Significant events during and after the end of the quarter
- The final outcome of the fully guaranteed rights issue was announced during the quarter.
- FSN Capital divested its holding in the company, resulting in changes to the ownership structure. Following the transaction, Cervantes Capital became Kjell Group’s largest shareholder.
- During the quarter, Kjell Group held its Annual General Meeting. Among other resolutions, it was decided that the Board of Directors would comprise five members. Jan Friedman and Ola Burmark were re-elected, and David Zaudy, Ebba Ljungerud and Adeline Sterner were elected as new Board members.
“The second quarter was characterised by significant but temporary fluctuations in working capital, alongside challenges in online sales within our Danish subsidiary, AV-Cables. In close collaboration with the Board, we have accelerated our action programme to support the Group’s long-term objectives.”, says Andreas Rylander, CEO Kjell Group.
