THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD IN ADVANCED SOLTECH’S RIGHTS ISSUE BEGINS TODAY

Today, 28 August 2023, the subscription period commences in Advanced Soltech Sweden AB (publ)’s (the “Company” or “Advanced Soltech”) rights issue with a subscription price of SEK 10 per share resolved and announced by the Board of Directors on 14 June 2023 (the “Rights Issue”).
The Rights Issue amounts to approximately a maximum of SEK 322 million. However, by undertakings from the shareholders who participated in the directed share issue in June 2023 to not dispose or use to subscribe shares regarding a certain number of subscription rights, and limitation regarding allotment of shares subscribed without the support of subscription rights, the Rights Issue is expected to be limited to approximately a maximum of SEK 99 million, under the conditions that the mentioned undertakings are adhered to. Shareholders are expected to receive a corresponding right in the Rights Issue as the right they did not receive in the part of the directed share issue in June 2023 that was subscribed by shareholders.
The proceeds from the Rights Issue are primarily intended to refinance the SOLT4 Bond (about 80%) and the rest of the proceeds to finance solar energy installations (about 20%).
