Klövern announced on 6 November 2014 that the Board of Directors had resolved, by virtue of the authorization granted by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting on 22 October 2014, to carry out an issue of up to 7,000,000 preference shares at a subscription price of SEK 150 per preference share, including an option to increase the offer to 12,500,000 preference shares (“the Offer”). The Offer was increased to 12,500,000 preference shares on 13 November 2014. The Offer was directed towards the public in Sweden and institutional investors in Sweden and abroad. The subscription period for the offer to the public ended on 17 November 2014 and the subscription period for institutional investors ended on 18 November 2014.

The interest to subscribe for preference shares in Klövern has been large from both the public and from institutional investors and the Offer was considerably oversubscribed. Within the Offer approximately 13,000 private and institutional investors have been allotted preference shares in Klövern, whereof approximately 5,000 current shareholders and approximately 8,000 new shareholders. The issue proceeds amount to SEK 1,875 million, before issue related costs. The proceeds will be used to finance further acquisitions and development of the current property portfolio. Klövern wants to clarify that the proceeds are not to be used for early redemption of outstanding bonds maturing in March 2015.

The settlement date is 21 November 2014 and the first day of trading of the newly issued preference shares on Nasdaq Stockholm is expected to be 26 November 2014.

After the issue, the total number of shares in Klövern will amount to 199,432,360, of which 166,544,360 common shares and 32,888,000 preference shares.^[1]
