The subscription price has been determined after negotiations with the investors and is based on a calculation of the volume weighted average closing price for the company’s share during a three months period ending on 1 March 2018, with a customary discount in order to ensure the implementation of the share issue.
The directed share issue entails a dilution effect of approximately 9.1 percent based on the total number of shares in the Company after the directed share issue.
