Report this content

The application period for subscription of Eniro AB's (publ) directed issue of preference shares has expired. The share issue, amounting to SEK 400 M, has been fully subscribed. In total, subscription applications in excess of SEK 700 M were submitted.

As previously stated, the reason for the issue is to finance the early repayment in full, at a discount, to one of the lenders in the bank consortium with which the company has a loan agreement. By financing the repayment of existing debt at a discount through the issue of preference shares Eniro reduces its leverage while also strengthening the company’s cash flow, earnings and key figures.
