Anticipated client loss for Neonet

Due to suspected fraud in Norway Neonet could make a bad debt loss of up to SEK 4.7 million. Neonet has taken legal action to protect its interests.

Neonet has requested and been granted sequestration of the customer and its Chairman of the Board's assets. It remains unclear whether there are assets to exploit the bad debt in whole or in part.

“We see the incident as an isolated event where we have taken action. Operations and other customer relationships are unaffected by the incident,” said Neonet Securities AB's President Fredrik Lindqvist.
