Tobii AB (publ) (“Tobii” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) has successfully raised 150 MSEK through the issuance of subsequent bonds (the “Subsequent Bonds” or the “Issue”) under its existing 2019/2022 bond loan with a framework of 600 MSEK (ISIN SE0012230076) (the “Bond Loan”). Following the Issue, the total amount outstanding under the Bond Loan is 450 MSEK. The net proceeds from the Subsequent Bonds will be used for financing of future acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
The Issue was well received by Nordic institutional and private investors and was heavily oversubscribed.
