Iconovo AB (publ) (”Iconovo” or the “Company”) today announces the final outcome of the rights issue of shares, which was announced on 24 April 2025 (the “Rights Issue"). The final outcome shows that the Rights Issue has been subscribed to a total of approximately 114.4 percent, of which approximately 89.0 percent were subscribed with subscription rights, approximately 25.4 percent were subscribed without subscription rights which means that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed and consequently, no guarantee commitments will be utilized. Through the Rights Issue, Iconovo receives approximately MSEK 36.6 before issuing costs. In connection with the Rights Issue, a recalculation has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions for warrants series TO 1 in the Company (“TO 1”) regarding the subscription price and number of shares that each TO 1 entitles the holder to subscribe for.
The subscription period in the Rights Issue ended on 2 June 2025, and the final results shows that 28,338,018 shares, equivalent to approximately 89.0 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for through the support of subscription rights. In addition, 8,084,944 shares were subscribed for without the support of subscription rights, equivalent to approximately 25.4 percent of the Rights Issue. Thus, the Rights Issue is subscribed to a total of 114.4 percent and Iconovo is thereby provided with approximately MSEK 36.6 before issuing costs. As the Rights Issue is subscribed to 100 percent, no guarantee commitments will be utilized.
"We are very pleased and grateful for the strong interest shown in participating in Iconovo’s rights issue. A subscription outcome of approx. 114 percent is a clear sign of the confidence in the company’s strategy and our future plans. With this strong support behind us, we look forward to continuing to develop the business and delivering on the plans we have previously communicated." – Johan Wäborg, CEO of Iconovo.

The subscribed and allocated shares must be paid in cash according to the instructions on the settlement note. Shareholders registered with a nominee will be notified of their allocation in accordance with the nominee's procedures. Allocation of shares subscribed without the support of subscription rights has been carried out in accordance with the principles set out in the information document (the “Information Document”) published by the Company on 15 May 2025 prepared in accordance with article 1.4 db Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC, Annex IX (the “Prospectus Regulation”).
