In light of the large interest, the board of directors of Modelon has decided to expand the offer through over-allotment with the support of the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting on 7 June 2024. The Rights Issue will provide the Company with proceeds of approximately SEK 50.1 million before deduction of costs related to the Rights Issue. Through the over-allotment, the Company will receive an additional approximately SEK 6.4 million before transaction costs.
