    NOT FOR PUBLICATION, RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH PUBLICATION, RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS OR REQUIRE FURTHER REGISTRATION MEASURES OR OTHER MEASURES.

    The result of the rights issue in Nelly Group AB (publ) (“Nelly”) shows that 10,382,620 ordinary shares have been subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights. The remaining 1,606,392 ordinary shares have been allotted to those who have subscribed for shares without subscription rights. The rights issue is thus fully subscribed and Nelly will receive proceeds amounting to approximately MSEK 53 before issue costs.

    • The result shows that 10,382,620 ordinary shares, corresponding to approximately 87 percent of the offered shares in the rights issue, have been subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights. Additionally, applications for subscription without subscription rights of 2,950,973 shares have been received. The rights issue is thus oversubscribed and the total subscriptions correspond to approximately 111 percent of the Rights Issue. The guarantee undertakings from the company's three largest shareholders Rite Ventures, Stefan Palm (through company) and Mandatum will therefore not be utilized.
    • Allotment of shares subscribed for without the support of subscription rights has been made in accordance with the allotment principles described in the prospectus. As confirmation of the allotment of shares subscribed for without subscription rights, a contract note will be sent to those who have been allotted shares, which is expected to take place today, 12 April 2023. No notice will be sent to those who have not been allotted shares. Subscribed and allotted shares must be paid for in cash in accordance with the instructions on the contract note. Nominee-registered shareholders will receive notice of allotment and payment in accordance with the procedures of the nominee, respectively.
    • Nelly will through the rights issue receive proceeds amounting to approximately MSEK 53 before issue costs. Through the rights issue, Nelly's share capital will increase with SEK 11,989,012 from SEK 18,494,973 to SEK 30,483,985 by issuing 11,989,012 new ordinary shares. The number of shares in Nelly after the rights issue will amount to 30,483,985 shares (whereof 30,015,278 ordinary shares and 468,707 class C shares).
    • The last day of trading in paid subscription shares (BTA) is expected to be 17 April 2023. The new shares subscribed for with and without the support of subscription rights are expected to be registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office around 21 April 2023, and the new shares are expected to start trading at Nasdaq Stockholm from 25 April 2023.

    – We are pleased with the support that both existing and new shareholders have shown us in the rights issue. With secured liquidity we now look forward to continue building Nelly, one of the Nordic’s strongest brands for young women " says Helena Karlinder-Östlundh, acting CEO of Nelly.
