Ranplan in brief and rationalefor the Offering

Ranplan is a software company operating inplanning, simulation and optimization of telecom networks. Today, 80 percent ofall mobile traffic is generated within buildings, while only 2 percent of allcommercial buildings have dedicated wireless indoor networks. This leads toinadequate connections (which are expected to increase due to the introductionof 5G), which in turn leads to dissatisfied mobile users. In order to solvethis problem, Ranplan has developed a software program at the outermost edge oftechnology, through which Ranplan's customers save both money and receivesatisfied end customers. Today, the Company is the only company in the marketcapable of offering a software tool that can plan indoor and outdoorenvironments in coordination while providing the most accurate predictionmodels. Therefore, Ranplan has a unique position in its market segment. 2018has begun well with almost a doubling of revenues compared to the correspondingquarter of 2017.

The Company has recently entered intoagreements with companies such as Huawei, TEOCO and Ericsson and has receivedVerizon approval to allow Verizon subcontractors to use the Ranplan suite oftools. In order to capitalize on the Company's favorable market position,Ranplan now plans to raise SEK 62 million, of which the entire amount isguaranteed. The raised capital will predominately be used for sales andmarketing but also for product development and strengthening the Company'sbalance sheet. Ranplan has chosen First North in Stockholm mainly as a resultof the strong technical knowledge and capital adequacy of the Swedish market, Nasdaq'sglobal brand. This is of significant importance to Ranplan's customers andpartners because a significant part of the Company's operations are expected tobe conducted on the North American and Asian continents, and consequently alisting on such a market makes it attractive for raising liquidity.
