Other events during the quarter

• During the quarter, Flat made an investment of 300 KUSD, corresponding to c. 3.1 MSEK in a US-based AI company. Flat has indicated interest in a larger ticket in the company, but since the round has not yet been completed, we will return with more information. 
• During the quarter, an investment of 74 KSEK was also made in Quartr.
• In December 2023, Adobe and Figma announced that the two parties have entered into a mutual agreement to terminate the merger agreement entered into in September 2022.
