Acquisition of shares in Nordic Infrastructure Group

Qben Infra has today acquired 170,924 shares in Qben Infra's subsidiary Nordic Infrastructure Group for a total purchase price of NOK 6,000,000, of which NOK 3,000,000 has today been paid in the form of 191,607 newly issued shares in Qben Infra. The remaining part of the purchase price has been paid in cash. The background to the acquisition is that Klette Invest no longer has any connection to Nordic Infrastructure Group, which makes it more appropriate for Klette Invest to own shares in Qben Infra instead of Nordic Infrastructure Group.

The Board of Directors of Qben Infra has in connection with the takeover, based on the authorisation from the extraordinary general meeting on 22 October 2024, resolved on the share issue. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to fulfil Qben Infra's obligations under the share transfer agreement between the parties. The subscription price amounted to SEK 15, which corresponds to a premium of approximately 36 per cent in relation to the closing price of the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market on 4 April 2025 and has been determined through arm's length negotiations with the seller.

Increase in shares and share capital

Through the new share issue, the number of shares and votes in Qben Infra will increase by 191,607 from 75,542,715 to 75,734,322. The share capital will increase by approximately SEK 2,661.21 from approximately SEK 1,049,204.38 to approximately SEK 1,051,865.59. The new share issue entails a dilution of approximately 0.25 per cent.
