Terms and conditions for the rights issue
Those who are registered by Euroclear Sweden AB as shareholders in Tobii on the record date December 2, 2016, have preferential rights to subscribe for new shares in the rights issue. For each share held in Tobii one (1) subscription right is received. Ten (10) subscription rights entitle to subscription of one (1) new share. In addition, investors are offered to subscribe for shares without subscription rights.
If not all shares are subscribed for with support of subscription rights, the Board of Directors will resolve on the allocation of shares subscribed for without subscription rights as follows: firstly, allocation should be completed to those who have applied for subscription and subscribed for shares with support of subscription rights, regardless if the subscriber was a shareholder at the record date or not, and in case of over-subscription, in relation to the number of subscription rights each has exercised in the subscription of shares, and secondly allocation shall be completed to others who have applied for subscription without support from subscription rights and, in case of over-subscription, in relation to the number of shares indicated in each subscription application and in case this cannot be completed, by means of lottery.
The record date of Euroclear Sweden AB for determining which holders of shares are entitled to receive subscription rights is December 2, 2016. The shares are traded including the right to participate in the rights issue up to and including November 30, 2016.
Assuming that the rights issue is fully subscribed, the share capital will be increased by a maximum of SEK 63,962.63 by a new issue of a maximum of 8,814,003 shares. Assuming full subscription, total issue proceeds amount to approximately SEK 458 million before issue costs1).
Subscription of new shares shall be made during the period from and including December 6, 2016, up to and including December 20, 2016. Tobii's Board of Directors has the right to extend the subscription period. Any extension will be published by the Company no later than December 20, 2016.
Shareholders who choose not to participate in the rights issue will have their ownership diluted by approximately 9 per cent, but are able to financially compensate themselves for this dilution by selling their subscription rights.
The rights issue is subject to approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting which will be held on November 30, 2016, at 15:00 a.m. CET at Nalen, Stacken conference room, David Bagares gata 17, Stockholm.
