Hemtex’s new share issue was oversubscribed and the guarantee commitment that was secured did not need to be used. The new share issue contributed SEK 164 M before issue expenses.

Offer from Hakon Invest AB

On April 28, 2009, Hakon Invest AB submitted a cash tender offer to the shareholders of Hemtex AB in compliance with the Swedish rules for mandatory takeover offers. Hakon Invest offered SEK 23 in cash per share together with an add-on premium of SEK 4 per share, which would be payable if Hakon Invest reached a shareholding exceeding 50% of the shares and votes in Hemtex AB. In a statement issued on June 11, 2009, the Board of Directors of Hemtex deemed Hakon Invest’s offer of SEK 23 per share to be inadequate since the offer did not reflect the Board’s perception of the company’s long-term potential. On June 18, 2009, Hakon Invest raised the consideration of the offer to SEK 27 in cash per share, with no possibility to receive any additional premium, and extended the acceptance period from June 22 to July 6. On June 23, 2009, Hakon Invest announced that the company, following a preliminary acceptance count, held 55.8% of the shares in Hemtex.
