requirements, it will record a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> impairment charge of SEK 32&nbsp;billion in the third quarter of 2023. The impairment charge represents 50% of the total amount of goodwill and other intangible assets
attributed to Vonage. The impairment will be reported in segment Enterprise as an item affecting comparability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The impairment is a consequence of the
significant drop in the market capitalization of Vonage&#146;s publicly traded peers, increased interest rates and overall slowdown in Vonage&#146;s core markets. Ericsson continues to advance its enterprise strategy, with Vonage&#146;s network API
capabilities being central to this strategy and the development of a Global Network Platform (GNP). The impairment does not alter Ericsson&#146;s positive outlook on the GNP market potential. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Vonage remains key to Ericsson&#146;s strategy to expand in Enterprise. The Enterprise strategy is underpinned by the development in the third quarter in
which Ericsson announced an important milestone with a major commercial partnership in its GNP business. The development of GNP is creating a new market for exposing 5G capabilities through network APIs and the market opportunity is estimated at USD
20&nbsp;billion by 2028 by telecom consultancy and research firm STL Partners. This market will open up new ways for operators to monetize their investments in networks from enterprises and in turn drive further investments in mobile infrastructure.
Ericsson expects the first revenues from network APIs during 2023. </P>
