Correction of FI’s insider register today at 3 p.m. CET
Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments as follows:
“In view of the media discussion that has been under way for some time and in order to facilitate transparency for current and forthcoming investors, I have earlier made the active decision to report my previous purchases of FPC shares to the insider register of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FI) regardless of whether the shares are held via direct ownership, occupational pension or any other alternative form of ownership. FI has indicated, despite a proposal concerning a forthcoming legal amendment, that what I have done is formally wrong and they will therefore correct my holding in the insider register effective 3 p.m. CET today. However, my holding continues to amount to the 810,247 Class B shares that I have previously reported to FI. In addition to the Class B shares, I also own 670,400 Class A shares via Sunfloro AB and 2,808,000 warrants with exercise in 2014 and 2015.
