Extraordinary General Meeting in Midsona

Report this content

Midsona AB’s (publ) (“Midsona” or the “Company”) Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) on 24 November 2022 resolved, in accordance with previously announced information, the following:

  • To, in accordance with the board’s proposal, amend sections 4 and 5 of the Articles of Association, whereby the limits for the Company's share capital are changed to a minimum of SEK 500,000,000 and a maximum of SEK 2,000,000,000, and that the limits for the number of shares in the Company are changed to a minimum of 100,000,000 and a maximum of 400,000,000 shares.
  • To approve the board’s resolution from 25 October 2022 to increase the company’s share capital through a new issue of shares of series A and series B with preferential rights for existing shareholders.

Through the rights issue, Midsona’ share capital will increase by not more than SEK 363,570,200 through a rights issue of not more than 72,714,040 shares, of which not more than 298,320 shares of series A and not more than 72,415,720 shares of series B.

The new shares shall be issued at a subscription price of SEK 8.25 per share, regardless of share class.  

The record date for receiving subscription rights for participation in the rights issue with preferential right is 28 November 2022. Those who are registered as shareholders in the Company on the record date receive one (1) subscription right for each share of series A held and one (1) subscription right for each share of series B held. The subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for new shares with preferential right, whereby one (1) subscription right of series A entitles to subscribe for one (1) new share of series A and one (1) subscription right of series B entitles to subscribe for one (1) new shares of series B.

Subscription of shares can also take place without the support of subscription rights.

As communicated in Midsona’s press release on 25 October 2022, Stena Adactum AB (“Stena Adactum”), holding approximately 29.8 per cent of the shares and approximately 29.8 per cent of the votes in Midsona, has entered into a subscription and underwriting commitment in connection with the rights issue. The Swedish Securities Council has granted Stena Adactum an exemption from the mandatory bid obligation, which could emerge due to the subscription and underwriting commitment. The exemption, as far as the underwriting commitment is concerned, and thus also the underwriting commitment, was conditional on the shareholders being informed before the EGM of the maximum capital and voting share that Stena Adactum may obtain by subscribing for shares in the rights issue in addition to its preferential rights, and that the resolution to issue new shares is approved by the EGM and supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the EGM, whereby the shares held and represented at the EGM by Stena Adactum shall be disregarded.

Since the shareholders were informed prior to the EGM, in accordance with the above, and that the rights issue was approved by the EGM and supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the EGM, whereby the shares represented by Stena Adactum were disregarded, the conditions for the Swedish Securities Council’s exemption are thus fulfilled.

For further details and background and reasons for the rights issue of shares, see the Midsona’s press release from 25 October 2022.
