The directed new share issue, which was announced on March 13, 2014, has allowed
Nexam to issue 3,000,000 new shares to international institutional investors and
qualified investors in Sweden at a price of SEK 22.50 per share through an
accelerated book-building process.

The proceeds from the new share issue are intended to be used to finance and
enabling the continuance of a high rate of expansion and the development of the
company, its markets and products.

“The completed new share issue strengthens our financial position and enables an
accelerated high rate of expansion and increased market penetration of Nexam’s
unique product offering. It is pleasing to see that interest in participating in
the offering has been great among both Swedish and international institutional
investors” says Per Palmqvist Morin, CEO of Nexam.

To implement the new share issue, the Board of Directors has resolved, pursuant
to the authorization given by the general meeting on March 20, 2013, on a
directed new share issue of 3,000,000 new shares. The purpose of the resolution
to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights,
is primarily to take advantage of an opportunity to raise capital on
advantageous terms from new, from a financial perspective, strategically
important owners, thereby promoting Nexam’s ability to create further value for
all shareholders.

The new issue results in an equity dilution of 5.8 per cent based on the number
of shares after the new share issue. The subscription price has been established
through a customary book-building process. In relation to the 10 day volume
weighted average share price on the last trading day before the resolution on
issuance of new shares, the subscription price corresponds to a discount of
approximately 14.1 per cent. In relation to the market close price on March 13,
2014, the subscription price corresponds to a discount of approximately 8.9 per
cent. Current major shareholders have undertaken to temporarily lend required
number of shares to facilitate expeditious delivery to the share subscribers.
