NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO
THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA
OR NEW ZEALAND OR IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR
DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS PRESS RELEASE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER
OF ANY SECURITIES OF NEXAM CHEMICAL.

Nexam Chemical Holding AB (publ) today announces that its private placement of
12 944 000 Nexam Chemical shares has been completed. The offering attracted
interest from Swedish and international institutional investors. The price of
SEK 10.00 per share was determined through a book-building procedure, resulting
in total cash proceeds of approximately SEK 129 million before transaction
costs.
“We are very pleased with the strong interest from both Swedish and
international investors and see positively on the new composition of
shareholders. The offering strengthens our financial position and is an
important step in financing the continued growth and expansion”, said Anders
Spetz, CEO of Nexam Chemical.

For the purpose of the private placement, the Board of Directors of Nexam
Chemical Holding AB has resolved, pursuant to the authorization given by the
annual general meeting held on 12 May 2015, to issue 12 944 000 new Nexam
Chemical shares to the investors in the private placement. The Board considers
it to be beneficial for Nexam Chemical and its shareholders to broaden the
shareholder base and to take advantage of the opportunity to raise capital for
the company. The Board believes that the private placement, which in light of
the above is made disapplying the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, will promote
the creation of value for all shareholders of Nexam Chemical.

Settlement with investors is expected to take place on or around 15 March 2016
and registration of new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office
and Euroclear Sweden is expected to take place a few days thereafter.

The price in the private placement corresponds to a discount of approximately 5
per cent compared to the closing share price on 10 March 2016. The issue of new
shares for the purpose of the private placement will, after registration of the
new shares, result in a dilution of approximately 20 per cent. Through the issue
of new shares, the number of shares in Nexam Chemical will increase by 12 944
000, from 51 780 000 shares to 64 724 000, and the share capital will increase
by SEK 248 923,076929, from SEK 995 769,230794 to SEK 1 244 692,307723.

Danske Bank is acting as sole lead manager and bookrunner of the private
placement. Ashurst is legal adviser to Danske Bank and Setterwalls is legal
adviser to Nexam Chemical.
