Hence, based on the preliminary outcome, a guarantee commitment of approximately 3 per cent of the Rights Issue will be utilized. The Rights Issue will provide the Company with proceeds of approximately SEK 99 million before deduction of costs related to the Rights Issue.

The preliminary outcome indicates that 1,582,644,306 shares, corresponding to approximately 80 per cent of the Rights Issue, have been subscribed for with the support of subscription rights in the Rights Issue. Additionally, applications for subscription of 342,633,642 shares without the support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 17 per cent of the Rights Issue, have been received.

Soltech will receive approximately SEK 99 million, of which approximately SEK 20 million will be received through set-off of claims under the bridge loan provided by Artim Balance BidCo AB, before deduction of transaction costs, which are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 2 million. The transaction costs do not include the guarantee fee payable to Artim Balance BidCo AB in the form of 125,968,200 newly issued shares in Soltech (the “Compensation Issue”). Through the Rights Issue, Soltech’s share capital will increase by SEK 99,209,544.50, from SEK 66,139,696.35 to SEK 165,349,240.85, through the issue of 1,984,190,890 new shares.
