As a result, 267 956 units, corresponding to approximately 1.4 million SEK, or approximately 5.0 percent of the Rights Issue, have been subscribed for under the terms of these guarantee commitments. Through the Rights Issue, the Company will initially raise approximately SEK 28.7 million before issue-related costs.

As a result of the Rights Issue, the Company’s share capital will increase by SEK 530,612.50, from SEK 1,591,837.50 to SEK 2,122,450.00, through the issuance of 5,306,125 shares.
