NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE OR SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER STATE IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS SET FORTH BELOW IN THE “IMPORTANT NOTICE” SECTION.

Rush Factory Plc (“Rush Factory”) announced on December 5, 2024, that Rush Factory, Sunborn Oy, PM Ruukki Oy, Jerovit Investment Oy and Oy Haapalandia Invest Ltd have signed a share exchange agreement, according to which it will acquire Sunborn International Holding Oy (“SBIH”) through a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) to form a combined group (the “Sunborn International Group”).

The Share Exchange will result in a significant change in Rush Factory’s operations, as a result of which Rush Factory has prepared a prospectus (“Prospectus”) in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland (“First North”) marketplace operated by Nasdaq Helsinki Oy (“Nasdaq Helsinki”), which has been reviewed by Nasdaq Helsinki. The company prospectus is published on Sunborn International Plc's website at Company Prospectus 28.03.2025 - English translation

The estimated date of the share exchange is April 16, 2025 and trading in the shares of the Sunborn International Group First North will commence as soon as possible after the completion of the Share Exchange, on or about 17 April 2025. The Prospectus contains the following previously undisclosed or specified information in relation to the Share Exchange (capitalised terms not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus):

Share Exchange

In contrast to the announcement on 5 December 2024, approximately 562,068,565 Consideration Shares (previously 562,072,165) will be allocated to SBIH shareholders, bringing the total number of Rush Factory shares to 568,596,697 shares (previously 568,600,297). The change in the number of shares will not affect the exchange ratio used in the Share Exchange, as the changes are due to rounding and the fact that fractional shares are not issued. After the Share Exchange is completed, Sunborn Oy will own a new approximately 47.8 percent of the corporate entity, Saga Palvelut Oy approximately 15.1 percent, PM Ruukki Oy approximately 9.9 percent, Jerovit Investment Oy approximately 5.5 percent, Oy Haapalandia Ltd approximately 5.1 percent, Nordic Credit Opportunities S.A., SICAV-RAIF approximately 3.6 percent, Nordic Credit Partners S.A., SICAV-RAIF Umbrella approximately 3.4 percent, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company approximately 1.0 percent and Rush Factory's current shareholders approximately 0.6 percent. The ownership interests are presented assuming that the Share Exchange and the directed share issues of Rush Factory and the ownership arrangements of SBIH made in connection with the Share Exchange are implemented as planned. The Niemen family would own a total of approximately 62.8 percent of the new corporate entity through their holdings Sunborn Oy and Saga Palvelut Oy.

As a result of the implementation of the Share Exchange, Sunborn Oy and Saga Palvelut Oy are obliged to implement a mandatory tender offer. Sunborn Oy and Saga Palvelut Oy intend to submit an application for an exemption from the mandatory tender offer obligation.

According to the Share Exchange Agreement, the execution of the Share Exchange is subject to a permanent exemption from the mandatory tender offer obligation granted by the Financial Supervisory Authority in accordance with Chapter 11, Section 26 of the Securities Markets Act (746/2012, as amended). According to the Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations and guidelines 9/2013, unless the position of minority shareholders has been sufficiently secured in another way, in such cases, the condition for an exemption from the tender obligation is that shareholders who are not independent of the arrangement decide on the arrangement at the target company's general meeting. In such cases, the target company must disclose sufficient information about the planned arrangement before the general meeting. At the general meeting deciding on the arrangement, shareholders who are not independent of the arrangement must support the arrangement by at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast. Invitation to Rush Factory's extraordinary general meeting has been published in a company release on 26.3.2025, and the extraordinary general meeting will be held on 16.4.2025.

The above-mentioned ownership shares differ from the announcement on 5.12.2024. The changes are due to the sale of shares in SBIH by Sunborn Oy. At the time of signing the share exchange agreement on 5.12.2024, Sunborn Oy owned the entire share capital of SBIH. After signing the share exchange agreement and before the implementation of the share exchange, Sunborn Oy has sold and will sell part of its ownership in SBIH.

In addition, SBIH will make a directed share issue to its financial advisor Origo Partners Oy, which has affected the number of shares to be directed in SBIH's other share issues and the distribution of ownership. However, there has been no impact on SBIH's valuation or the exchange ratio used in the Share Exchange. After the Share Exchange is completed, Origo Partners Oy will receive a fee of EUR 480,000, of which EUR 200,000 will be paid in SBIH shares using the valuation and exchange ratio agreed in the Share Exchange Agreement.

Immediately prior to the implementation of the Share Exchange, 803,722 of SBIH's own shares will be issued to Origo Partners Oy, which, in accordance with the exchange ratio of the Share Exchange, entitle it to 1,310,931 Consideration Shares.

Business Model

The Sunborn International Group’s business model is based on six pillars (previously five pillars): 1) acquiring and managing floating project sites; 2) designing and building; 3) owning yacht hotels; 4) operating the hotel business; 5) providing technical support and maintenance for yacht hotels; and 6) designing, building, developing and operating new types of floating hotel and event properties.

Strategy

The Sunborn International Group specifies its strategy as follows: Sunborn International Group aims to be the global market leader in floating accommodation, tourism and event properties.

Key financial information for Yacht Hotels for the financial year 2024

Currently, SBIH owns and operates two yacht hotels, located in London and Gibraltar.

In 2024, Sunborn London Yacht Hotel had a turnover of £10,598 thousand (2023: £10,548 thousand) and an EBITDAR of £3,589 thousand (2023: £3,652 thousand). In the first six months of 2024, turnover was £4,994 thousand (H1/2023: £5,282 thousand) and in the second six months, £5,604 thousand (H2/2023: £5,266 thousand). Of the 2024 revenue, 58 percent came from hotel operations (59 percent in 2023), 35 percent from food and beverage sales (34 percent in 2023) and 6 percent from other sales (7 percent in 2023). The book value of the Sunborn London Yacht Hotel as of 31 December 2024 was EUR 6.7 million at acquisition cost in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland (“Finnish Accounting Practice”), less accumulated depreciation. According to the valuation report prepared by Altum Marine in March 2025, the value of the Sunborn London Yacht Hotel was EUR 50 million (EUR 49 million according to the previous valuation report prepared in October 2023).

In 2024, Sunborn Gibraltar Yacht Hotel had a turnover of £10,653 thousand (2023: £10,171 thousand) and an EBITDAR of £2,357 thousand (2023: £2,263 thousand). In the first six months of 2024, turnover was £4,840 thousand (H1/2023: £4,761 thousand) and in the second six months, £5,814 thousand (H2/2023: £5,410 thousand). Of the turnover in 2024, 68 percent came from hotel operations (67 percent in 2023), 26 percent from food and beverage sales (26 percent in 2023) and 6 percent from other sales (7 percent in 2023). The carrying amount of Sunborn Gibraltar Yacht Hotel as of 30 June 2024 was EUR 90.5 million at cost less accumulated depreciation under IFRS. According to the valuation report prepared by Altum Marine in February 2025, the value of Sunborn Gibraltar Yacht Hotel was USD 136 million (USD 144 million in the previous valuation report prepared in May 2023).

New Projects

The strategy for Sunborn London Yacht Hotel is to continue its operations in London until the completion of a new, larger yacht hotel in London by the end of 2026. After this, Sunborn London Yacht Hotel will move to Seville, where it will continue its operations. Sunborn International Group has negotiated a 30-year berth lease with an option to extend in Seville. Sunborn International Group updates the timetable for signing the final Seville lease. Sunborn International Group estimates that it will sign the final lease during the first half of 2025, once Sunborn International Group has approved the technical implementation plan for the project with the Seville Port Authority.

The construction contract for the new London Yacht Hotel can be signed once the Spanish Export Credit Agency CESCE has approved the agreement. The financing required for the construction contract requires a self-financing portion, after which the Sunborn International Group estimates that CESCE will approve the construction contract during the first half of 2025. The Sunborn International Group intends to cover the self-financing portion with funds raised in the directed share issues in connection with the Share Exchange.

As of the date of this press release, the Sunborn International Group has a total hotel capacity of 327 rooms, and with the construction of the new Evolution series yacht hotels, the hotel capacity would increase by a total of 450 rooms. The Sunborn International Group plans to build over 3,500 hotel rooms according to the new Evolution series model over the next 5–10 years, and in addition, the Sunborn International Group is planning new types of floating structures that are more suitable for different types of sites than yacht hotels. Development projects are underway in London, Vancouver and Seville, in addition to which there are active projects in Ireland, Iceland, China, the Middle East and Oceania, among others.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The Prospectus contains unaudited pro forma financial information (“Pro Forma Information”), which is presented for illustrative purposes only to illustrate the financial effects of the Share Exchange. The Pro Forma Information is presented for illustrative purposes only. By its nature, the Pro Forma Information shows what would have been the hypothetical effect if the Share Exchange had occurred at an earlier date and is therefore not indicative of what the actual results of operations or financial position of the Sunborn International Group would have been. The Pro Forma Information is not intended to be a forecast of what the results of operations or financial position of the Sunborn International Group will be in the future. The Pro Forma information included in the prospectus is attached in its entirety as Appendix 1 to this release.

The unaudited pro forma income statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 have been prepared assuming that the Share Exchange would have been completed on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been prepared assuming that the Share Exchange would have been completed on January 1, 2023. The Pro Forma information presented in the prospectus is based on financial information derived from the unaudited financial information of SBIH's separate companies and subgroup companies for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and the audited financial statements, the unaudited balance sheet of Sunborn Gibraltar (Holdings) Ltd and the unaudited financial statements of Sunborn International Oy for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. SBIH is a subgroup of Sunborn Oy and no official, audited, published subgroup financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the exception of Chapter 6, Section 1, Subsection 4 of the Accounting Act. In addition, the figures have been derived from Rush Factory's unaudited financial information for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. The Pro Forma information has been prepared in accordance with Annex 20 to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 and the accounting policies that Sunborn International Group will apply in its consolidated financial statements following the Share Exchange, which will be prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards.

In preparing the Pro Forma information, adjustments have been made to the historical financial information in order to reflect the pro forma impact of the events resulting from the Share Exchange. Reclassifications and adjustments have been made to Rush Factory's historical financial information. Rush Factory's subsidiaries Funrun Finland Oy have been declared bankrupt, Funrun Events UK Ltd has been placed in voluntary liquidation and the share capital of VE Volkslauf Events GmbH has been sold to a third party, as a result of which the figures of the subsidiaries have been written down in Rush Factory's income statements for the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 and in the balance sheet as of 31 December 2024. In addition, the historical financial information of SBIH's separate companies has been combined with the SBIH Group. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions, which are described in the notes. There is no assurance that the assumptions used in preparing the Pro Forma information will prove to be correct. In addition, the allocation of the acquisition cost has been made on a preliminary basis, as a result of which the final result of the Share Exchange will differ from this Pro Forma information. The pro forma adjustments do not include estimated synergies or the effects of possible future restructurings and/or personnel reductions.

Unaudited pro forma key figures and alternative key figures

The key pro forma key figures of the Sunborn International Group presented in the Company Prospectus are net sales, profit (loss) before taxes and balance sheet total, and the pro forma alternative key figures presented in this Company Prospectus are EBITDA and its relative share of net sales, operating profit (loss) (EBIT) and its relative share of net sales, profit (loss) before taxes and its relative share of net sales, liquidity and equity ratio. In addition, the Sunborn International Group presents the average daily rate (ADR), revenue per available room (RevPAR) and room occupancy rate as key alternative key figures typical for the industry.

EBITDA represents the Sunborn International Group's operating result excluding planned depreciation and amortization of goodwill, financial items and taxes. Operating profit (EBIT) describes the Sunborn International Group's profit before interest, taxes and taxes.

The balance sheet total describes the total amount of assets available to the company, i.e. the total amount of assets and liabilities. Liquidity describes the company's ability to meet short-term expenses and obligations. The equity ratio describes the company's capital structure.

Occupancy rate (%) is calculated by dividing the number of rooms sold by the number of all available rooms. This indicator measures the utilization rate of the Sunborn International Group's available room capacity.

The indicator describing the average daily rate (ADR) is calculated by dividing the turnover of hotel rooms by the number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR describes the average room rate received from Sunborn International Group's hotels in a given period.

Revenue per room (RevPAR) describes the turnover of hotel rooms divided by the total number of available rooms in a given period. RevPAR represents the unit-specific revenue generated by Sunborn International Group's hotel rooms during different financial periods.

The hotel room revenue used in ADR and RevPAR measures does not include other revenue generated by Sunborn International Group's hotels, such as food and beverage sales.

Some of the Sunborn International Group's pro forma financial measures presented in the following table are alternative performance measures. Alternative performance measures should not be viewed separately from the performance measures calculated on the basis of financial statements prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards. These figures do not represent the historical performance of Sunborn International Group. Not all companies calculate alternative performance measures in a consistent manner, which is why the alternative performance measures may not be comparable with the performance measures presented by other companies with similar names.

The following table provides a summary of key performance measures related to the Pro Forma information, as stated at the dates and periods indicated.

In addition, Sunborn International Group presents certain key SBIH measures that are derived from SBIH’s consolidated historical data and therefore apply only to SBIH without taking into account Rush Factory’s figures.

SBIH’s pro forma revenue in 2024 was EUR 25.1 million (EUR 23.8 million in 2023) and its pro forma operating EBITDA was EUR 5.5 million (22 percent of pro forma revenue) (EUR 5.5 million and 23 percent of pro forma revenue in 2023).

SBIH's pro forma current ratio as of December 31, 2024 was 24 percent and its pro forma equity ratio was 19 percent.

Appendix 1 – Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information


General

This Prospectus contains unaudited pro forma financial information (“Pro Forma Information”) reflecting the effects of the combination of Rush Factory and SBIH (including the separate entities and sub-group companies Sunborn International (UK) Limited, Sunborn London Corporation, Sunborn International Oy, Sunborn (Gibraltar) Ltd, Sunborn (Gibraltar) Resort Ltd and Sunborn (Gibraltar) Holdings Ltd) on the financial information of the Sunborn International Group. Sunborn London Corporation is a sub-group of SBIH, which includes the separate entity Sunborn London Admin Oy of the sub-group. The information of Sunborn Spain SLU, OÜ Sunborn Marine, Sunborn Evolution Ltd and Sunborn Vancouver Holding Ltd, which are part of the SBIH Group, has not been combined with the Pro Forma information, as Sunborn Spain SLU, OÜ Sunborn Marine and Sunborn Evolution Ltd do not have active business operations as of the date of the Prospectus and Sunborn Vancouver Holding Ltd was established in January 2025 and no historical financial information is available for it.

The Pro Forma information is presented to illustrate the financial impact of the proposed Share Exchange. This Pro Forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only. By its nature, the Pro Forma information shows what would have been the hypothetical impact if the Share Exchange had been completed at an earlier date and therefore does not reflect what the actual operating results or financial position of the Sunborn International Group would have been. The Pro Forma information is not intended to predict what the operating results or financial position of the Sunborn International Group would be in the future.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions, which are described in the notes to the financial statements. There can be no assurance that the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma information will prove to be correct. In addition, the allocation of the acquisition cost has been made on a preliminary basis, as a result of which the final result of the Share Exchange will differ from this pro forma information. The pro forma adjustments do not include estimated synergies or the effects of possible future restructurings and/or personnel reductions.

The Pro Forma information has been derived from the combined unaudited figures of SBIH and Rush Factory for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, and the audited figures of Rush Factory's consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023, and the audited financial statements of SBIH's separate entities and sub-group companies, the unaudited balance sheet of Sunborn (Gibraltar) Holdings Ltd[1] and the unaudited financial statements of Sunborn International Oy for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. SBIH is a subgroup of Sunborn Oy and has not been the subject of official, audited and published subgroup financial statements pursuant to the exception of Chapter 6, Section 1, Subsection 4 of the Accounting Act (1336/1997, as amended, “Accounting Act”), but the audited financial statements of SBIH and its separate companies have been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of Sunborn Oy. The figures of the individual companies have been audited and have been directly consolidated with Sunborn Oy. Sunborn Oy is not part of the Sunborn International Group created in the Share Exchange, but only a future shareholder of the Company upon the completion of the Share Exchange.

The pro forma information has been prepared to describe the operations of the Sunborn International Group, and the main focus of the operations is on the operations that will become part of the Sunborn International Group as a result of the Share Exchange. The Sunborn International Group will be listed on First North in connection with the Share Exchange.

The pro forma information includes the income statement for the financial years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.

Accounting principles

The Pro Forma information has been prepared in accordance with Annex 20 to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 and the accounting principles that Sunborn International Group will apply in its consolidated financial statements after the Share Exchange, which will be prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards. The basis for the Pro Forma information is the consolidated financial statements of SBIH’s separate entities and the consolidated financial statements of Rush Factory, prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards. In preparing the Pro Forma information, adjustments have been made to historical data to reflect the pro forma effect of the events mentioned and which are substantiated by the facts. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information, such as agreements made with external experts and calculations based on these, and certain assumptions that SBIH’s management believes are reasonable in the prevailing circumstances.

SBIH and Rush Factory have performed a preliminary analysis of their accounting policies. Based on the preliminary analysis, the companies have not been aware of any differences in accounting policies that could have a material impact on the Pro Forma information. Once the Share Exchange is completed, the Sunborn International Group may identify differences in accounting policies that were not identified in the preliminary analysis.

The independent assurance report on the compilation of the Pro Forma information included in this Prospectus is attached as Appendix B to the Prospectus.

Adjustments have been made to Rush Factory's unaudited income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and to the audited income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and to the unaudited balance sheet for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 in order to prepare pro forma information. Of Rush Factory's subsidiaries, Funrun Finland Oy has been declared bankrupt, Funrun Events UK Ltd has been placed in voluntary liquidation and the share capital of VE Volkslauf Events GmbH has been sold to a third party, as a result of which write-downs have been made to the figures of the subsidiaries. As a result, the combined effect of the companies' release from liabilities and the derecognition of assets has been recorded in retained earnings.

Rush Factory's adjustments to the income statement relate to the Group's net sales, materials and services, personnel expenses, other operating income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, and financial income and expenses. The adjustments to the balance sheet mainly relate to fixed and current assets, equity and short-term liabilities.

The adjustments to Rush Factory are disclosed in more detail in pro forma note 1.

Adjustments have been made to SBIH’s consolidated balance sheet and income statement to prepare the Pro Forma information presented in this Company Prospectus.

Internal eliminations have been made to SBIH’s consolidated pro forma balance sheet and income statement, which are derived from the unaudited financial information and audited financial statements of SBIH’s separate entities and group companies. The adjustments to the pro forma income statements for the years 1 January–31 December 2024 and 1 January–31 December 2023 relate to rental income and expenses, financial income and expenses, change in depreciation difference and change in deferred taxes. The adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 relate to group receivables and liabilities. (Pro forma note 2.)

The historical financial statements of SBIH’s separate entities and group companies have been reclassified to comply with Finnish Accounting Standards in order to form the combined pro forma balance sheet and income statement of SBIH. The differences related to the different accounting policies of the separate entities and group companies have been classified to comply with Finnish Accounting Standards. (Pro forma note 3.)

Adjustments have also been made to SBIH’s pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, regarding the completed directed share issues, the conversion of loans into equity and previously unrecognized interest expenses according to the updated debt agreement.

Adjustments have been made to SBIH's pro forma income statement for the period 1 January–31 December 2023 to improve the comparability of accounting principles with the financial period 1 January–31 December 2024. (Pro forma note 4.)

In addition, adjustments have been made to the pro forma balance sheet of Sunborn International Group for the period 31 December 2024 and the pro forma income statements for the financial periods 1 January–31 December 2024 and 1 January–31 December 2023 regarding the effects of the Rush Factory and SBIH Share Exchange. (Pro forma note 5.)

The SBIH Group's separate companies Sunborn London Oyj and Sunborn (Gibraltar) Ltd own the Yacht Hotels related to SBIH's business. In the financial statements of the separate companies, the Yacht Hotels are presented as investment properties, but in SBIH's pro forma balance sheet, the holdings are presented as fixed assets. Due to the hotel operations, the Yacht Hotels are used in connection with SBIH's own business operations and therefore do not constitute investment property operations in accordance with IFRS and IAS 40, where the asset is held solely for capital appreciation or rental income. Chapter 5, Section 2 b of the Accounting Act requires the application of IAS 40 in Finnish Accounting Practice if the assets are presented as investment property.

SBIH's adjustments are described in more detail in pro forma notes 2, 3 and 4.

Merger of SBIH and Rush Factory through a share exchange

Rush Factory, Sunborn Oy, PM Ruukki Oy, Jerovit Investment Oy and Oy Haapalandia Invest Ltd signed a Share Exchange Agreement on 5 December 2024, according to which Rush Factory will acquire the entire share capital of SBIH through a share exchange. In the Share Exchange, the Sellers will transfer the entire share capital of SBIH to Rush Factory in consideration for 562,068,565 new shares in Rush Factory. The total number of Shares in the Sunborn International Group after the Share Exchange is 568,596,697. The Share Exchange is conditional on the approval of Rush Factory’s extraordinary general meeting to be held on 16 April 2025. The conditions for the implementation of the Share Exchange contained in the Share Exchange Agreement are set out in the section “Share Exchange and Share Exchange Agreement – Conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement”. As a result of the share exchange, SBIH will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Rush Factory and SBIH shareholders will become shareholders of the listed Sunborn International Group. The notional value of SBIH's share capital is determined in the Share Exchange Agreement to be EUR 86.1 million, assuming that the total financing round of EUR 11.8 million planned by SBIH prior to the implementation of the Share Exchange is fully realized, and the value of Rush Factory's share capital is determined in the Share Exchange to be EUR 1 million. The share exchange is estimated to be realized on April 16, 2025, provided that all conditions for implementation are met.

The share exchange will be recorded in Rush Factory's accounting as an acquisition, where the acquisition price consists of the value of the SBIH shares received in kind. The acquisition price will be recorded in the invested unrestricted equity fund. The difference between the acquisition price and the SBIH Group's equity at the time of acquisition will be recorded in goodwill, which will be amortized over 10 years. The merger through a share exchange is described in more detail in the section “Share Exchange and Share Exchange Agreement”.

Prior to and in connection with the Share Exchange, ownership arrangements will be implemented in both Rush Factory and SBIH, further details of which are presented in the section “Share Exchange and Share Exchange Agreement – Ownership Arrangements Related to the Share Exchange”.

* In Rush Factory’s financial statement release for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the translation differences reserve is included within retained earnings. In the pro forma information, the translation differences reserve is presented as a separate component of equity; accordingly, Rush Factory’s retained earnings differ from those presented in the financial statement release.

See the notes to the Pro Forma information below.

Notes to the Pro Forma information

The following unaudited pro forma adjustments have a continuing impact on the results and financial position of the Sunborn International Group, unless otherwise stated. The pro forma information is unaudited.

Note 1 – Rush Factory pro forma adjustments

Adjustments have been made to Rush Factory’s unaudited income statement for the year ended 31 December 2024 and to the audited income statement for the year ended 31 December 2023 and to the unaudited balance sheet for the year ended 31 December 2024 to prepare pro forma information. One of Rush Factory’s subsidiaries, Funrun Finland Oy, has been declared bankrupt. Funrun Events UK Ltd has been placed into voluntary liquidation and the share capital of VE Volkslauf Events GmbH has been sold to a third party, resulting in write- downs of the subsidiary figures. As a result, the combined effect of the companies’ debt relief and asset write-offs has been recognised in retained earnings. The pro forma information does not show the impact of the subsidiaries’ business operations on the profit and loss for the period 1 January 2023–31 December 2024, but this reversal adjustment adjusts retained earnings. The impact of the reversals and write-offs on the Group’s pro forma income statement and balance sheet is described in more detail below.

The impact of the reversals of Funrun Events UK Ltd, which was placed in voluntary liquidation, and VE Volkslauf Events GmbH, which was sold to a third party, on Rush Factory’s pro forma result for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 is a total loss of EUR 224 thousand. The impact of the reversals on the Group’s pro forma result for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 is a total loss of EUR 1.7 million. The companies' assets of EUR 0.7 million and liabilities of EUR 2.6 million have been derecognized from the balance sheet on 31 December 2024. The combined effect of the reversal of the result and the write-downs of balance sheet items on retained earnings on 31 December 2024 was EUR 2.0 million.

The effect of the reversal of the bankrupt Funrun Finland Oy on Rush Factory's pro forma result for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 is EUR 489 thousand. The effect of the reversal on the Group's pro forma result for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 is EUR 516 thousand. The reversal between equity items has no effect on the Group's balance sheet total as of 31 December 2024.

On 28 October 2024, Rush Factory signed a conditional financing agreement with PM Ruukki Oy, Jerovit Advisory Oy and Niemelän Markka & Ropo Oy (the “Financial Arrangement”). As part of the Financing Arrangement, PM Ruukki Oy and Jerovit Advisory Oy provided Rush Factory with a bridge financing of EUR 200 thousand to secure its solvency and ProUp Oy provided a loan of approximately EUR 550 thousand to repay the bank loan and working capital loan for the Masku property owned by Rush Factory. Later, Rush Factory has received an additional EUR 43 thousand in debt financing from PM Ruukki Oy and Jerovit Advisory Oy. As a signatory to the Financing Agreement, Rush Factory’s largest shareholder, Niemelän Markka & Ropo Oy, has committed to supporting the Financing Arrangement.

In addition, PM Ruukki Oy and Jerovit Advisory Oy are providing Rush Factory with equity financing as part of the Financing Arrangement. In the financing agreement, the parties agreed that Rush Factory would arrange a directed share issue, in which PM Ruukki Oy and Jerovit Advisory Oy would each receive, for a total investment of EUR 400 thousand, a 25 percent ownership and voting interest in all Rush Factory shares, taking into account the number of shares on the signing date of the financing agreement and the directed share issue to the main owner of Rush Factory, thus a total of 50 percent. Part of the EUR 400 thousand investment would be paid by converting the bridge financing received by Rush Factory into new shares in Rush Factory. In the amendment agreement to the financing agreement, the parties agreed that the additional loan tranches approved in writing by the parties, including the EUR 43 thousand tranche, would be converted together with the bridge financing into new shares in Rush Factory as part of the EUR 400 thousand investment. However, the investment will always be a maximum of EUR 400 thousand, in which case the additional loan tranches will reduce the share of the new equity financing in the share issue.

As part of the Financing Arrangement and prior to the implementation of the directed share issue pursuant to the Financing Arrangement, the receivables of Rush Factory’s current creditors Niemelän Markka & Ropo Oy and Markus Niemelä that can be converted into Rush Factory shares shall, according to the terms of the arrangement, be converted into new shares at a subscription price of EUR 0.453 per share. Such receivables total EUR 409 thousand.

The information of Sunborn Spain SLU, OÜ Sunborn Marine, Sunborn Evolution Ltd, and Sunborn Vancouver Holding Ltd, which belong to the SBIH Group, has not been included in the Pro Forma information, as Sunborn Spain SLU, OÜ Sunborn Marine, and Sunborn Evolution Ltd have no active operations as of the date of the Company Prospectus, and Sunborn Vancouver Holding Ltd was established in January 2025 and therefore no historical financial information is available.

The unaudited information of SBIH’s parent companies and sub-group companies for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the audited financial statements, the unaudited balance sheet of Sunborn (Gibraltar) Holdings Ltd[1], and the unaudited financial statements of Sunborn International Oy for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, UK accounting practice (FRS 102, Financial Reporting Standards), and Finnish Accounting Standards.

Note 3 – SBIH IFRS Reversal Adjustments

Presented below are the IFRS reversal adjustments of the companies in the SBIH Group.

The financial statements of Sunborn International Holding Oy and Sunborn International Oy have been prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards; the financial statements of Sunborn London Oyj, Sunborn London Admin Oy, Sunborn (Gibraltar) Ltd, and Sunborn International (UK) Limited have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards; and the unaudited balance sheets of Sunborn (Gibraltar) Holdings Ltd and the financial statements of Sunborn (Gibraltar) Resort Ltd have been prepared in accordance with UK accounting practice (FRS 102, Financial Reporting Standards).

In order to compile the combined Pro Forma figures of SBIH, the financial statements of subsidiaries prepared in accordance with IFRS have been converted to comply with Finnish Accounting Standards, so that the combined Pro Forma figures of SBIH are fully consistent and comparable. These adjustments affect the equity of the SBIH Group and therefore also affect the Pro Forma goodwill of the group formed in the Share Exchange.

IFRS reversal adjustments have been made to lease accounting entries in Sunborn International (UK) Limited in accordance with IFRS 16, so that the figures are consistent with Finnish Accounting Standards.

As a result of IFRS reversal adjustments related to leases made to the Pro Forma income statement, for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, interest expenses and other financial expenses decreased by EUR 33 thousand, depreciation decreased by EUR 165 thousand, other operating expenses increased by EUR 181 thousand, and deferred tax expenses decreased by EUR 3 thousand.

As a result of the above adjustments, profit for the financial year increased by EUR 8 thousand.

Note 4 – SBIH Post-Balance Sheet Adjustments

Presented below are the post-balance sheet adjustments made to the SBIH Group’s Pro Forma balance sheet after 31 December 2024, as well as post-balance sheet adjustments made to the income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.

Post-balance sheet adjustments have been made to the figures of the SBIH Group’s Pro Forma balance sheet relating to ownership arrangements completed prior to the Share Exchange. Further information on SBIH’s ownership arrangements is presented in the section “Share Exchange and Share Exchange Agreement – Ownership Arrangements Related to the Share Exchange – Ownership Arrangements of SBIH in Connection with the Share Exchange.” In addition, post-balance sheet adjustments have been made to the Pro Forma income statement for the financial year 1 January–31 December 2023 to improve comparability of accounting principles between the financial years 1 January–31 December 2023 and 1 January–31 December 2024.

PM Ruukki Oy, Jerovit Investment Oy, Oy Haapalandia Invest Ltd, Sunborn Oy, and SBIH signed an investment agreement on 5 December 2024, pursuant to which SBIH may raise equity financing of at least EUR 11 million from PM Ruukki Oy, Jerovit Investment Oy, Oy Haapalandia Invest Ltd, and other parties that have provided irrevocable subscription commitments. PM Ruukki Oy, Sunborn Oy, and SBIH also signed an investment agreement on 5 December 2024, under which PM Ruukki Oy will invest EUR 800 thousand in SBIH. The directed share issue under the investment agreement of at least EUR 11 million will be implemented immediately prior to completion of the Share Exchange. PM Ruukki Oy’s investment will be made in three tranches, of which the first was completed on 20 December 2024, the second on 10 March 2025, and the third will be completed prior to the completion of the Share Exchange. The directed share issues will be recorded in the invested unrestricted equity reserve.

The principal amount of a loan of EUR 15.0 million between SBIH and Saga Palvelut Oy, owned by the Niemi family office, will be converted into SBIH’s equity. The loan has been a profit-participating loan agreement between SBIH and Saga Palvelut Oy, under which realization of interest accrued on the principal was dependent on a future event that had not occurred at the time of entering into the loan. Accordingly, the loan did not bear interest, and the loan principal has been converted into equity without any impact on the company’s balance sheet total or result for the financial year.

SBIH and Sunborn Oy updated a EUR 3.8 million debt agreement on 1 December 2024 and agreed that the debt would bear annual interest of 6.5%, which SBIH has recognized in the income statement for the financial year 1 January–31 December 2024 and capitalized to the loan principal as at 31 December 2024 in the amount of EUR 246 thousand. The interest expense of EUR 246 thousand recognized in the income statement has also been adjusted to the financial year 1 January–31 December 2023.

A total adjustment of EUR 1,296 thousand resulting from reclassification has been made to materials and services and other operating expenses in the income statement of Sunborn International (UK) Limited for the financial year 1 January–31 December 2023, in order to make the income statement comparable with that of the financial year 1 January–31 December 2024. The adjustment has no impact on profit, as the reclassification increases materials and services and decreases other operating expenses by an equal amount.

Note 5 – Effects of the Share Exchange

The following Pro Forma adjustments describe the impact of the Share Exchange on the Pro Forma information.

The Pro Forma adjustments related to the Share Exchange relate to the acquisition cost calculation prepared based on the figures of SBIH as the acquisition target. In determining goodwill under the acquisition cost calculation, the above-mentioned combination in Note 1 as well as the adjustments in Notes 2, 3, and 4 have been taken into account. Goodwill has been calculated as if the acquisition date had been 31 December 2024, at which time the acquired equity under the acquisition cost calculation equals SBIH’s combined equity as at the end of the financial year ended 31 December 2024. The income statement effects of the acquisition are presented as if the acquisition had taken place on 1 January 2023.

The Pro Forma balance sheet adjustments consist of eliminations of the following equity items: invested unrestricted equity reserve, translation reserve, retained earnings from previous financial years, and profit for the financial year. An adjustment of EUR 86.1 million has been made to the invested unrestricted equity reserve in accordance with the purchase price. As a difference between the purchase price and SBIH’s equity at the acquisition date, goodwill of EUR 65.3 million has arisen and is presented in the Pro Forma balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, taking into account accumulated amortization during the financial years 1 January–31 December 2023 and 1 January–31 December 2024. Transfer tax arising from the acquisition in the amount of EUR 1.3 million (at a transfer tax rate of 1.5%) has been recorded in accrued liabilities. Transaction costs are estimated to amount to approximately EUR 1.4 million in total, of which EUR 1.2 million has been recorded in the acquisition cost of the share exchange and in accrued liabilities. An amount of EUR 200 thousand of the costs is planned to be paid in shares without income statement impact. In addition, SBIH had capitalized EUR 299 thousand of accrued transaction costs in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2024 under accrued receivables. In connection with the Share Exchange, this item will be reversed from SBIH’s balance sheet and included in the acquisition cost of the share exchange.

The Pro Forma income statement adjustments relate to amortization of goodwill arising from the share issue carried out in connection with the Share Exchange. Goodwill has been amortized over a period of 10 years and is presented in the income statement under “depreciation and amortization.” For the financial year ended 31 December 2024, goodwill amortization amounted to a total of EUR 6.5 million, and for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 also to a total of EUR 6.5 million.

Unadjusted Information for Future Financial Years

Unadjusted management and administrative expenses of the Sunborn International Group are expected to increase by approximately EUR 211 thousand during the next financial year. The estimate is based on the assumption of the workload and its increase required from a company listed on First North.

In addition, SBIH and Sunborn Oy, which at the time of signing the agreement was SBIH’s sole shareholder, entered into an agreement on 1 November 2024 regarding the SUNBORN and SUNBORN YACHT HOTEL trademarks and the Sunborn logo. Under the agreement, SBIH will pay Sunborn Oy fixed royalty fees of EUR 100 thousand per year, in addition to which the fixed royalty fee will be increased by EUR 50 thousand for each new SBIH development project, such as new companies and vessels or properties. The fixed royalty fee of EUR 100 thousand will be adjusted annually in accordance with the Finnish Consumer Price Index. The agreement may be terminated by either party with a notice period of 360 days.
