Press release from Elanders AB (publ) 2016-10-21
 
The results of Elanders' rights issue show that all Class A shares and 8,343,202 Class B shares, representing approximately 99.5 percent of the offered shares, were subscribed for with subscription rights. In addition, applications for subscription without subscription rights amounting to an additional 1,464,618 Class B shares have been received, representing approximately 16.6 percent of the total offer. The rights issue has thereby been oversubscribed. Through the rights issue, Elanders receives proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 707 million before issue costs.
 
The 42,532 Class B shares that were not subscribed for with subscription rights have been allocated to other subscribers in accordance with the principles outlined in the prospectus. Notification regarding such allocation is only sent to those who have been allocated shares. Consequently, the issue guarantee from Carl Bennet AB has not been utilized. 
 
As a result of the rights issue Elanders' share capital increases by SEK 88,394,370 to SEK 353,577,510. The total number of shares increases by 8,839,437 to 35,357,751 shares, of which 1,814,813 Class A shares and 33,542,938 Class B shares.
 
Trading in the new shares subscribed for in the rights issue is expected to commence on Nasdaq Stockholm on or around 28 October 2016.
 
Nordea and SEB are acting as financial advisers and Vinge as legal adviser to Elanders in connection with the rights issue.
