Lund, 2013-02-25 15:31 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Anoto Group AB (publ) (“Anoto” or the “Company”) has resolved on the terms of the Company’s rights issue that was announced on 4 February 2013 (“the Rights Issue”).
For each share held on the record day, the shareholders will receive two (2) subscription rights. Five (5) subscription rights entitle to subscription of one (1) new share. The subscription price has been fixed at SEK 1.70 per share, which means that the Rights Issue will provide Anoto with a maximum amount of SEK 93,185,214 (before issue costs) by means of an issuance of up to 54,814,832 new shares, resulting in a share capital increase of not more than SEK 1,096,296.64.
The record date at Euroclear Sweden AB for receipt of subscription rights is 7 March 2013. As a result, the Anoto share will be traded without right to subscription from and including 5 March 2013. The subscription period will run from and including 11 March 2013 up to and including 25 March 2013, or such later date as determined by the Board.
The Rights Issue is subject to approval by the extraordinary general meeting, which will be held on 4 March 2013 at 1.00 pm at Anoto’s offices in Lund. For further information concerning the general meeting and the Rights Issue, please refer to the notice of the general meeting and the press release by which the Board’s rights issue resolution was announced.
