Essity has received a demand for early repayment of bonds

Essity has received a demand for early payment from a few bondholders regarding bonds maturing in 2029, 2030 and 2031. Essity disputes the demand.  

The demand refers to a minority part of the total amount of the bonds with these maturing dates. These bondholders claim that an Event of Default has occurred under the terms.
