Dear nominees and other market participants holding Olink Holding AB (publ) common shares, ISIN SE0015797568
Reference is made to the previously announced tender offer (the “Offer”) by Orion Acquisition AB for all the outstanding common shares and ADSs of Olink Holding AB (publ), which was
commenced on October 31, 2023.
The initial acceptance period for the Offer will expire one minute after 11:59 p.m. Swedish time on November 30, 2023, unless the Offer period is extended or earlier terminated. In
order to tender common shares, nominees and directly registered holders of common shares must file and submit to DNB Markets the Acceptance Form for Shares according to the instructions on such form prior to the expiration of such acceptance period.
The consideration to be paid in exchange for the tender of shares is USD $26.00 per common share and will be wired in USD. Nominees and directly registered Euroclear account owners
will receive the payment to their cash account that is linked to the securities account. If the receiving account is a normal SEK account or is otherwise not eligible to receive funds in USD, the cash consideration will be subject to an automatic
currency exchange from USD to SEK. Directly registered shareholders and nominees who wish to receive the cash consideration in USD and avoid the automatic currency exchange must have a USD-eligible account and should contact DNB Markets for further
details.
Please refer to the Offer materials previously distributed, including the Offer to purchase and related Acceptance Form for Shares, for specific instructions on how to tender your
common shares and for more information regarding the Offer.

Hänvisning görs till det offentliggjorda uppköpserbjudandet (”Erbjudandet”) från Orion Acquisition AB avseende samtliga utestående stamaktier och amerikanska depåbevis i Olink Holding
AB (publ) som inleddes den 31 oktober 2023.
Acceptperioden för Erbjudandet kommer att upphöra en minut efter 23:59 svensk tid den 30 november 2023, om inte acceptperioden förlängs eller avslutas tidigare. Förvaltare och
direktregistrerade innehavare av stamaktier som önskar acceptera Erbjudandet måste lämna in acceptformuläret till DNB Markets enligt instruktionerna angivna på formuläret innan acceptperioden upphör.
Ersättningen för inlämnade aktier i Erbjudandet är 26,00 USD per stamaktie och betalning kommer att ske i USD. Förvaltare och direktregistrerade Euroclear-kontohavare kommer att få
betalningen till sitt bankkonto som är kopplat till VP-kontot. Om det mottagande kontot är ett SEK-konto eller på annat sätt inte är berättigat att ta emot betalningsmedel i USD, kommer kontantvederlaget att genomgå en automatisk valutaväxling från
USD till SEK. Direktregistrerade aktieägare och förvaltare som vill erhålla kontantvederlag i USD och undvika en automatisk valutaväxling måste ha ett USD-berättigat konto och bör kontakta DNB Markets för ytterligare information.
