Bure accepts Framfab's offer

Bure accepts Framfab's offer Investment AB Bure has today decided to accept Framfab's offer to the shareholders of Guide Konsult AB to subscribe three shares in Framfab for every 10 shares in Guide. "At the time of Framfab's offer, Bure's holding in Guide had a value of approximately SEK 400M. Since then, the price development in Guide has been very positive. The rapid price development has meant that the Guide share has been given an unproportionate weight in Bure's portfolio and we have therefore elected to sell part of our holding. In the current year we have therefore sold 868,000 shares with a total capital gain of SEK 344M. The Guide shares, which Bure intends to exchange for Framfab shares, will be equivalent to an ownership of 3 per cent in Framfab. The market value of this holding amounted to SEK 771M at yesterday's share price," says Roger Holtback President and CEO of Investment AB Bure.
