The dilution from the Rights Issue amounts to approximately 82.4 percent of the capital and votes of the Company.
In the event of full exercise of all issued warrants series TO 4 for subscription of new shares in the Company, the number of shares will increase with an additional 1,048,696,624 shares to a total of 4,709,261,167 shares and the share capital will increase by an additional SEK 5,243,483.120 to SEK 23,546,305.835.
