These investors had committed ahead of time to acquire shares at a price of SEK 8.35 per share. Due to the large interest in acquiring shares in Amasten, the investors who had committed to acquire shares ahead of time were allocated fewer shares than what they had expressed interest for, for the purposes of strengthening the shareholder base and liquidity in Amasten.
