Highlights
Growth fund made the largest exit in
CapMan’s history
In June, the CapMan Growth Equity Fund 2017 sold the semicon-
ductor equipment company
Picosun
to US-based leading semicon-
ductor equipment company Applied Materials Inc. The exit is the
largest in CapMan’s operating history, measured by the portfolio
company’s exit value. Picosun is a highly successful growth story
which achieved global recognition and a loyal customer base during
CapMan’s ownership period. The investment was very successful,
and the exit took the first Growth fund into carry.
CapMan Growth also sold its share in marketing service provider
Avidly
in the early autumn 2022. The fund invested in Avidly in
2018.
CapMan issued a
sustainability-linked bond
CapMan issued a €40 million sustainability-
linked bond as the first public company in
Finland. The bond matures in 2027 with a
fixed annual interest of 4.5%. The bond was
issued under CapMan’s Sustainability-Linked
Finance Framework. By setting up the Frame-
work, CapMan strives to contribute to solving
the major issues related to climate change
and to establish a structure for integrating
sustainability features in its financing. The
Framework has been established in accord-
ance with the Sustainability-Linked Bond
Principles (SLBP).
CapMan announced a new strategy
– objective to double assets under
management
In September CapMan announced its new
strategy and updated its long-term financial
objectives. The company’s strategic objective is
to double its assets under management to €10
billion over the next five years. Value creation for
customers remains at the core of the strategy
which in turn drives value creation for share-
holders through growth and result improvement.
Growth is sought from current investment areas
and products enabled by strong investment
returns, expanding international investment
base, and M&A. In addition, CapMan’s vision
is to be the most responsible Nordic private
assets company. A commitment to responsible
practices guides all the company’s operations,
and the success of the sustainability strategy
will be monitored through KPIs that follow GHG
emissions, employee satisfaction and diversity
of management.

CapMan Buyout’s newest fund, CapMan
Buyout XI, made multiple investments during
2022. In May, the fund invested in Nordic lift
modernisation market leader Hydroware. The
company has a successful history of strong
growth and is currently expanding in the large
and growing traction lift market. Buyout’s
objective is to expedite the company’s growth
story and international expansion. In June,
the fund invested in award-winning Finnish
architectural firm SARC Architects. The firm
is one of the leading architectural firms in
Finland, specialised in demanding architectur-
al projects and the development of urban en-
Special Situations continued its strategy
and made two new investments
CapMan’s first Special Situations fund made two new investments in
2022. In September the fund invested in Niemi Services, the leading
moving and logistics services provider in Finland. The company is a
forerunner in sustainability; its fleet runs on 100% fossil-free fuel, and it
has made investments in developing services based on circular economy.
The fund’s objective is to support the company’s growth as the lead-
ing moving and logistic services provider in Finland. In December, the
fund invested in building technology services contractor Aro Systems.
The company is one of the leading electrical and HVAC project service
contractors and technical building service and maintenance providers in
Finland. The building technology market is growing and undergoing rapid
transition. The fund’s target is to develop the company as a frontrunner
in energy efficient solutions. The €77 million Special Situations Fund has
made five investments to date and continues investing.
CapMan’s second Growth fund continued
with the successful strategy of the first fund,
making two investments in interesting growth
companies. In the spring 2022, the fund
invested in multi-cloud company Cloud2.
Most larger companies today use a mini-
mum of two public clouds and the ongoing
cloud transformation trend has accelerated
Cloud2’s strong growth. CapMan Growth
banks on the growth of the public cloud
market and Cloud2’s broad expertise.
In October the fund invested in growing finan-
cial management software company Fennoa,
whose revenue and profitability has increased
tenfold during the last few years. The growth
has first and foremost been driven by the
high-quality solution which the company
develops continuously. The Growth team aims
to continue developing the company together
with its owners towards a market leader posi-
tion. The €97 million 2020 vintage fund has
significant dry powder remaining for new and
add-on investments.
CapMan’s newest Growth fund invested in multi-cloud services
and financial management software
vironments. Buyout aims to support SARC in
further developing and growing their business
towards becoming an even more prominent
player in their field. Later in the summer, the
fund invested in fast-growing cybersecurity
and IT services provider Netox. The company
still holds a relatively small market share
and is in an excellent position to continue
its accelerated growth. Buyout’s target is to
develop the company’s ways of working to
enable future growth. The €190 million fund
continues investing. Buyout VIII exited the
fund’s final portfolio company Fortaco Group.

CapMan divested its subsidiary
JAY Solutions
CapMan Plc and minority owners of JAY have
sold JAY Solutions Oy to Swedish Bas Invest
Ab and JAY’s management. In 2020, JAY’s busi-
ness was separated from the wealth advisory
business in order to develop JAY from a wealth
advisory support function into an independent
provider of analytics and reporting services.
JAY had 20 employees at the end of 2022
and a turnover of MEUR 2.1. The turnover
has grown more than 35% p.a. since 2019.
The transaction closed in February 2023.
CapMan Infra established its second fund
investing in the energy, transportation and
digital communications infrastructure with
a core/core+ focus and €400 million target
size. The fund made its first investment in
solar power developer Skarta Energy, aiming
to transform it into an independent power
producer. The development of solar energy
supports the green transition, while improv-
ing energy security in the Nordic countries.
Skarta Energy will initially focus on solar
power initiatives in Finland and its’ strategy
is to build powerplants and become an
independent power producer.
Infra raised its GRESB evaluation score –
achieved a four-star rating
CapMan Infra received four stars in GRESB’s (Global Real Estate
Sustainability Benchmark) annual ESG assessment of infrastruc-
ture funds. CapMan Nordic Infrastructure I participated in the
GRESB assessment for the second year in a row and reached
sixth place among European benchmarks, advancing seven
places from last year. GRESB assesses and compares the ESG
performance of real assets globally and has become the go-to
benchmark for asset managers and investors when it comes to
reviewing ESG performance of different funds and companies.
In October, CapMan Infra made the first exit
from its first fund as it sold its share of Norled
to its partner CBRE Investment Management.
The exit was the fund’s first. Norled is one of
Norway’s four leading marine transportation
companies. The company is a leader in innova-
tive and environmentally friendly transportation
solutions and has invested significantly in new
types of vessels and eco-friendly technology.
CapMan Infra invested in the company in 2019
and during the fund’s ownership period, Cap-
Man has built Norled into a successful com-
pany by strengthening the management team,
organisation, and tendering capabilities, while
investing significantly into decarbonisation of
the fleet. Norled’s CO2 emissions decreased by
30% from 2019 to 2021.

Real Estate’s value-add funds made several investments and exits
2022 was an active year in CapMan’s value-
add real estate funds. Over the year the funds
invested in several properties throughout
the Nordics, performed exits and continued
the implementation of their real estate
development strategy.
In spring 2022 the CapMan Nordic Real
Estate I fund moved into carry as it exited
Heron City, a shopping centre located in
Stockholm. CapMan invested in the property
in 2016 as the main owner. During its
ownership period the fund made significant
investments in property improvements, of
which many increased the property’s energy
efficiency, decreasing its annual energy usage
by around 3 GWh. During 2022 the fund also
exited Denmark’s only outlet village Ringsted
Outlet.
CapMan Nordic Real Estate II fund sold the
Lybeck office building in Södra Värtan, Stock-
holm and an attractive high-street retail and
office property in central Oslo, which the fund
transformed into a core asset with long stable
income during its ownership period.
Further, following comprehensive refurbish-
ments, an iconic 140-year-old storage and
brewery facility in the Carlsberg district of
Copenhagen is transformed into a high- quality
office property. CapMan leased the space
to Boston Consulting Group and sold the
building to German family-owned investment
company, THI Investments.
The CapMan Nordic Real Estate III fund,
which is in its placement phase, made four
investments in 2022. The fund acquired a
portfolio of four office properties in Helsinki.
The properties have unbeatable public trans-
port connections. CapMan aims to modernise
the spaces and improve the energy efficiency
of the assets. In June, the fund acquired an
airside logistics and last mile asset at Turku
Airport. The fund invested in its first EU
Taxonomy aligned project, which consists of
building two residential apartment buildings
in Turku, Finland. The fund invested in a land-
mark hotel and office property located in the
Royal National City Park in Solna, Sweden.
The Residential fund becomes CapMan’s largest
In June, the CapMan Residential fund
reached €816 million and became CapMan’s
largest fund. The fund made its first Swedish
investment through its acquisition of a
forward funding project in Örebro. The project
includes 139 apartments scheduled for
completion by the end of 2024. The project
has high sustainability ambitions and a clear
green profile, which includes on-site solar col-
lector systems and rainwater collection areas
for re-cycling rainwater within the local green
areas. The project will pursue “Miljöbyggnad”
green building certification at Silver level.
The fund also participated in the GRESB Real
Estate Assessment for the first time this year
and was awarded three stars, which is an
excellent result for a first-year participant.
In January, the CapMan Nordic Property
Income fund (non-UCITS) invested in a ware-
house asset close to Gothenburg in Sweden
and at the end of the year in a light industrial
property in Brabrand, in the Aarhus munici-
pality in Denmark. Both properties are stra-
tegically excellent additions to the fund. The
warehouse asset in Gothenburg is excellent
from a last-mile logistics point of view and the
Brabrand asset which is anchored by a mu-
nicipal tenant on a long-term lease is ideally
positioned to benefit from the rising demand
of light industrial properties in the area.
CapMan Wealth Services developed its Manager Selection offerings and
made commitments to the CWS Investment Partners -programs
During 2022, CapMan Wealth Services devel-
oped its Manager Selection offering both on
the public and private side, and thoroughly
allocated its first CWS Investment Partners
CWSIP -programme fund. Fundraising for the
second fund was also initiated and the first
investment commitments were made by the
end of 2022. The CWSIP-programme invests
in sought after US mid-market funds, along-
side AlpInvest, a leading global private equity
asset manager. By the end of 2022, the CW-
SIP-programme has raised in total around
€140 million. On the public equity side,
there was strong demand for allocation and
sustainability mandates and around €100
million was raised for the various public
market-focused wealth services mandates
during 2022.
An iconic 140-year-old building in the Carlsberg district of Copenhagen which is being refurbished and
transformed into a high-quality office property, was sold in August 2022.

CEO’S REVIEW
Record year – our sustainability-
focused strategy generates results
2022 was an exceptional year. A war in
Europe, an energy crisis, the aftermath of the
pandemic, rising interest rates and infla-
tion impacted investment decisions, return
expectations, the development of portfolio
companies and assets, and the execution of
projects in a complex manner, while mak-
ing our operating environment challenging
and difficult to predict. That said, we have
successfully navigated the gusts and currents,
avoided sharp rocks and arrived safely at
new harbours following appropriate strategic
decisions.
CapMan’s result was excellent in 2022. Our
turnover grew 28 per cent to €68 million and
comparable operating profit 25 per cent to
€56 million. The comparable earnings per
share was 26 cents. This is a formidable
accomplishment in uncertain conditions.
Successful fundraising
and continuously growing
profitability
We succeeded with our fundraising in a chal-
lenging market. Our assets under manage-
ment were approx. €5 billion at the end of
CapMan’s result for 2022
was the strongest over the
company’s operating history.
I am especially proud, that
the result was made in
an exceptionally difficult
operating environment.
This demonstrates that our
strategy has focused on our
strengths. The building blocks
of the unlisted market remain
on a steady foundation.
2022 and we raised more than €650 million
in new capital during the year. Increasing the
share of international investors is a corner-
stone of our fundraising strategy. This group
of investors is especially interested in our real
estate and infrastructure focused strategies.
Investors coming from outside the Nordic
countries account for approx. 55 per cent of
our assets under management. This share has
increased significantly over the past five years
from approx. 10 per cent. Simultaneously, the
number of smaller local investors has increased.
We have a significant amount of capital to
deploy, so-called dry powder, at our dispos-
al. Many funds raised as of late are open to
allocate capital to new opportunities and the
prevailing business environment allows for
making investments with a lasting impact.
Management fees paid by funds and fees from
services are a key component of CapMan’s
earnings and are mainly directed by grow-
ing assets under management. Our Service
business has also continued developing well
last year. The turnover of procurement service
CaPS grew almost 30 per cent and the com-
pany is very profitable. Fee-based profitability
continued on its growth trajectory spanning
several years and was at a record level at
the end of 2022. We focus on the long-term
growth of fee profitability and expect this
development to continue also this year.
Value creation in the portfolio
as a driver for exits and carry
Over the last year, we have realised value in
our funds by selling several companies. We
made our largest exit based on enterprise
value at exit as our first Growth fund sold
Picosun to the U.S. based Applied Materials
Inc. The exit took the fund to carry and made
it one of the best performing in our operating
history.

Our first Nordic value-add real estate fund
also started generating carried interest in
2022. We receive carried interest from each
new exit from a fund in carry and the share of
this income stream has increased significantly
compared to the past few years. In addition
to funds already in carry, CapMan manages
several funds that are approaching carry.
The foundation for good exits is in successful
value creation, which is demonstrated among
others by the fair value changes of investments
made from the balance sheet mainly into
our own funds. In 2022, the fair value of our
investments increased 25 per cent, which is
very commendable given that the OMX Nordic
Mid Cap index, which represents the devel-
opment of the Nordic mid-cap stock market,
decreased 27 per cent over the same period.
A vision founded in
sustainability
CapMan’s vision is to be the most sustain-
able private asset company in the Nordics.
This vision includes our own activities as well
as those of our funds under management,
through which our impact has a wide reach
through 40 portfolio companies and over 200
properties. As a Nordic company we can be a
frontrunner globally.
How do we execute this vision? Climate
change and its prevention is perhaps one of
the most critical challenges facing human-
kind. Through our own activities, we want
to impact solutions that mitigate climate
change. In the beginning of 2022 we com-
mitted to the Science Based Targets initiative
and are now establishing a roadmap to reach
carbon neutrality. As an active owner, CapMan
can promote the green transition and the
wellbeing of employees and tenants in our
portfolio companies and properties.
On the social side, we are committed to main-
taining a high level of employee satisfaction
and to promote a diverse and inclusive work-
place. We achieved an eNPS score of 58 in
our latest employee satisfaction survey, which
signifies that our employees are very happy to
recommend CapMan as an employer. We have
included steps in our recruitment processes
to better take into account the diversity of
candidates and want to be an attractive em-
ployer also in the future.
The growth prospects for
the private asset industry
support CapMan’s growth
strategy
In 2022, we reached many of the objectives
that we had established over the previous
strategy period. We grew assets under
management, expanded our investor base
and brought several new products to market.
Over the past five years, we have established
several new strategies that invest in the unlist-
ed market and almost ten new funds.
Following these accomplishments, we
launched our new strategy in autumn 2022.
The cornerstones of this strategy are based
on a fast-changing society, the demands of
our customers and our own strengths.
As an active investor, CapMan promotes the green
transition in our portfolio companies and properties.
CapMan’s strategic objective is to double
assets under management to €10 billion over
the next five years. This ambitious objective
is made possible by several years of work to
expand the product portfolio and grow the
customer base.
Our objectives are based on our own compet-
itive advantages and still positive long-term
market outlook. Despite slowing growth and
general economic distress, the trends that
support the private assets market remain
strong over the long term. Based on recent
research by Preqin, the global growth of
unlisted assets under management is set to
slow compared to the last three years, but still
remain at a strong 12 per cent p.a. over the
next five years.
Investments in growth and
internationalisation position
us to meet our long-term
objectives
Following the new strategy, we also updated
our long-term financial objectives. The com-
bined growth objective for the Management
Company and the Service business before car-
ried interest income was raised to 15 per cent
p.a. on average from the previous 10 per cent
p.a. Our equity ratio target is more than 50
per cent compared to more than 60 per cent
previously. The objective for return on equity
is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average and
remained unchanged. CapMan’s objective
to pay an annually increasing dividend to
its shareholders also remained unchanged.
These objectives reflect our long-term outlook
as well as a step-up in our ambition level. We
achieved all targets at the end of 2022.
This is my last review as CEO of CapMan. In
February 2023, I announced my transition
to CapMan’s Board of Dircetors as executive
Chair of the Board, conditional on the decision
of the Annual General Meeting. I am proud
of the current state of our company and of
everything that we have accomplished together.
Results have grown since 2016 and we have
raised our dividend for 10 consecutive years.
The total return of CapMan’s share has been
approx. 20 per cent p.a. over the past six years.
Over the next few years, we continue to focus
on growth and on broadening and internation-
alising our business in accordance with the
strategy defined in 2022. At the core remains
active and responsible value creation work for
the enrichment of our customers, employees,
shareholders and society.

Ambition to double AUM to €10 billion in 5 years
CapMan launched a new
strategy in 2022. Our vision
is to be the most responsible
private asset company in the
Nordics. Our strategic objective
is to double our assets under
management (AUM) to €10
billion in five years.
Our new strategy is built around the following
six focus areas, which will contribute towards the
objective:
1. Deliver top investment performance through
active value creation. Attractive returns create
satisfied customers and are a foundation for the
continuation of our business.
2. Scale up existing strategies and products. In
addition to closed-end funds we have significantly
increased the share of open-ended funds and
mandate based solutions in our product portfolio.
We have also introduced new strategies investing
in the unlisted market alongside more traditional
Buyout and real estate investing.
3. Integrate ESG as a core theme in all business
activities. In order to create long-term value,
we take sustainability and the requirements of
various stakeholders into account in our business.
4. Develop CapMan as the home of top perform-
ers and attract the best talent in the industry.
Professionals with vision are the foundation of
our business and we invest in employee well-being
and the development of expertise.
5. Drive shareholder value through a combination
of growth and improved earnings quality. By
growing our business profitably, we look after the
needs of our shareholders.
6. Explore new products and M&A in order to
accelerate strategic agenda. We are well-
positioned to accelerate our growth also through
strategic transactions.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS AND OBJECTIVES
Through these focus areas we create active value for our fund investors and our share-
holders. A growing unlisted market that continues to interest an international investor
base supports the execution of our strategy.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND MILESTONES 2017–2022
CapMan’s business has undergone a fundamental transition
CapMan’s previous strategy was
launched in 2018 with an objective to
return CapMan to profitable growth.
Over the past five years, CapMan has
almost doubled assets under manage-
ment and more than doubled our turn-
over and comparable operating profit.
The share of international investors has
also increased. In addition to closed-
end funds, we also manage more
open-ended funds and mandates.
As a result of the growth strategy and
new products, the earnings mix has
become more attractive. The consistent
growth in fee-based profits has resulted
in more predictable operating profits.
Investment income was also very strong
in 2022.
The past five years have included a pan-
demic, a war on European soil and an
unstable economic outlook. In light of
these developments, the achievements
during this past strategy period can be
considered very successful.

and risk mitigation, CapMan can create sustainable value for its

CapMan’s Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility
for the strategic development of CapMan’s sustainability
performance. The CEO and the rest of the Management Group
keep the Board informed of CapMan’s operations, including
ESG issues and developments which can be of significance to
CapMan’s shareholders. Given CapMan’s integrated approach to
sustainability, the internal responsibility for sustainability topics
is embedded with business decisions overall. The responsi-
bility for integrating sustainability with decision-making lies
with the Management Group and the knowhow of CapMan’s
Management Group is evolving.
CapMan’s ESG Director drives the overall integration and
implementation of ESG matters at CapMan. Further, the ESG
team has dedicated professionals that are responsible for ESG
implementation at Real Estate, Private Equity and Infrastructure

Climate-specific initiatives
CapMan has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative,
using the Private Equity Sector Science-Based Targets Guidance,
which includes investments in private equity, infrastructure and
real estate. CapMan is in the process of establishing a net-
zero roadmap including a target year for when CapMan will be
net- zero. To this end, CapMan is setting short-term emission
reduction targets by 2027 and 2032 on a 2021 baseline. These
developments are in line with CapMan’s value of being an active
owner that drives the green transition throughout the portfolio.
CapMan has committed to the initiative Climate International,
which is supported by the PRI. As part of the initiative, CapMan
will contribute to the objective of the Paris Agreement to limit
global warming to well-below two degrees Celsius by integrating
climate change analysis into investment processes.
As part of the initiative, CapMan actively engages with portfolio
companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, contrib-
uting to an overall improvement in sustainability performance.
This is done by identifying companies and assets where climate
change poses a material risk and measuring their carbon
footprint. CapMan further engages with management teams of
portfolio companies to develop emissions reduction and climate
change action plans.
Social initiatives
CapMan is a member of Level 20, a network that promotes di-
versity and inclusion within the private equity industry. CapMan
promotes the objectives of Level 20 through its recruitment and
promotion practices as well as through participation in events.
Materiality analysis
In order to focus on the topics where CapMan can have the
biggest impact, CapMan builds its sustainability agenda around
a materiality framework. CapMan assesses its business areas,
engages with stakeholders and monitors global topics and policy
developments to identify key sustainability topics for further
follow-up and disclosure.
Material sustainability topics are those factors that have a direct
or indirect impact on CapMan’s ability to create, preserve or erode
economic, environmental and social value for the company, its
stakeholders and society at large. CapMan’s materiality analysis
was conducted in 2022 based on stakeholder interviews, including
interviews with investors and board members, internal surveys,
review of industry standards and best-practices, and the assess-
ment of CapMan’s role in the value chain and overall society.
Seven topics were identified as material for CapMan Group.
Diversity and equity are seen as the most material topics, followed
by governance in investment practices, board diversity and
business ethics and integrity. the impact of travel habits on climate
change is a material environmental topic.
The resulting materiality map forms CapMan’s current priorities
and ambitions for sustainability. CapMan sets annual and long-
term targets that follow these materiality topics. The materiality
assessment is revisited on an annual basis.
CapMan also extends the materiality analysis to its investments
and takes into account the specific characteristics of each
investment area.
Material topics for CapMan Group

•
Climate change – The effect of travel habits and
energy use and efficiency on emissions

CapMan formalised its Restriction list to identify companies
and activities, in which investment is restricted due to the
adverse characteristics of such activities.
CapMan developed a comprehensive ESG due diligence and
value creation tool to be used for assessing ESG risks and value
creation opportunities from a materiality perspective through-
out the investment process. The tool is used by the Buyout,
Growth, Special Situations and Infra teams.
CapMan established a Policy library for portfolio companies
that cover all relevant social and governance topics to use as
guidance for establishing relevant and sufficient policies in their
own operations.
Training & upskilling
CapMan has held 39 internal training sessions on ESG topics,
such as Science Based Targets and ESG value creation oppor-
tunities, throughout the year to increase in-house expertise and
awareness. CapMan also held training sessions for portfolio
companies. Persons involved in ESG policy, investment decisions
and reporting have also participated in industry specific external
ESG training in order to address specific ESG topics. CapMan
works together with consultants and service providers to improve
its understanding of the application of ESG topics and material-
ity. Further, CapMan has served as an expert speaker at industry
events and participated in seminars and conferences on sustain-
able investment as well as updates from regulators, which has
provided valuable insights, as well as networking and information
sharing opportunities with industry peers.

Sustainability disclosures
for CapMan as an alternative
investment fund manager
CapMan Plc subsidiary CapMan AIFM Oy (“CapMan
AIFM”), CapMan alternative investment fund manager,
discloses information in accordance with the Sustainable
Finance Disclosure Regulation (2019/2088) (the “SFDR”).
CapMan assess the taxonomy eligibility of its Real Estate
funds according to the Taxonomy Regulation (2020/852).
Taxonomy alignment of
Real Estate funds
Transparency of sustainability risk policies
CapMan AIFM integrates sustainability risks in its decision-making
process, as referred to under Article 3 of the SFDR. Sustainability
risk means an environmental, social or governance event or condi-
tion that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material
negative impact on the value of the investment. Environmental
risks can relate to, among others, to climate-related risks (physical
and transitional), biodiversity or pollution. Social risks can relate
to for instance safety and well-being, human rights in the supply
chain, and employee or tenant satisfaction or others. Governance
risks can relate to for example inadequate management of ESG,
management incentives, corruption, bribery, cybersecurity, or data
privacy. The potential sustainability risks to which any investment is
exposed may cause a negative impact on the value of investments.
Before any investment decisions are made, and as part of its over-
all investment analysis, CapMan will identify the material sustain-
ability risks associated with the proposed investment. Investment
decisions will then be made by referencing the relevant investment
policies and objectives, including an action plan for mitigating any
sustainability risks at asset level.
Description of and policies to identify and prioritise sustainability
risks are included in CapMan’s ESG Investment Policy. CapMan
further restricts investments in certain sectors and activities as
detailed in its Restriction list. Both documents are available online
at www.capman.com/sustainability
Transparency of adverse sustainability impacts
CapMan AIFM considers principal adverse impacts on sustainability
impacts of its investment decisions as described by Article 4 of the
SFDR.
Sustainability factors may impact the revenue and cost structure of
target investments directly, or have external impacts, such as impact-
ing the quality of life for community stakeholders or perceived value
for customers. Accordingly, they also impact return on investment.
CapMan strives to integrate sustainability factors with its general core
business, creating a strong culture that drives sustainable practices
both at CapMan and in its portfolio companies and real estate.
These principal adverse impacts are identified and prioritised through
CapMan’s due diligence processes, which are detailed in CapMan’s
ESG Investment Policy.
CapMan AIFM reviews the principal adverse impacts annually and
discloses the information in its Principal Adverse Impacts Statement.

Our value-driven people strategy
CapManians are characterised by their
ambitious and entrepreneurial attitudes
and inspired, forward-looking way of
working. By aligning work with our values
and providing meaningful jobs, we strive
to attract and retain the best talent in the
industry.
Updated People Strategy
In 2022, CapMan’s People Strategy was updated to align with
the new business strategy. The People Strategy is one of the six
strategic focus areas of the company.
The basis for the strategy work was to identify the unique char-
acteristics of our culture and highlight new priorities to serve
business goals and the requirements of our operating environ-
ment. Team leaders and employees around the organisation
participated in the work. Multiple discussions and workshops
resulted in a common understanding and commitment.
Our goal is to develop CapMan as the home of top performers
and attract the best talent in the industry. We foster a culture
where high professionalism and ambition unite with low hierar-
chy and fruitful collaboration with colleagues.
At the core of the People Strategy is our Employee Value
Proposition, defined by the four dimensions of the Strategy.
CapMan endeavours to offer its employees interesting career
prospects and an opportunity to influence society by working in
a successful organisation where people are cared for, and where
success is rewarded.

landscape
We believe that an employee experience based in inspirational

we have a unique opportunity as an employer to provide truly

Diversity at CapMan
CapMan aims to recruit people who combine talent, education
and skills with great attitude and drive. We also believe that
Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) bring value to our organisa-
tion in the form of diverse views and ideas, which are inextrica-
bly linked to our success.
CapMan is committed to promoting an equal distribution of
genders across all positions and career steps in the company.
This is supported by a recruitment process and a framework
for promotions and internal recruitments that prioritises the
experience and knowledge needed in the position as selection
criteria over gender, age or other non-job-related traits.
When recruiting, we aim to consider different backgrounds and
strengths while challenging our unconscious biases and ideas
of ideal candidates to utilise the whole competence potential.
We expect understanding of DEI also from our recruitment
partners and other service providers. In 2022, discussions
regarding personnel diversity and creating a strategy for its

development took place throughout the organisation and
also on Management Group level. Our goal is to continuously
increase diversity, especially on a decision-making level.
We have zero tolerance for harassment and bullying both at
the office and at personnel and customer events. All employees
must be familiar with this policy and recognize every person’s
right to be treated with dignity and respect. All employees are
aware of how to report suspected discrimination, bullying or
harassment according to CapMan’s Fairness Procedure and
Whistleblower Policy. CapMan will always investigate any com-
plaint of discrimination, bullying or harassment sensitively and
without prejudice. All complaints are taken seriously and must
always be made in good faith.
Continuous learning and development
Leadership training
We believe that all success is based on good leadership, and we
seek to ensure that CapMan leaders have all the needed capa-
bilities and competencies for responsible leadership. In 2022,
CapMan arranged leadership trainings as live events and online
sessions. Online events offer flexibility and reduce the need
for travel. On the other hand, we appreciate the added value
of face-to-face encounters. The trainings consisted mostly of
group sessions focusing on leadership principles and sharing
of best practices. In autumn, a two-day training event brought
CapMan team leaders together to discuss the new People Strat-
egy and its implementation.
Manager briefs
During the pandemic, we established a habit of holding regular
Team Leader events, so-called Manager Briefs, by People
Operations to meet colleagues, share information and catch up
on current leadership topics. In 2022, altogether eight events
were held.
Negotiation and presentation skills
During 2022, the negotiation and presentation skills training
programme launched a year earlier was continued. The training
is designed to develop and strengthen negotiation and selling
skills and provide tools for strong presentation and commu-
nication especially for investment professionals. Training
programmes were organised in Helsinki and Stockholm. The
trainings focused on working in small groups with a coach-
ing approach to develop interaction and the culture of giving
feedback.
Introduction days
CapMan has organised two-day introductory events for new
employees for a number of years. In 2022, the Introduction
Days resumed as live events in Helsinki after several years of
online-only events due to restrictions caused by the pandemic.
At the Introduction Days, the joiners obtain a comprehensive
overview of CapMan’s business areas, culture and organisation.
The event also includes team activities and a dinner. The event
is held semi-annually, and in 2022 approximately 60 employees
across all CapMan offices participated in the events. The events
were highly appreciated especially due to the chance to meet
colleagues around the organisation.
Fostering togetherness
Multiple internal personnel events were organized at the CapMan
offices in 2022 to create possibilities for networking in an infor-
mal atmosphere. After the pandemic, regular breakfast events
were a popular option to meet with colleagues. In November, the
whole company gathered in Stockholm to spend a day together
at the annual CapMan Day. Before the Holidays, the children
of our employees were invited to the Helsinki office to enjoy a
Christmas-themed breakfast complete with little presents.
Further policies and procedures related to diversity and
learning and development are described in CapMan’s People
Policy, which is available on the website.

Employee Survey
Siqni Culture Survey: work satisfaction at
CapMan is on a good level
The Siqni Culture Survey was carried out in September 2022
in all offices. The survey reviewed the most meaningful factors
at work and their realization for CapMan employees. Addition-
ally, the survey included general job satisfaction and eNPS
(Employee Net Promoter Score) assessments. The response
rate was 87%, which indicates high commitment among
employees towards the survey.
Based on the results of the survey, work well-being at CapMan
is on a good level. The overall outcome of general job satisfac-
tion was 84/100, whereas in 2020 it was 80/100. The employ-
ees were very willing to recommend CapMan as an employer:
the total eNPS score of the organisation was 58 (2020: 41).
The eNPS target score was 40, which is generally considered
to be an excellent outcome. In the future, the company’s eNPS
target is to maintain a level of eNPS over 50.
Hybrid work
During 2022, the company applied a Hybrid Work Model.
At CapMan, the office is considered our main hub, but each
team defines the optimal amount of office work and remote
work, and practices are discussed together. During weekdays
from Monday to Thursday, approximately 60% of Cap Manians
worked at the office, whereas approximately 40% of the
employees worked from the office on Fridays.
CapMan was awarded a Future
Workplaces Certification 2022.
The Certification is granted
by Siqni to companies who
are leading their culture with
exceptional employee insight.
The Certificate requires excellent
overall performance in the
employee satisfaction survey.

RISK ASSESSMENT
RISKS
Risk management process and key risk categories
CapMan faces many different risks and
uncertainties, which could if realised
affect its strategic direction, financial
position, earnings, operations and
reputation. Assessment and management
of risks is an integral part of CapMan’s
ability to conduct its operations in a
successful manner. CapMan classifies
risks according to various categories
and identifies principal risks for each
category. CapMan performs an annual
review of the risk environment and
reports on any material developments
quarterly.
Risk management strategy and process
Risk management constitutes a significant part of CapMan’s
corporate governance. Risk needs to be managed rather than
avoided and consideration of risk should not stifle innovation.
Rather, consideration of risk should enable CapMan to make
better decisions.
As the risk definition includes both positive and negative effects
of uncertainty on company objectives, harnessing oppor-
tunities, as compared to only managing threats, should be
considered as part of risk management.
The Board of Directors decides on the risk appetite and risk
tolerance with the target to ensure continuity of operations and
to optimise CapMan’s ability to meet its objectives
The Chief Operating Officer, supported by the independent
Risk & Valuation team, has day-to-day responsibility for the
implementation and continuous development of the risk
management process.
Risk management objectives
Risk management at CapMan aims to
• Set the risk appetite and tolerance in accordance with
CapMan’s strategy;
• identify and assess key risk factors in CapMan’s operations
and business environment; and
• manage these risk factors to allow CapMan to achieve its
strategic and financial objectives.
Further risk management objectives
• Ensure the safety and wellbeing of employees;
• ensure the continuity of business operations;
• increase risk awareness throughout the organisation;
• protect the reputation of CapMan, its personnel and
investors;
• effectively allocate resources for risk treatment; and
• identify opportunities.

1. Strategic risk
Strategic risks occur when, for internal or external reasons, the
company is unable to achieve its strategic targets, or the chosen
strategy proves incorrect or ineffective.
Strategic risk management at CapMan is a part of the over-
all Group strategy development. For example, strategic risks
are considered when evaluating which businesses, investment
strategies or funds are pursued, what kinds of investors or
clients are targeted with different products and services, how
concentrated the customer base is, or how to ensure business
continuity. Moreover, as CapMan’s success is based on skilled
and motivated personnel, who may be difficult to replace or
Key risk categories
CapMan categorises its risks and identifies the following principal risks for each category:
Risk category Principal risks
1. Strategic risk
•
Failure to achieve strategic or performance targets
•
Failure to select the correct strategy in a competitive environment
•
Failure to recruit key personnel
•
Failure to scale the business
2. Financial risk
•
Poor financial performance
•
Insufficient liquidity position
•
Failure to obtain fincancing
3. Market risks
•
Interest rate, inflation and asset price volatility
•
Changes in customer preferences
4. Operational risks
•
Cyber threats and system errors
•
Inadequate or failed processes or controls
•
Corruption, fraud or criminal behaviour
•

5. Regulatory risks
•
Adverse changes in the regulatory environment
6. Sustainability risk
•

•
Inefficient procedures to address safety and well-being
•
Human rights risks in the supply chain
7. Reputational risk
•

The drivers of principal risks under each risk category are further described below.
recruit, a people strategy together with continuous succession
planning are a key part of strategic risk management.
CapMan aims to have a diversified portfolio of businesses with
entrepreneurial teams and a diversified customer base. Strategic
risks and targets are continuously monitored by senior manage-
ment and Board of Directors.
2. Financial risk
Financial risk refers to risks impacting the financial position
and/or performance of the company.
CapMan’s turnover is to a large extent based on long-term
agreements and therefore risk levels are relatively low in the
short term. Similarly, the majority of the cost base is fixed
in the short term. Therefore, the biggest drivers for financial
risk for CapMan are returns of fund investments as well as
the timing and magnitude of carried interest, both of which
have significant exposure to market risk as well as the perfor-
mance of individual funds and portfolio assets. Monitoring
and managing these underlying risks is a key activity of all
investment teams. The risks are also monitored by the Risk &
Valuations team on a continuous basis.
Another key financial risk for CapMan is Group liquidity and
financing, as CapMan typically has sizeable off-balance sheet
liabilities relating to the commitments made to funds.
Financial risks are actively managed by continuous follow-up of
the liquidity position and cash flow forecasts and by maintain-
ing sufficient liquidity buffers relative to open commitments.
CapMan has long term financial objectives, including targets for
growth, return on equity and equity ratio, which are continuous-
ly monitored and regularly reported to senior management and
Board of Directors. CapMan also has a revolving credit facility
to ensure its ability to cover unexpected cash requirements. The
company targets a long maturity profile for debts by actively
managing its credit portfolio in order to secure long-term debt
financing at attractive terms also in the future.
3. Market risk
Market risk refers to the risk of losses arising from movements in
market prices, or the risk that the market or customer behaviour
changes in a way that makes CapMan’s business model or
product/service offering sub-optimal.
CapMan is exposed to significant market risk both due to its
significant investments in funds, as well as due to its reliance on
the international fundraising market in raising capital for its funds
under management. Market risk may also impact the timing and
magnitude of carried interest by causing delay or value impair-

ment of exits from the funds. Market risk is part of operating in
the finance industry and can be only partially mitigated.
CapMan aims to have a diversified portfolio of businesses and
investment strategies, covering multiple asset classes and
geographies. CapMan has also strategically improved its earnings
mix by launching different types of funds and also services less
dependent on the financial markets. Investments to funds and the
diversification as well as income from different business areas are
monitored as part of executing CapMan’s strategy and each time
new investments are decided.
4. Operational risk
Operational risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from inade-
quate or failed internal processes or systems, human error or
from external events.
For CapMan, the most important operational risks relate to cyber and
IT systems, compliance with often complex regulations and agree-
ments, fraud, corruption or other criminal behaviour, and mistakes
or human error.
CapMan has continuous process to monitor and manage opera-
tional incidents and risks. Issues are actively managed and there
are controls in place to mitigate risk for the most critical functions.
CapMan implements Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies and
procedures designed to prevent and detect money laundering,
bribery and corruption and related activities. The activities involve
KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures on fund investors and
portfolio companies. These topics are covered by regular trainings
for employees. CapMan works together with reputable insurance
brokers to ensure reasonable insurance coverage for potential
liability that might result from any material conventional operative
incidents.
5. Regulatory risk
Regulatory risk refers to the risk of adverse changes in the
regulatory environment.
Fund and wealth management are regulated industries and Cap-
Man has subsidiaries that are regulated under AIFMD or MiFID re-
gimes. There are also several other laws and regulations that may
impact CapMan’s operations or strategy. CapMan has a dedicated
Compliance function, supported by Risk & Valuation, Legal and
ESG teams, to monitor regulatory changes in co-operation with
external advisors. In fund and investment structuring CapMan also
uses advisors to ensure up-to-date understanding of the latest reg
-
ulations, including concerning taxation. CapMan does not practise
aggressive tax planning.
The most significant ongoing regulatory developments that
impact the finance industry in Europe are related to sustainability.
CapMan continues to monitor and adapt to sustainability-related
and other regulation that impacts the industry.
6. Sustainability risk
Sustainability risk refers to environmental, social or governance
events or conditions that, if they occur, could cause a material
negative financial impact, or negatively impact the environment
or the people involved in CapMan’s operations or portfolio, and/
or other stakeholders.
CapMan has limited direct sustainability risk, due to limited
scope of operation and lack of any manufacturing operations.
However, CapMan AIFM integrates sustainability risks in its
decision-making process, as referred to under Article 3 of the
SFDR. Environmental risks can relate to, among others, to
climate-related risks (physical and transitional), biodiversity
or pollution. Social risks can relate to for instance safety and
well-being, human rights in the supply chain, and employee or
tenant satisfaction or others. Governance risks can relate to for
example inadequate management of ESG, management incen-
tives, corruption, bribery, cybersecurity, or data privacy. The
potential sustainability risks to which any investment is exposed
may cause a negative impact on the value of investments. Cap-
Man AIFM considers principal adverse impacts on sustainability
impacts of its investment decisions as described by Article 4
of the SFDR. On a Group level, sustainability risk may also con-
tribute significantly to reputational risk, in the event that there
would be a significant incident – even when the direct financial
impact on CapMan is limited due to low exposure through own
investments.
CapMan is committed to multiple sustainability reporting
initiatives to make its sustainability actions more transparent.
CapMan has implemented a restriction list to restrict or exclude
certain activities or industries from the investment scope.
7. Reputational risk
Reputational risk is the risk of negative publicity, poor public
perception or uncontrollable events to have an adverse impact
on CapMan’s reputation, thereby affecting its ability to meet
strategic or financial objectives or reducing shareholder value.
Reputational risk is a core risk for CapMan, since the business
mainly relies on mutual trust between business parties. Realisa-
tion of reputational risk could impact fundraising and deal flow
as well as the ability to attract and retain key employees, all of
which could have substantial impact on CapMan’s performance.
CapMan aims to build an ethical culture and has identified high
ethics as one of its values. CapMan has a Code of Conduct and
other policies in place to guide its employees beyond being
compliant with laws and regulations. CapMan also has controls,
such as a Whistleblowing Channel, in place and aims to maintain a
continuous dialogue with relevant stakeholders.

1 CapMan’s governance model
CapMan is a Finnish public limited liability
company headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.
The parent company CapMan Plc and its
subsidiaries form CapMan group. CapMan’s
shares are publicly listed in Nasdaq Helsinki.
CapMan’s governance model consists of the
General Meeting of shareholders, the Board
of Directors and the CEO. In the operative
management of the company the CEO is
assisted by the management group.
2 General Meeting of
the shareholders and the
Articles of Association
The highest decision-making power at CapMan
is held by the General Meeting of sharehold-
ers. Among other things, the General Meeting
adopts the financial statements, decides on
distribution of assets based on the proposal of
the Board, elects the members of the Board
and the auditor, decides on the discharge from
liability and on amendments to the Articles of
Association. The notice to the General Meeting,
the documents to be presented and the pro-
posals for the General Meeting are published
on the company’s website and, if needed, as a
stock exchange release three weeks prior to the
General Meeting at the latest.
In 2022, CapMan’s Annual General Meeting
(AGM) was held on 16 March in Helsinki.
In order to curb the spread of the Covid-19
pandemic, the General Meeting was organized
without shareholders’ and their proxy repre-
sentatives’ presence at the General Meeting
venue. Shareholders were able to participate
in the meeting and use their shareholder
rights only by voting in advance, by submitting
counterproposals in advance and by asking
questions in advance. In total 72 shareholders
representing approximately 31% of the reg-
istered share capital and voting rights voted
in advance. The decisions are available on the
company’s website at https://www.capman.
com/shareholders/general-meetings/.

material related to the General Meeting are

address: https://www.capman.com/sharehold-
ers/governance/.
3 Shareholders’ Nomination
Board
CapMan Plc’s 2018 AGM decided to establish
a Shareholders’ Nomination Board to prepare
future proposals concerning the election and
remuneration of the members of the Board to
the General Meeting. The AGM also adopted a
Charter for the Nomination Board. The Share-
holders’ Nomination Board shall serve until
further notice. The term of office of the mem-
bers of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board
expires annually after the new Shareholders’
Nomination Board has been nominated.
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board con-
sists of representatives nominated by the four
largest shareholders of the company and the
Chairman of CapMan Plc’s Board, serving as
an expert member. As an expert member the
Chairman of the Board of CapMan Plc does

Shareholders’ Nomination Board.
The following members were nominated
to the Shareholders’ Nomination Board in
September 2022: Stefan Björkman (Managing

Pension Insurance Company), Ari Tolppanen
(Chairman of the Board of Oy Inventiainvest
Ab) and Mikko Kalervo Laakkonen. Addition-
ally, Andreas Tallberg, the Chairman of the
Board of CapMan Plc, served as the expert
member on the Shareholders’ Nomination
Board.
The Nomination Board convened three
times in 2022. The Nomination Board
conducted an evaluation of the Board work,
discussed, in particular the size, composition
and diversity of the Board and the areas of
expertise that are deemed most beneficial
for the company. The Nomination Board also
reviewed the remuneration of the Board and
gave its proposals to the Annual General
Meeting on 26 January 2022. The proposals
were published as a stock exchange release.

tion Board is available on CapMan’s website

the financial sector. The aim is that the Board
consists of representatives of both genders
and different age groups, that the Board
members have versatile educational and pro-
fessional backgrounds and that the Board of
Directors as a whole has sufficient experience
on an international operating environment.
The company considers that the com-
position of its Board is in its current form
sufficiently aligned with the objectives set for
the diversity of the Board composition. In
2022 both genders were represented in the
Board (33% female, 67% male), the members
were between 53 and 66 years of age, their
educational backgrounds were relevant to the
company’s operations, and they had experi-
ence on both international and local operating
environments.
4.3 Independence of the Board
members
The majority of the Board must be inde-
pendent from the company. At least two of
the members that are independent from the
company shall also be independent of the
company’s significant shareholders.
The Board made an assessment on the
independence of the Board members in its
organisational meeting on 16 March 2022.
According to the assessment Johan Bygge,
Catarina Fagerholm, Mammu Kaario, Olli
Liitola and Andreas Tallberg were independent
of both the company and its significant share-
holders. Johan Hammarén was non-inde-
pendent of company’s significant shareholder
Silvertärnan Ab through board membership,
and non-independent of the company due to his
employment with a group company until 2019.

In addition, Joakim Frimodig’s controlling interest company Boldhold Oy is a minority owner in Silvertärnan Ab, which owns 13.5% of all shares in CapMan Plc.
CapMan’s internal control and risk
management concerning financial reporting
is designed to provide, inter alia, reasonable
assurance concerning the reliability, compre-
hensiveness and timeliness of the financial
reporting and the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations, generally accepted
accounting principles and other requirements
for listed companies. The objective is also
to promote good corporate governance and
risk management practices and to ensure
the compliance with laws, regulation and
CapMan’s internal policies.
9.1 General description of the
financial reporting process
CapMan’s operating model is based on having
a local presence in Finland, Sweden, Den-
mark, Norway, Estonia, Luxembourg and the
UK, and operating the organisation across
national borders. CapMan’s subsidiaries
and branches in eight countries report their
results on a monthly or quarterly basis to the
parent company. The bookkeeping function is
mainly outsourced.
Financial information is assembled, cap-
tured, analysed, and distributed in accordance
with existing processes and procedures. The
group has a common reporting and consol-
idation system that facilitates compliance
with a set of common control requirements.
The monthly accounting entries of the most
significant subsidiaries and branches are
transferred to the group’s reporting system on
an entry-by-entry level. The other subsidiaries
submit their figures either monthly or quar-
terly to the group accounting to be entered to
the group reporting system for consolidation.
8 Internal control and risk
management
The aim of CapMan’s internal control and risk
management is to ensure that the company’s
operations are efficient, appropriate, reliable
and in compliance with regulation, and that
risks associated with the company’s business
and objectives are identified and appropriately
monitored and managed. The group’s internal
control system is an essential part of the
group’s management system and consists
of organization structure, policies, process-
es, working instructions, allocation of tasks
and responsibilities, approval authorizations,
manual and automated controls, monitoring
reports and reviews. The Board and the CEO
are responsible for the internal control and
the risk management but the internal control
is conducted on all levels of the organization,
in all business and support functions. Each
employee is individually responsible for the
compliance of policies and instructions and for
reporting the faults and malpractice to his/her
supervisor or other designated persons.
9 Internal control and risk
management pertaining to
the financial reporting
The internal control and risk management
pertaining to the financial reporting process
is part of CapMan’s overall internal control
framework. The key roles and responsibilities
for internal control and risk management have
been defined in the group’s internal guide-
lines which are approved and updated by the
management and/or the Board of Directors
of the company.

GROUP
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Statement
Board of Directors
Management Team
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The reported figures are reviewed in subsid-
iaries as well as in group accounting. Group
accounting also monitors the balance sheet
and income statement items by analytically
reviewing the figures. The consolidated
accounts of CapMan are prepared in compli-
ance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
9.2 Control and risk management
of the financial reporting process
The Board has the overall responsibility for
the proper arrangement of internal control
and risk management over financial reporting.
The Board has appointed the Audit Commit-
tee to undertake the more specific tasks in
relation to financial reporting process control
such as monitoring the financial statements
reporting process, the supervision of the fi-
nancial reporting process and monitoring the
efficiency of the company’s internal control.
The Audit Committee also reviews regularly
the main features of the internal control and
risk management systems pertaining to the
financial reporting process.
The management of the group is respon-
sible for the implementation of internal
control and risk management processes and
for ascertaining their operational effective-
ness. The management is also responsible
for ensuring that the company’s accounting
practices comply with laws and regulations
and that the company’s financial matters are
managed in a reliable and consistent manner.
The CEO leads the risk management
process by defining and allocating respon-
sibility areas. The CEO has nominated the
group’s COO as risk manager to be in charge
of coordinating the overall risk management
process. The risk manager reports to the Audit
Committee on matters concerning internal
control and risk management. The manage-
ment has allocated responsibility for establish-
ing more specific internal control policies and
procedures to personnel in charge of different
functions. The group’s management and
accounting departments possess appropriate
levels of authority and responsibility to facil-
itate effective internal control over financial
reporting.
9.3 9.3 Risk assessment and
control activities
Risks related to the financial reporting process
are identified through the objectives of finan-
cial reporting. The risk assessment process is
designed to identify financial reporting risks
and to determine how these risks should be
managed. Control activities based on risk as-
sessments are determined for all levels of the
organisation. These activities include guide-
lines and instructions, approvals, authorisa-
tions, verifications, reconciliations, analytical
reviews, and segregation of duties.
In the annual strategy process of the group,
the identified risks are reviewed, the risk
management control activities are mapped
and effects of potential new identified risks
on the strategy are evaluated. The objectives
and responsibilities of the risk management
process as well as the determination of the
risk-appetite were updated during 2022.
9.4 Information and
communication pertaining to the
financial reporting
CapMan has defined the roles and responsi-
bilities pertaining to financial reporting as a
part of the group’s information and com-
munication practices. External and internal
information regarding financial reporting and
its internal control is gathered systematically,
and relevant information on the group’s trans-
actions is provided to the management. Up-
to-date information relevant for the financial
reporting is presented in a timely manner to
the relevant functions such as the Board and
the Management Group. All external commu-
nications are carried out in accordance with
the group disclosure policy, which is available
on the company’s website: https://www.cap-
man.com/shareholders/statements-policies/
disclosure/
9.5 The organisation and
monitoring of internal control
activities
To ensure the effectiveness of internal control
pertaining to financial reporting, monitor-
ing activities are conducted at all levels of
the organisation. Monitoring is performed
through ongoing follow-up activities, separate
evaluations or a combination of the two. Sep-
arate internal audit assignments are initiated
by the Board or management. The scope and
frequency of separate evaluations depend pri-
marily on the assessment of risks and the ef-
fectiveness of ongoing monitoring procedures.
Internal control deficiencies are reported to
the management, and serious matters to the
Audit Committee and the Board.
Group accounting performs monthly
consistency checks of income statement and
balance sheet for subsidiaries and business
areas. The group accounting team also
conducts management fee and cost analysis,
quarterly fair value change checks, impair-
ment and cash flow checks as well as control
of IFRS and other applicable regulatory
changes. The Audit Committee and the Board
regularly review group-level financial reports,
including comparison of actual figures with
prior periods and budgets, other forecasts,
monthly cash flow estimates and covenant
levels. In addition, the Audit Committee
monitors in more detail, among others, the re-
porting process (including the management’s
discretionary evaluations), risk management,
internal control and audit.
The Risk and Valuations team, which is
independent from the investment teams,
is responsible for the quarterly valuation
process, monitoring and forecasting fair value
movements and preparing the models for and
calculating carried interest income for the
funds under the management of the Group.
CapMan’s subsidiaries holding a license to
act as alternative investment fund manager
or investment firm granted by the Finnish
Financial Supervisory Authority, have separate
risk management and internal audit functions
as required by applicable laws.
The compliance function oversees that the
operations of the CapMan group comply with
regulation and that the group companies will
adopt the relevant new regulations promptly.

maintain project-specific insider lists, arrange
internal trainings for employees on insider
rules and on disclosure responsibilities of
listed companies.
CapMan maintains an internal, non-public
list on managers and persons closely associ-
ated with them, which are, according to MAR,
obliged to disclose all transactions made
with financial instruments issued by CapMan.
CapMan has determined the members of the
Board and the Management Group (including
the CEO) as managers defined in the MAR
(hereinafter “Manager(s)”). Each Manager has
been instructed to inform the persons closely
associated with them about the obligation to
disclose transactions. CapMan publishes a
release on each transaction which has been
executed by a Manager or his/her closely as-
sociated person with the financial instruments
issued by CapMan in case the total value
of all transactions of this person exceeds
EUR 5,000 within a calendar year. The total
holding of CapMan’s shares and share-based
rights of each Manager is annually published
as a part of the Annual Report.
CapMan maintains project-specific insider
lists for the projects, as set out in MAR, which
may have a significant effect on the prices of
the financial instruments issued by CapMan.
These project-specific insider lists are drafted
and maintained in accordance with the MAR
and CapMan’s internal policies and are
established following a decision to delay the
disclosure of inside information. The persons
added to the project-specific list and other
persons who possess inside information
related to CapMan, are advised not to trade in
financial instruments issued by CapMan. Prior
to trading in CapMan’s financial instruments,
each manager and employee is obliged to
personally assess whether he/she is in the
possession of inside information related to
CapMan.
CapMan’s Managers (as defined above) or
employees who receive financial information
related to CapMan Plc are not permitted to
trade in financial instruments issued by Cap-
Man during a closed period of 30 calendar
days prior to the publication of CapMan’s
interim reports, half year financial report or
financial statements bulletin (closed period).
The publication dates are announced annually
over a stock exchange release. CapMan’s
Managers and employees have been in-
structed to inform their closely associated
persons regarding closed periods and trading
restrictions on CapMan’s financial instru-
ments during the closed period. According to
the internal trading pre-approval procedure,
the Managers of CapMan group are obliged
to request a written pre-approval from the
group’s compliance function before trading in
financial instruments issued by CapMan.
CapMan’s whistleblowing channel offers a
possibility to alert CapMan about suspicions
of misconduct in confidence and/or anony-
mously, including market abuse. The channel
is available on the company’s intranet.
During 2022, no whistleblowing reports were
received.
10.2 Principles regarding Related
Party Transactions
The company does not customarily enter into
transactions with its related parties which
would be significant for the company and
deviate from the ordinary course of business
or would be conducted in deviation from
customary market terms. Possible significant
and out of ordinary transaction deviating
from market terms would be discussed in the
Board meeting. The Board also confirms the
company’s principles regarding related party
transactions. The related party transactions
are monitored by the financial administra-
tion and the legal function as part of the
company’s customary reporting and control
processes and the relevant persons are
instructed of the related party matters. The
company maintains a list of its related parties
and related-party transactions are reported
in the financial statements, and significant
related-party transactions published as stock
exchange releases, in accordance with appli-
cable rules and regulations.
10.3 Audit fees
Ernst & Young Oy, authorised public account-
ants, acted as auditor of the company in
2022. Ms. Kristina Sandin, APA, acted as the
lead auditor. The audit fees paid to the auditor
amounted to 361,000 euros (293,000 euros
2021) and the fees related to other non-audit
related services amounted to 12,000 euros
(10,000 in 2021).
10.4 Internal audit
Taking into account the nature and extent
of the company’s business CapMan has not
considered it necessary to organise internal
audit as a separate function. The internal audit
of the licensed operation has been outsourced
to an external service provider.

Group turnover and result in 1–12 2022
CapMan Group’s turnover totalled MEUR 67.5 in the peri-
od spanning 1 January–31 December 2022 (1 January–31
December 2021: MEUR 52.8). The 28 per cent increase in turn-
over was mainly due to an increase in fee income and carried
interest compared to the previous year.
Operating expenses were MEUR 51.0 (MEUR 42.1) in total
and consisted of personnel expenses, depreciations and amor-
tisations, and other operating expenses.
Personnel expenses, including employer contributions, were
MEUR 34.6 (MEUR 30.6). The growth was mainly due to a high-
er headcount as well as MEUR 1.4 in expenses from the early
payment of the vested reward shares from the 2020 incentive
plan.
Depreciations and amortisations were MEUR 4.2 (MEUR
1.5) and included an impairment of goodwill in the amount of
MEUR 2.6 related to the disposal of the JAY Solutions business
after the financial year.
Other operating expenses amounted to MEUR 11.2 (MEUR
10.0).
Fair value changes of investments were MEUR +36.5 in 2022
(MEUR +33.9).
Following the strong development in turnover, controlled
cost development and positive fair value changes, the Group’s
operating profit was MEUR 53.1 (MEUR 44.6). Operating profit
excluding items affecting comparability was MEUR 55.7 (MEUR
44.6).
Financial income and expenses amounted to MEUR -5.5
(MEUR -4.0). Financial expenses increased mainly due to a
MEUR 1.2 write-down of loan receivables from an investment
team operating in Russia and formerly part of CapMan Group.
Profit before taxes was MEUR 47.6 (MEUR 40.6) and profit
after taxes was MEUR 41.0 (MEUR 35.4). Profit after taxes
excluding items affecting comparability was MEUR 43.6
(MEUR 35.4).
Diluted earnings per share were 24.8 cents (21.4 cents). Dilut-
ed earnings per share excluding items affecting comparability
were 26.4 cents (21.4 cents).
A quarterly breakdown of turnover and profit, together with
turnover, operating profit/loss, and profit/loss by segment
for the period as well as items affecting comparability are
described in the Notes to the Financial Statements in section 2
Segment information.
Management Company business
Turnover generated by the Management Company business for
the financial year 2022 totalled MEUR 55.9 (MEUR 43.6). The
28 per cent increase was mainly due to an increase in carried
interest and fee income from the previous year.
Fee income was MEUR 46.2 (MEUR 40.8) and grew by 13
per cent. New capital in funds and programmes, as well as
other asset management services, contributed favourably to fee
income for the year.
Carried interest income for the year totalled MEUR 9.6
(MEUR 2.9), mainly from the CapMan Growth Equity 2017 and
CapMan Nordic Real Estate funds, which transferred to carry
during 2022.
Of the turnover, 82 per cent was based on income booked
over time (91 per cent in 2021). The comparatively lower share
of turnover booked over time was due to a higher share of
carried interest in 2022 compared to the previous year.
Operating expenses of the Management Company business
amounted to MEUR 33.6 (MEUR 30.7). Operating profit of the
Management Company business was MEUR 22.3 (MEUR 13.2)
and grew by 69 per cent.
Service business
Turnover generated by Service business totalled MEUR 11.1
(MEUR 8.6 in 2021). All turnover was based on long-term
contracts and grew by 29 per cent due to growth of CaPS and
JAY Solutions.
CapMan and non-controlling shareholders of JAY Solutions
agreed on the sale of JAY Solutions to Bas Invest AB at the end
of 2022 and the transaction was completed on 1 February 2023.
CapMan owned 60 per cent of JAY Solutions before the trans-
action. The purchase consideration was MEUR 8, in addition
to which the sellers are entitled to an additional consideration
of MEUR 0.5, should JAY Solutions reach operating targets as
established together with the buyer. Following the closing of
the transaction after the end of the financial year, CapMan has
recorded a MEUR 2.6 impairment of goodwill during the finan-
cial year. The disposal of JAY Solutions is not expected to have
an impact on CapMan’s financial position or results for 2023.
Starting from 2023, CapMan’s Service business only includes
the procurement service CaPS.
Operating expenses of the Service business amounted to
MEUR 7.7 (MEUR 5.1), of which 2.6 was an item affecting com-
parability resulting from the disposal of JAY Solutions.
The operating profit of the Service business was MEUR 3.0
(MEUR 4.2). Excluding items affecting comparability, operating
profit was MEUR 5.6 (MEUR 4.2) and grew by 35 per cent.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Investment business
Fair value of fund investments was MEUR 169.1 on 31
December 2022 (31 December 2021: MEUR 130.0). Fair value
changes were entirely driven by fund investments in 2022 and
were MEUR +36.5 (MEUR +33.9), corresponding to a 25.3 per
cent increase in value (1 January–31 December 2021: +26.9
per cent). The positive development of CapMan’s own funds is
mainly due to completed exits and a very favourable develop-
ment of many portfolio companies. Valuations have also been
adjusted downward following changes in peer group valua-
tions, due to which the positive fair value changes have been
more modest during the second half of 2022. The valuation
of external funds has increased particularly due to financing
rounds and partial exits completed during 2022.
CapMan invested a total of MEUR 29.3 in its funds in 2022
(MEUR 20.9). CapMan received distributions from funds totalling
MEUR 27.6 (MEUR 23.5 and disposals MEUR 16.5). The amount
of remaining commitments that have yet to be called totalled
MEUR 89.1 as at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: MEUR
90.3). Capital calls, distributions and remaining commitments
are detailed in the Notes to the Financial Statements in Section
17 Investments at fair value through profit and loss.
Operating profit for the Investment business was MEUR 35.7
(MEUR 32.7).

Fund investments 169.1
Other long-term investments 0.4
Total 169.5
The majority of invested capital is in funds managed by
CapMan. In addition to own funds, CapMan invests selectively
in private market funds managed by external fund managers.
This strategy provides diversification benefits as external funds
are a complement to CapMan’s investments into own funds in
terms of strategy and/or geography. CapMan strives to have a
business connection between CapMan and external funds that
CapMan invests in.
Investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value
in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture
Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG). Sensitivity analysis by
investment area is presented in the Tables section of this report.
Balance sheet and financial position as
at 31 December 2022
CapMan’s balance sheet totalled MEUR 270.5 as at 31
December 2022 (31 December 2021: MEUR 240.3). Non-
current assets amounted to MEUR 188.4 (MEUR 159.8), of
which goodwill totalled MEUR 7.9 (MEUR 15.3). Goodwill was
written down following the disposal of JAY Solutions.

Assets under management as at
31 December 2022
Assets under management refers to the remaining investment
capacity, mainly equity, of funds and capital already invested
at acquisition cost or at fair value, when referring to mandates
and open-ended funds. Assets under management is calculated
based on the capital, which forms the basis for management
fees, and includes primarily equity without accounting for the
funds’ debt. The practice for calculating assets under man-
agement was updated at the end of 2022 to include all fee
generating assets managed by CapMan Wealth Services. The
comparison period figures have been adjusted accordingly.
Assets increase as fundraising for new funds progresses or
as investments are executed under investment mandates and
declines as exits are completed.
Assets under management was MEUR 5,039 as at 31
December 2022 (31 December 2021: MEUR 4,908). The
increase in assets under management was mainly due to the
establishment of and commitments to new funds. The increase
was modest due to completed exits, negative fair value changes
in open-ended real estate funds and the liquidation of old
funds during 2022. Assets under management per fund type is
displayed in Table 3.

CapMan’s interest bearing net debt increased due to the issue
of a MEUR 40.0 sustainability-linked bond maturing in 2027.
The proceeds of the bond were used for the voluntary redemp-
tion of the senior bond maturing in 2023 and general company
purposes.
CapMan’s bonds and long-term credit facility include financ-
ing covenants, which are conditional on the company’s equity
ratio and net gearing ratio. CapMan honoured all covenants as at
31 December 2022.
Trade and other payables totalled MEUR 18.5 on 31 Decem-
ber 2022 (31 December 2021: MEUR 16.7).
The Group’s cash flow from operations totalled MEUR +6.0 for
2022 (MEUR +11.0). Withholding taxes due to the early payment
of the vested reward shares from the 2020 incentive plan as well
as other changes in working capital contributed to the compa-
rably smaller inflows of cash from operations. CapMan receives
management fees from funds semi-annually, in January and July,
which is shown under working capital in the cash flow statement.
Cash flow from investments totalled MEUR +2.4 (MEUR
+19.2) and includes, inter alia, investments and repaid capital
received by the Group. CapMan makes investments mainly
through its investment company and its investments and cash on
hand are classified as fund investments.
Cash flow before financing totalled MEUR +8.5 (MEUR +30.2)
and reflects the development in the Management Company
business, Service business and Investment business. Cash flow
from financing was MEUR -18.0 (MEUR -23.0) and included the
drawdown and repayment of debt as well as the payment of
dividends and equity repayment.
Sustainability
Following the updated strategy responsibility is at the core of
all activities. CapMan’s vision is to become the most responsi-
ble private assets company in the Nordics. A strategic objective
is to integrate sustainability into all operations and implement
it in the product offering, fundraising, investment activities,
fund management, services and the development of personnel
and work environment, among others.
As part of its environmental commitment, CapMan made a
commitment to set Science Based Targets in line with a 1.5 °C
scenario in the beginning of 2022 and has now established a
roadmap and timeline for meeting the commitment. The plan
is now under validation by the Science Based Targets initiative.
As part of the process, CapMan establishes interim reduction
targets for 2027 and 2032 and will during 2023 define the year
when CapMan seeks to reach net zero emissions.
Monitoring employee satisfaction is a critical component of
assessing CapMan’s social responsibility. CapMan reached an
eNPS score of 58 in 2022, which reflects a high willingness
among employees to recommend CapMan as an employer. The
score increased from the latest achieved measurement of 41.
In addition, CapMan has included guidance regarding diver-
sity, equity and inclusion in its people and recruitment policies
and started a process for increasing awareness regarding these
topics among employees.
In order to promote good governance, CapMan has intro-
duced sustainability metrics as part of variable remuneration.
Part of long-term share-based incentives are determined
following the achievement of ESG targets.
CapMan continues to integrate sustainability targets and key
sustainability risks into its investment decisions. As part of the
process, CapMan has developed tools that promote sustainable
investment, value creation and risk management, expanded in-
vestment policies and established new guidelines and process-
es at both CapMan Group and portfolio companies and assets.
ESG targets established in the beginning of 2022 are mon-
itored at Group and investment team level and achievements
for 2022 are reported as part of CapMan’s sustainability report
published in Spring 2023.

Remuneration and incentives
CapMan’s remuneration scheme consists of short-term and
long-term incentive schemes.
The short-term scheme covers all CapMan employees,
excluding the CEO of the company, and its central objective is
earnings per share, for which the Board of Directors has set a
minimum target.
CapMan has two long-term schemes consisting of in-
vestment based long-term share-based incentive plans
(Performance Share Plan) for key employees.
In the investment based long-term share-based incentive
plans the participants are committed to shareholder value crea-
tion by investing a significant amount in CapMan Plc shares.
CapMan’s 2020 investment-based long-term incentive
plan includes one performance period that commenced on 1
April 2020 and ends on 31 March 2023. An early payment of
the vested reward shares from the 2020 incentive plan was
conducted in April 2022 to facilitate participants’ investment
into the new 2022 investment-based long-term incentive plan.
Irrespective of the early payment, the 2020 plan will remain in
force until the end of its performance period on 31 March 2023
in line with the original terms.
CapMan’s 2022 investment-based long-term incentive plan
includes three performance periods that commenced on 1 April
2022 and end on 31 March 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
The participants may earn a performance-based reward from
each of the performance periods and a matching reward from
the 2022–2025 period. The rewards from the plan will be paid
fully in company shares in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
The aim of the 2022 investment-based long-term incentive
plan is to align remuneration with CapMan’s sustainability
agenda, to retain the plan participants in the company’s
service, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on
owning, earning and accumulating the company’s shares.
The prerequisite for receiving a reward on the basis of
the plans is that a participant acquires company’s shares or
allocates previously owned company’s shares up to the number
determined by the Board of Directors. The performance-based
reward from the plans is based on the company share’s Total
Shareholder Return and on a participant’s employment or
service upon reward payment. The Board shall resolve whether
new shares or existing shares held by the company are given as
reward. The target group of the plans consists of approximately
20 people, including the members of the Management Group.
Additional information about remuneration schemes is
presented in Section 30 Share-based payments.
Other significant events in 2022
CapMan has raised a total of MEUR 168 in the first closing of
the Infra II fund. The fund invests in infrastructure in the energy,
transportation and digital communications sectors in the Nor-
dics consistent with the first Infra fund. The fund has a target
size of MEUR 400 and fundraising for the fund continues.
CapMan Residential fund grew to MEUR 816. CapMan also
established a new long-term Social Real Estate fund that invests
in real estate with a social policy goal in the Nordics. The first
commitments for the fund are expected in the first half of 2023.
The CapMan Special Situations fund reached MEUR 71 at
the end of 2022.
In October 2022, CapMan Infra I fund’s exit from Norled was
closed. In September 2022, Growth I fund exited Avidly and

and updated financial objectives. The new strategy was outlined
during the company’s Capital Markets Day.
In June 2022, the CapMan Growth Equity 2017 fund was
transferred into carry following the exit from Picosun. The fund
has eight assets remaining and CapMan receives carried inter-
est from each exit.
In April 2022, CapMan issued a MEUR 40 sustainabili-
ty-linked bond. The proceeds from the bond were used for
a v oluntary redemption of its MEUR 31.5 senior bond due
in 2023 and general financing purposes and it significantly
extended the maturity of CapMan’s loan portfolio.
In April 2022, CapMan resolved on a directed share issue
of 1,437,675 new shares as early payment of the vested
reward shares from the 2020 incentive plan to CapMan Group
management and selected key employees. The new shares were
registered with the Trade Register on 4 May 2022. The 2020 in-
centive plan will incur MEUR 2.0 in costs for the full year 2022,
of which MEUR 1.4 for the second quarter of 2022 is related
to the payment of the vested reward. The Board of Directors
of CapMan Plc resolved to establish a new Performance Share
Plan 2022–2025 for CapMan Group management, as well as
selected Group key employees.
The 2013 vintage CapMan Nordic Real Estate fund was
transferred into carry. The fund has three assets remaining and
CapMan receives carried interest from each exit.
In March 2022, Nest Capital III, a Nordic private debt fund,
held its final close at MEUR 109.
Events after the end of the financial year
In February 2023, CapMan Plc and non-controlling sharehold-
ers of JAY Solutions sold their share of CapMan’s subsidiary
JAY Solutions to Swedish Bas Invest AB. The disposal of JAY
Solutions is not expected to have a significant impact on Cap-
Man’s result for 2023 or its financial position.
The Board of Directors of CapMan Plc has decided to appoint
Pia Kåll, M.Sc. (Eng.), (born 1980) as the CEO of the company
as of 15 March 2023. Andreas Tallberg, who has served as the

that he is not available for re-election to the Board of Direc-
tors. CapMan’s Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to
the company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting that CapMan’s
current CEO Joakim Frimodig be elected as a member of the
company’s Board of Directors. The proposed members of the
Board of Directors haves stated that if the Annual General
Meeting decides on the composition of the Board of Directors
in accordance with the proposal of the Shareholders’ Nomina-
tion Board, the Board of Directors will elect Frimodig as Chair
from among its members. Frimodig would serve as full-time
Chair of the Board of Directors as of 15 March 2023.

Significant risks and short-term
uncertainties
General risks
Private equity investment is generally subject to a risk of
non-liquid investments, among others, which means uncertain-
ty of the realisation of any increase in value, a risk concerning
general economic development and market situation and a
risk concerning the economy and political situation of target
countries. The most significant short-term risk is the Russian
invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and
related restrictions, which both impact general market sentiment
and development and, as such also CapMan’s business. Risks
related to CapMan’s business are detailed below.
Market risks
Investment operations carried out by CapMan are subject to
general market risk. Market values can change, for example,
because of fluctuations in the equity, fixed income, currency
and real estate markets. Changes in market values impact the
result of CapMan through the appreciations of its investment
assets.
Changes in the equity markets influence the valuation of un-
listed portfolio companies because the valuation methods used
by funds include the share values of suitable listed companies.
Economic uncertainty may have a direct impact on the success
of the funds administered by CapMan, on the success of Cap-
Man’s investment activities, and also on the assets available for
investment or solvency of the current and potential investors of
the funds.
Rising inflation and its potential impact on long-term interest
rates may raise yield expectations and reduce willingness to
invest. In addition, rising inflation may negatively impact cost
efficiency in portfolio companies and at CapMan.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting increase
in geopolitical uncertainty may weaken investor interest also
towards the Nordic countries.
Risks related to the success of the business
The business operations of the CapMan Group have a material
risk of failure regarding the establishment of new private equity
funds and their fundraising. Successful fundraising is important
to management fees and creates opportunities for receiving
carried interest income in the future. For example, poor perfor-
mance of investments made by funds managed by CapMan,
increasing competition or reasons that are independent of
CapMan may make it more difficult to raise funds from new or
current investors in the future.
Gaining new customers or the launch of new investment
areas, products or service businesses may also fail, which may
prevent or hamper the realisation of CapMan’s growth objec-
tives. Large customers or customer concentration in open-end-
ed funds may diminish the growth outlook of such funds,
should one or several customers decide to redeem their units.
Risks related to fair value changes in portfolio
companies, real estate or infrastructure
investments
The values of portfolio companies can vary positively or nega-
tively within short periods if changes occur in the peer group or
in the interest in the company of potential buyers. As a result
of exit processes, significant return is typically realised on
successful investments also in the short term as the exit price
is based on strategic value and synergies created for the buyer,
and not directly on peer group multiples.
The fair values of real estate and infrastructure investments
may also vary between review periods based on changes in,
inter alia, demand, capacity, condition or exit process. The
variations are typically smaller compared to the variations in
the fair value of portfolio companies.
Risks related to carried interest and
performance-based income
The timing of exits and the magnitude of the potential carried
interest income is difficult to foretell. The transaction-based fees
of Wealth Services may also vary significantly from period to
period.
Group companies managing a fund may in certain circum-
stances, pursuant to the terms of the fund agreement, have
to return carried interest income they have received (so-called
clawback). The obligation to return carried interest income ap-
plies typically when, according to the final distribution of funds,
the carried interest income received by the fund management
company exceeds the carried interest it is entitled to when the
fund expires.
CapMan recognises revenue from carried interest, to the
extent that 1) carried interest is based on realised cash flows
and repayment risk is estimated to be very low, 2) CapMan is
entitled to carried interest, 3) a confirmation on the amount has
been received and 4) CapMan is relatively close to receiving it
in cash. Returned carried interest income based on clawback
conditions would, in turn, have a negative impact on CapMan’s
result as a potential clawback provision may not be sufficient.
Risks related to the availability or cost of
financing
Other sources of uncertainty related to CapMan’s operations
and business areas are related to structural changes in the
business environment, and other potential events that, when
realised, may trigger the materialisation of such risks. Such
changes and events may be, for example, inability to retain and
attract key personnel, technological development, digitalisation,
sustainability risks, and cyber security risks that may lead to
inability to adequately meet customer expectations, downtime
of services, interrupted processes, losses as a consequence of,
for example, criminal activity and/or reputational damages.
In addition, changes in the regulatory environment may have
a significant effect on CapMan’s business operations.

The impact of the Russian invasion of
Ukraine on CapMan’s business
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, CapMan has in April
2022 written down MEUR 3.4 of investments in former CapMan
Russia funds on its balance sheet as well as a MEUR 1.2 of
loan receivables from an investment team operating in Russia
and formerly part of CapMan Group. The balance of both items
is now zero. CapMan’s operations do not have other direct links
to Ukraine or Russia. The Russian invasion of Ukraine may
impact CapMan’s business through, among others, the follow-
ing earnings streams mainly due to the increase in geopolitical
uncertainty.
Management fees: Management fees per fund are deter-
mined at the establishment of a fund and are paid to the
management company, i.e., CapMan, twice per year based
on the original fund size, including commitments, over the
fund’s investment period (generally five years) following which
management fees are determined based on the at-cost value
of the underlying portfolio. These fees are long-term and highly
predictable, and we see little volatility in the near/mid-term.
Future management fees are affected mainly by new fund-
raisings and exits from existing funds. If ongoing fundraising
projects are postponed or delayed due to increased geopolitical
uncertainty, management fee growth prospects may be affected.
Exits following the end of the investment period reduce the ag-
gregate at-cost price of the remaining portfolio, on which man-
agement fees are based. If exits are delayed due to increased
uncertainty in the market, management fees remain stable.
In addition to investments in CapMan Russia funds, which
have been written down, funds managed by CapMan do not
have direct investments or other significant exposure to Ukraine
or Russia.
Fees from wealth advisory services: Fees from wealth advi-
sory services are mainly based on long-term contracts and the
impact of the invasion is limited for the time being. Transac-
tion-based fees are more susceptible to market risk and are
therefore more volatile.
Carried interest income: The increased uncertainty, the
impact on value creation in the portfolio and delayed exit pro-
cesses due to geopolitical uncertainty may impact the timing
and magnitude of carried interest from funds. CapMan does
not provide guidance regarding carried interest.
Service business fees: Service fees are based on long-term
contracts and are less susceptible to the impact of the invasion.
Investment business income: Investment business income
is defined in the income statement as the change in fair value
of investments and consists of both realised and unrealised
changes. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, CapMan
wrote down the value of its fund investments in two old Russia
funds. However, the geopolitical uncertainty may impact the
investment business also indirectly, although mid and/or long-
term impacts and their scope are difficult to assess. Because
unlisted assets are valued less frequently than listed assets, the
impact of short-term market shocks and volatility is in general
less pronounced in these asset classes compared to the listed
market. However, the effects may, in turn, take longer to pro-
cess and unlisted assets may lag the listed market in the return
to so-called normal levels.
Financial objectives
CapMan’s objective is to pay an annually increasing dividend to
its shareholders.
The combined growth objective for the Management
Company and Service businesses is more than 15 per cent p.a.
on average. The objective for return on equity is more than 20
per cent p.a. on average. CapMan’s equity ratio target is more
than 50 per cent.
Outlook estimate for 2023
CapMan expects to achieve these financial objectives gradually
and key figures are expected to show fluctuation on an annual
basis considering the nature of the business. CapMan esti-
mates assets under management to grow in 2023. The com-
pany’s objective is to grow operating profit excluding carried
interest income and fair value changes. These estimations do
not include possible items affecting comparability.
Carried interest income from funds managed by CapMan
and the return on CapMan’s investments have a substantial
impact on CapMan’s overall result. In addition to portfolio com-
pany and asset-specific development and exits from portfolio
companies and assets, various factors outside of the portfolio’s
and CapMan’s control influence fair value development of Cap-
Man’s overall investments, as well as the magnitude and timing
of carried interest.
CapMan’s objective is to improve results in the long term,
taking into consideration annual fluctuations related to the
nature of the business. For these and other above-mentioned
reasons, CapMan does not provide numeric estimates for 2023.

As of January 1, 2019, CapMan changed its accounting policy regarding classification of dividend and interest income from financial assets held for trading (“market portfolio”), and the figures for the comparison periods have been restat-
ed. Dividend and interest income from market portfolio previously included in turnover has been transferred to item Fair value changes of investments.
2)
CapMan has changed the calculation of Return on equity (ROE) in 2019. Return on equity is calculated as profit for the period divided by average total equity (incl. non-controlling interests). Previously, ROE was calculated as profit attribut-
able to equity holders of the parent divided by average equity attributable to equity holders of the parent. The figures for the comparison periods have been restated accordingly.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Group information
CapMan’s business comprise of private equity fund manage-
ment and advisory services, as well as investment business. In
the Management Company Business, the funds managed by
CapMan make investments in Nordic companies and in real es-
tate and infrastructure assets in the Nordic countries. The Man-
agement Company Business also includes the wealth services
offered to smaller investors. The Service Business includes
analysis and reporting services, and procurement services to
companies. Through its investment business, CapMan invests in
the private equity asset class, mainly in its own funds, but also
selectively in funds managed by external fund managers.
The parent company of the Group is CapMan Plc and is
domiciled in Helsinki, with a registered office address at Ludvig-
inkatu 6, 00130 Helsinki, Finland.
The Consolidated Financial Statements may be viewed online
at www.capman.com, or a hard copy is available from the office
of the parent company.
The Consolidated Financial Statements for 2022 have been
approved for publication by CapMan Plc’s Board of Directors
on February 1, 2023. Pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act,
shareholders may adopt or reject the financial statements and
make decisions on amendments to them at the Annual General
Meeting.
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accord-
ance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
in force at December 31, 2022 as adopted by the European
Union. International Financial Reporting Standards, referred to
in the Finnish Accounting Act and in ordinances issued based
on the provisions of this Act, are standards and their interpre-
tations adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down
in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament
and of the Council. The notes to the consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish
accounting standards as and where they supplement IFRS
requirements .
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
IFRS requires the Group’s management to make estimates and
assumptions when applying CapMan’s accounting principles, and
these are presented in more detail under ‘Use of estimates’.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been pre-
pared under the historical cost convention, except for financial
assets and liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss.
The information in the Consolidated Financial Statements is
presented in thousands of euros. Figures in the accounts have
been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures
can deviate from the presented sum figure.
New and amended standards and
interpretations applied in financial year ended
The Group has applied the following amended standards and
interpretations that have come into effect as of January 1, 2022.
They had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
•
Amendments to standards IFRS 3 Business Combinations, IAS
16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Con-
tingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. These amendments
provide further clarifications for a more consistent application
of the standards, or update references.
•
Annual Improvements 2018-2020. The annual improvements
aim at streamlining and clarifying existing standards. The an-
nual improvements contain amendments to IAS 41 Agriculture,
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards, and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
Adoption of new and amended standards and
interpretations applicable in future financial years
The Group has not yet adopted the following new and amended
standards and interpretations already issued by the IASB. The
Group will adopt them as of the effective date or, if the date is
other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning
of the subsequent financial year.
These amendments have been endorsed for use by the European
Union:
•
Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to
Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (effec-
tive for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2023).
•
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting poli-
cies (effective for financial years beginning on or after January
1, 2023).
•
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting
Estimates (effective for financial years beginning on or after
January 1, 2023).
These amended standards are not expected to have an impact on
the Group’s financial statements .

Consolidation principles
As CapMan has determined it meets the definition of an
investment entity, its subsidiaries are classified either as
operating subsidiaries, that are considered to be an extension
of the Parent’s operations, and as such, they are consolidated
or investment entity subsidiaries, that are fair valued through
profit or loss. The types of subsidiaries and their treatment in
CapMan’s consolidated accounts are as follows:
•
Subsidiaries that provide fund management services (fund
managers) or manage direct investments are considered to
be an extension of the Parent’s business and as such, they
are consolidated;
•
Subsidiaries that provide fund management services (fund
managers) and which also hold direct investments in the
funds are consolidated and the investments in the funds are
fair valued through profit or loss;
•
Subsidiaries that provide fund investment advisory services
(advisors) are considered to be an extension of the Parent’s
business and as such, they are consolidated;
•
Investment entity subsidiaries (CapMan Fund Investments
SICAV-SIF), through which CapMan makes its own fund
investments, are valued at fair value through profit or loss.
Significant judgment applied by management in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements –
investment entity basis
CapMan qualifies as an investment entity as defined by IFRS
10, because the corner stone of its business purpose is to
obtain capital from investors to its closed-end private equity
funds and to provide investment management services to those
funds to gain both capital appreciation and investment income.
Direct investments represent a relatively small part compared
to total assets under management. CapMan obtains funds from
many external investors for investment purposes. Documented
exit strategies exist for each fund’s portfolio investments. Each
fund’s portfolio investments and the real estate investments
are fair valued and such fair value information is provided both
to the fund investors on reporting date and also for CapMan’s
internal management reporting purposes. In addition, manage-
ment has assessed that the following characteristics further
support investment entity categorization: CapMan holds several
investments itself in the funds, investments in the funds are
held by several investors, the investors are not related parties
and the investments are held mostly in form of equity.
Significant judgment applied by management in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements –
control over funds
One of the most significant judgments management made in
preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements is
the determination that Company does not have control over
the funds under its management. Control is presumed to exist
when a parent has power over the investee, has exposure to
variable returns from the fund and is able to use its power to
affect the level of returns.
CapMan manages the funds against management fee
received from the investors on the basis of the investment
management mandate negotiated with the investors and it also
makes direct investments in the funds under its management.
Accordingly, CapMan was required to determine, whether it is
acting primarily as a principal or as an agent in exercising its
power over the funds.
In the investment management mandate the investors have
set detailed instructions in all circumstances relating to the
management of the fund limiting the actual influence of the
general partner at very low. In general, having a qualified ma-
jority, investors have a right to replace the general partner and/
or fund manager. The remuneration CapMan is entitled to is
commensurate with the services it provides and corresponds to
remuneration customarily present in arrangements for similar
services on an arm’s length basis. CapMan’s direct investment
(typically between of 1% to 5%) in the funds and thus the
share of the variability of the returns compared with the other
investors is relatively small. As an investor in the fund CapMan
has no representation nor voting rights as it has been specifical-
ly excluded in the investment management mandate.
Therefore, management has concluded that despite it from
formal perspective exercises power over the funds by con-
trolling the general partner of the fund, its actual operational
ability is limited in the investment management mandate in
a manner that the general partner is considers to act as an
agent. Furthermore, CapMan’s exposure to variable returns
from the fund and its power to affect the level of returns is very
low for the reasons described above. Therefore, CapMan has
determined that it does not have control over the funds under
its management .
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method. All
intercompany transactions are eliminated in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Profit or loss, together with all other
comprehensive income-related items, are booked to the owners
of the parent company or owners not holding a controlling
interest in the companies concerned. Non-controlling interests
are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under equity
separately from equity attributable to the owners of the parent
company.
Subsidiaries and businesses acquired during the year are
consolidated from the date on which the Group acquires a con-
trolling interest, and in the case of companies and businesses
divested by the Group during the financial year up to the date
on which CapMan’s controlling interest expires.
Associates
An associated company is an entity in which the Group has
significant influence but does not hold a controlling interest.
This is generally defined as existing when the Group holds,
either directly or indirectly, more than 20% of a company’s
voting rights.
Associated companies have been consolidated in accord-
ance with the equity method. Under this, the investment in an
associated company is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus
post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the company’s
net assets, less any impairment value. If the Group’s share of
the loss incurred by an associated company exceeds the book
value of its investment, the investment is booked at zero in the
balance sheet, and losses exceeding book value are not com-
bined unless the Group is committed to meeting the obligations
of the company concerned. The Group’s share of the profit
recorded by an associated company during the financial year in
accordance with its holding in the company is presented as a
separate item in the income statement after operating profit.

Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in accordance with internal
reporting presented to the chief operating decision maker.
The latter is responsible for allocating resources to operating
segments and evaluating their performance and is defined as
the Group’s Management Group, which is responsible for taking
strategic decisions affecting CapMan.
Translation differences
The result and financial position of each of the Group’s
business units are measured in the currency of the primary
economic environment for that unit (‘functional currency’).
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in
euros, which is the functional and presentation currency of the
Group’s parent company .
Transactions in foreign currencies have been recorded in the
parent company’s functional currency at the rates of exchange
prevailing on the date of the transactions; in practice a reason-
able approximation of the actual rate of exchange on the date
of the transaction is often used. Foreign exchange differences
for operating business items are recorded in the appropriate
income statement account before operating profit and, for
financial items, are recorded in financial income and expenses.
The Group’s foreign currency items have not been hedged.
In the consolidated financial statements, the income state-
ments of subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than
the euro are translated into euros using the average rates for the
accounting period. Their balance sheets are translated using the
closing rate on the balance sheet date. All resulting exchange
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Translation differences caused by changes in exchange rates
for the cumulative shareholders’ equity of foreign subsidiaries
have been recognised in other comprehensive income.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets have been reported in the balance sheet at their
acquisition value less depreciation according to plan. Assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and equipment 4–5 years
Other long-term expenditure 4–5 years
The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed on
every balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect changes in the
expected economic benefits where necessary.
Tangible assets include right-of-use assets measured in
accordance with IFRS 16, which are disclosed in the notes.
More information on these items is included in chapter Leases
of Accounting Policies.
Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business merger is booked as the sum
paid for a holding, the holding held by owners with a non-con-
trolling interest, and the holding previously owned that, when
combined, exceeds the fair value of the net assets of the
acquisition. Write-offs are not made against goodwill, and
possible impairment of goodwill is tested annually. Goodwill
is measured as the original acquisition cost less accumulated
impairment. The goodwill acquired during a merger is booked
against the units or groups of units responsible for generating
the cash flow used for testing impairment. Every unit or group
of units for which goodwill is booked represents the lowest level
of the organisation at which goodwill is monitored internally
for management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at operating
segment level .
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial
recognition at cost. Intangible assets are recognised in the
balance sheet only if the cost of the asset can be measured
reliably and if it is probable that the future economic benefits
attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.
Agreements and trademarks acquired in business mergers
are booked at fair value at the time of acquisition. As they
have a limited life, they are booked in the balance sheet at
acquisition cost minus accumulated write-offs. IT systems are
expensed on the basis of the costs associated with acquiring
and installing the software concerned. Depreciation is spread
across the financial life of the relevant software licences. Im-
pairment is tested whenever there is an indication that the book
value of intangible assets may exceed the recoverable amount
of these assets.
The estimated useful lives are:
Agreements and trademarks 10 years
Other intangible assets 3–5 years
Impairment of assets
The Group reviews all assets for indications that their value may
be impaired on each balance sheet date. If such indication is
found to exist, the recoverable amount of the asset in question
is estimated. The recoverable amount for goodwill is measured
annually independent of indications of impairment.
The need for impairment is assessed on the level of
cash-generating units, in other words at the smallest identifia-
ble group of assets that is largely independent of other units
and cash inflows from other assets. The recoverable amount
is the fair value of an asset, less costs to sell or value in use.
Value in use refers to the expected future net cash flow projec-
tions, which are discounted to the present value, received from
the asset in question or the cash-generating unit. The discount
rate used in measuring value in use is the rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset. Impairment is recorded in the
income statement as an expense. The recoverable amount for
financial assets is either the fair value or the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted by the initial effective
interest rate.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable
amount of an asset is below the carrying amount, and it is rec-
ognised in the income statement immediately. An impairment
loss of a cash-generating unit is first allocated to reduce the
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generat -

ing unit and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other
assets of the unit pro rata. An impairment loss is reversed
if there is an indication that an impairment loss may have
decreased and the carrying amount of the asset has changed
from the recognition date of the impairment loss.
The increased carrying amount due to reversal cannot
exceed what the depreciated historical cost would have been
if the impairment had not been recognised. Reversal of an
impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. The carrying amount
of goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more fre-
quently if there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired,
due to events and circumstances that may increase the proba-
bility of impairment.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets have been classified into the
following categories:
1) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
2) financial assets at amortised cost
Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair
value through profit or loss. Classification of debt instruments,
such as trade and loan receivables, is based on the business
model for managing and for the contractual cash flow char-
acteristics of these financial assets. Debt instruments of the
Management Company Business and Service Business are
classified as financial assets at amortised cost, because they
are held solely in order to collect contractual cash flows, which
are solely payments of principal and interest. Current debt
instruments, included in the market portfolio of the Investment
Business, are classified as at fair value through profit or loss,
because they are held for trading. Non-current debt instruments
included in the Investment Business are held for both selling
purposes and collecting contractual cash flows (principal and
interest), and the Group designates these assets as measured
at fair value through profit or loss, in order to reduce inconsist-
ency with regards to recognizing gains and losses of financial
assets within the Investment Business, because the Group as
an investment entity manages and monitors the performance
of these investments based on fair values according to group’s
investment strategy.
Transaction costs are reported in the initial cost of finan-
cial assets, excluding items valued at fair value through profit
or loss. All purchases and sales of financial instruments are
recognised on the trade date. An asset is eligible for derecog-
nition and removed from the balance sheet when the Group
has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash flows
or when it has substantially transferred all of the risks and
rewards of ownership of the asset outside the Group. Financial
assets are classified as current if they have been acquired for
trading purposes or fall due within 12 months.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Fair value through profit or loss class comprises of financial as-
sets that are equity instruments or acquired as held for trading,
in which case they can be either equity or debt instruments or
derivative instruments. Debt instruments are also classified to
this class, if they are held for both selling purposes and collect-
ing contractual cash flows and which CapMan as an investment
entity designates as financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss at initial recognition in order to reduce inconsistency
with regards to recognizing gains and losses of financial assets
within the Investment Business.
Fund investments and other investments in non-current
assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss and their fair value change is presented on the line
item ”Fair value changes of investments” in the statement of
comprehensive income. Fair value information of the non-cur-
rent fund investments is provided quarterly to Company’s
management and to other investors in the investment funds
management by CapMan. The valuation of CapMan’s funds’
investment is based on International Private Equity and Venture
Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG) and IFRS 13.
Investments in listed shares, funds and interest-bearing
securities as well as those derivative instruments that do not
meet the hedge accounting criteria or for which hedge account-
ing is not applied in current assets are measured at fair value
through profit or loss. Listed shares and derivative contracts in
current assets are measured at fair value by the last trade price
on active markets on the balance sheet date. The fair value of
current investments in funds is determined as the funds’ net
asset value at the balance sheet date. The fair value of current
investments in interest-bearing securities is based on the last
trade price on the balance sheet date or, in an illiquid market,
on values determined by the counterparty.
The change in fair value of current financial assets measured
at fair value through profit or loss as well as dividend and inter-
est income from short-term investments in listed shares and
interest-bearing securities are presented on the line item ”Fair
value changes of investments” in the statement of comprehen-
sive income, except for derivative instruments, which are used
for a fair value hedge purpose. In these cases, the effectively
hedging component of the derivative instrument’s fair value
change is recognised in the same line item as the hedged
item’s change in the statement of comprehensive income, and
the remainder of the derivative’s fair value change is recog-
nised as a financing cost. CapMan uses derivative instruments,
such as foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge against
currency changes of foreign currency denominated trade
receivables, but does not apply hedge accounting to these
derivatives. In these cases, the change of fair value of the de-
rivative instrument that offsets an equal change of the foreign
currency denominated trade receivable, being the hedged item,
is recognised on the same line item as the change of the hedge
item, i.e. in turnover.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets at amortised cost mainly include non-in-
terest-bearing trade receivables and interest-bearing loan
receivables of the Management Company Business and Service
Business. These financial assets are held solely in order to
collect contractual cash flows, and whose payments are fixed
or determinable and which are not quoted in an active market.
They are included in current assets, except for maturities great-
er than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which
are classified as non-current assets .

Information for shareholders
Expected credit loss of the trade receivables is evaluated by
using the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9, under which
a provision matrix is maintained, based on the historical credit
losses and forward-looking information regarding general eco-
nomic indicators. In addition, materially overdue receivables are
evaluated on a client basis.
Expected credit losses of loan receivables is evaluated based
on the general approach under IFRS 9. The group evaluates
the credit risk of the borrowers by estimating the delay of the
repayments and borrower’s future economic development.
Depending on the estimated credit risk the group measures the
loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit
losses or lifetime expected credit losses. Inputs used for the
measurement of expected credit losses include, among others,
available statistics on default risk based on credit risk rating
grades and the historical credit losses the group has incurred.
Credit risk of a loan receivable is assumed low on initial
recognition in case the contractual payments of principal and
interest are dependent on the cash proceeds the borrower
receives from the underlying investments. In these cases, the
borrower is considered to have a strong capacity to meet its
contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. It is consid-
ered that there has been a significant increase in the credit risk,
if the contractual payments have become more than 30 days
past due, and a default event has occurred, if the payment is
more than 90 days past due, unless resulting from an adminis-
trative oversight .
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise
cash in banks and in hand, together with liquid short-term de-
posits. Cash assets have a maximum maturity of three months.
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and
liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable
that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than
through continued use. The recognition criteria are regarded to
be met when a sale is highly probable, the asset (or a disposal
group) is available for immediate sale in its present condi-
tion subject only to terms that are usual and customary, the
management is committed to the plan to sell the asset and the
sale is expected to take place within one year from the date of
classification.
As from the classification date, a non-current asset (or a
disposal group) held for sale is measured at the lower of its
carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. Once
classified as held for sale, intangible and tangible assets are no
longer amortised nor depreciated.
Dividend payment and repayment of capital
Payment of dividends and repayment of capital is decided in
the Annual General Meeting. The dividend payment and repay-
ment of capital proposed to the Annual General Meeting by the
Board of Directors is not subtracted from distributable funds
until approved by the Annual General Meeting.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities largely consist of loans from financial
institutions, leasing liabilities and derivate liabilities. Financial
liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs
are reported in the initial book value of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities, except for derivative liabilities, are subse-
quently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest
method. Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial liabilities are reported in non-current
and current liabilities.
Leases
Group’s lease agreements are mainly related to facilities,
company cars and IT equipment. Group applies the exemptions
allowed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease
term ends within 12 months as of the initial application, and
lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value.
Exemptions are applicable to some of the leased premises,
such as office hotels, and to all laptops, printers and copying
machines, among others. These lease payments are recognised
as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis.
Other lease agreements are recognised as right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities in the balance sheet. These agreements
include long-term lease agreements of facilities and company
cars. Right-of-use assets are included in tangible assets and the
related lease liabilities are included in non-current and current
interest-bearing financial liabilities.
CapMan Group does not act as a lessor.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group
has a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, and it is probable that an outflow will be required to
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the outflow can
be made.
The Group’s provisions are evaluated on the closing date and
are adjusted to match the best estimate of their size on the
day in question. Changes are booked in the same entry in the
income statement as the original provision.
Employee benefits
Pension obligations
The defined contribution pension plan is a pension plan in
accordance with the local regulations and practices of its
business domiciles. Payments made to these plans are charged
to the income statement in the financial period to which they
relate. Pension cover has been arranged through insurance

Share-based payments
The fair value of the share-based long-term incentive plan is
measured at the grant date based on the starting share price
of the plan, its assumed development during the vesting peri-
od, forfeiture rate and estimated dividends to be paid during
the vesting period. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line

basis over the vesting period. The accumulated amount ex-
pensed is adjusted, should the forfeiture rate change or should
shares allocated to the plan be sold during the vesting period.
The fair value of stock options is assessed on the date they are
granted and are expensed in equal instalments in the income
statement over the vesting period of the rights concerned. An
evaluation of how many options will generate an entitlement
to shares is made at the end of every reporting period. Fair
value is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The
terms of the stock option programs are presented in Note 30.
Share-based payments .
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised by first
allocating the transaction price to performance obligations, and
when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the
control of the underlying service to the customer, the revenue
related to this performance obligation is recognised. Perfor-
mance obligation can be satisfied either at a point in time or
over time.
Management fees and service fees in the Management
Company Business
As a fund manager, CapMan receives management fees during
a fund’s entire period of operations. Management fee is a vari-
able consideration and is typically based on the fund’s original
size during its investment period, which is usually five years.
Thereafter the fee is typically based on the acquisition cost of
the fund’s remaining portfolio. Annual management fees are
usually 0.5-2.0% of a fund’s total commitments, depending
whether the fund is a real estate fund, a mezzanine fund, or
an equity fund. In the case of real estate funds, management
fees are also paid on committed debt capital. The average
management fee percentage paid by CapMan-managed funds
is approx. 1%.
Management fees paid by the funds are recognised as income
over time, because the fund management service is the only per-
formance obligation in the contract and it is satisfied over time.
Management company business also includes wealth man-
agement services to institutional clients, foundations, family
offices and wealthy private clients. Fees from these services
are recognised over time, when the service is provided and the
control is transferred to the customer, except for success and
transaction fees, which are recognised as income at a point in
time, because the underlying performance obligation is satis-
fied and the control of the related service is transferred to the
customer at a point in time.
Fees in the Service Business
CapMan’s Service Business includes analysis, reporting and
back office services provided by JAY Solutions and procurement
services provided by CapMan Procurement services (CaPS). Fee
from these services are primarily recognised over time.
Some of the contracts with customers related to the
fundraising services earlier included in the Service Business
includes a significant financing component. When determining
the transaction price in these cases, the promised amount of
consideration is adjusted for the effects of the time value of
money and customer’s credit characteristics.
Carried interest income
Carried interest refers to the distribution of the profits of a
successful private equity fund among fund investors and the
fund manager responsible for the fund’s investment activities.
In practice, carried interest means a share of a fund’s cash flow
received by the fund manager after the fund has transferred to
carry.
The recipients of carried interest in the private equity indus-
try are typically the investment professionals responsible for a
fund’s investment activities. In CapMan’s case, carried interest
is split between CapMan Plc and funds’ investment teams.
CapMan applies a principle where funds transfer to carry
and carried interest income are based on realised cash flows,
not on a calculated and as yet unrealised return. As the level of
carried interest income varies, depending on the timing of exits
and the stage at which funds are in their life cycle, predicting
future levels of carried interest is difficult.
To transfer to carry, a fund must return its paid-in capital to
investors and pay a preferential annual return on this. The pref-
erential annual return is known as a hurdle rate, which is typi-
cally set between 7-10% IRR p.a. When a fund has transferred
to carry, the remainder of its cash flows is distributed between
investors and the fund manager. Investors typically receive 80%
of the cash flows and the fund manager 20%. When a fund is
generating carried interest, the fund manager receives carried
interest income from all of the fund’s cash flows, even if an exit
is made at below the original acquisition cost.
Revenue from carried interest is recognised when a fund has
transferred to carry and to the extent carried interest is based
on realised cash flows and management has estimated it being
highly probable that there is no risk of repayment of carried
interest back to the fund. Carried interest is recognised when
CapMan is entitled to it by the reporting date, a confirmation
on the amount has been received and CapMan is relatively
close to receiving it in cash.
Potential repayment risk of carried interest to the funds
(clawback)
Potential repayment risk to the funds (clawback) is considered
when assessing whether revenue recognition criteria have been
fulfilled. Clawback risk relates to a situation when, in conjunc-
tion with the liquidation of a fund, it is recognised that the Gen-
eral Partner has received more carried interest than agreed in
the fund agreement. These situations can occur, for example, if
there are recallable distributions or if representations and war-
ranties have been given by the vendor in the sale and purchase
agreement when the fund is towards the end of its lifecycle.
Potential repayment risk to the funds (clawback) is estimat-
ed by the management at each reporting date. The man-
agement judgment includes significant estimates relating to
investment exit timing, exit probability and realisable fair value.
The clawback risk is measured by using the expected value
method, i.e. by calculating a probability weighted average of
estimated alternative investment exit outcomes. The clawback
is an adjustment to the related revenue recognised and is
included in the current accrued liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheet .

Income taxes
Tax expenses in the consolidated income statement comprise
taxes on taxable income and changes in deferred taxes for the
financial period. Taxes are booked in the income statement
unless they relate to other areas of comprehensive income or
directly to items booked as equity. In these cases, taxes are
booked to either other comprehensive income or directly to
equity. Taxes on taxable income for the financial period are
calculated on the basis of the tax rate in force for the country
in question. Taxes are adjusted on the basis of deferred income
tax assets and liabilities from previous financial periods, if
applicable. The Group’s taxes have been recognised during the
financial year using the average expected tax rate.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences
between the carrying amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes
have only been recognised to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences can be utilised. The largest temporary
differences arise from the valuation of investments at fair value.
Deferred taxes are not recognised for non-tax deductible amor-
tisation of goodwill. Deferred taxes have been measured at the
statutory tax rates enacted by the balance sheet date and that
are expected to apply when the related deferred tax is realised .
Items affecting comparability and alternative performance
measures
CapMan uses alternative performance measures, such as
Adjusted operating profit, to denote the financial performance
of its business and to improve the comparability between differ-
ent periods. Alternative performance measures do not replace
performance measures in accordance with the IFRS and are
reported in addition to such measures. Alternative performance
measures, as such are presented, are derived from perfor-
mance measures as reported in accordance with the IFRS by
adding or deducting the items affecting comparability and they
will be nominated as adjusted.
Items affecting comparability are, among others, material
items related to mergers and acquisitions or major develop-
ment projects, material gains or losses related to the acqui-
sition or disposals of business units, material gains or losses
related to the acquisition or disposal of intangible assets, mate-
rial expenses related to decisions by authorities and material
gains or losses related to reassessment of potential repayment
risk to the funds.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with IFRS standards requires Group management to make
estimates and assumptions in applying CapMan’s account-
ing principles. These estimates and assumptions have an
impact on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities in the balance sheet of the
financial statements and on the reported amounts of income
and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have a
substantial impact on the Group’s operating result. Estimates
and assumptions have been used in assessing the impairment
of goodwill, the fair value of fund investments, the impairment
testing of intangible and tangible assets, in determining useful
economic lives and expected credit losses, and in reporting
deferred taxes, among others.
Valuation of fund investments
The determination of the fair value of fund investments using
the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation
Guidelines (IPEVG) takes into account a range of factors,
including the price at which an investment was acquired, the
nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading val-
ues on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and
projected operating performance, and financing transactions
subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. These valua-
tion methodologies involve a significant degree of management
judgment. Because there is significant uncertainty in the valu-
ation of, or in the stability of, the value of illiquid investments,
the fair values of such investments as reflected in a fund’s net
asset value do not necessarily reflect the prices that would
actually be obtained when such investments are realised.
Valuation of fund investments is described in more detail in
the Note 32.
Valuation of other investments
The fair value of growth equity investments is determined
quarterly by using valuation methods according to IPEVG and
IFRS 13. The valuations are based on forecasted cash flows or
peer group multiples. In estimating fair value of an investment,
a method that is the most appropriate in light of the facts, na-
ture and circumstances of the investment is applied. External
valuations are made at least once a year to verify the fair values
of growth equity investments.
Goodwill impairment test
Goodwill impairment test is performed annually. The most
significant assumptions related to the recoverable amount are
turnover growth, operating margin, discount rate and terminal
growth rate. Turnover growth and operating margin estimates
are based on the current cost structure and turnover generated
by the current customer base. Turnover is expected to grow
to the extent that can be reasonably supported by the current
personnel and other resources. This means such additional
turnover and costs included in the business plan that are relat-
ed to future expansion – and expected to be mainly visible as
new customers and increased headcount – have been removed
from the cash flow forecasts when preparing the goodwill
impairment test.
Goodwill impairment test is described in more detail in the
Note 15 .

2. Segment information
CapMan has three operating segments: the Management company business, Service business and
Investments business.
In the Management Company business, CapMan manages private equity funds and offers
wealth advisory services. Private equity funds are invested by its partnership-based investment
teams. Investments are mainly Nordic unlisted companies, real estate and infrastructure assets.
CapMan raises capital for the funds from Nordic and international investors. CapMan Wealth
Services offer comprehensive wealth advisory services related to the listed and unlisted market
to smaller investors, such as family offices, smaller institutions and high net worth individuals.
Income from the Management company business is derived from fee income and carried interest
received from funds. The fee income include management fees related to CapMan’s position as a
fund management company, fees from other services closely related to fund management and fees
from wealth advisory services.
In the Service business, CapMan offers procurement services and distributes software lisences
to companies in Finland, Sweden and the Baltics, through CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS)
and technology-based analytics, reporting and back office services through JAY Solutions to inves-
tors.
Through its Investment business, CapMan invests from its own balance sheet in the private
equity asset class and mainly to its own funds. Income in this business segment is generated by
changes in the fair value of investments and realised returns following exits and periodic returns,
such as interest and dividends.
Other includes the corporate functions not allocated to operating segments. These functions
include part of the activities of group accounting, corporate communications, group management
and costs related to share-based payment. Other also includes the eliminations of the interseg-
ment transactions.
CapMan has changed the turnover specification in segment reporting so that management and
service fees are combined to a single line item Fee income as of the half-year report for the current
year 2022 .

3. Turnover
Revenue from contracts with customers include management fees, service fees and carried inter-
est.
Management company business revenue is primarily related to long-term contracts. Manage-
ment fees are typically recorded over time, whereas service fees include both transaction fees
recorded at a point in time and other service fees, such as fees from wealth and asset manage-
ment services, recorded over time. Carried interest is recognised at a point in time. Revenue from
the Service business is based on both long-term and short-term contracts and includes solely fees
recognised over time. Segment information disclosed in Note 2 provides more information on the
businesses included in each reportable segment.
The below table disaggregates the revenue into management fees, fees from services and car-
ried interest, as well as timing of revenue recognition by reportable segment.

13. Assets held for sale
On December 22, 2022, CapMan Plc and the non-controlling shareholders of JAY Solutions Oy,
subsidiary of CapMan Plc, signed an agreement to sell their ownership of JAY Solutions Oy to Bas
Invest AB and to the management of JAY Solutions Oy. The transaction was closed on February
1, 2023. CapMan had an ownership interest of 60% in JAY Solutions Oy, but the subsidiary was
consolidated in full without separating non-controlling interest because of a symmetric option
arrangement. Resulting from the sale, CapMan classified assets and liabilities related to JAY Solu-
tions Oy as non-current assets held for sale under IFRS 5 on December 31, 2022. In conjunction
with this, CapMan valued these net assets to the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value
less costs on disposal and resulting from this, recorded an impairment loss of EUR 2.6 million to
goodwill allocated to JAY Solutions in the financial year 2022 (see Note 15 for details). Impairment
loss is reported under reportable segment Service Business (see Note 2), where JAY Solutions’
assets and liabilities held for sale are included. The sale of shares is not expected to have a signifi-
cant impact on CapMan’s operating profit or financial position in 2023.
Assets and liabilities related to JAY Solutions Oy have been classified as held for sale and
disclosed separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The carrying amounts of those assets and
liabilities are presented in the below table:

Impairment test
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and has been allocated to the cash-generating
units as follows:
EUR 1,000 2022 2021
CapMan Wealth Services 7,412 7,412
JAY Solutions 4,828 7,428
Other 474 474
Total 12,714 15,314
JAY Solutions
As JAY Solutions is considered an asset held for sale as at December 31, 2022, its recoverable
amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal in the goodwill impairment test. Because the
expected selling price of JAY Solutions’s shares less their disposal costs is lower than its carrying
amount, an impairment loss of EUR 2.6 million was recorded and reported on the line item De-
preciation, amortisation and impairment in the consolidated income statement and in reportable
segment Service Business (see Note 2). The fair value of JAY Solutions is classified in the fair value
hierarchy level 1, as it is based on the selling price agreed in the Share Purchase Agreement.
In the previous year, impairment test of JAY Solutions was based on value-in-use and no impair-
ment losses were recognised. The table further below discloses the key assumptions applied in the
previous year’s impairment test.
CapMan Wealth Services
Recoverable amount of CapMan Wealth Services is based on value-in-use using five-year discount-
ed cash flow projections based on a business plan approved by the management. Future cash
flows arising from additional turnover generated by increased personnel, and thus extending the
operations and enhancing the performance, have been excluded from the cash flow projections
applied in the impairment test. Cash flows for the period extending over the planning period are
calculated using the terminal value method. Based on the impairment test, goodwill allocated to
CapMan Wealth Services was not impaired.
Key assumptions applied in the impairment test based on value-in-use are set forth in the table
below:
2022 2021
EUR 1,000
CapMan
Wealth
Services
CapMan
Wealth
Services
JAY
Solutions
Pre-tax discount rate 17.8% 8.9% 10.6%
Average turnover growth 20.8% 18.3% 37.2%
Average EBIT margin 50.6% 48.1% 38.4%
Terminal growth rate 1.0% 1.0% 1.0%
Discount rate takes into account listed domestic asset and wealth managers as a benchmark
group. Cost of equity includes risk premiums for Finland and company size. These both have
increased during the financial year. As a risk-free rate, a reference rate of Finnish 10-year govern-
ment bonds has been applied, and it has increased as well during the year. The beforementioned
facts results in a significantly higher discount rate for 2022 than for 2021.
Of key assumptions applied in this year’s impairment test, recoverable amount is most sensitive
to changes in turnover growth during the explicit forecasting period (5 years). Based on the sen-
sitivity analysis, if turnover growth during the explicit forecasting period would be 18 percentage
points lower, recoverable amount would equal the carrying amount of the respective cash-generat-
ing unit. At the moment, recoverable amount exceeds carrying amount by EUR 22 million, and no
reasonably possible change in any of the other key assumptions would lead to impairment.

Total 5,545 10,066
Non-current trade receivables are related to previously offered fundraising and advisory servic-
es. Because of the significant financing component related to these receivables, the promised
amount of consideration has been adjusted for the effects of the time value of money and the
credit characteristics of the customer. However, no contract assets are related to these customer
contracts, as the Group’s right to the amount of consideration is unconditional and subject only to
the passage of time.
Loan receivables include EUR 0.2 million from Äkäs Capital Oy, a related party of CapMan Plc.
Allowance for expected credit losses of loan receivables is presented below separately for por-
tion measured at an amount equal to 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses.
As at December 31, 2022, loss allowance measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected
credit losses is fully related to credit-impaired loan receivables from entities controlled by the
former or current investment teams, and granted for making co-investments in funds managed by
CapMan. The most significant credit-impaired loan receivables are from entities controlled by the
former CapMan Russia investment team. CapMan has determined these loan receivables being
credit-impaired, because the underlying funds have filed for liquidation and it seems not probable
that the loans and accrued interests would be repaid to CapMan in full. The other credit-impaired
loan receivables are related to loans granted to making co-investments to such funds, whose carry
potential is estimated to be low, and therefore, CapMan has determined it seems not probable that
the borrowing entity would repay these loans and accrued interests in full.
As at December 31, 2021, the allowance measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected
credit losses was related to loan receivables granted to entities controlled by investment teams, of
which credit risk had increased significantly since initial recognition.”

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include derivative assets. CapMan uses short-
term derivative instruments to hedge against currency changes in foreign currency denominated
trade receivables. CapMan does not apply hedge accounting to derivative instruments and deriva-
tives are initially measured at costs and thereafter to fair value at the end of the reporting period.
Fair values of derivatives are based on market values or values derived from market values at the
end of the reporting period (fair value hierarchy level 2). Translation difference incurred to foreign
currency denominated trade receivables is recognised to turnover and that fair value change of
the derivative instrument that is effectively hedging the underlying trade receivable, is recorded to
turnover and the remainder of the derivative’s fair value change is recorded to financial expenses.
In the comparison period, no derivative instruments were used.
Loan receivables include mainly current loan receivables from related parties and other employ-
ees. Accrued income includes mainly prepayments.
Other receivables mainly include unvoiced sale of services, costs to be re-invoiced, income tax
receivables and receivables related to sold financial assets.

Dividends paid and proposal for profit distribution and repayment of capital
For the financial year 2021, dividend and repayment of invested unrestricted equity fund amount-
ed to EUR 0.15 per share or EUR 23.6 million in total. Dividend and equity repayment was paid in
two instalments, the first of which, amounting to EUR 12.5 million, was paid on March 25, 2022,
and the second of which, amounting to EUR 11.1 million, was paid on September 23, 2022.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 15 March
2023 that a dividend of EUR 0.08 per share, equivalent to a total of approx. EUR 12.6 million, and
a repayment of invested unrestricted equity fund of EUR 0.09 per share, equivalent to a total of
approx. EUR 14.2 million, would be paid to the shareholders. The aggregate amount of proposed
dividends and repayment of invested unrestriced equity fund would be approx. EUR 26.9 million,
and it is proposed to be paid in two instalments six months apart .
Ownership and voting rights agreements
A shareholder whose share of the entire share capital or the voting rights of the Company reaches
or exceeds 33.3 % or 50 % has, at the request of other shareholders, the obligation to redeem his
or her shares and related securities in accordance with the Articles of Association of CapMan Plc.
Ownership and voting rights agreements
As at 31 December 2022 CapMan Plc had no knowledge of agreements or arrangements, related
to the Company’s ownership and voting rights, that were apt to have substantial impact on the
share value of CapMan Plc .

30. Share-based payments
As at the balance sheet date, CapMan has two investment based long-term share-based incentive
plans (“Share plan 2020-2023” and “Share plan 2022-25”) in force. These programs are used to
commit key individuals and executives to the company and reinforce the alignment of interests of
key individuals and executives and CapMan shareholders. In the investment based long-term share-
based incentive plan the participants are committed to shareholder value creation by investing a
significant amount into the CapMan Plc share.
The investment-based long-term incentive plan 2020-23 includes one performance period. The
performance period commenced on 1 April 2020 and will end on 31 March 2023. The participants
may earn a performance-based reward from the performance period. The prerequisite for receiving
reward on the basis of the plan is that a participant acquires company’s shares or allocates previ-
ously owned company’s shares up to the number determined by the Board of Directors. The per-
formance-based reward from the plan is based on the company share’s Total Shareholder Return
(TSR) and on a participant’s employment or service upon reward payment. An early payment of
the vested reward shares was conducted in April 2022, but irrespective of this, the plan will remain
in force until the end of its performance period on 31 March 2023 in line with the original terms.
The early payment and the change in the forfeiture rate resulted in an EUR 1.1 million additional
expense for 2022 and EUR 0.7 million increase in the plan’s fair value. The rest of the rewards
will be paid in 2023. The plan is equity-settled by nature and while the participants earn a certain
gross amount of reward shares, it can be partially paid in cash to cover the withholding tax conse-
quences. The Board shall resolve whether new Shares or existing Shares held by the Company are
given as reward. The target group of the Plan consists of 20 persons, including the members of
the Management Group.
The investment-based long-term incentive plan 2022-25 includes three performance periods.
The performance period commenced on 1 April 2022 and will end on 31 March 2023, 2024 and
2025, respectively. The participants may earn a performance-based reward from each of the per-
formance periods and a matching reward from the 2022-2025 period. The rewards from the plan
will be paid in 2024, 2025 and 2026. The aim of the plan is to align remuneration with CapMan’s
sustainability agenda, to retain the plan participants in the company’s service, and to offer them
a competitive reward plan based on owning, earning and accumulating the company’s shares. The
prerequisite for receiving reward on the basis of the plan is that a participant acquires company’s
shares or allocates previously owned company’s shares up to the number determined by the Board
of Directors. The performance-based reward from the plan is based on the company share’s Total
Shareholder Return (TSR) and on a participant’s employment or service upon reward payment.
The plan is equity-settled by nature and while the participants earn a certain gross amount of re-
ward shares, it can be partially paid in cash to cover the withholding tax consequences. The Board
shall resolve whether new Shares or existing Shares held by the Company are given as reward.
The target group of the Plan consists of 22 persons, including the members of the Management
Group.
The fair value of the investment-based incentive plans has been measured at the grant date and
is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value has been calculated by
applying a Monte-Carlo simulation, where the model inputs have included share price at the grant
date, expected annualised volatility over the tenure of the program, risk-free interest rate, expected
dividends and expected share rewards to be granted on different target share price levels. The
model simulates share price development during the performance period and the resulting share
rewards to be granted after reaching the share price levels defined in the conditions of the plan.
In addition, lack of marketability due to the lock-up period as well as forfeiture rate have been
incorporated into the measurement of the fair value as decreasing factors.
The total expense recognised for the period arising from share-based payment transactions
amounted to EUR 2.7 million. There were no liabilities arising from share-based payment transac-
tions. As at the balance sheet date, based on the closing price of CapMan’s share, it is estimated
that for the Share plan 2020-2023 and 2022-25, the shares to be withheld and paid in cash to
cover withholding tax liabilities will amount to EUR 2.6 million.

32. Financial risk management
The purpose of financial risk management is to ensure that the Group has adequate and effec-
tively utilised financing as regards the nature and scope of the Group’s business. The objective is
to minimise the impact of negative market development on the Group with consideration for cost
efficiency. The financial risk management has been centralised and the Group’s CFO is responsible
for financial risk management and control.
The management constantly monitors cash flow forecasts and the Group’s liquidity position
on behalf of all Group companies. In addition, the Group’s principles for liquidity management
include rolling 12-month loan covenant assessments. The loan covenants are related to equity ratio
and net gearing. During the financial year all the loan covenants have been fullfilled.
The Group has a Risk and Valuation team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of
the investment portfolio (financial assets entered at fair value through profit or loss) independently
and objectively of the investment teams. The Risk and Valuation team is responsible for reviewing
the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals are examined by
the Risk and Valuation team and subsequently reviewed and decided by the Valuation Committee,
which comprises at least Valuation Controller, Risk Manager and at least one CapMan AIF Manag-
er’s Board of Directors. The portfolio company valuations are reviewed in the Valuation Commit-
tee on a quarterly basis. The valuations are back tested against realised exit valuations, and the
results of such back testing are reported to the Audit Committee annually.
a) Liquidity risk
Cash inflow from operating activities consists of predictable management fees and fees from the
Service Business, as well as transaction-based fees and carried interest income, which are more
difficult to predict. Cash outflow from operating activities consists of payment of fixed costs, in-
terests and taxes, which are relatively well predictable in the short term. Liquidity management is
also significantly impacted by the timing of the capital calls to the funds and proceeds from fund
investments, which is difficult to predict. Therefore, the Group maintains a sufficient liquidity in
order to fulfill its commitments, which are more difficult to predict. Cash from financing activities
consist of proceeds from and repayment of borrowings, and payment of dividends and return of
capital.
Management fees received from the funds and majority of fees from the Service Business are
based on long-term agreements and are targeted to cover the operational expenses of the Group.
Management fees and majority of fees from the Service Business are quite reliably predictable
for the coming 12 months. However, part of of the fees from the Service Business are transac-
tion-based and thus more difficult to forecast.
The timing and receipt of carried interest generated by the funds is uncertain and will contrib-
ute to the volatility of the results. Changes in investment and exit activity levels may have a sig-
nificant impact on cash flows of the Group. A single investment or exit may change the cash flow
situation completely and the exact timing of the cash flow is difficult to predict. Group companies
managing a fund may in certain circumstances, pursuant to the terms of the fund agreement,
have to return carried interest income they have received (so-called clawback). The obligation to re-
turn carried interest income applies typically when, according to the final distribution of funds, the
carried interest income received by the fund management company exceeds the carried interest
it is entitled to when the fund expires. CapMan has no clawback liabilities recorded at the balance
sheet date.
CapMan has made commitments to the funds it manages. As at December 31, 2022, the un-
drawn commitments to the funds amounted to EUR 89.1 million (90.3) and the financing capacity
available (cash available for use and third party financing facilities) amounted to EUR 73.8 million
(83.2). The cash available includes the cash of CapMan Fund Investments SICAV-SIF EUR 0.8
million (0.2) which is reported in fund investments in the group balance sheet.
On April 13, 2022, CapMan issued unsecured sustainability-linked notes in the aggregate
principal amount of EUR 40 million. The notes will mature on April 13, 2027 and carry initially a
fixed annual interest of 4.5%. In conjunction with this, CapMan redemeed the remaining EUR 31.5
million of its notes issued in 2018. These notes carried a fixed annual interest of 4.125% that was
paid semi-annually. CapMan also has unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR
50 million issued in December 2020, which will mature on December 9, 2025 and carry a fixed
annual interest of 4.0% paid annually. Both loan agreements include covenants related to equity
ratio.
At the end of the financial year, CapMan has an unused long-term credit facility of EUR 20
million. CapMan has not used the credit facility during the financial year or the previous year. The
long-term credit facility agreement includes a covenant related to net gearing.

b) Interest rate risk
TAt the end of the financial year, interest-bearing liabilities carry a fixed interest rate. Exposure
to interest rate risk arises principally from the long-term credit facility of EUR 20 million with a
floating interest rate. This facility was not used during the financial year or the previous year. The
interest rate of the credit facility is the aggregate of the reference rate (Euribor) and the margin,
which is dependent on the Group’s net gearing and is in the range of 1.75 % to 2.70 %.
The sustainability-linked senior bond issued in April 2022 carry initially an annual coupon rate
of 4.500% paid annually. Failure to fulfill the agreed sustainability-linked targets by the end of
2023 could increase the interest rate by 0.500 %-points, at maximum, for the remainder of the
loan term.
The senior bond issued in December 2020 carry a coupon rate of 4.000% p.a., which is paid
once a year.

c) Luottoriski
Group’s credit risks relate to trade, loan and other receivables recognised at amortised cost.
The maximum credit loss of these receivables is the carrying amount of the receivable in question.
There are no collaterals relating to the receivables. CapMan has some credit-impaired co-investment
loan receivables from entities controlled by the former or current investment teams. Co-investment
loans are determined to be credit-impaired, if the expected distributions from the underlying fund
would not enable full repayment of the loan to CapMan. Events triggering an evaluation to determine,
if a loan receivable is credit-impaired, are typically decreased or lost carry potential or decreased fair
value of the underlying fund’s remaining investments or fund filing for liquidation. More information
on the expected credit losses of receivables is presented in notes 18 and 20.
Group’s loan commitments are related to co-investment loans granted to team entities, which they
use in order to make co-investments to funds managed by the Group. Apart from credit-impaired
loan receivables, credit risk of loan commitments is deemed low, when the repayment is subject
to distributions received from the fund and the fund is capable of making distributions equaling or
exceeding the needed cash for repaying the loans and accrued interests.
d) Currency risk
Changes in exchange rates, particularly between the US dollar and and the euro, impact the
company’s performance, since a part of group’s fund investments and non-current accounts
receivables are in US dollar. Any strengthening/weakening of the dollar against the euro would im-
prove/weaken the fair value gains or US dollar fund investments and revenue related to US dollar
nominated account receivables.
CapMan has started to hedge its US dollar nominated account receivables against changes in
exchange rates as of December 2022, and therefore, hedging will have a full impact as of 2023.
The group does not, however, apply hedge accounting to the derivative instruments used for hedg-
ing purposes.
The group also has assets in Swedish kronos therefore the changes in exchange rates between
the Swedish krono and the euro has also an impact to Group result.
CapMan has subsidiaries outside of the Eurozone, and their equity is exposed to movements
in foreign currency exchange rates. However, the Group does not hedge currency as the impact of
exposure to currency movements on equity is relatively small.
As at December 31, 2022, 87% of the Group’s financial assets were in euros, 10% in US dol-
lars 2% in Swedish krona and 1% in other currencies. The following table presents the fair values
of the foreign currency denominated financial assets.

e) Capital management
Group’s aim is to have an efficient capital structure that allows the company to manage its ongoing
obligations and that the business has the prerequisites for operating normally. The Return on equi-
ty (ROE) and the Equity ratio are the means for monitoring capital structure.
The long-term targets and dividend policy of the Group have been confirmed by the Board of Di-
rectors of CapMan Plc. The targets are based on profitability (ROE) and balance sheet. The return
on equity target is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average, and target for Equity ratio at least 50%.
The company’s objective is to pay an annually increasing dividend to its shareholders.
At the balance sheet date, CapMan has two unsecured senior bonds outstanding, of which the
sustainability-linked unsecured bond of EUR 40 million, with initially fixed interest rate, will mature
on April 13, 2027 and the other unsecured bond of EUR 50 million, with fixed interest rate, will
mature on December 9, 2025. In addition, CapMan has a long-term credit facility of EUR 20 mil-
lion available until August 5, 2024, which was not in use at the balance sheet date.
The long-term credit facility agreement and senior bond agreeements include financial cove-
nants related to both equity ratio and net gearing.

f) Price risk of the investments in funds
The investments in funds are valued using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valua-
tion Guidelines. According to these guidelines, the fair values are generally derived by multiplying key
performance metrics of the investee company (e.g., EBITDA) by the relevant valuation multiple (e.g.,
price/equity ratio) observed for comparable publicly traded companies or transactions. Changes in
valuation multiples can lead to significant changes in fair values depending on the leverage ratio of
the investee company.

CapMan has made some investments also in funds that are not managed by CapMan Group
companies. The fair values of these investments in CapMan’s balance sheet are primarily based
on the valuations by the respective fund managers. No separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by
CapMan for these investments. However, CapMan evaluates the significant investments individually
and makes adjustments to them if necessary. Separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan
for these adjustments.
The changes in the peer group earnings multiples and the peer group discounts are typically op-
posite to each other. Therefore, if the peer group multiples increase, a higher discount is typically
applied. Because of this, a change in the peer group multiples may not in full be reflected in the
fair values of the fund investments.
The valuations are based on euro. If portfolio company’s reporting currency is other than euro,
P&L items used in the basis of valuation are converted applying the average foreign exchange rate
for corresponding year and the balance sheet items are converted applying the rate at the time of
reporting. Changes in the foreign exchange rates, in CapMan’s estimate, have no significant direct
impact on the fair values calculated by peer group multiples during the reporting period .
The valuation of CapMan funds’ investment is based on international valuation guidelines that
are widely used and accepted within the industry and among investors. CapMan always aims at
valuing funds’ investments at their actual value. Fair value is the best estimate of the price that
would be received by selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date.
Determining the fair value of fund investments for funds investing in portfolio companies is
carried out using International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG).
In estimating fair value for an investment, CapMan applies a technique or techniques that is/are
appropriate in light of the nature, facts, and circumstances of the investment in the context of
the total investment portfolio. In doing this, current market data and several inputs, including the
nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for compa-
rable securities, current and projected operating performance, and the financial situation of the
investment, are evaluated and combined with market participant assumptions. In selecting the
appropriate valuation technique for each particular investment, consideration of those specific
terms of the investment that may impact its fair value is required.
Different methodologies may be considered. The most applied methodologies at CapMan
include available market price for actively traded (quoted) investments, earnings multiple valuation
technique, whereby public peer group multiples are used to estimate the value of a particular
investment, and the Discounted Cash Flows method, whereby estimated future cash flows and
the terminal value are discounted to the present by applying the appropriate risk-adjusted rate.
CapMan always applies a discount to peer group multiples, due to e.g. limited liquidity of the
investments. Due to the qualitative nature of the valuation methodologies, the fair values are to a
considerable degree based on CapMan’s judgment.
The Group has a Risk and Valuation team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of
the investment portfolio (financial assets entered at fair value through profit or loss) independently
and objectively of the investment teams. The Risk and Valuation team is responsible for reviewing
the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals are examined by
the Risk and Valuation team and subsequently reviewed and decided by the Valuation Committee,
which comprises at least Valuation Controller, Risk Manager and at least one CapMan AIF Manag-
er’s Board of Directors. The portfolio company valuations are reviewed in the Valuation Commit-
tee on a quarterly basis. The valuations are back tested against realised exit valuations, and the
results of such back testing are reported to the Audit Committee annually.
Investments in real estate are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent
external experts, who follow International Valuation Standards (IVS). The method most appropriate
to the use of the property is always applied, or a combination of such methods. For the most part,
the valuation methodology applied is the discounted cash flow method, which is based on signifi-
cant unobservable inputs. These inputs include the following:
Future rental cash inflows Based on the actual location, type and quality of
the properties and supported by the terms of any
existing lease, other contracts or external evidence
such as current market rents for similar properties;
Discount rates Reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty
in the amount and timing of cash flows;
Estimated vacancy rates Based on current and expected future market conditions
after expiry of any current lease;
Property operating expenses Including necessary investments to maintain functionality
of the property for its expected useful life;
Capitalisation rates Based on actual location size and quality of the properties
and taking into account market data at the valuation date;
Terminal value Taking into account assumptions regarding maintenance
costs , vacancy rates and market rents.
On 24 February 2022, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine that is the largest conventional
military attack on a sovereign state in Europe since World War II. In response, a large number of
countries (including EU, the US and UK) began applying significant further sanctions on Russia
with the aim of crippling the Russian economy. The conflict itself and the sanctions imposed in
response is estimated to pose a substantial economic risk for the region and internationally. Direct
and indirect impact of the conflict is reflected on the fair values of investee companies in form
of revised earnings and cash flow forecasts. Moreover, management’s judgement is reflected in
investment recorded at fair value in the context of applying the discount rate to valuations based
on peer group multiples.

Basis of preparation for parent company financial
statements
CapMan Plc’s financial statements for 2021 have been pre-
pared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies have been recorded at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are
recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the closing date
of the review period.
Investments
Investments are valued at acquisition cost. If the probable fu-
ture income from the investment is permanently lower than the
value at acquisition cost excluding depreciation, the difference
is recognised as an expense.
Intangible and tangible assets
Intangible and tangible assets are valued at cost less accu-
mulated depreciation and amortisation according to the plan,
except for assets having an indefinite useful life.
Receivables
Receivables comprise receivables from Group companies and
associated companies, trade receivables, accrued income and
other receivables. Receivables are recorded at nominal value,
however no higher than at probable value. Receivables are clas-
sified as non-current assets if the maturity exceeds 12 months.
Financial risk management and derivative instruments
The financial risk management of CapMan Group is central-
ised with the parent company. The financial risk management
principles are provided in the Notes to the Group financial
statements under 32. Financial risk management.
CapMan Plc uses derivative instruments, such as foreign
exchange forwards, to hedge against currency changes incurred
to its certain and significant foreign currency denominated
trade receivables. Derivative instruments are measured at the
lower of their cost or market value.
Non-current liabilities
Senior bonds maturing later than one year after the balance
sheet date are recorded as non-current liabilities at nominal
value.
Current liabilities
Bonds maturing within one year are presented as current liabil-
ities and measured at their nominal value. Derivative liabilities
are measured at fair value.
Leases
Lease payments are recognised as other expenses. The remain-
ing commitments under each lease are provided in the Notes
section under “Commitments”.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised as expenses in case the parent
company has an obligation that will not result in comparable
income or losses that are deemed apparent.
Pensions
Statutory pension expenditures are recognised as expenses
at the year of accrual. Pensions have been arranged through
insurance policies of external pension institutions.
Revenue
Revenue includes the sale of services to subsidiaries and
revenue from the sale of securities, dividends and other similar
income from securities classified as inventories. Revenue from
services is recognised, when the service is delivered.
Income taxes
Income taxes are recognised based on Finnish tax law. Deferred
taxes are calculated on temporary differences between the
carrying amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes have been
measured at the statutory tax rates that have been enacted
by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the
related deferred tax is realised.
Appropriations
Appropriations in the income statement consist of possible giv-
en and received group contributions and possible depreciation
in excess of plan, and in the balance sheet, possible accumu-
lated depreciation in excess of plan.

view of the group’s financial position as well as its financial
performance and its cash flows in accordance with Interna-
tional Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the EU.
•
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the par-
ent company’s financial performance and financial position
in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the
preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply
with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted
to the Audit Committee.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing
practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing
practice are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities
for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the parent company and of the group
companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are
applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit
services that we have provided to the parent company and
group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations
applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not
provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article
5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that
we have provided have been disclosed in note 7 to the consoli-
dated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi-
cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the finan-
cial statements of the current period. These matters were ad-
dressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report, including in relation to these matters.
Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures
designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our
audit procedures, including the procedures performed to ad-
dress the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion
on the accompanying financial statements.
We have also addressed the risk of management override of
internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there
was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of
material misstatement due to fraud.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed
the Key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition
We refer to the accounting policies in
the financial statements and the Note 3.
CapMan’s turnover in consolidated group
accounts amounted to 67,5 million euros.
It consists of management fees, sale of
services and carried interest income.
The timing of revenue recognition can be
judgmental as revenue may be recognized
either over time or at the point in time de-
pending on the circumstances and provided
services. The assessment of recognized
revenue includes management assumptions
and estimates.
Revenue recognition was determined to be
a key audit matter and a significant risk of
material misstatement referred to in EU
Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article
10(2) in respect of its timely recognition
and at a proper amount.
Our audit procedures to address the risk
of material misstatement included, among
other things, assessing that the revenue
recognition principles comply to applicable
accounting standards. We also identified
and tested key controls relating to revenue
recognition.
We examined sales cutoff with analytical
procedures. We supplemented our proce-
dures with test of details on a transaction
level on a random basis in order to ensure
that the revenue has been recognized in a
correct accounting period and it’s based on
the corresponding agreements.
In addition, we assessed the adequacy of
disclosures relating to the fee and commis-
sion income of the group.

the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of non-liquid investments
We refer to the accounting policies in the
financial statements and the Notes 17 and 32.
The Group’s investment portfolio
31.12.2022 amounts to 169,1 million
euros. The investment portfolio includes
mainly investments to funds managed by
CapMan group companies. Determination
of the fair value of funds and direct invest-
ments to portfolio companies is executed
using International Private Equity and Ven-
ture Capital valuation guidelines (IPEV) and
IFRS and the fair values are based on esti-
mated cash-flows or peer-group multiples.
Fair value measurement includes subjective
estimations by management, specifically in
areas where fair value is based on a model-
based valuation. Valuation techniques for
private equity funds involve setting various
assumptions regarding pricing factors.
The use of different valuation techniques
and assumptions could lead to different
estimates of fair value.
Valuation of non-liquid investments was
determined to be a key audit matter and a
significant risk of material misstatement
referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014
point (c) of Article 10(2).
Our audit procedures to address the risk of
material misstatement relating to valuation
of non-liquid investments included, among
others, identifying and testing the controls
in place over recording fair values of non-liq-
uid investment.
We performed additional procedures for ar-
eas of higher risk and estimation, involving
our valuation specialists.
Our audit procedures included:
•
Developing an understanding of the
private equity and real estate portfolios.
•
Reviewing the price of recent transactions
and investments.
•
Assessing assumptions used in the valua-
tions and obtaining an understanding that
the valuation appropriately reflects the
risks of the portfolios.
•
Comparing the assumptions against
established policies and determining if
they have been applied appropriately.
•
Reviewing and assessing the valuations
determined by CapMan or other party.
•
Assessing whether the International
Private Equity and Venture Capital Valua-
tion Guidelines and valuation methodology
of IFRS have been applied correctly.
In addition, we assessed the adequacy
of disclosures relating to the non-liquid
investments.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the
Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are respon-
sible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements
that give a true and fair view in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU,
and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with the laws and regulations governing the prepa-
ration of financial statements in Finland and comply with stat-
utory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing
Director are also responsible for such internal control as they
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors
and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the
parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The
financial statements are prepared using the going concern
basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the
parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether
the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assur-
ance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing
practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a ma-
terial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
•
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company’s or the
group’s internal control.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed
the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of goodwill
We refer to the accounting policies in the
financial statements and the Notes 15 and 13.
At the balance sheet date 31 December 2022, the
value of goodwill amounted to 12,7 million euros
representing 5 % of the total assets and 9 % of
the total equity. At 31 December 2022, 4,8 million
euros of the goodwill is presented as part of
Assets held for sale. During financial year 2022,
an impairment amounting to 2,6 million euros has
been recognized.
The valuation of goodwill is based on management’s
estimate about the value-in-use calculations of the
cash generating units. There are number of under-
lying assumptions used to determine the value-
in-use, including the revenue growth, EBITDA and
discount rate applied on net cash-flows.
Estimated value-in-use may vary significantly when
the underlying assumptions are changed and the
changes in above-mentioned individual assump-
tions may result in an impairment of goodwill.
Valuation of goodwill was determined to be a key
audit matter because the assessment process is
judgmental, it is based on assumptions relating
to market or economic conditions extending to
the future, and because of the significance of the
goodwill to the financial statements.
Our audit procedures regarding the valuation
of goodwill included involving EY valuation
specialists to assist us in evaluating methodol-
ogies, impairment calculations and underlying
assumptions applied by the management in
the impairment testing.
In evaluation of methodologies, we compared
the principles applied by the management in the
impairment tests to the requirements set in IAS
36 Impairment of assets standard and ensured
the mathematical accuracy of the impairment
calculations.
We assessed the historical accuracy of man-
agements’ estimations and compared the key
assumptions applied by the management in
impairment tests to
•
budgets and long-term forecasts,
•
information available in external sources, as
well as
•
our independently calculated industry averages
such as weighted average cost of capital used
in discounting the cashflows.
We also assessed the sufficiency of the disclo-
sures as well as whether the disclosures about
the sensitivity of the impairment assessment are
appropriate.

•
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
•
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’
and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, wheth-
er a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s
or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclo-
sures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
•
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair
view.
•
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the fi-
nancial information of the entities or business activities within
the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the group audit. We remain solely respon-
sible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regard-
ing, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical require-
ments regarding independence and communicate with them
all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be
thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most sig-
nificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in ex-
tremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse conse-
quences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Reporting Requirements
Information on our audit engagement
We were appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting
on March 14, 2018 and our appointment represents a total
period of uninterrupted engagement of five years.
Other information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are respon-
sible for the other information. The other information compris-
es the report of the Board of Directors and the information
included in the Annual report but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. We have obtained
the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made
available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the
other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. With respect to report of the Board of
Directors, our responsibility also includes considering wheth-
er the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in
accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board
of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial
statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been
prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s
report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor’s Report on CapMan Oyj’s ESEF-Consolidated
Financial Statements (Translation of the Finnish original)
To the Board of Directors of CapMan Oyj
We have performed a reasonable assurance engagement on
the iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements
included in the digital files CapManPlc-2022-12-31-fi.zip of
CapMan Oyj for the financial year 1.1.-31.12.2022 to ensure
that the financial statements are marked/tagged with iXBRL in
accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of EU Commis-
sion Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815 (ESEF RTS).
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors
and Managing Director
The Board of Directors and Managing Director are responsible
for the preparation of the Report of Board of Directors and
financial statements (ESEF financial statements) that comply
with the ESESF RTS. This responsibility includes:
•
preparation of ESEF-financial statements in accordance with
Article 3 of ESEF RTS
•
tagging the consolidated financial statements included
within the ESEF- financial statements by using the iXBRL
mark ups in accordance with Article 4 of ESEF RTS
•
ensuring consistency between ESEF financial statements and
audited financial statements
The Board of Directors and Managing Director are also respon-
sible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of ESEF financial statements in accord-
ance with the requirements of ESEF RTS.
Auditor’s Independence and Quality
Control
We are independent of the company in accordance with the
ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are
relevant to the engagement we have performed, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements.
The auditor applies International Standard on Quality Con-
trol (ISQC) 1 and therefore maintains a comprehensive quality
control system including documented policies and procedures
regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional
standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
In accordance with the Engagement Letter we will express an
opinion on whether the electronic tagging of the consolidated
financial statements complies in all material respects with the
Article 4 of ESEF RTS. We have conducted a reasonable assur-
ance engagement in accordance with International Standard on
Assurance Engagements ISAE 3000.
The engagement includes procedures to obtain evidence on:
•
whether the tagging of the primary financial statements in
the consolidated financial statements complies in all materi-
al respects with Article 4 of the ESEF RTS
•
whether the tagging of the notes to the financial statements
and the entity identifier information in the consolidated
financial statements complies in all material respects with
Article 4 of the ESEF RTS
•
whether the ESEF-financial statements are consistent with
the audited financial statements
The nature, timing and extent of the procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgement including the assessment
of risk of material departures from requirements sets out in
the ESEF RTS, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our statement.
Opinion
In our opinion the tagging of the consolidated financial
statement included in the ESEF financial statement of CapMan
Oyj for the year ended 31.12.2022 complies in all material
respects with the requirements of ESEF RTS.
Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements
of CapMan Oyj for the year ended 31.12.2022 is included
in our Independent Auditor’s Report dated 1.2.2023. In this
report, we do not express an audit opinion any other assurance
on the consolidated financial statements.
