Bong AB: Bong reports outcome of rights issue and resolves on issuance of compensation shares to guarantor

Bong AB ("Bong" or the "Company"), one of the leading specialty packaging and envelope companies in Europe offering solutions for distribution and packaging of information, promotional offers and lightweight goods, today announces the final outcome of the new share issue with preferential rights for shareholders (the "Rights Issue") resolved by the board of directors on 22 June 2026. The Rights Issue was subscribed to approximately 66 per cent with the support of subscription rights and to approximately 35 per cent without the support of subscription rights.

Bong has today also resolved on a new share issue of an additional 7,710,397 shares to the Guarantor as compensation for the guarantee undertaking.

The Rights Issue

The subscription period for the Rights Issue expired on 17 July 2026 and the final compilation shows that 139,706,865 shares, corresponding to approximately 66 per cent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed with the support of subscription rights and 73,512,744 shares were subscribed without the support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 35 per cent of the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue was thus subscribed to approximately 101 per cent. Of the total subscription proceeds of approximately SEK 63.4 million, payment was made by way of set-off in the amount of SEK 9,090,000.

Bong thereby receives approximately SEK 63.4 million before issue costs, in cash and through set-off of liabilities.

Notification of allotment of shares subscribed without the support of subscription rights will shortly be sent to those who have been allotted shares by way of settlement note. Nominee-registered shareholders will receive notification of allotment in accordance with the procedures of the respective nominee.

Issuance of compensation shares

The Guarantor receives compensation for its guarantee undertaking in the amount of six per cent of the guaranteed amount, however the compensation is paid in the form of newly issued shares, corresponding to 7,710,397 shares (the "Compensation Shares"). The board of directors of Bong has today resolved on a directed new share issue to the Guarantor of 7,710,397 Compensation Shares at a subscription price of SEK 0.30 per share, which is set off against the claim for guarantee compensation.
