Meda AB (publ) extraordinary general meeting bulletin

At the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on November 6, 2014 of Meda AB (publ), it was resolved to approve the board of director’s resolution as of October 10, 2014, to launch a rights issue of shares of series A shares with preferential rights for Meda’s shareholders. The purpose of the rights issue is to finance part of the acquisition of Rottapharm.

According to the terms for the rights issue shareholders in Meda will have preferential rights to subscribe for one (1) new share of series A for each ten (10) shares held in Meda at the record date. In addition, investors are given the opportunity to subscribe for shares without preferential rights. The subscription price is SEK 61 per share, which means that the rights issue will provide Meda with a maximum of approximately SEK 2,027 million, before issue expenses, through the issue of no more than 33,224,306 new shares of series A. The record date is November 13, 2014. This means that the share will be traded exclusive of preferential rights as of November 12, 2014.
