Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB (publ) ("SBB") has determined the price range and number of shares to be sold in connection with Sveafastigheter AB's (publ) ("Sveafastigheter") initial public offering on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market (the "Listing"). In connection with the Listing, SBB's subsidiary SBB i Norden AB (the "Seller") will offer a maximum of 88 million shares (including the over-allotment option), corresponding to 44 percent of the total number of shares, in Sveafastigheter. The shares will be offered in a price range of SEK 39.5 to SEK 45.5. The proceeds from the sale will be used to strengthen SBB's balance sheet and thereby improve SBB's financial position. The offer, including other terms and conditions, will be announced in, and made through, Sveafastigheter's prospectus which is intended to be published today.

The sale of shares in Sveafastigheter and the Listing is a step in SBB's strategy to decentralise the Group structure by establishing wholly and partly owned business units. SBB benefits from creating business units that can independently create better financing flexibility, improved financial reporting, increased specialisation, enabling faster decision-making and promoting closer cooperation with tenants, thereby creating additional value. The diversification of SBB's ownership under the strategy through the sale of shares in subsidiaries will provide SBB with a capital injection that can be used to strengthen SBB's financial position and reduce the company's debt.

The intended Listing will be carried out through an ownership distribution, whereby existing shares in Sveafastigheter amounting to a maximum of 44 percent and currently owned by the Seller will be offered to the general public in Sweden and to qualified investors in Sweden and internationally in accordance with applicable rules and applicable exemptions. Shareholders in SBB as of 27 September 2024 will have priority to subscribe for shares in the Listing on the same terms and conditions as other investors, subject to any restrictions that may result from applicable securities legislation.

"After a listing, Sveafastigheter will be one of Sweden's largest pure-play listed housing company. The size creates conditions for efficient and profitable housing management. SBB sees that Sveafastigheter is and will continue to be a first choice among municipalities, which contributes to profitable property development and a good supply of rental apartments. Residential properties are a very attractive property type that over long time series have generated high returns at low risk compared to other asset classes. My assessment is that residential property in particular will benefit from strong rental growth and falling capital costs. I am very pleased that our shareholders - thanks to the structure of this sale - will both benefit from the strengthening of SBB's balance sheet resulting from the sale and also have the option to be directly invested in Sveafastigheter, which has not been available in previous divestments made by SBB", says Leiv Synnes, CEO of SBB.

Sveafastigheter will continue to be one of SBB's core holdings and will after the intended listing become Sweden's largest listed housing company with approximately 14,500 apartments under management and approximately 7,900 apartments in project development or under construction. As of 30 June 2024, Sveafastigheter owns attractively located rental apartments worth SEK 27.5 billion, including properties under management and new construction. Based on the earnings capacity as of 30 June 2024, Sveafastigheter generates rental income of approximately SEK 1.5 billion with a net operating income of approximately SEK 1.0 billion.

Further information on the Listing will, after a prospectus has been published, be available on Sveafastigheter's website via the following link: corporate.sveafastigheter.se.

Information to distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID 2"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID 2; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID 2 Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID 2; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID 2 (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Managers will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID 2; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
