Through the Rights Issue, Elos Medtech will receive approximately SEK 4,337 million before deductions for issue costs.
Stefano Alfonsi, CEO of Elos Medtech, comments:
"We are pleased that the rights issue has now been completed, which together with previously obtained regulatory approvals means that we are well placed to finalize the acquisition of Klingel. I very much look forward to soon welcoming our new colleagues, and to working together to increase our geographical reach with a strengthened offering to our customers, and taking the next step on our joint journey."
The final outcome shows that 16,502,230 shares, corresponding to approximately 81.8 percent of the offered shares in the Rights Issue, have been subscribed for with subscription rights, and 278 shares have been subscribed for without subscription rights.
