Rights issue fully subscribed

The preliminary results of Haldex AB’s rights issue indicate that approximately 21.6 million shares, representing approximately 98.7 percent of the offered shares, were subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights. Additionally, approximately 27.0 million shares were subscribed for without preferential rights and, thus, the rights issue is fully subscribed. Through the rights issue Haldex will receive proceeds amounting to 504 MSEK before transaction costs. “I am very pleased with the preliminary outcome of the rights issue as it confirms the strong support from our shareholders. The proceeds from the rights issue will give Haldex the financial and strategic flexibility required to capture business opportunities and face the challenges that may arise in the current market situation”, says Joakim Olsson, CEO and president of Haldex AB. Those who have subscribed for shares without preferential rights will be allotted shares according to the principles outlined in the prospectus. Such subscribers who have been allotted shares are expected to be notified on or around December 23, 2009. Only those who are allotted shares will be notified. Through the rights issue Haldex’s share capital increases by SEK 109,598,750 to SEK 221,079,850. The number of shares increases by 21,919,750 to 44,215,970. The final day for trading in paid subscribed shares (BTAs) is expected to be December 23, 2009. New shares subscribed for with preferential rights are expected to start trading on NASDAQ OMX on December 29, 2009. Trading in shares subscribed without preferential rights is expected to start on January 12, 2010.
