DISCUSSIONS WITH NEW FINANCIER BROKEN OFF

In the light of an industrial investor having registered an interest, under certain circumstances, in becoming the new principal owner of Rottneros, the company – in dialogue with its creditors – has drawn up a proposal for a new financial structure. The proposed structure has not been accepted and the discussions with the projected investor have been broken off. The company’s discussions with its principal owner and the creditors are continuing, with a view to reaching agreement on a new financial structure. A preferential rights issue for shareholders is an important component of such an agreement.
