Ratos to release c. SEK 400m by refinancing holding in HL Display
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
This information is disclosed in accordance with the Securities Markets Act, the
Financial Instruments Trading Act or demands made in the exchange rules.
Ratos has decided to refinance the holding in HL Display. This means that Ratos
will receive a cash payment of approximately SEK 400m. The refinancing will be
implemented to adapt the capital structure in HL Display to the new ownership
structure with Ratos as the company's principal owner.
The refinancing of Ratos's holding in HL Display will be achieved by Ratos
raising a loan in one of Ratos's wholly owned subsidiaries with Ratos's shares
in HL Display as collateral. The refinancing will not affect HL Displays AB's
(publ) balance sheet, but means that Ratos will receive approximately SEK 400m.
Ratos's consolidated book value for HL Display will thus be adjusted downwards
by a total of approximately SEK 400m. The refinancing will have no impact on
Ratos's consolidated earnings. Current loans within HL Display AB (publ) are
unaffected.
At the end of the extended acceptance period, on 27 August, Ratos owned 99.3% of
the capital and 99.7% of the votes in HL Display.
