On 28 November 2024, KlaraBo Sverige AB (publ) (“KlaraBo” or the “Company”) announced the board’s resolution to carry out a rights issue of up to 26,057,868 B shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders in KlaraBo (the “Rights Issue”). The subscription period in the Rights Issue ended on 23 December 2024. The final outcome shows that the Rights Issue is substantially oversubscribed. The final outcome corresponds to the preliminary outcome which was published through a press release on 27 December 2024. Through the Rights Issue, KlaraBo receives approximately SEK 391 million, before deduction of transaction costs.

Through the Rights Issue, 26,057,868 B shares were offered at a subscription price of SEK 15.00 per share. 24,310,563 B shares (corresponding to 93.3 percent of the Rights Issue) were subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights. In addition, notifications to subscribe for 26,549,809 B shares (corresponding to 101.9 percent of the Rights Issue) without subscription rights were submitted during the subscription period. Thus, the Rights Issue was oversubscribed by 95.2 percent and the guarantee undertaking provided by Investment Aktiebolaget Spiltan and Wealins S.A. in the Rights Issue will consequently not be used.

It is very satisfying to note strong support from existing shareholders and great interest from other investors, which has led to a substantially oversubscribed rights issue. The ongoing acquisition in Helsingborg of 740 apartments, which will be consolidated on 31 January 2025, will provide a stable continuous return and enable us to add further value through active management and ongoing refinement over time. KlaraBo is well-positioned for continued growth and sees economies of scale with a larger property portfolio in a region where we are already established. This creates value for both our tenants and our shareholders”, says Andreas Morfiadakis, CEO of KlaraBo.

Through the Rights Issue, KlaraBo receives approximately SEK 391 million before deduction of transaction costs, which amounts to approximately SEK 18 million. KlaraBo’s share capital will increase by SEK 1,302,893.40, from SEK 6,591,394.15 to SEK 7,894,287.55 and the total amount of shares will increase by 26,057,868 shares, from 131,827,883 shares to 157,885,751 shares (of which 16,300,000 are A shares and 141,585,751 are B shares).

Allotment of shares subscribed for without subscription rights has been made in accordance with the principles set out in KlaraBo’s prospectus regarding the Rights Issue. Notice of allotment of new B shares, subscribed for without subscription rights, will be distributed through a settlement note on or around 2 January 2025. Subscribed and allotted B shares shall be paid in cash in accordance with the instructions in the settlement note. Nominee-registered shareholders will receive notification of allotment in accordance with the respective nominee's procedures. Only those who receive allotment of shares will be notified.

The last day of trading with paid subscribed shares (Sw. BTA) is 9 January 2025. The new B shares are expected to start trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on 15 January 2025.
