CEO Stefan Ölander in a comment:
– We are humbly grateful for the very large trust existing and new shareholders showed us in this new issue. Our goal was to reach SEK 100.2 million in issue volume and we received subscriptions corresponding to SEK 321 million. We are now filling the cash register with SEK 100.2 million and thus have the funds we need to continue our successful acquisition strategy.
Number of shares and over-allotment
6,775,816 shares were subscribed with the support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 91 percent of the Rights Issue, and 25,329,005 shares were subscribed for without the support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 341 percent of the Rights Issue. The rights issue is thus oversubscribed by 333 percent.
In order to allow allocation to those stakeholders who did not receive allotment in the Rights Issue and in order to broaden and strengthen the Company’s ownership base, the Board has decided, on the basis of authorization from the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2018, to issue an additional 2.6 million shares at a subscription price if SEK 10 per share, corresponding to approximately SEK 26 million, on the terms stated in the prospectus regarding the Rights Issue.
Through the Rights Issue and the Over-allotment Issue, a total of 10,018,222 shares will be issued and the Company will thus receive approximately SEK 100.2 million before issue costs.
Allocation in the Rights Issue
Notification of allotment to the persons who subscribed for shares without the support of subscription rights is expected to be distributed on June 4, 2019 by sending out settlement note. Allocation to the persons who subscribed for shares via the trustee is expected to appear on the account around June 5, 2019. Trustee-registered shareholders receive notification of allocation in accordance with the respective manager’s procedures. Subscribed and allotted shares shall be paid in cash no later than on the settlement date, June 10, 2019, in accordance with the instructions on the settlement note. Only those who receive the allocation will be notified.
Allocation in the Over-allotment Issue
Allocation of shares in the Over-allotment Issue falls to persons who have subscribed for shares in the Rights Issue without obtaining full subscription. The main allocation principle for shares in the Over-allotment Issue is to be allocated pro rata. Only those who receive the allocation will be notified.
Share capital and number of shares
After the registration of the Rights Issue and the Over-allotment Issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the Company’s share capital will increase by SEK 500,911 to a total of SEK 2,726,377. The number of shares in the Company will increase by an additional 10,018,222 shares to a total of 54,529,553 shares.
Advisers and BTA Subscription of shares with and without preferential rights continued during the period 13 – 29 May 2019. Avanza Bank has acted as financial advisor and issuing institution and Nordnet Bank has acted as a selling agent in connection with the issue. As soon as the share capital increase has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, paid subscribed shares (BTA) in the rights issue will be converted into new shares. Until then, trading with BTA is ongoing on Nasdaq First North. Trading in new shares is expected to commence on Nasdaq First North around June 19, 2019. The persons who have been allocated shares in the targeted Over-allotment Issue will not receive BTA but will instead be allocated shares around June 19, 2019.

Investment in China
SolTech’s investment in China is carried out by Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd (ASRE), which is jointly owned by our partner, Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc. (ASP). The business model consists of having ASRE finance, install, own, and periodically service solar energy installations mounted on the roofs of customer-owned facilities.

Focus is now concentrated on building a backlog of orders for 2019 and beyond, with the goal of obtaining an installed capacity of 605 MW (megawatts) by the close of 2021, which in 2022 will be set into full operation, generating current annual sales amounting to approximately 1 billion SEK (ca. 100 MEUR).
