Major Owner BGA Invest Participates in Ongoing Rights Issue - Invests an Additional SEK 20 Million in Minesto


STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Minesto's largest shareholder BGA Invest has subscribed for units for approximately SEK 20 million in Minesto's ongoing rights issue, corresponding to just over 23 percent of the issue's total volume of approximately SEK 86 million. The investment means that Minesto's two main owners BGA Invest and Midroc New Technology have invested a total of SEK 40 million in the company during autumn 2019.

"It's obviously great to have this level of support and commitment of our two largest shareholders. BGA Invest and Midroc New Technology have been crucial to Minesto's development over the years and once again show their belief in the potential of the company and the product", said Minesto's CEO Dr Martin Edlund.

BGA Invest's subscription of units for SEK 20 million matches the investment of SEK 20 million that Midroc New Technology made in Minesto at the end of October, when they and an international institutional investor participated in a private placement of identical units as in the ongoing rights issue.

In order to give existing shareholders the opportunity to retain their relative share in Minesto, Midroc New Technology will not participate in the rights issue and the subscription rights accruing to them are cancelled.

The rights issue in brief:
