnover in H1/2024 as reported in the unaudited monthly management reports, which was EUR 11.1 million, which is based on orders delivered and partially allocated during H1/2024, and (ii) Canatu’s current order book.

Canatu expects the relative contribution to the forecasted net turnover by semiconductor to be very large, by automotive limited and by medical diagnostics non-material. The total capital expenditure in 2024 is expected to amount to EUR 5–6 million, excluding any potential impact from potential changes in the practice regarding the activation of R&D-related personnel expenses.

The statements set forth above include forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of Canatu’s financial performance. Canatu’s actual results of operations and financial position could differ materially from the results of operations or financial position presented in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should be treated with caution.

The Company Description contains following undisclosed pro forma information (any capitalised terms not defined in this release shall have the same meaning as in the Company Description):

Pro forma financial information

The Company Description includes undisclosed unaudited pro forma combined financial information (the “Pro Forma Information”), which is presented for illustrative purposes only to give effect to the Transaction between Lifeline SPAC I and Canatu and the Listing of Combined Company as if the Transaction and the Listing had been completed at an earlier date.

The pro forma income statement for the year ended 31 December 2023 is presented to give effect to the Transaction and the Listing as if those had occurred on 1 January 2023. The pro forma balance sheet as at 31 December 2023 is presented to give effect to the Transaction and the Listing as if those had occurred on that date. The Pro Forma Information is unaudited.

The Pro forma Information included in the Company Description are presented in their entirety in Appendix 1 of this release.

The hypothetical financial position and results included in the Pro Forma Information may differ from the Combined Company’s actual financial position and results of operations. Further, the Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the financial position or results of operations of the Combined Company as of any future date.

The Pro Forma Information has been compiled on a basis consistent with Annex 20 to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, and with the accounting principles to be applied by the Combined Company in its consolidated financial statements following the Transaction and Listing to be prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland (the “Finnish Accounting Standards” or “FAS”).

The Pro Forma Information reflects adjustments to the historical financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the Transaction and the Listing and are factually supportable. The pro forma adjustments include certain assumptions related to the valuation of the Consideration Shares, potential amount of additional purchase price, possible cash redemptions of Lifeline SPAC I’s series A shares, accounting policy alignments and other events related to the Transaction and the Listing that the management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Considering the fact that the final accounting impact of the Transaction and the Listing can only be determined at the date of the completion of the Transaction and the Listing, the pro forma adjustments presented in the Company Description are preliminary and based on information available at this time and, accordingly, the Pro Forma Information is subject to change. There can be no assurance that the assumptions used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Information will prove to be correct. The actual results of the Transaction and the Listing may materially differ from the assumptions used and pro forma adjustments reflected in the Pro Forma Information.

About Lifeline SPAC I

Lifeline SPAC I is a Finnish Special Purpose Acquisition Company founded for corporate acquisitions. We raised capital with an offering and listed on the SPAC segment of the regulated market of Nasdaq Helsinki. Our objective is to carry out an acquisition within 36 months from the listing. We offer investors an opportunity to invest in companies that retail investors or many institutional investors otherwise would not be able to invest in, because these kinds of investments are typically made by later-stage private equity funds. Our aim is to generate profit for shareholders and increase the value of the target company by supporting its growth and development also after the acquisition. Our primary strategic goal is to identify and merge with an unlisted technology-focused Nordic company with high growth potential.

Appendix 1 – Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Basis of Compilation

General

The following pro forma combined financial information (the “Pro Forma Information”) is presented for illustrative purposes only to give effect to the Transaction between Lifeline SPAC I and Canatu and the Listing of the Combined Company as if the Transaction and the Listing had been completed at an earlier date. The Pro Forma Information is unaudited. The hypothetical financial position and results included in the Pro Forma Information may differ from the Combined Company’s actual financial position and results and the Pro Forma Information is not intended to give an indication of the financial position or results of the Combined Company in the future.

The Pro Forma Information has been compiled on a basis consistent with Annex 20 to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, and with the accounting principles to be applied by the Combined Company in its consolidated financial statements to be prepared in accordance with FAS following the Transaction and the Listing.

Basis of Presentation

The pro forma income statement for the year ended 31 December 2023 gives effect to the Transaction and the Listing as if those had occurred on 1 January 2023. The pro forma balance sheet as at 31 December 2023 gives effect to the Transaction and the Listing as if those had occurred on that date.

The Pro Forma Information reflects adjustments to the historical financial information that aim to highlight pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the Transaction and the Listing and are factually supportable. The pro forma adjustments include certain assumptions related to the valuation of the Consideration Shares, potential amount of additional purchase price, possible cash redemptions of Lifeline SPAC I’s series A shares, accounting policy alignments and other events related to the Transaction and the Listing as described below, that the management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Considering the fact that the final accounting impact of the Transaction and the Listing can only be determined at the date of the completion of the Transaction and the Listing, the pro forma adjustments presented herein are preliminary and based on information available at this time and accordingly, the Pro Forma Information is subject to change. There can be no assurance that the assumptions used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Information will prove to be correct. The assumptions used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Information have been described, as applicable, in the accompanying notes. The actual results of the Transaction and the Listing may materially differ from the assumptions used and pro forma adjustments reflected in the Pro Forma Information.

Transaction Between Lifeline SPAC I and Canatu

Lifeline SPAC I and Canatu announced on 5 July 2024 that they have entered into the Transaction Agreement, according to which Lifeline SPAC I acquires all outstanding shares, option rights and special rights entitling to shares in Canatu from the current shareholders and option rights holders of Canatu. The fixed purchase will be paid with 21,791,821 new Consideration Shares in Lifeline SPAC I through a directed share issue. The option rights held by Canatu’s current option rights holders will be cancelled, and they will receive 1,676,752 new, fully vested option rights entitling to new series A shares in the Combined Company. The Consideration Shares will be automatically converted into series A shares in the Combined Company 60 days after the completion of the Transaction at a 1:1 conversion ratio.

In addition, Lifeline SPAC I and Sellers have agreed on an additional purchase price of up to 6,499,831 new Series A shares in the Combined Company which may become payable if the conditions of the additional purchase price are fulfilled (if the share price exceeds certain volume weighted average share prices). In addition, in connection with the Transaction Lifeline SPAC I will establish the Option Plan 2024-II, from which holders of option rights in Canatu will receive a total of 500,074 new option rights in the Combined Company which will vest in accordance with the same conditions than the additional purchase price becomes payable. Series A shares in the Combined Company to be possibly paid as additional purchase price will be offered to the Sellers for subscription without payment. For the Pro Forma Information it is assumed that maximum number of new shares will be issued and that maximum number of option rights in Option Plan 2024-II will vest as additional purchase price will become payable. For further information on the additional purchase price and Option Plan 2024-II, see sections “The Transaction and the Transaction Agreement – Share Consideration – Earn Out” and “The Transaction and the Transaction Agreement – Share Consideration – Option Plan 2024-II”. 

In connection with the Transaction, certain Sellers have elected to sell a part of their shares in Canatu to certain Secondary Tranche Investors for a cash consideration immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction conditional on the completion of the Transaction. The shares correspond to approximately EUR 49.7 million, based on fixed enterprise value for Canatu of EUR 230 million. The Secondary Tranche transactions will be consummated prior to the completion of the Transaction. The Secondary Tranche Investors will become Sellers within this Transaction and will be entitled to the consideration as set forth in the Transaction Agreement, including the Consideration Shares and the additional purchase price. These Secondary Tranche sales have no effects in the Pro Forma Information.

The Transaction is subject to the approval of Lifeline SPAC I’s EGM, convened to be held on 23 August 2024. The completion of the Transaction is subject to, inter alia, approval by the EGM of Lifeline SPAC I, as well as to other customary conditions. Current Lifeline SPAC I’s shareholders of series A shares who vote against the completion of the Transaction at the EGM have the right to request that their series A shares be redeemed. In the Pro Forma Information it has been assumed that there will be no request for current Series A shares to be redeemed. For further information on all of the conditions precedent for the Transaction contained in the Transaction Agreement, see section “The Transaction and the Transaction Agreement – Conditions Precedent of the Transaction Agreement”. 

As at the date of the Company Description, Lifeline SPAC I has issued 2,337,500 Sponsor Warrants to the members of its Board of Directors and the Sponsor Committee as well as 495,833 Founder Warrants to the members of its Management Team. The subscription price for the shares to be subscribed for with the Sponsor Warrants and the Founder Warrants is EUR 12.00 per share. The Founder Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants entitle to subscribe for Lifeline SPAC I’s series A shares 30 days after the completion of the Transaction, and the subscription right ceases in five years from the beginning of the subscription period.

In addition, if the EGM approves the Transaction, Lifeline SPAC I issues a total maximum of 3,364,998 Investor warrants to those shareholders who do not vote against the Transaction and require the redemption of their series A shares. One Investor Warrant that entitles its holder to subscribe for one new series A share for a subscription price of EUR 11.50 per share will be offered free of charge for every three series A shares owned by a shareholder. The subscription period for the series A shares to be subscribed for with the Investor Warrants begins 30 days after the Combined Company’s shares have been admitted to trading on the First North marketplace and runs for five years after the commencement of the subscription period. See section “The Transaction and the Transaction Agreement – Investor Warrants – Series 2021-C”.

In the Pro Forma Information it has been assumed that no shares are subscribed based on warrants, hence these warrants do not have any pro forma effects except on diluted EPS.

Lifeline SPAC I’s series B shares may be converted into series A shares if the closing price of the series A shares has equalled certain share price limits during any ten trading days in the period of 30 trading days calculated from the date on which the EGM decides to approve the Transaction. For the Pro Forma Information it is assumed that no series B shares have been converted.

After the completion of the Transaction including the conversion of Consideration Shares, the current shareholders (including the Secondary Tranche Investors) of Canatu would own 68 per cent and current shareholders of Lifeline SPAC I would own 32 per cent of the series A shares in the Combined Company. The percentages have been presented without the dilution caused by potential share subscriptions to be made with Lifeline SPAC I’s Investor Warrants.

In its Initial Listing on 14 October 2021, Lifeline SPAC I raised gross proceeds of EUR 100 million, which were deposited on an escrow account. Subject to the approval of the Transaction in the EGM, the escrow funds (including accrued interest income and taken into account on possible redemption requests of series A shares, Transaction related taxes and certain Transaction related costs) will be released to the Combined Company. For further information, see section “Information on Lifeline SPAC I – Material Agreements – The Escrow Account Agreement with Danske”. 

Subject to the approval of Lifeline SPAC I’s EGM and as a result of the completion of the Transaction, Canatu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lifeline SPAC I . 

Lifeline SPAC I intends to apply for the listing of the Combined Company’s series A shares to public trading on the First North marketplace.

Accounting Policies Applied and Transaction Accounting

Following the completion of the Transaction and the Listing, the Combined Company will prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with FAS, hence the Pro Forma Information is presented in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards. Lifeline SPAC I has performed preliminary review of Canatu’s accounting policies and presentations of financial statements. Upon completion of the Transaction and the Listing, Lifeline SPAC I will conduct a detailed review of Canatu’s accounting policies and financial statement presentation. As a result of that review, the Combined Company may identify additional accounting policy or financial statement presentation topics that could have further impact on the Combined Company’s financial information. Further, the accounting policies to be applied by the Combined Company in the future may differ from the accounting policies applied in the Pro Forma Information.

The share exchange is handled according to the Finnish Accounting Standards using the acquisition method, where the difference between the acquisition cost and the book value of acquired assets and liabilities is capitalised as goodwill. Since Lifeline SPAC I has not had any other business operations than administration related to identifying a target company and its business is not expected to generate revenue and since after the share exchange the Sellers own the majority of the Combined Company, the share exchange and the combination of the companies are intended to be carried out using the book values of Canatu’s assets and liabilities, resulting in no capitalised goodwill from the share exchange itself. In connection with the Transaction, goodwill arises from the transfer tax and transaction costs paid in cash. This goodwill is amortised over the economic impact period according to the principles of FAS.

Historical Financial Information

Lifeline SPAC I

In the Pro Forma Information historical financial information for Lifeline SPAC I has been derived from Lifeline SPAC I’s audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and incorporated by reference to the Company Description.

In compiling the pro forma financial information Lifeline SPAC I’s historical financial information has been adjusted to comply with Finnish Accounting Standards, as following the completion of the Transaction and the Listing the Combined Company will prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards. Adjustments relate to reclassification on redeemable A shares recognised as liabilities net of transaction costs under IFRS Accounting Standards to be accounted for as equity under Finnish Accounting Standards and the accounting for the amount of transaction costs related to the Initial Listing not yet expensed under IFRS Accounting Standards. The effects of the adjustments in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards on the audited financial statements of Lifeline SPAC I prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards are presented in note 1 to the unaudited Pro Forma Information.

Canatu

In the Pro Forma Information historical financial information of Canatu Oy has been derived from Canatu’s audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards and attached to the Company Description as Appendix C. 

For the Pro Forma Information, Canatu’s historical financial information has been adjusted with the impact of Canatu’s fully owned subsidiary Canatu USA, which has not been consolidated to Canatu’s financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. For the Pro Forma Information Canatu’s historical financial information has also been adjusted to give pro forma effects to the events directly attributable to the Transaction and the Listing which are expected to be completed prior to the completion of the Transaction consisting of conversion of Canatu’s convertible loan, share subscription with Canatu’s options, estimated option-related personnel side costs and estimated transaction costs to be paid by Canatu. The effects of the adjustments on the audited financial statements of Canatu are presented in note 2 to the unaudited Pro forma Information.

Other Considerations

Canatu has received two separate product development loans classified as state aid from Business Finland for a total of two separate product development projects. According to the loan agreements, Canatu must obtain consent from Business Finland for the Transaction, which it expects to receive before the completion of the Transaction. The Pro Forma Information assumes that Canatu will receive the consent.

A directed share issue of 94,995 series A shares to certain Lifeline SPAC I’s Sponsors decided by Lifeline SPAC I’s Board of Directors on 5 July 2024 has not been taken into account in the Pro Forma Information.

All figures in the Pro Forma Information are presented in thousand euros unless otherwise indicated and are rounded. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum of the figures in a column or a row in tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row.

Independent practitioner’s assurance report on the compilation of the Pro Forma Information included in the Company Description is attached to the Company Description as Appendix B.

Notes to the Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma adjustments will have a continuing impact on the Combined Company’s results or financial position, unless otherwise indicated.

Note 1–Lifeline SPAC I FAS adjustments

Lifeline SPAC I’s financial statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. Following completion of the Transaction and the Listing, the Combined Company will prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards, using the accounting policies materially consistent with those currently applied by Canatu. 

In Lifeline SPAC I’s financial statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, Lifeline SPAC I’s series A shares are IAS 32 Financial instruments due to the redemption condition connected to them, and the subscription prices of shares, deducted by the transaction costs relating to the Initial Listing, are recorded as liability until the completion of the Transaction and booked at amortised cost and subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Under Finnish Accounting Standards, Lifeline SPAC I’s series A shares are recorded as equity and the transaction costs relating to the Initial Listing should have been expensed in 2021 when incurred.

Lifeline SPAC I’s FAS adjustment in the pro forma income statement relates to the elimination of the transaction costs of EUR 595 thousand recognised as finance costs using the EIR method under IFRS Accounting Standards increasing the result for the period under Finnish Accounting Standards.

Lifeline SPAC I’s FAS adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet relate to the reclassification of Lifeline SPAC I’s series A shares recognised as a liability net of transaction costs relating to the Initial Listing of EUR 99,826 thousand under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under Finnish Accounting Standards, the subscription prices of shares of EUR 100,000 thousand increase the reserve for invested unrestricted equity and decrease the net of retained earnings and result for the period of EUR 174 thousand for to the unamortised portion of the transaction costs relating to the Initial Listing.

Note 2–Canatu 

Canatu’s financial statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 has been prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards. The following table sets forth the pro forma adjustments made for Canatu for the pro forma income statement and pro forma balance sheet purposes.

__________

1) Unaudited – the EUR 5,378 thousand convertible bond presented as non-current liability in the financial statements has been reclassified as current liability and the corresponding amount of loans from financial institutions has been reclassified from current liabilities to non‑current liabilities. 

2a) Canatu USA

Canatu has a fully owned subsidiary Canatu USA, but it has not historically prepared consolidated financial statements pursuant to Chapter 6, Section 1 of the Finnish Accounting Act (1336/1997, as amended) as the subsidiary is not material to give true and fair view. For purposes of the Pro Forma Information, Canatu USA has been consolidated to Canatu’s historical financial information for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 by using Canatu USA’s unaudited historical financial information for the year ended 2023 presented in US dollars, which have been translated into euros using the average USD to EUR foreign exchange rate of 1.081 for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and an exchange rate of 1.105 for the balance sheet as at 31 December 2023 resulting in translation difference of EUR 1 thousand in equity. 

In the combination, the intercompany transactions between Canatu USA and Canatu are eliminated. Accordingly, EUR 367 thousand of intercompany invoicing between Canatu and Canatu USA has been eliminated from Canatu USA’s revenue and Canatu’s other operating expenses in the pro forma income statement.

2b) Convertible loan

Canatu has issued a convertible loan in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 5 million to Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company (“Varma”) pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement dated 27 September 2022. Varma has the right to convert the convertible loan into shares in the Combined Company in connection with the Transaction. Subscription for shares based on the convertible loan shall occur on or before the completion of the Transaction. For purposes of the Pro Forma Information, the convertible loan and the associated interest expenses until the date of completion of the Transaction, a total of EUR 5,616 thousand, are assumed to be converted into Canatu’s shares. Accordingly, the EUR 5,000 thousand convertible loan of and the associated interest expenses of EUR 380 thousand from years 2022 and 2023 recognised as liability in Canatu’s historical balance sheet are adjusted from liabilities into reserve for invested unrestricted equity. The estimated EUR 236 thousand of interest expenses for 2024 until the date of completion of the Transaction of not yet recognised for the Canatu’s historical balance sheet is adjusted into reserve for invested unrestricted equity and as a reduction of the result for the period in the pro forma balance sheet. 

The accrued interest expense of EUR 305 thousand from the convertible loan for 2023 that is recorded as an interest expense in Canatu’s historical income statement, is eliminated from the pro forma income statement.

This adjustment will not have a continuing impact on the Combined Company’s results of operations.

2c) Share subscription with options

During its history, Canatu has borrowed from the European Investment Bank (“EIB”), and as part of loans granted options to EIB. In the Pro Forma Information it has been assumed that EIB exercises the option rights with a total subscription price of EUR 3 thousand before the completion of the Transaction, which increases cash and cash equivalents and reserve for invested unrestricted equity in the pro forma balance sheet.

In the Pro Forma Information it has also been assumed that before the completion of the Transaction a total of 192,687 option rights granted to Canatu’s management and personnel are exercised and new shares of Canatu are subscribed with total subscription price of EUR 1,519 thousand, which increases cash and cash equivalents and reserve for invested unrestricted equity in Canatu’s pro forma balance sheet.

2d) Option-related personnel side costs, management bonus and transaction costs

The estimated pension and other side costs of EUR 158 thousand related to Canatu’s option rights to be exercised before the completion of the Transaction are expected to be paid in the Pro Forma information. These costs increase personnel side costs and decrease the result for the financial period in the pro forma income statement. In addition to decreasing the result for the financial period, these costs decrease cash and cash equivalents in the pro forma balance sheet.

In connection with the completion of the Transaction, Canatu's management team is entitled to a one-time bonus. The estimated amount of the management bonus with related personnel side costs, a total of EUR 200 thousand, increases personnel expenses and decreases the result for the financial period in the pro forma income statement. In addition to the decrease in the result for the financial year, these costs decrease cash and cash equivalents in the pro forma balance sheet.

Estimated transaction costs of EUR 750 thousand to be incurred by Canatu related to the Transaction are expected to be paid. These costs increase interest expense and other financial expenses in the pro forma income statement. In addition to the decrease in the result for the period, these costs decrease cash and cash equivalents in the pro forma balance sheet.

This adjustment will not have a continuing impact on the Combined Company’s results of operations.

3a) Issue of Consideration shares and additional purchase price (Earn-out)

For purposes of the Pro Forma Information, the purchase of all outstanding shares in Canatu from the current shareholders for consideration paid with Consideration shares is expected to completed as share exchange with carrying values. The number of the Considerations Shares to be issued is expected to be 21,791,821 new shares and the carrying value of the Consideration Shares issued EUR 11,749 thousand, based on the carrying value of Canatu’s acquired pro forma net assets as at 31 December 2023 after pro forma adjustments as per Note 2 above. In the pro forma balance sheet, the value of the Consideration Shares issued is recognised in reserve for invested unrestricted equity and capitalised in as part of acquisition cost of subsidiary shares. 

Since additional purchase price is expected to be executed with directed share issue of series A shares without payment in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act, in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Standards it has no effect on the acquisition cost or the Pro Forma Information except for transfer tax described below in item 3c) and on diluted EPS, on which it has been assumed that the conditions of the maximum additional purchase price are fulfilled. In accordance with the Finnish Accounting Standards, the financial effect of Option Plan 2024-II will not realise until when the option rights are used for subscribing for shares.

3b) Options

In connection with the Transaction, Canatu’s current option programs will be cancelled, and a new option program is established by the Lifeline SPAC I, from which holders of option rights in Canatu will receive new, fully vested option rights in the Combined Company.

New fully vested option rights given as consideration have no effects on the Pro Forma Information prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards with apart from diluted EPS. The financial effects will realise when option rights are used for subscribing for shares.

3c) Transfer tax

Lifeline SPAC I will pay transfer tax of 1.5 per cent in connection with the Transaction based on the estimated fair value of the Canatu's shares to be acquired. For estimating the pro forma transfer tax, it is assumed that the maximum amount of additional purchase price will be realised.

The total estimated transfer tax of EUR 5,079 thousand has been capitalised in as part of the acquisition cost of the subsidiary shares in the pro forma balance sheet. The portion of estimated transfer tax to be paid in connection with the completion of the Transaction of EUR 3,269 thousand (excluding the additional purchase price) has been deducted from cash and cash equivalents and the portion of transfer tax related to the additional purchase price of EUR 1,811 thousand has been recognised in accrued liabilities.

3d) Transaction costs 

Lifeline SPAC I estimates that the transaction costs incurred by it and Canatu will be EUR 550 thousand, mostly consisting of expenses related to advisory services provided by the Joint Financial Advisors, financial reporting, legal matters and listing to First North marketplace. In the pro forma balance sheet the estimated transaction costs of EUR 550 thousand have been deducted from cash and cash equivalents and capitalised in as part of acquisition cost of the subsidiary shares.

3e) Goodwill

In the Pro Forma Information the Transaction is accounted for in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards using the acquisition method under which the difference between the acquisition cost and book value of the acquired net assets is capitalised as goodwill on consolidation.

In pro forma balance sheet the total acquisition cost of the subsidiary shares of EUR 17,378 thousand and equity items corresponding to Canatu’s pro forma net assets of EUR 11,749 thousand are eliminated from the balance sheet and the amount of goodwill recognised is EUR 5,629 thousand.

In the Pro Forma Information it is assumed that the consolidated goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis using amortisation period of 10 years according to a predetermined plan. The pro forma adjustment recorded in the pro forma income statement of EUR 563 thousand represents the amortisation expense for twelve-month period.

3f) Escrow

As a result of the Transaction, the funds raised in Lifeline SPAC I’s Initial Listing in 2021 deposited on the escrow account will be released to the Combined Company. In the Pro Forma Information it has been assumed that no redemptions from Lifeline SPAC I's series A shares shareholders are made in connection with the Transaction. In the pro forma balance sheet the escrow funds of EUR 103,544 thousand presented in Lifeline SPAC I’s balance sheet as at 31 December 2023 (including accrued interest income until end of the year 2023) have been reclassified from other receivables to cash and cash equivalents.

Note 4 – Listing fees

The estimated listing fees to be incurred by Lifeline SPAC I in connection with the Listing amount to approximately EUR 2,300 thousand, including a fee of EUR 1,500 thousand to the Joint Financial Advisors from the proceeds raised in the Initial Listing if Lifeline SPAC I succeeds in completing the Transaction and the Listing.

In the pro forma income statement, EUR 2,300 thousand has been recorded as an increase in financial expenses. In the pro forma balance sheet, the total estimated listing fees of EUR 2,300 thousand have been deducted from cash and cash equivalents and EUR 2,300 thousand has been eliminated from the retained earnings.

This adjustment will not have a continuing impact on the Combined Company’s results of operations.

Note 5 – Pro forma earnings per share

Pro forma basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the pro forma profit (loss) for the financial year by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding, in which pro forma number of shares is calculated with the historical weighted average amount of series B shares in addition to the historical outstanding amount of series A shares that no longer have redemption rights due to completion of the Transaction, assuming that no redemptions are made in connection with the Transaction, as well as the amount of the Consideration Shares issued as series C shares, assuming that no changes regarding these shares have occurred during the period presented.

Pro forma diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the pro forma profit (loss) for the financial year by the pro forma weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding , in which the dilution effect of pro forma number of shares includes maximum number of shares to be subscribed for with the Sponsor Warrants, the Founder Warrants and the Investor Warrants, maximum number of shares subscribed for with option rights to be granted in connection with the Transaction and the maximum number of shares issued in connection with the additional purchase price, assuming that no changes regarding these have occurred during the period presented.

The following table sets forth the pro forma earnings per share for the period indicated:
