As per the date of this notice, there are a total of 179,233,563 shares in the company, corresponding to an equal number of votes. The company holds no treasury shares.
BHG owns 50.1% of the shares in the Lithuanian company Furniture1 UAB ("F1"). The other 49.9% is owned by the founder of F1, who is also its CEO. BHG has entered into an agreement with UAB Wechange, which is owned by the CEO, regarding transfer of shares in F1, whereby the CEO via UAB Wechange will repurchase the shares that were acquired by BHG in December 2020, corresponding to 20.1% of the shares in F1. After the transfer, BHG will hold 30.0% of the shares and votes, and the CEO will directly and indirectly hold 70.0% of the shares and votes.
The purchase price for the shares that are to be transferred pursuant to the agreement consists partly of a cash consideration of EUR 2,5m (equivalent to SEK 28m at the current exchange rate), partly of the founders of F1 waiving their put option towards BHG, which results in the group's debt of EUR 40m (equivalent to SEK 450m at the current exchange rate) relating to the put option being ceased. The board of directors deems that the purchase price and other transfer conditions are fair from a financial point of view for the shareholders of BHG.

The transfer of the shares in F1 is subject to approval of the extraordinary general meeting of BHG in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act. Thus, in order for the resolution to be valid, the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
For further information on the transfer, refer to BHG's press release on 29 June 2023.
