Framfab's New Issue Fully Subscribed In Framfab's rights issue with preferential rights, which was concluded on June 19, 2001, shares in an amount of SEK 150 million were subscribed, of which 83.5% were subscribed on the basis of preferential rights. Accordingly, the new issue is now fully subscribed and successfully completed. In May, Framfab completed a directed issue of new shares in an amount of SEK 175 million, which was oversubscribed. Accordingly, the terms and conditions for both issues have been fulfilled, whereby the total proceeds for Framfab will amount to SEK 325 million, before issue expenses. Subscribers of the two issues include both institutional and private shareholders, such as Livförsäkringsaktiebolaget Skandia, Antfactory, Sven Skarendahl (Chairman of the Board of Framfab), Johan Wall (CEO of Framfab) and a number of other senior executives and founders of Framfab. "I am delighted by the level of support we have received from our shareholders and institutional investors," said Sven Skarendahl, Chairman of the Board of Framfab. "Our shareholders and clients will benefit from this, since it means that we can complete our structural change and achieve a tight focus on our core business, digital services based on Internet technology," said Johan Wall, CEO of Framfab. "We are already seeing the positive effects of this refinancing on the business. Since we announced that the new share issue was guaranteed, we have secured a number of new agreements with clients, including the already announced agreements with Orange Sweden and Packard Bell," said Johan Wall. In total, all the 149,841,219 shares offered in the rights issue were subscribed, whereby the number of Framfab shares after the new issue totals 474,682,438.
