Summary

  · Shareholders in Kungsleden have preferential right to subscribe for one (1)
new share per three (3) existing shares, i.e. an issue ratio of 1:3
  · The subscription price is SEK 35 per share
  · The total issue proceeds amounts to approximately SEK 1,593 million before
issue costs
  · The rights issue is subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting
that will take place on 16 September 2014

“We see that there are good acquisition opportunities in the market which fit
Kungsleden’s long term strategy. The new issue gives us the opportunity to
increase the growth rate where the mid-term goal is to reach a profit before tax
of SEK 1.0-1.2 billion no later than 2017. Focus will be on clustered real
estate portfolios and the 18 defined micro locations where we see growth
potential for rents as well as returns”, says Biljana Pehrsson, CEO of
Kungsleden.

Background and reasons
In early 2013, Kungsleden launched a new strategy with the goal to become the
most profitable and successful real estate company on the market. One part of
the new strategy is to create a larger, geographically more concentrated, high
quality property portfolio within selected property segments and geographical
regions which are characterised by good economic growth and demand for premises.
The company’s goal is to generate an attractive total return and the ambition is
to grow the property portfolio to a value of approximately SEK 30 billion.

Throughout 2013 and 2014 a number of large successful property acquisitions have
been carried out in accordance with the new strategy, while properties deemed
non-strategic have gradually been divested. In Kungsleden’s view, there are
currently attractive acquisition opportunities that would fit the company’s long
term strategy.

Consequently, the Board of Directors has resolved to, subject to the approval by
an Extraordinary General Meeting, launch a rights issue of approximately SEK 1.5
billion before issue costs in order to increase Kungsleden’s financial
flexibility and facilitate the company’s ability to realise its growth plans and
thereby create additional shareholder value.

Terms and conditions for the rights issue
On 15 August 2014, Kungsleden announced the decision of the Board of Directors
on a new share issue with preferential rights for the company’s shareholders.
The Board of Directors has now set the final terms for the issue.

A holding of three (3) existing shares on the record date entitles to
subscription for one (1) new share. The record date at Euroclear Sweden AB for
the right to receive subscription rights is 19 September 2014. The subscription
price is SEK 35 per share.

The subscription period (subscription through payment) will run from 23
September up to and including 8 October 2014, or such later date as decided by
the Board of Directors. Trading in subscription rights is expected to take place
from 23 September up to and including 3 October 2014.

Not more than 45,500,688 new shares shall be issued. Assuming full subscription,
the number of shares in the Company will increase from 136,502,064 shares to
182,002,752 shares and the share capital from SEK 56,875,860.00 to SEK
75,834,480.00, representing an increase of approximately 33 per cent. Assuming
full subscription, the total issue proceeds amounts to approximately SEK 1,593
million before issue costs. For existing shareholders who do not participate in
the new issue, a dilution effect arises corresponding to 25 per cent of the
total number of shares and votes in the company after the issue. Shareholders
who choose not to participate in the rights issue are able to compensate for
this dilution by selling their subscription rights.

The decision to launch the rights issue is subject to approval by an
Extraordinary General Meeting that will take place on Tuesday 16 September 2014
at 2:00 p.m. CET at Summit, Grev Turegatan 30, Stockholm.

Shareholder support

rights issue and have expressed their intention to vote in favour of it at the
Extraordinary General Meeting as well as subscribe for their pro rata shares of
the issue.
