Stock notice
AXA - Additional information regarding the subsequent offering
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN
PART DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR
THE UNITED STATES
Reference is made to the stock exchange notice from Axactor
AB ("Axactor" or the "Company") on 13 October 2016 regarding
the completion of the private placement of 230,000,000 new
shares (the "Private Placement") and the subsequent offering
of 50,000,000 new shares (the "Subsequent Offering").
The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards shareholders
in the Company as of close of trading on 12 October 2016 and
as registered in the VPS on 14 October 2016 (the "Record
Date") who were not allocated shares in the Private
Placement, whether they had subscribed for shares in the
Private Placement or not, and who are not resident in a
jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or would
(in jurisdictions other than Sweden or Norway) require any
prospectus filing, registration or similar action (the
"Eligible Shareholders").
The subscription price in the Subsequent Offering will be NOK
2.60, i.e. equal to the subscription price in the Private
Placement.
For each share recorded as held as of expiry of the Record
Date, each Eligible Shareholder will be granted one
subscription right. Twelve subscription rights give the
holder a right to subscribe for one offer share in the
Subsequent Offering. The subscription rights will not be
listed and tradeable. Subscription rights not used to
subscribe for shares prior to the expiry of the subscription
period will lapse without compensation to the holder and will
consequently be of no value.
The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering will last
for ten business days and commences as soon as practically
possible following the approval of a prospectus by the
Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, expected in the
second half of November 2016. Such approval and the
commencement of the subscription period will be further
announced by the Company in due course. No action is
currently required by the Eligible Shareholders at this
point.
Carnegie and DNB Markets (the "Managers") act as joint
bookrunners for the Subsequent Offering.
Further details regarding the Subsequent Offering will be
made in due course.
