Midsummer AB (publ) ("Midsummer" or "the Company") has released the preliminary subscription results of the rights issue of units consisting of shares and subscription warrants of series TO2, which was announced on March 20, 2023, and whose subscription period ended on May 10, 2023 ("the Rights Issue"). The preliminary subscription results show that 12 791 491 units, equivalent to approximately 55 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed with and without support from the unit rights. Therefore, the underwriting commitments were thus claimed from approximately 55 percent to approximately 65 percent of the rights issue. The Rights Issue is expected to provide Midsummer with approximately 180 MSEK before the deduction of issuance costs, to finance further investments in the Company's DUO machines and other manufacturing equipment.

The subscription period for the Rights Issue ended on May 10, 2023, and the preliminary results show that 12 260 795 units, equivalent to approximately 53 percent, were subscribed through the support of unit rights. In addition, the Company received subscriptions for 530 696 units without the support of unit rights, equivalent to approximately 2 percent, resulting in a total subscription with and without the support of unit rights of approximately 55 percent. Thus, the underwriters are allocated approximately 10 percent of the Rights Issue, whereby the Rights Issue is subscribed to a total of 65 percent and Midsummer is thereby provided with approximately 180 MSEK before transaction costs.

"I would like to thank all shareholders who have participated in the Rights Issue for their continued support as well as welcome new shareholders. The issue provides a significant boost to the Company's balance sheet while enabling continued investment and development of Midsummer's DUO machines and thin-film solar cells," said Sven Lindström, CEO of Midsummer.

Those who have subscribed for units without the support of unit rights will be allocated units according to the principles set out in the prospectus published by the Company on April 24, 2023. Settlement notes are expected to be sent out around May 15, 2023. The subscribed and allocated units 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. The final outcome is expected to be announced around May 12, 2023.

Through the Rights Issue, the share capital in the Company increases by SEK 2,400,000.00, from SEK 2,775,997.80 to SEK 5,175,997.80, through the issuance of 60,000,000 shares. The number of shares thus increases from 69,399,945 to 129,399,945 shares. The dilution amounts to approximately 46,4 percent.

Upon full exercise of all issued warrants of series TO2, the share capital will increase by an additional SEK 600,000.00 and the number of shares by 15,000,000. The subscription price for new shares resulting from the exercise of the warrants amounts to SEK 4.00 per new share and the Company may thus receive an additional maximum of 60.0 MSEK before issue costs.
