The subscription period in AB Electrolux ("Electrolux Group" or the "Group") fully underwritten rights issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the "Rights Issue"), ended on June 16, 2026. The preliminary outcome shows that the Rights Issue has been oversubscribed. As a result of the Rights Issue, Electrolux Group will receive gross proceeds of approximately SEK 9,062 million, before deduction of transaction costs.
The preliminary outcome indicates that 530,010,351 shares, corresponding to approximately 98.0 percent of the offered shares, have been subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights. Additionally, notification of subscription without subscription rights of 214,586,937 shares, corresponding to approximately 39.7 percent of the offered shares, have been received. In aggregate, the preliminary outcome of the Rights Issue indicates that the subscription by exercise of subscription rights and the applications for subscription without subscription rights correspond to approximately 137.6 percent of the offered shares. The Rights Issue is thus fully subscribed, and no underwriting commitments will be utilised.
