Advanced Soltech Sweden AB (publ) (the “Company” or “Advanced Soltech”) has published a prospectus regarding the forthcoming rights issue of shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”) resolved and announced by the Board of Directors on 14 June 2023.
The prospectus was approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and has been made available on the Company’s website (https://advancedsoltech.se), together with all other information related to the Rights Issue. The Prospectus will also be made available on Eminova’s website (www.eminova.se) and within a couple of days on the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority’s website (www.fi.se).
The Rights Issue amounts to approximately a maximum of SEK 322 million. However, by undertakings from the shareholders who participated in the directed share issue in June 2023 to not dispose or use to subscribe shares regarding a certain number of subscription rights, and limitation regarding allotment of shares subscribed without the support of subscription rights, the Rights Issue is expected to be limited to approximately a maximum of SEK 99 million, under the conditions that the mentioned undertakings are adhered to. Shareholders are expected to receive a corresponding right in the Rights Issue as the right they did not receive in the part of the directed share issue in June 2023 that was subscribed by shareholders.
For complete information on the Rights Issue, please refer to the prospectus.
