The board resolution approved by the extraordinary general meeting mainly means an issue of A shares and B shares up to approximately SEK 120 million before transaction related expenses, with preferential rights for the shareholders of the company to subscribe for new shares in proportion to their previous shareholding. Each A share and B share held on the record date entitles the shareholder to receive one subscription right of series A and series B, respectively. Each subscription right of series A entitles its holder to subscribe for one new A share and each subscription right of series B entitles its holder to subscribe for one new B share. The record date to determine the shareholders being entitled to subscribe for new shares with preferential rights (i.e. to receive subscription rights) shall be 23 February 2017. The share capital of the company may increase by a maximum of SEK 4,788 991.50 by means of an new issue of up to 3,400,871 A shares and up to 12,548,933 B shares, i.e. a total of up to 15,949,804 new shares.

The subscription period is expected to run from and including 27 February 2017 until an including 9 March 2017. The subscription price is SEK 7.50 per share (both A shares and B shares).

If not all shares in the rights issue are subscribed for with support of subscription rights (primary preferential right), the Board of Directors will resolve on the allocation of new A shares and B shares subscribed for without subscription rights in accordance with the allocation principles set forth in the Board of Directors’ resolution on the rights issue.
