The solicitation procedure is a further step to enable for a distribution by Hemfosa of the shares in Nyfosa during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Hemfosa has requested that Nordic Trustee & Agency AB (publ), acting in its capacity as agent (the “Agent”) for the holder of Bonds, initiates a written procedure in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

Provided that the Proposal is approved by a sufficient quorum and majority and that the shareholders of Hemfosa resolve at an extraordinary general meeting of Hemfosa to distribute the shares in Nyfosa to the holders of ordinary shares in Hemfosa, each holder of Bonds will obtain a base fee, which will be an amount equal to 0.05 per cent of the nominal amount of each Bond, held by the relevant bondholder on September 17, 2018.
