*	The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required in the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).


CUSIP NO. 67421J108		13G/A

(1)

Consists of 271,763,953 ordinary shares and 9.25% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (“Convertible Notes”), of which a portion are convertible into an aggregate maximum of 11,885,100 ordinary shares within 60 days of the date hereof, based on approximately 594,255,000 ordinary shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023, as stated in the Form 6-K filed by Oatly Group AB with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2023 (the “Form 6-K”). Of the total number of Convertible Notes respectively owned by Nativus Company Limited (“Nativus”) and Verlinvest S.A. (“Verlinvest”), only that number of Convertible Notes that would result in an increase in the aggregate beneficial ownership of Nativus and Verlinvest of 2% or less of Oatly Group AB’s outstanding shares (or up to approximately 11,885,100 shares) are convertible immediately. As of December 31, 2023, assuming no conversion of any Convertible Notes held by Verlinvest, the remaining Convertible Notes held by Nativus that are not convertible on the date hereof would be convertible into an additional approximately 54 million ordinary shares upon giving more than 60 days’ notice to Oatly Group AB (and based on the initial conversion price under the terms of the Convertible Notes). If Verlinvest converts any Convertible Notes held by it, the number of shares over which Nativus has sole voting and dispositive power and the aggregate amount beneficially owned by Nativus would decrease accordingly on a share-for-share basis.

(2)	Based on approximately 594,255,000 ordinary shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023, as stated in the Form 6-K, plus 11,885,100 ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Notes within 60 days of the date hereof.
