We expect to be able to repay the investment over a five-year plan. An investment in MonthlyCup is expected to yield a good return in the long term and should not be seen as a short-term investment.

You log on to monthlycup.com/partners website and buy the shares directly through our website. Payment is made immediately.

The shares will not be admitted to trading on any regulated market or MTF. However, you can always transfer or sell your shares on your own initiative to a person or company that wants to buy them. However, with the reservations contained in the Articles of Association found in the memorandum.

One B share entitles the holder to one vote at the AGM - so, yes, you will be given the right to vote.

The company expects initially, to not make any profits. Within 5 years we expect the return to increase and that the investment will be repaid. Initially, because we will incur high costs in connection with our expansion. Overall, the company's profits will be distributed evenly to shareholders in the form of dividends. In addition, the shares are worth the price someone is willing to pay for them - if the company makes a goos profit, the willingness to pay more if someone wants to buy your shares, increases.

All shares are available in the company's share register. The share book is according to Swedish law a public document that anyone can access. The shareholders' book shows who owns each share. Thereafter, contact can be made on its own initiative to other shareholders to show such interest. This can not happen before the share issue is completed. When that happens, one has to take into consideration the company's current Articles of Association with reservation for such transfers.

No - ONE physical or legal person owns the shares that are bought. If you'll want to buy shares with someone, you'll have to do it in turns, indicating different owners at each purchase.

Yes. For example, you can represent your children or a company when buying shares. Be sure to indicate who the owner is of such purchase. Any transfers made after the purchase - at a later date - can only be transferred in accordance with the Articles of Association, found in the memorandum.

Our payment methods will be clearly specified on the website. Payment is made immediately in connection with purchase.

Ownership in the MonthlyCup Group is based on the amount of capital that is attributable through the share issue. If this share issue is only subscribed to 50%, the relationship in ownership between MonthlyCup Partners AB (publ) and MonthlyCup AB will also be affected in accordance to that.

In an unlisted company that has never previously acquired external capital it is extremely difficult to put an exact value of the company. To leave 16,07 % (whereof 10 % from this share issue) in the MonthlyCup Group correlated to about 17 MSEK was something that our Board and external advisors discussed for a very long time.

The company is valued on the expected growth of the menstrual cup market for the next five years - including MonthlyCup's growth. We have a budgeted turnover for 2024 of 224 MSEK, which would amount to one million orders that year - just for us - worldwide. Given that there are (roughly estimated) 2 billion of menstruating women, that would only be one promille of the world market.

Our focus is not primarily on taking market shares from other menstrual cup corporations - but rather to be growing together with them. This is a great product that still is unknown to a majority of the global audience. Our focus lies on creating knowledge about menstrual cups, and then, to get those who are using traditional menstrual protections to make the switch to menstrual cups. Why we think that we are the best supplier of menstrual cups and why menstrual cups is better than traditional protections, you can read more about in our memorandum, which can be found on the Partners pages.

a) What makes us unique is that we have become really good at social media. I think nobody (female, of childbearing age, in Sweden) has missed our ads on Facebook. Only during July 2017 - June 2018 we had 20,7 million exposures on Facebook alone. Close cooperation with your own contact person at Facebook's office in Stockholm as well as in Ireland has made a significant contribution.

b) We own several major domains all over the world that are relevant to menstrual cups and, we have also become extremely good at our search engine optimization - only in Sweden there is a constant battle for the first place (it changes from week to week as we share it with a competitor).

No, the Group itself plans no stock market launch in the foreseeable future. Regarding MonthlyCup Partners AB (publ), where the investment takes place, we will not have any influence after the first AGM has taken place. After that, it's up to the shareholders (those who invest during the crowdfunding) to decide what influence they would want in the company.

No, you can only do that in listed companies. We are an unlisted company that is not traded through an open market. This is mainly due to the fact that the cost of complying with the legal requirements of such a company is not proportional to the company's current size.

We are a public but unlisted company. This means that we can – publicly – announce about the sale of shares, but we can and will not trade the shares on an open trading platform. The initial reason for this is that the costs of complying with the legal requirements would exceed the value of the services in such a relatively small company.

However, anyone may sell their shares freely to anyone who want to buy their shares. The same principles apply as if dealing with any other sales item. However, there is a duty of notification in which the board must approve the transfer and the transfer must follow the company's Articles of Association.

You can never loose more than you have invested, even if the company's development does not go as planned. Nor can you ever be forced into making further investments in the future. However, you may be entitled to subscribe for new shares before others in the case of a new issue, as stated in the Articles of Association.

No, you will only be paying for the share price. However, there are costs for, for example, card transactions, but these costs are charged to MonthlyCup Partners AB (publ) and are included in the costs of the share issue.

At full coverage of the share issue, you will be entitled to share the 16,07 % of the company's earnings, if a dividend is made. And when you no longer want to own the stock you can transfer it to someone who's willing to buy them - you both have to agree regarding the share price.

The share issue is only ongoing for a limited time. During that time one share is worth SEK 150 (approximately 15 EUR). After that time, one share is worth the agreed price between buyer and seller. Suppose that you own 6 shares that you bought for SEK 900 - and that your neighbour also want to own shares. Then you and your neighbour can agree that if you sell 5 of your shares for SEK 500 a piece, you will receive SEK 2,500 for 5 shares. One share is always worth what a buyer and seller agrees upon.

Such a transfer must be approved by the Board and shall comply with the Articles of Association.

According to GDPR, we are obliged to always offer the opportunity through a link at the end of each SMS/email. If you have a problem with your cancellation, please contact our customer support and we will assist you.

1. In connection with payment, you will receive a text message confirming that we have received your interest.
2. Then we need to review your interest so that there is nothing that could affect your ability to invest (for example, if you pay taxes in the United States - you can not invest with us).
3. After reviewing this (it will take a couple of days), you will receive a confirmation of the email you provided in connection with the investment.
4. When the shares are registered with the Swedish Companies Agency, you will finally receive a settlement note. Meanwhile, the confirmation under No. 3 applies as accounting documents (if necessary).

One share is proof of ownership in a joint stock company. The more shares you have the greater the part you own in the company. One share is a value transaction and is therefore nothing you will be able to do physically - but instead you get the opportunity to share a company's profit. In addition, you get influence over the company's board (in relation to how many shares you own) - and the board in turn determines how the CEO is to lead the daily work (management directive/owner's directive).

You will thus be able to prove that you own a stake in the company, you may participate in and decide at general meetings (usually on an annual basis), you can participate in any profit and you may sell or transfer your share to another (if you follow the set rules for such a transfer).

+ You will recieve a 20% discount on all products in our webshop for a full year - the discount code will be handed out when the shares are registered at the Swedish Companies Agency.

More benefits are found in our memorandum on the partners pages.
