Today’s Extraordinary General Meeting in AroCell AB (publ) (“AroCell” or the “Company”) resolved to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution on an issue of shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”) and the Board of Directors’ resolution on a directed issue (the “Directed Issue”) (the “Issues of New Shares”).

Resolutions on approval of the Board of Directors’ resolutions on Issues of New Shares
The terms of the Rights Issue entitle persons registered as shareholders in AroCell on the record date, 15 November 2019, to receive two (2) subscription rights for each share. Three (3) subscription rights entitle to subscription of one (1) new share. In addition to this, investors are offered the possibility to subscribe for shares without subscription rights. The Rights Issue will result in an increase of the share capital with not more than SEK 2,628,496.30 through an issue of not more than 26,284,963 shares. The subscription price is SEK 1.50 per share.
For shareholders that do not participate in the Rights Issue the dilution effect will be approximately 40 percent (calculated as the number of new shares due to to the Rights Issue divided with the total number of shares in the Company after a fully subscribed Rights Issue).

The Directed Issue has been directed towards a limited number of Nordic qualified investors and will result in an increase of the share capital with not more than SEK 1,000,000 through an issue of not more than 10,000,000 shares at a subscription price of SEK 1.50 per share. The dilution effect for current shareholders, calculated after the Rights Issue, will be approximately 13 percent.
