Not for distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into any jurisdiction in which the distribution of this press release would be unlawful or would require registration or other measures besides those required by Swedish law. Additional restrictions apply, please see the important notice at the end of the press release.

The Board of Directors of Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB (publ) (“SBB” or the “Company”) has, based on the authorization given by the annual general meeting held on 29 April 2019, decided on a rights issue of common shares of Class B of approximately SEK 1.5 billion with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”).

Background and reasons

SBB has today announced a public takeover offer for the shares in Hemfosa Fastighter AB (publ) (“Hemfosa”) (see separate press release made public by SBB). The Rights Issue is undertaken to further enhance the Company’s financial strength and to support the combined business in obtaining an improved credit rating in line with SBB’s previously communicated goal to attain a BBB+ credit rating within the next 12 months. The Rights Issue is expected to be completed before the end of the acceptance period of the offer and only existing SBB shareholders will have the right to participate in the Rights Issue, i.e. SBB shares to be paid as part of the consideration for tendered Hemfosa shares under the offer will not entail a right to participate in the Rights Issue. The acquisition of Hemfosa is not conditional upon the Rights Issue as SBB has available funds and existing credit facilities in place to finance the acquisition.

Terms of the Rights Issue

SBB’s Board of Directors has, based on the authorization given by the annual general meeting held on 29 April 2019, resolved on a Rights Issue of common shares of Class B, to an amount of approximately SEK 1.5 billion before deduction of Rights Issue costs.

As of the record date, 22 November 2019, every existing common share of Class A, Class B and Class D and preference share entitles the holder to one (1) subscription right. Thirteen (13) subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new common share of Class B. In case not all shares have been subscribed for by way of subscription rights, allocation shall be made to persons that have subscribed for shares by way of subscription rights, irrespective if the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date 22 November 2019, and, in case of oversubscription, allocation shall be made pro rata to the number of subscription rights used for subscription, and, in case this is not possible, by way of a draw. Regarding shares that have not been subscribed for in accordance with the above, the allocation shall firstly be made to the other subscribers, and secondly to the Guarantors (as defined below) in accordance with the guarantee commitment described below.

The Rights Issue will increase SBB’s share capital by a maximum of SEK 6,544,306.10 from SEK 85,075,979.30 to not more than SEK 91,620,285.40 by an issue of up to 65,443,061 new common shares of Class B in SBB. After the Rights Issue, the number of shares in SBB will not be more than 916,202,854 shares.

The subscription price has been determined to SEK 23.00 per common share of Class B and represents a discount of approximately 3.6 percent compared to the closing price of SEK 23.85

for the common share of Class B on Nasdaq Stockholm on 14 November 2019, the last trading day preceding the decision on the Rights Issue. No commission will be charged.

The Rights Issue will raise SBB proceeds of approximately SEK 1,505 million before issue costs.

The record date at Euroclear Sweden AB for participation in the Rights Issue with preferential rights is 22 November 2019. This means that the share will be traded including a right to participate in the Rights Issue up to and including 20 November 2019. The subscription period will run from 26 November 2019 up to and including 9 December 2019, or such later date as decided by the Board of Directors.

Trading in subscription rights will be conducted at Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from and including 26 November 2019 up to and including 5 December 2019. Trading in paid subscribed shares (Sw. betalda tecknade aktier) (BTA) will be conducted at Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from and including 26 November 2019 up to and including 19 December 2019.

Shareholders who choose not to participate in the Rights Issue will be subject to a dilution effect of approximately 7.1 percent of the shares and 2.3 percent of the votes in the Company. However, shareholders can gain economic compensation for this dilution by selling their subscription rights.
