Additionally, applications for subscription of 5,415,070 B-units without unit rights, corresponding to approximately 2 percent of the offered units, have been received. In aggregate, the subscriptions by exercise of unit rights and the applications for subscription without unit rights correspond to approximately 42 percent of the offered units. Hence, guarantee commitments of 111,666,462 B-units, corresponding to approximately 43 percent of the offered units, will be utilized. Thus, the Company will receive issue proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately SEK 22 million before deduction of costs attributable to the Rights Issue.
