Conditions and timetable regarding new share issue
When Getinge
announced the acquisition of Maquet and ALM, it was stated that
these acquisitions would be partly financed through a new share
issue during the first four months of 2001. As a consequence,
Getinge’s Board of Directors have today reached a decision
regarding the issue of new shares subject to the approval of an
Extraordinary General Meeting, planned for 8 March 2001.
Existing
shareholders will have preferential rights in the new issue as
follows: each block of 9 shares will entitle the holder to
one new share at a price of SEK 100. Holders of class A shares
are entitled to subscribe for new class A shares, and holders of
class B shares are entitled to subscribe for new class B shares.
A maximum of 337,554 new class A shares and 4,709,294 new class B
shares will be issued. The new share issue will raise SEK 504.7
million for Getinge.
Carl Bennet AB and
Investment AB Latour have announced that they will be utilising
their subscription rights. Both companies will acquire any
outstanding new shares, if the new issue is not fully subscribed,
in accordance with the established issue guarantee.
