OptiCept has announced that it has signed a rental agreement with a customer in Central America for an OptiCept PEF system to increase pineapple juice extraction. If the evaluation during the rental period is successful and a potential long-term collaboration materializes, it could help OptiCept achieve a broader commercial scale in the fruit and juice industry. We note, however, that the project is at an early stage and the initial fee is relatively modest, so we are not changing our estimates.

OptiCept has announced that its customer, La Salud, has received financial support from the European Union, which was a key condition to proceed with the previously communicated order for two OliveCept systems. This development is in line with our expectations and supports our estimates. Therefore, we are not making any adjustments to our estimates.

OptiCept has reached an agreement to bring forward the exercise period for all outstanding warrants, resulting in the subscription of 4,350,000 shares worth around 13 MSEK. We had previously flagged that this was a possibility, so the outcome is roughly in line with our expectations, even though the exercise of the warrants was in our estimates for 2025. This will therefore have a minor impact on our estimates.

OptiCept has announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saab, a key player within the defense industry. The Mou is intended to explore the possibility of forming a long-term partnership in Thailand focused on productivity improvements for the food and forestry sectors.
