Comments by the CEO

Market conditions remained largely unchanged during the second quarter, with subdued deal activity and cautious sentiment persisting across private markets. Against this backdrop, the NAV per share declined by 3.6%, driven by continued underperformance from one manager. The remainder of the fund portfolio was broadly flat, reflecting the generally stable environment in which most of NAXS’s underlying portfolio companies are operating.

In line with the revised strategy announced in November 2025, NAXS deployed during the quarter approximately MSEK 19 acquiring shares in Tången Industrikapital AB, first in its IPO on Nasdaq Stockholm and subsequently in the open market. We believe Tången provides exposure to a well-positioned industrial portfolio at an attractive entry price, while the listed shares ensure that the investment remains liquid, an important consideration given our focus on maintaining balance sheet flexibility.

In the near term, we intend to continue capitalising on opportunities that may arise as market conditions evolve.
