STOCKHOLM--()--Regulatory News:

Lifco AB: (STO:LIFCO)

SEB Corporate Finance (“SEB”) has today notified Lifco AB (publ) (“Lifco”) and Carl Bennet AB (“CBAB”) that the over-allotment option has been exercised in full in respect of 4,120,900 shares in Lifco.

In connection with the initial public offering of Lifco, CBAB granted SEB an over-allotment option of up to 4,120,900 series B shares to be used to cover so-called over-allotment of shares. SEB has exercised the over-allotment option in full. No stabilisation has been carried out since the listing, and due to Lifco’s share price development, SEB has decided to end the stabilisation period.

Following the exercise of the over-allotment option CBAB holds 45,513,260 shares in Lifco, corresponding to an ownership of approximately 50.1% of the shares and approximately 68.9% of the votes in Lifco.
