  • On 25 February, Dannemora asked bondholders in the Company's USD 120 million bond issue to grant a waiver from the bond agreement's two covenants. This is also a condition for the rights issue of SEK 211 million before issue expenses, which Dannemora's Board adopted subject to approval by an EGM to be held on 13 March.
  • At today's meeting at Norsk Tillitsmann in Oslo, the bondholders decided to accept Dannemora's waiver of covenant request.
