The subscription period for Eniro AB’s (publ) rights issue ended on December 17, 2010. The preliminary results show that approximately 79 percent of the offered shares were subscribed for by way of subscription rights. Furthermore, around1.7 percent of the offered shares will be allotted to persons that have applied for subscription of shares without subscription rights. Approximately 20 percent of the offered shares will be allocated to the sub-underwriters through re-allocation from the consortium of underwriting banks which has committed to underwrite the entire rights issue. This means that the rights issue of approximately SEK 2.5 billion (before issue-related costs) will be fully subscribed.
“We are delighted for the support we have received from Eniro’s shareholders. The strengthening of our balance sheet secures a long-term sustainable financial structure, decreases our financial risk and allows us to focus on continued business development to be everyone’s first choice in local search.” says Eniro’s Chairman of the Board, Lars Berg.
Under the terms of the rights issue, one share entitled the shareholder to receive one subscription right. One subscription right entitled its holder to subscribe for 30 new shares at a subscription price of SEK 0.52 per share. Through the rights issue the total number of shares outstanding will increase by 4,847,455,170 shares to 5,009,037,009 shares, and Eniro’s share capital by SEK 2,423,727,585 to SEK 2,504,518,504.50.
The shares that have been subscribed for without subscription rights will be allocated according to principles described in the prospectus published on December 1, 2010. Contract notes confirming the allotment of such shares are expected to be distributed on December 27, 2010.
