Preliminary outcome of the Rights Issue

The preliminary outcome indicates that a total of 68,353,782 shares were subscribed for with and without subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 64.1 percent of the Rights Issue. 64,341,216 shares were subscribed for with subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 60.4 percent of the Rights Issue. In addition, subscription applications for 4,012,566 shares, corresponding to approximately 3.7 percent of the Rights Issue, were received without subscription rights. The previously communicated minimum subscription level of 42,633,254 shares for completion of the Rights Issue has thus been reached. This means that underwriting commitments will be utilized for a preliminary amount of 18,279,472 shares, corresponding to approximately 5.5 MSEK and approximately 17.2 percent of the Rights Issue. The preliminary total subscription therefore amounts to 86,633,254 shares, corresponding to approximately 81.3 percent of the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue is thus expected to provide the Company with gross proceeds of approximately 26.0 MSEK before issue-related costs.
