In total, 1,449,203 Warrants, corresponding to approximately 4.0 percent of all outstanding Warrants (being approximately 3.1 percent of all Warrants issued as part of the rights issue), were used to subscribe for the same number of new ordinary shares in the Company. Payment for the new ordinary shares has been made in cash with a total amount of approximately SEK 6.6 million and by set-off of the Company’s hybrid capital securities (“Capital Securities”) to a total amount of approximately SEK 20.8 million.
Exercise of Warrants

The subscription price for each share was SEK 18.90.
124,783 subscribed shares have been paid exclusively in cash, and 1,324,420 were paid by set-off and in cash. Holders who paid for their shares by set-off had to pay an additional cash amount to cover remaining parts of the subscription price (i.e., to the extent the subscription price has exceeded the nominal amount of the Capital Securities used for set-off), meaning that the Company will receive approximately SEK 6.6 million in total cash before issue costs. In total, 207,527 Capital Securities (each with a nominal amount of SEK 100) were used to subscribe for the 1,324,420 shares paid by set-off, meaning that a total nominal amount of SEK 20,752,700 of the Company’s Capital Securities has been used for set-off purposes.
The total outstanding nominal amount of the Capital Securities will be reduced from SEK 575,579,700 to SEK 554,827,000 through a cancellation of the Capital Securities used for the aforementioned set-off in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Capital Securities.
