Investment and desicion process

An overview of SamInvest’s investment and decision process is outlined below.

1. SamInvest becomes aware of the investment prospect either via direct contact with the company or via collaborating parties.

2. SamInvest evaluates whether the investment prospect fulfils the investment terms and conditions.

3. SamInvest always invests together with a private partner who must fulfil certain terms and conditions.

If the collaborating party is new and fulfils the terms the collaboration agreement is signed.

4. The collaborating party is responsible for carrying out the business analysis of the investment prospect and for keeping SamInvest informed. The costs of the purchase of external services in connection with the evaluation can be shared with SamInvest.

5. The collaborating party negotiates the price of shares and makes its own decision about making an investment or declining the investment.

6. After that SamInvest's board makes a decision about the investment – on the same terms that the collaborating party negotiated.

7. Procedures for follow up and reporting are decided on jointly by SamInvest, the collaborating party and associated company. The collaborating party appoints a board member on the associated company.

8. The invested sum is paid to the associated company.
