New share issue and buy-back of class C shares for incentive scheme

Semcon AB (publ) announced today that the Board has decided on a new share issue and to immediately afterwards buy-back 330,000 class C shares. The aim of the new share issue, the buy-back and the reason for the deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights, is to ensure the provision of ordinary shares for employees in the Group in accordance with the incentive scheme adopted by the EGM on 7 February 2008, by Semcon converting these class C shares to ordinary shares at a later date.

With the support of the authorization from the AGM on 24 April 2008, Semcon’s Board has decided to increase the share capital by SEK 330,000 through a direct cash issue of 330,000 class C shares to Nordea Bank AB (publ) (”Nordea”), each with a quota value of SEK 1, and an issue price of SEK 1 per share. Class C shares do not include the right to profit sharing and entitle the holder to one tenth of voting right per share, redeemable at the share’s quota value with the addition of interest and convertible into ordinary shares. Furthermore, Semcon’s Board has decided to immediately buy-back all class C shares from Nordea at the same price as the issue price SEK 1 per share, in total SEK 330,000.
