Nobina AB (publ) has, as a result of its contemplated initial public offering, decided to release the interim report for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2015/16 ahead of earlier communicated schedule.

Following the publication of Nobina’s prospectus and announcement of the price range for its initial public offering (“the IPO” or “the Offering”) and listing of its shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, the bond holders are informed that:
(i) Nobina, shortly after completion of the offer, intends to use SEK 638 million of the net proceeds from the offer to repay the Bonds in full by exercising Nobina Europe’s right in the terms and conditions to redeem the Bonds early.

(i) 104% of the Bonds’ principal amount,
(ii) the accrued interest on the Bonds, and
(iii) the sum of the remaining interest payments up to, and including, 14 November 2016.
