CEO Stefan Ölander in a comment:
– We are humbly grateful for the trust existing and new shareholders have shown us in this new share issue. We now have the funds we need to exploit the potential of the rapidly growing market and to continue our successful acquisition strategy.

Number of shares and Over-allotment
A total of 7,759,307 shares were subscribed for with the support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 95 percent of the Rights Issue, and 48,607,379 shares without the support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 595 percent of the Rights Issue. The rights issue was thus oversubscribed by 590 percent.

To enable allotment to those stakeholders who have not been allotted in the Rights Issue and for the purpose of broadening and strengthening the Company's ownership base, the Board has decided to issue an additional 3,840,000 shares in an Over – allotment issue. This is done at a subscription price of SEK 12 per share, which gives approximately SEK 46 million, and on the terms stated in the prospectus regarding the Rights Issue, which gives approximately SEK 98 million.

Through the Rights Issue and the Over-allotment Issue, a total of 12,012,423 shares will be issued and the Company will thus receive SEK 144,149,076 million before issue costs.
