Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) (“Carnegie”) and Handelsbanken Capital Markets (jointly the “Joint Bookrunners”) have today notified Profoto Holding AB (publ) (“Profoto” or the “Company”), Burken Invest AB and Nedergransta Förvaltning AB that the over-allotment option has been exercised in full and that the stabilisation period has ended in advance.
In connection with the initial public offering of Profoto and the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm on 1 July 2021 (the “Offering”), Burken Invest AB and Nedergransta Förvaltning AB granted the Joint Bookrunners an option to purchase up to 2,138,907 existing shares in Profoto to cover any over-allotment in connection with the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in full or in part within 30 days from the first day of trading in Profoto’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. The Over-Allotment Option has been exercised in full.
No price stabilisation activities have been carried out since the Offering, and due to the Company’s share price performance Carnegie has, as stabilisation agent on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners, decided to end the stabilisation period in advance.
