  • The subscription price is SEK 12.50 per B share.
  • Existing B shareholders will receive (1) subscription right for each B-share owned in Flat.
    Seven (7) subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new B share.
  • Trading in subscription rights will take place during the period November 7-18, 2024.
  • The subscription period runs during November 7-21, 2024.
  • Approximately SEK 55.0 million, corresponding to approximately 69 per cent of the rights issue, is secured through subscription commitments free of charge from existing shareholders.
