Agrokultura AB (publ) has resolved on a directed share issue against payment through set-off of claims to holders of promissory notes


The board of directors of Agrokultura AB (publ) has today, pursuant to an
authorization granted by the annual general meeting 2014, resolved on a directed
share issue against payment through set-off of claims whereby the company’s
share capital may increase with not more than SEK 36 272 355 through the
issuance of not more than 7 254 471 new shares.
As informed in connection with the annual general meeting 2014, the purpose with
the proposed authorization was to enable payment through set-off of claims to
holders of freely transferable promissory notes issued by the company in
accordance with an agreement with Alpcot Capital Management Ltd. The board of
directors has deemed it to be in the best interest of the company and its
shareholders and has therefore now resolved to make use of the authorization for
such purpose. The subscription price, established in accordance with the terms
and conditions in the agreement with Alpcot Capital Management Ltd, is SEK 5 per
share and the board of directors is of the opinion that the subscription price
at least corresponds to the market value. Subscription for the newly-issued
shares shall take place within five (5) working days of the date of the
resolution to issue new shares (at which time set-off of claims will be
effected).

The share capital of Agrokultura today amounts to SEK 695,043,290 divided
between 139,008,658 shares, each with a quotient value amounting to SEK 5. The
new share issue may therefore entail a dilution of approximately not more than
4.96 per cent of the company’s share capital and total number of votes
(percentage calculation based on the maximum number of shares and votes that may
be issued divided with the total number of shares and votes after the new
issue).
