Elos Medtech announces final outcome of the rights issue
The subscription period for Elos Medtech AB (publ)'s ("Elos Medtech" or the "Company") rights issue ended on 3 November 2023 (the "Rights Issue"). The final outcome of the Rights Issue shows that 16,502,230 shares, corresponding to approximately 81.8 percent of the offered shares, were subscribed for with subscription rights. In addition, 278 shares have been subscribed for without subscription rights.

The guarantee undertaking provided by TA Associates, through EM Intressenter AB, will thus be partially utilized. As a result, 100 percent of the shares offered in the Rights Issue have been subscribed for. Through the Rights Issue, Elos Medtech will receive approximately SEK 4,337 million before deductions for issue costs.
Stefano Alfonsi, CEO of Elos Medtech, comments:
"We are pleased that the rights issue has now been completed, which together with previously obtained regulatory approvals means that we are well placed to finalize the acquisition of Klingel. I very much look forward to soon welcoming our new colleagues, and to working together to increase our geographical reach with a strengthened offering to our customers, and taking the next step on our joint journey."
