HANZA refinances and broadens ownership


HANZA refinances credit agreements through convertible loans and the sale of
company-owned shares.
HANZA Holding AB (publ) have a convertible loan of SEK 10 million and
shareholder loan of about SEK 12 million with term on 31 December 2015, as have
been described in the Company's reports. The majority of these loans are now
refinanced by that the Company will take up a new convertible loan of SEK 15
million with maturity on 31 December 2017 and sell 437,630 shares in HANZA that
are owned by the subsidiary HANZA Tvärbyssan AB. The purchase price is SEK 8 per
share, which corresponds to a total of about SEK 3.5 million.

Subscribers of the convertible loan and the buyer of the shares are Gerald
Engström, both privately and through the company Färna Invest AB, controlled by
Gerald Engström. Gerald Engstöm is founder and owner of Systemair AB, listed on
Nasdaq OMX.

"It is pleasing that HANZA attracts professional investors with broad industrial
expertise," commented Erik Stenfors, CEO HANZA.

Sales of the Company's shares does not affect the registered number of shares in
the Company or the Company's share capital. However,  the company does not
longer own shares previously deducted in earnings per share and equity per
share. Since company owned shares are not valued in the balance sheet,  the
transaction results in an increase of equity of SEK 3.5 million.

"It is a good solution for the previous credit agreements," says Lars Åkerblom,
CFO of HANZA Group. "Through the refinancing, we simplify our credit structure
and reduce interest expenses".

The decision to issue the convertible loan was made by the Board of Directors
with the authority granted by the Extraordinary General shareholder´s Meeting 30
July 2015. The holder is entitled to convert the loan into shares in the company
in December 2017. Furthermore, in certain specific circumstances the holder have
the right to request conversion earlier. The conversion rate is eighty-five per
cent of the average of the market price of the Company share during the three
months immediately preceding and notice of conversion, however not less than SEK
5.80. Upon full conversion of the convertible loan, the Company's share capital
may increase by a maximum of 258 620.70 kronor.
