As part of the above and pursuant to the authorization granted by the annual general meeting held on 27 April 2020, the board of SBB has resolved on a directed issue of not more than 28,339,495 Class D common shares (which constitutes the maximum number of Class D common shares that may be issued as part of the Offer provided that all remaining shareholders in Offentliga Hus elect to receive the share consideration instead of the cash consideration) at a price of SEK 30.06 per share against payment in kind (shares in Offentliga Hus). The value of the assets in kind that will be recorded in the Company’s balance sheet, as well as the subscription price, might, however, as a consequence of applicable accounting principles, change subject to conditions as at the so called transaction date. The directed issue to shareholders in Offentliga Hus may lead to the number of Class D common shares increasing to not more than 221,064,471 and the total number of shares in the Company increasing to not more than 1,550,577,542[1], which would entail a dilution of approximately 1.83 percent of the total shares in the Company and approximately 0.82 percent of the total votes in the Company.
