The merger between Cloetta and LEAF will be financed through a rights issue of approximately SEK 1,050 million with preferential rights for existing holders of A-shares and B-shares (the “Rights Issue”), fully underwritten by Malfors Promotor, CVC and Nordic Capital (indirectly through LEAF Holding S.A.) and through a five year credit facility of SEK 4.2 billion provided by Svenska Handelsbanken AB (publ).
The prospectus relating to the Rights Issue has been approved and registered with FI (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority).
