According to the Swedish Securities Council’s statement AMN 2023:30, Flerie was granted an exemption from the obligation to make a mandatory bid that could arise as a result of Flerie subscribing for its pro rata share in the rights issue that Lipum carried out in 2023. According to the exemption, an obligation to make a mandatory bid arises if Flerie subsequently acquires additional shares and thereby increases its voting rights in Lipum.
Thereby, the threshold for a mandatory bid according to the Takeover rules for certain trading platforms has been exceeded. According to Flerie’s press release, Flerie intends to revert with information about a possible public takeover bid for the remaining shares in Lipum within four weeks from 1 March 2024.
