19:45:00 EET
Shareholders of Faron Pharmaceuticals Ltd (business ID: 2068285-4, the
“Company”) are notified of the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “EGM”) to be
held on 2 March 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EET (Finnish time) at Biocity, meeting room
“Presidentti” at Tykistökatu 6, FI-20520 Turku, Finland. The registration of
attendees and the distribution of voting slips will commence at the meeting

A. MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
At the EGM the following matters will be considered:
§ 1 Opening of the meeting
§ 2 Calling the meeting to order
§ 3 Election of persons to scrutinise the minutes and to supervise the
counting of votes
§ 4 Recording the legality of the meeting
§ 5 Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes
§ 6 Authorising the Board to resolve on the rights offering
The Board proposes that the EGM authorises the Board to resolve on the
issuance of a maximum of 80,000,000 new shares in a rights offering as
follows:
The new shares to be issued based on the authorisation will be offered to the
Company's shareholders for subscription pursuant to their pre-emptive
subscription rights in the same proportion as they already hold shares in the
Company. Shares that remain unsubscribed at the end of the subscription period
of the rights offering on the basis of shareholders' pre-emptive subscription
rights may be offered on a secondary basis for subscription to other
shareholders or third parties. The Board is authorised to decide to whom such
shares that remain unsubscribed, if any, are offered to. In the event that
shares are to be issued to potential subscription guarantors in a secondary
offering, the Company would be authorised to issue the shares to itself first
without consideration to enable delivery versus payment in respect of such
subscription guarantors (without the authorisation being exercised twice in
respect of such shares). The Board is authorised to resolve on all other terms
and conditions of the rights offering, including the subscription and payment
period and the grounds for determining the subscription price.
The authorisation would be valid until 30 June 2026 and would not revoke the
authorisation granted to the Board by the Annual General Meeting on 21 March
2025 to resolve on issuances of shares, option rights or other special rights
entitling to shares.
