- Thomas Larsson was appointed new Chief Financial Officer for INVISIO Communications. Larsson started his employment during April and entered his position during the summer when the current CFO Bengt Nilsson is leaving the company due to retirement.
- The Board for INVISIO Communications AB has on April 19, 2012, decided to carry out a directed share issue to TAMT AB of a maximum of 2 500 000 shares, corresponding to about 7.4 percent of the total currently outstanding shares. Through the emission, the Company’s share capital increased with SEK 2 500 000. The subscription price was SEK 3.10 per share. The share issue provided the Company with a total of SEK 7 750 000. There were no share issue costs. In addition to the share issue, INVISIO has also received a loan guarantee from Yggdrasil AB of SEK 5.0 m. Yggdrasil controls 8.7 percent of the shares and votes in INVISIO and the potential loan would therefore be regarded as a related party transaction.
Important Events after the period
- INVISIO has received a loan of SEK 5.0 m from Erik Penser Bankaktiebolag. The loan is running with 9.25 percent interest until May 31, 2013, but can be repaid earlier without additional costs. INVISIO has issued collateral in the form of third hand pledge in the shares of the subsidiary Nextlink IPR AB. The loan represents a part of the financing solution that INVISIO accounted for in the press release and prospectus in connection with the new share issue with shareholder precedence during the fall of 2011.
