EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – 
Proposal 1 — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, SEP Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SEPA”), and SEP Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEPA (“Merger Sub”), for the purposes set forth in the Merger Agreement (all of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuances of securities thereunder, are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination”), and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity of the Business Combination and becoming a subsidiary of SEPA (the “Business Combination Proposal”).
For: 798,379,869
Against; 5,221,765
Abstain: 71,525
Broker Non-Votes: 0
Proposal 2 — To adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if it is determined by the Company’s board of directors that more time is necessary or appropriate to approve the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting.
For: 797,802,452
Against; 5,792,907
Abstain: 77,800
Broker Non-Votes: 0
Both proposals were approved, each receiving the affirmative requisite vote of the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock. Although Proposal 2 was approved, the adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies was not necessary because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt Proposal 1.
Each proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on January 22, 2024.
“We are pleased to have achieved this important milestone,” said SANUWAVE CEO Morgan Frank. “We’re especially pleased to have done so with such resounding stockholder support. We’re now working to finalize the exchange listing and SEC filings and look forward to providing further updates soon. Thank you for all of your support.”

This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s and SEPA’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement; the timing of the closing of the Business Combination; and expected results for the combined company. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the control of the Company and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the inability to consummate the Business Combination, including due to conditions to the closing in the Merger Agreement, such as the requirement that SEPA shall have at least $12.0 million at closing resulting from proceeds of (a) SEPA’s Class A common stock that has not been redeemed and (b) a private placement; (3) delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the Business Combination; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of SEPA’s securities on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; (5) costs related to the Business Combination; (6) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (7) the possibility that the Company or SEPA may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (8) other risks and uncertainties identified in the proxy statement of the Company and the proxy statement/prospectus of SEPA relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by the Company and SEPA. The Company and SEPA caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither the Company nor SEPA undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law.
