Elanders has held a Rights issue with preferential rights for all
shareholders and raised over SEK 153 million before deductions for
issue costs. Of the offered shares in the Rights issue approximately
99.1 percent have been signed with primary preferential rights and
approximately 44.6 percent have been signed with subsidiary
preferential rights. The Rights issue is thus over-subscribed and
therefore the guarantors will not receive remuneration in accordance
with the published issue guarantee.
Today the Board of Directors has decided to allocate 13,159 B shares
corresponding to 0.9 percent of the Rights issue, which were signed
with subsidiary preferential rights, in accordance with the
allocation principles laid down in the prospectus. Notice of
allocation of shares signed with subsidiary preferential rights will
be given through the issue of contract notes, which will take place
around 4 April 2007. After payment for the shares has been registered
the shares will be deposited in the shareholder's account without
delay. No notice will be given those who have not been allocated
shares. The deposit of new shares signed with primary preferential
rights into shareholders' accounts is expected to take place around
12 April 2007.
As a result of the Rights issue the number of shares in Elanders has
increased by 83,333 A shares and 1,311,666 B Shares. After the Rights
issue the company's share capital will be SEK 97,649,990 allocated
into 583,333 A shares and 9,181,666 B shares.
