The result of Hemfosa Fastigheter AB’s (publ) (“Hemfosa”) rights issue, for which the subscription period ended on May 10, 2016, indicates that 26,189,261 ordinary shares, representing approximately 99.6 percent of the offered ordinary shares, were subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights. Additionally, applications for subscription without subscription rights corresponding to 12,836,102 ordinary shares, corresponding to approximately 48.8 percent of the offered ordinary shares, have been received. Thus, the rights issue is fully subscribed. Through the rights issue, Hemfosa will receive proceeds amounting to approximately MSEK 1,814 before transaction costs.
‒ The rights issue represents a powerful move by Hemfosa and we are pleased that the response has been so positive. Our clear ambition is to continue growing and we see many attractive business opportunities in our three geographical markets. We have now created greater scope for acquisitions, which will allow us to continue to establish Hemfosa as a recognized and powerful player in community service properties,” says Jens Engwall, CEO of Hemfosa Fastigheter.
Those who have subscribed for ordinary shares without subscription rights will be allotted shares according to the principles outlined in the prospectus. Such subscribers who have been allotted shares without subscription rights are expected to be notified on May 16, 2016. Only those who are allotted ordinary shares will be notified.
Through the rights issue Hemfosa’s share capital increases by SEK 13,144,020.50 from SEK 71,220,103.50 to SEK 84,364,124 and the total number of ordinary shares increases by 26,288,041 from 131,440,208 to 157,728,249 when the rights issue is registered at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
The final day for trading in paid subscribed shares (BTAs) is expected to be May 19, 2016. The new ordinary shares subscribed for with subscription rights are expected to start trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on May 23, 2016, and the shares subscribed for without subscription rights on May 25, 2016.
