Hemtex publishes addendum to prospectus

Hemtex AB (publ) (”Hemtex”) is today publishing an addendum to the previously published prospectus pertaining to the new share issue with preferential rights for Hemtex shareholders.

The Board of Directors of Hemtex has prepared an addendum to the prospectus pertaining to the rights issue, which has been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. The Addendum Prospectus is part of the previously published prospectus “Inbjudan att teckna aktier i Hemtex AB (publ)” (“Invitation to subscribe for shares in Hemtex AB (publ)”), which was approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority on April 24, 2009. The addendum has been prepared as a result of the cash offer, in accordance with the Swedish rules concerning mandatory takeovers, announced by Hakon Invest AB (publ) (“Hakon Invest”) on April 28, 2009. The addendum essentially comprises press releases from Hakon Invest and Hemtex that were published due to the cash offer.

In connection with the publication of the Addendum Prospectus, the investors who have applied for purchases of shares or who in some other manner have approved the purchase or subscription of shares from the ongoing rights issue will be entitled to rescind their application or their approval within five working days.

The addendum to the prospectus can be downloaded from the Hemtex and Swedbank Markets websites: www.hemtex.com and www.swedbank.se/prospekt, respectively.
