In such case, priority will be given firstly to those who have applied for subscription and subscribed for shares by the exercise of subscription rights, irrespective of whether or not they were shareholders on the record date and, in case of oversubscription, pro rata in relation to the number of subscription rights exercised for the subscription of shares, and secondly allotment shall be made to others who have applied for subscription without subscription rights (the general public in Sweden and qualified investors) and, in case of oversubscription, pro rata in relation to such declared interest. To the extent allotment according to the above cannot be made pro rata, allotment shall be made by drawing of lots.
- The subscription price has been set at SEK 9.20 per new share. Through the Rights Issue, Lipum’s share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 717,583.50, from the current SEK 1,913,556, to not more than SEK 2,631,139.50 through the issuance of not more than 2,870,334 new shares. After the Rights Issue, the number of shares in Lipum will amount to not more than 10,524,558 shares. Through the Rights Issue, Lipum will raise gross proceeds of approximately SEK 26.4 million, provided that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed.
- Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Rights Issue will have their holdings diluted by up to approximately 27.3 percent, but have the possibility to compensate themselves financially for the dilution by selling their subscription rights not later than 13 July 2023.
- The subscription period runs from and including 4 July 2023, until and including 18 July 2023, with a right for the Board of Directors of Lipum to extend the subscription period and the time for payment.
