Rottneros enters into an amended loan agreement with the Company’s lenders

On 20 May 2025, the Company announced the Board of Directors’ resolution on a fully guaranteed rights issue with preferential right for existing shareholders of approximately 300 MSEK, before deduction of transaction costs (the ”Rights Issue”), subject to approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company’s largest shareholder, Arctic Paper, representing 51.0 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company, has undertaken to subscribe for its pro rata share in the Rights Issue and committed to underwrite the remaining part of the Rights Issue not covered by the subscription commitment. Arctic Paper’s commitments are subject to the condition that the Company enters into an amendment and restatement agreement in relation to the existing loan agreement. This condition has now been fulfilled as the Company has entered into the amendment and restatement agreement, whereby the existing loan agreement will be amended in accordance with the terms set out therein.

The amended and restated loan agreement includes, among other things, a liquidity covenant and a profitability target replacing the current leverage covenant up to and including 30 September 2026. The amended and restated loan agreement will enter into force upon completion of the Rights Issue.
