The acquisition is expected to create tangible value for shareholders, with EPS more than doubling by 2028 and potential for increased dividends.
Financial and shareholder support
The transaction is primarily financed through equity (including SEK 600m new issue), bonds (SEK 500m), and existing funds.
Strong shareholder support, with SEK 410m committed by the largest shareholder and additional commitments from management and other investors.
