Objection to Agrokultura’s announced share issue has been rejected

In light of the planned but not adopted private share issue announced through a press release on 28 July 2014 by the board of Agrokultura, the company’s new major shareholder Steenord Corp, British Virgin Islands, has written an objection through a Swedish lawyer and submitted it to the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Steenord Corp has thereby claimed that such a share issue would not be in accordance with the resolution taken by the Annual General Meeting regarding the mandate given to the board of directors to issue shares and would therefore be invalid.

Therefore, the board of Agrokultura has obtained a legal opinion from Professor Erik Nerep. The legal opinion confirms the assessment of the board that the planned private share issue unreservedly is in accordance with the mandate given by the Annual General Meeting and thus will be valid. The legal opinion in its entirety will be submitted by Agrokultura to the Swedish Companies Registration Office and to those who have a cause to see it.
