IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SECURITY HOLDERS
Re: Compulsory Redemption of Digital Securities issued under the Digital Securities programme of the Issuer
We refer to the base prospectus dated 12 March 2026, relating to the Issuer’s Exchange Traded Products Programme for the issuance of Digital Securities (the “Programme”). We also refer to the trust instrument between the Issuer and the Trustee dated 25 April 2025 as amended and supplemented by the supplemental trust instrument dated 12 March 2026 (the “Trust Instrument”). Capitalised terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust Instrument.
- Redemption of relevant Digital Securities
In accordance with Condition 10.1(a) (Compulsory Redemption on Termination) of the Digital Securities, the Issuer hereby gives Security Holders not less than 30 days’ notice that it has determined that all Digital Securities issued under the Programme are to be Redeemed compulsorily (the “Redemption”). The relevant Digital Securities are listed in the table below. As used herein, “Security Holders” means the holders of such Digital Securities.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this notice shall affect the Single Digital Currency Tracker Certificates or Basket Certificates (namely, CoinShares XBT Bitcoin Tracker One (ISIN: SE0007126024), CoinShares XBT Bitcoin Tracker Euro (ISIN: SE0007525332), CoinShares XBT Ether Tracker One (ISIN: SE0010296574) and CoinShares XBT Ether Tracker Euro (ISIN: SE0010296582)), issued by the Issuer pursuant to the base prospectus dated 17 September 2026, as guaranteed by CoinShares Capital Markets (Jersey) Limited.
- Rationale for the Redemption
The Programme was launched in April 2025 as a Nordic counterpart to the wider European physically-backed exchange-traded product platform operated by the CoinShares group of companies, of which the Issuer is a member (the “Group“). The Programme was constructed deliberately around the same underlying assets and the same physically backed methodology, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and denominated in Swedish krona, for Nordic investors who prefer to trade in their home currency on their home exchange and with a local issuer.
The Group has since decided to concentrate its altcoin and staking exposure on a single platform and will continue exploring the most efficient ways to offer altcoin and staking exposures to Nordic investors going forward. Following that decision, the Issuer has determined that it is appropriate to redeem all outstanding Digital Securities issued under the Programme and to terminate the Programme accordingly.
- Compulsory Redemption Date
The Issuer hereby designates 9 November 2026 as the Compulsory Redemption Date in respect of the Redemption of all of the Digital Securities under the Programme.
- Redemption election
The Issuer reminds Security Holders that Redemption pursuant to Condition 10.1 in respect of any Digital Security will be effected by Cash Settlement in accordance with Condition 10.8 (Payments of Cash on Compulsory Redemption) unless the Security Holder in respect of the Digital Security has, no later than 26 October 2026 (being ten Issuer Business Days prior to the Compulsory Redemption Date), delivered to the Issuer a valid Redemption Notice specifying Physical Delivery and effected an Acceptable Delivery in respect of the Digital Securities to be Redeemed. Where Redemption pursuant to Condition 10.1 in respect of any Digital Security is to be effected by Physical Delivery, Condition 10.7 (Delivery of Digital Currency on Compulsory Redemption) will apply. Redemption Notices specifying Physical Delivery should be sent to ir@xbtprovider.com.
- Redemption procedure
Subject to the above, settlement of the Issuer’s Redemption Obligations on Redemption pursuant to Condition 10.1 shall be effected on the Compulsory Redemption Date or such later date as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable and in any event by 30 November 2026 (being the fifteenth Issuer Business Day after the Compulsory Redemption Date). The Compulsory Redemption Date or the aforementioned later date is referred to herein as the “Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date”.
Where the Redemption is being effected by Cash Settlement:
(i) The Issuer will, in accordance with Condition 10.8 (Payments of Cash on Compulsory Redemption), transfer the aggregate Redemption Amount with respect to the Digital Securities in the Settlement Currency (being Swedish Krona) on the Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date, or, if such date is not a Clearing System Business Day, on the immediately following Clearing System Business Day, to the relevant Security Holder in accordance with Condition 29 (Payment Provisions).
(ii) The Redemption Amount will be an amount in the Settlement Currency equal to the net proceeds of sale (and conversion into the Settlement Currency if not sold for cash in the Settlement Currency) of the aggregate Coin Entitlement in Digital Currency of the relevant Underlying Type of such Digital Securities rounded down to the Delivery Precision Level of such Digital Securities as at the date on which settlement of such sale was completed less the Redemption Fee and any other Redemption Deductions.
(iii) The Redemption Fee in relation to the Redemption shall be nil. Redemption Deductions include the costs, charges and/or fees incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Redemption, as more fully set out in the definition thereof in the Conditions.
Where the Redemption is being effected by Physical Delivery:
(i) The Issuer will, in accordance with Condition 10.7 (Delivery of Digital Currency on Compulsory Redemption), instruct the Custodian to transfer Digital Currency of the Underlying Type attributable to or forming part of the Secured Property in respect of such Digital Securities, in an amount (rounded down to the Delivery Precision Level) equal to the Redemption Amount, calculated as at the Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date, to the relevant Security Holder Account. Such Digital Currency will be delivered to such account on the Compulsory Redemption Settlement Date.
(ii) The Redemption Amount will be the aggregate Coin Entitlement in Digital Currency of the relevant Underlying Type of such Digital Securities as at the Settlement Date rounded down to the Delivery Precision Level less an amount of such Digital Currency having a value equal (in the opinion of the Determination Agent) to the Redemption Fee and any other Redemption Deductions rounded up to the Delivery Precision Level.
(iii) The Redemption Fee in relation to the Redemption shall be nil. Redemption Deductions include the costs, charges and/or fees incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Redemption as more fully set out in the definition thereof in the Conditions and which will include, without limitation, any costs incurred by the Issuer, the Custodian(s), the Coin Sales Agent or any other of the Issuer’s agents as part of a sale or purchase of Digital Currency. In this context, a Physical Delivery Fee of one (1) per cent. of the applicable Coin Entitlement will be charged under limb (a) of the definition of Redemption Deductions.
The provisions and procedures described above are qualified entirely by, and subject to, the more detailed terms and definitions set out in the Conditions relating to the Digital Securities.
- Other
This notice of Compulsory Redemption is governed by English law and is given by CoinShares XBT Provider AB (publ) as Issuer. The Issuer approved the Redemption of Digital Securities by resolutions dated 25 August 2026.

1. Inlösen av berörda digitala värdepapper
I enlighet med Villkor 10.1(a) (Obligatorisk Inlösen vid Upphörande, eng. Compulsory Redemption on Termination) för de Digitala Värdepapperen meddelar Emittenten härmed Värdepappersinnehavarna (eng. Securityholders) med minst 30 dagars varsel att Emittenten har beslutat att alla Digitala Värdepapper som emitterats inom ramen för programmet ska lösas in obligatoriskt (”Inlösen”, eng. Redemption).

2. Motivering till Inlösen
Programmet lanserades i april 2025 som en nordisk motsvarighet till den bredare europeiska plattformen för fysiskt backade börshandlade produkter som drivs av CoinShares-koncernen, där Emittenten ingår (”Koncernen”, eng. the Group). Programmet utformades medvetet kring samma underliggande tillgångar och samma metod för fysisk backning, noterat på Nasdaq Stockholm och denominerat i svenska kronor, för nordiska investerare som föredrar att handla i sin hemvaluta på sin hembörs och med en lokal emittent.
Koncernen har sedan dess beslutat att koncentrera sin exponering mot altcoins och staking till en enda plattform och kommer även framöver att fortsätta utforska de mest effektiva sätten att erbjuda nordiska investerare exponering mot altcoins och staking. Till följd av detta beslut har Emittenten beslutat att det är lämpligt att lösa in alla utestående Digitala Värdepapper som emitterats inom ramen för Programmet och att därmed avsluta Programmet.
3. Datum för obligatorisk inlösen
Emittenten fastställer härmed den 9 november 2026 som datum för Obligatorisk Inlösen avseende Inlösen av alla Digitala Värdepapper inom ramen för Programmet.
4. Val av Inlösen
Emittenten påminner Värdepappersinnehavarna om att Inlösen enligt villkor 10.1 avseende ett Digitalt Värdepapper kommer att ske genom Kontantavräkning (eng. Cash Settlement) i enlighet med villkor 10.8 (Kontantbetalningar vid Obligatorisk Inlösen, eng. Payments of Cash on Compulsory Redemption), såvida inte Värdepappersinnehavaren avseende det Digitala Värdepapperet senast 26 oktober 2026 (vilket motsvarar tio Emittentbankdagar (eng. Issuer Business Days) före den Obligatoriska Inlösendagen (eng. Compulsory Redemption Date)), har lämnat in en giltig Inlösenanmälan (eng. Redemption Notice) till Emittenten där Fysisk Leverans (eng. Physical Delivery) anges och genomfört en godtagbar leverans avseende de Digitala Värdepapper som ska lösas in. Om Inlösen enligt villkor 10.1 avseende ett Digitalt Värdepapper ska ske genom fysisk leverans, gäller villkor 10.7 (Leverans av Digital Valuta vid Obligatorisk Inlösen). Inlösenanmälan där Fysisk Leverans anges ska skickas till ir@xbtprovider.com.
5. Inlösenförfarande
Med förbehåll för ovanstående ska avvecklingen av Emittentens Inlösenförpliktelser (eng. Redemption Obligations) vid Inlösen enligt villkor 10.1 ske på den Obligatoriska Inlösendagen eller ett senare datum så snart därefter som det är rimligt möjligt och under alla omständigheter senast den 30 november 2026 (vilket är den femtonde Emittentbankdagen efter den Obligatoriska Inlösendagen). Den Obligatoriska Inlösendagen eller det ovannämnda senare datumet benämns här ”Avvecklingsdagen för Obligatorisk Inlösen” (eng. Compulosry Redemption Settlement Date).
Om Inlösen sker genom Kontantavräkning:
(i) Emittenten ska, i enlighet med villkor 10.8 (Kontantbetalningar vid Obligatorisk Inlösen, eng. Payments of Cahs on Compulsory Redemption), överföra det sammanlagda Inlösenbeloppet (eng. Redemption Amount) avseende de Digitala Värdepapperen i Avvecklingsvalutan (eng. Settlement Currency) (d.v.s. svenska kronor) på Avvecklingsdagen för Obligatorisk Inlösen, eller, om detta datum inte är en Bankdag i Clearingsystemet (eng. Clearing System Business Day), på den omedelbart efterföljande Bankdagen i Clearingsystemet, till den berörda Värdepappersinnehavaren i enlighet med villkor 29 (Betalningsbestämmelser).
(ii) Inlösenbeloppet ska utgöras av ett belopp i Avvecklingsvalutan som motsvarar nettointäkterna från försäljningen (och omräkningen till Avvecklingsvalutan om försäljningen inte skett mot kontanter i Avvecklingsvalutan) av den sammanlagda Mynträttigheten (eng. Coin Entitlement) i Digital Valuta av den relevanta Underliggande Typen (eng. Underlying Type) för sådana Digitala Värdepapper, avrundat nedåt till Leveransprecisionsnivån (eng. Delivery Precision Level) för sådana Digitala Värdepapper per den dag då avvecklingen av sådan försäljning slutfördes, med avdrag för Inlösenavgiften (eng. Redemption Fee) och eventuella övriga Inlösenavdrag (eng.
Redemption Deductions).
(iii) Inlösenavgiften i samband med Inlösen ska vara noll. Inlösenavdrag omfattar de kostnader, avgifter och/eller arvoden som Emittenten ådrar sig i samband med inlösen, vilket beskrivs närmare i definitionen av detta begrepp i villkoren.
Om Inlösen sker genom Fysisk Leverans:
(i) Emittenten ska, i enlighet med villkor 10.7 (Leverans av Digital Valuta vid Obligatorisk Inlösen, eng. Delivery of Digital Currency on Compulsory Redemption), ge Förvaringsinstitutet (eng. Custodian) i uppdrag att överföra Digital Valuta av den
Underliggande Typen som kan hänföras till eller utgör en del av den Pantsatta Egendomen (eng. Secured Property) avseende sådana Digitala Värdepapper, till ett belopp (avrundat nedåt till Leveransprecisionsnivån) som motsvarar Inlösenbeloppet, beräknat per Avvecklingsdagen för Obligatorisk Inlösen, till det berörda Värdepappersinnehavarkontot (eng. Security Holder Account). Sådan Digital Valuta kommer att levereras till det kontot på Avvecklingsdagen för Obligatorisk Inlösen.
(ii) Inlösenbeloppet ska utgöras av den sammanlagda Mynträttigheten i Digital Valuta av den relevanta Underliggande Typen för sådana Digitala Värdepapper per Avvecklingsdagen, avrundat nedåt till Leveransprecisionsnivån, med avdrag för ett belopp av sådan Digital Valuta vars värde (enligt Fastställelseagentens (eng. Determination Agent) bedömning) motsvarar Inlösenavgiften och eventuella andra Inlösenavdrag, avrundat uppåt till Leveransprecisionsnivån.
(iii) Inlösenavgiften i samband med Inlösen ska vara noll. Inlösenavdrag omfattar de kostnader, avgifter och/eller arvoden som Emittenten ådrar sig i samband med Inlösen, såsom närmare anges i definitionen av dessa i Villkor, och som utan begränsning ska omfatta alla kostnader som Emittenten, Förvaringsinstitut, Myntförsäljningsagenten (eng. Coin Sales Agent) eller någon annan av Emittentens ombud ådrar sig som en del av en försäljning eller ett köp av Digital Valuta. I detta sammanhang kommer en Avgift för Fysisk Leverans på en (1) procent av den tillämpliga Mynträttigheten att debiteras enligt punkt (a) i definitionen av Inlösenavdrag.

Singapore focuses on infrastructure readiness, Australia advances on AI returns, Japan prioritizes compliance, and South Korea highlights interconnection as markets take different paths to value
SINGAPORE, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), the world’s largest cloud- and carrier-neutral data center platform, recently released its 2026 Global Data Insights Survey (GDIS), showing strong AI investment momentum across the region alongside significant differences in how individual markets are turning that investment into business value.
Based on the Asia Pacific (APAC) findings, nearly six in ten (59%) of the region’s respondents expect their organizations to increase AI investment by more than 25% in 2026 compared with 2025, versus 55% globally. More than one-third (36%) have already identified repeatable, high-impact AI use cases, while a similar proportion reports measurable business outcomes from AI.
Beneath the regional picture, the findings show that enterprises are progressing at different stages and prioritizing different requirements as they move AI into wider deployment.
APAC markets are taking different routes from AI investment to value
In Australia, enterprises appear further along in converting AI deployment into financial returns. One-third (33%) of organizations say they are currently realizing AI ROI, more than double the APAC average of 16%. Nearly half (47%) also have real-time AI in deployment, compared with 36% across the region.
In Japan, compliance features prominently in how respondents assess AI strategy and infrastructure decisions. 30% of respondents rank ensuring compliance with AI and data privacy regulations as the top requirement for a successful AI strategy, compared with 18% across APAC. When deciding where to host AI workloads, 22% rank regulatory compliance as their top consideration, compared with 12% regionally.
In Singapore, infrastructure readiness is becoming an important consideration as enterprises advance their AI plans. Half (50%) of respondents cite a lack of specialized AI infrastructure as a challenge, compared with 40% across APAC, while 39% are already reporting measurable business outcomes from AI.
In South Korea, enterprises emphasize connecting distributed data sources to support AI execution. Nearly a quarter (24%) of respondents rank reliable interconnection first among requirements for AI strategy success, compared with 14% across APAC. Almost half (46%) report integrated interconnection across key cloud and infrastructure platforms or architecture centered on dynamic, on-demand interconnection.
“AI investment is accelerating across APAC, and enterprises are entering the next phase with different priorities. As they scale AI, organizations are balancing priorities that range from demonstrating returns and preparing infrastructure to meeting compliance requirements and connecting distributed environments,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of APAC at Digital Realty.
“These differences matter for enterprises operating across the region. Infrastructure decisions need to reflect the requirements of each market and workload, while giving organizations the flexibility to connect and grow across APAC.”
Different AI paths are shaping infrastructure decisions
As enterprises put more investment behind AI, the survey indicates that decisions around infrastructure and data location are becoming more closely tied to how AI is deployed.
Across APAC, 92% of respondents tie their data-location strategy to their AI plans. At the same time, 88% already follow a distributed data approach, meaning enterprise data, applications and workloads increasingly sit across multiple locations and environments.
Connecting those environments remains a challenge. Only 22% of APAC respondents describe their hybrid infrastructure as fully integrated, even as enterprises increasingly need to bring together data, compute, clouds and partners across markets.
This creates a more complex infrastructure requirement for organizations operating regionally. The location of AI workloads needs to account for factors such as infrastructure availability, performance and local operating requirements, while remaining connected to the wider enterprise architecture.
As AI moves further into production, enterprises will need to make increasingly deliberate choices about where workloads and data reside and how those environments connect. The priority is giving organizations the flexibility to deploy according to local requirements without creating disconnected infrastructure across the region. Through PlatformDIGITAL®, Digital Realty provides AI-ready infrastructure and connectivity across markets, helping customers bring together the data, applications, clouds and ecosystems they need as their AI strategies evolve.
The research surveyed 2,131 IT decision-makers across 19 countries, including 707 respondents across seven APAC markets: Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea.

Vitry-le-François, France – September 22, 2026, 8:00 am (CEST)
Haffner Energy launches SB-HEFA (Solid Biomass to HEFA), an innovative process for producing renewable diesel and SAF based on its proprietary thermolysis technology, which directly converts solid biomass into liquid without going through syngas. With feedstock available at less than 20% of the cost of the oils used in HEFA/HVO pathways, together with a very short industrial process chain and improved energy efficiency, Haffner Energy is targeting an approximately 50% reduction in the levelised cost of production (LCOE). SB-HEFA is thus reshaping the economics of the SAF and renewable diesel markets.
Haffner Energy’s thermolysis technology already generates oil, which is immediately converted into non-condensable gases in the process used to produce syngas, hydrogen, methane or methanol. The SB-HEFA process eliminates the reforming step used to convert the oil into gas. Instead, the thermolysis oil is extracted and stabilised through immediate cooling, before undergoing filtration followed by hydrodeoxygenation using proven technologies from the HEFA industry.
“The strength of SB-HEFA lies in combining our existing core technology with a simple, already industrialised conversion chain. By radically transforming the economics of renewable diesel and SAF, SB-HEFA creates the conditions for their large-scale deployment. This represents a paradigm shift for both markets,” said Philippe Haffner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Haffner Energy.
Several major players in the aviation ecosystem have already entered into discussions with Haffner Energy regarding SB-HEFA.
Renewable diesel, which relies on the same technology, is notably one of the key pillars of the Multi-Energy Hubs being developed in Canada with Mundi Énergies.
A radically different economic equation
Feedstock is by far the largest cost component in the production of HEFA fuels (SAF and renewable diesel). In 2026, used cooking oil (UCO) trades in Europe at around €1,000 to €1,200 per tonne1, equivalent to €100 to €120/MWh of primary energy. By contrast, the residual solid biomass used to feed SB-HEFA is typically available at between €10 and €30/MWh, representing a cost that is, on average, five times lower.
SB-HEFA also provides a radically more direct, simpler and more cost-effective route to SAF production than alternative technologies: converting solids directly into liquids without going through a gas phase. Haffner Energy therefore estimates that the CAPEX of an SB-HEFA facility should be approximately one-third that of a solid-biomass-to-liquid-fuels conversion chain based on Fischer-Tropsch or methanol synthesis, while also delivering improved energy efficiency.
Based on its techno-economic model, Haffner Energy is therefore targeting an approximately 50% reduction in the levelised cost of production of renewable diesel and SAF compared with other pathways, including HEFA.
Renewable diesel: SB-HEFA’s first market
Haffner Energy will initially focus the industrial development of SB-HEFA on renewable diesel. Diesel accounts for approximately 34% of refined petroleum products2, compared with 9% for kerosene, making it a market nearly four times larger by volume.
Renewable diesel and SAF are two closely related fuels produced through the same conversion chain. Renewable diesel, however, is subject to significantly fewer technical and regulatory constraints than SAF, enabling faster market access.
Unlike conventional biodiesel (FAME), renewable diesel is a hydrocarbon that is chemically very similar to fossil diesel and can therefore be used as a direct substitute.
SB-HEFA aims to bring its cost significantly closer to that of fossil diesel. Its potential markets are substantial, including heavy-duty road transport, agricultural and construction machinery, rail, maritime transport and power generation.
Haffner Energy plans to commission a first complete industrial demonstrator as early as 2027/2028, while non-hydrotreated oil can already be produced today at its Marolles site.
SAF: 2030 is already here
Global SAF production still accounts for only 0.6%3 of kerosene consumption, while its cost is currently two to three times higher4. HEFA is by far the leading commercial SAF pathway today, but its development is constrained by the availability and cost of oils and fats. SB-HEFA aims to change this equation by providing access to solid biomass feedstocks that are far more abundant and several times less expensive.
“The main challenge facing SAF today is economics,” said Marcella Franchi, Business Development Director at Haffner Energy. “The key is to overcome the barrier of its high cost while broadening access to sustainable feedstocks that are available at scale. SB-HEFA is specifically designed to address both challenges: to bring the cost of SAF significantly closer to that of fossil kerosene, thereby making the blending targets set by governments and international institutions achievable.”
Haffner Energy intends to initiate the ASTM qualification process for the SB-HEFA pathway to SAF production, drawing in particular on the precedent set by HC-HEFA, the first pathway to benefit from the ASTM D4054 accelerated evaluation process (“Fast Track”) prior to its incorporation into ASTM D7566.
The objective is to enable the commercial deployment of SB-HEFA in aviation from 2030. This timeframe coincides with the increase in the minimum SAF blending mandate in Europe to 6%5.
Selling equipment and licences simultaneously
SB-HEFA forms part of Haffner Energy’s technology licensing business model, developed alongside its equipment supply activities, notably illustrated by the CORE100 programme. While CORE100 draws on the Company’s industrial capacity and generates revenue through equipment sales, SB-HEFA will primarily generate licensing revenue without placing significant demands on this capacity. In this context, Haffner Energy is targeting several million euros in upfront fees from the granting of technology licences, supplemented by royalties as well as revenue from services and the supply of strategic components.
In terms of EBITDA contribution, each €1 million in upfront payments or royalties from a licence is equivalent to approximately €3 million in revenue generated through equipment sales. Over the longer term, Haffner Energy also intends to take equity stakes in selected projects, with a view to generating recurring revenue from their operations.
The development of SB-HEFA will be supported by SAF Zero, a dedicated entity focused on developing the SAF business through technology licensing, as well as by Mundi Haffner Technologies, Inc. in Canada. Haffner Energy is also in advanced discussions with an investment bank with a view to appointing it to identify industrial and financial partners that would invest in SAF Zero and finance its development.
The development of SAF Zero is intended to be financed by its partners, without drawing on Haffner Energy’s own financial resources or resulting in any dilution of its shareholders in connection with such financing.
From solid to liquid without going through gas
Producing renewable hydrocarbons from solid biomass is not in itself new. Existing pathways, however, including Fischer-Tropsch, require a complex and highly costly conversion chain involving the production of elementary molecules in gaseous form, which must then be recombined into longer molecules in liquid form.
SB-HEFA oil differs fundamentally from conventional pyrolysis oils, including those produced through fast pyrolysis. The combination of torrefied biomass and the extremely short residence times used in Haffner Energy’s thermolysis process is designed to produce an intermediate that is far better suited to hydrotreatment, notably due to its lower oxygen content and acidity, as well as its very low residual solid particle content.
