[Stockholm, 20 August 2009] – The SinterCast AB (publ) Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the shareholders was held on 20 August 2009 in Stockholm. During the EGM, the shareholders approved the Board of Directors' proposal for a new issue of shares and share warrants of Series 2009/2010 with pre-emption rights for existing shareholders. The rights issue comprises of a maximum of 925,483 new shares and 925,483 new warrants. The right to subscribe for new shares and share warrants shall belong to those persons who on the record date for the new issue of shares are recorded as shareholders of the Company in the share register kept by Euroclear. Each such shareholder shall have a pre-emption right to obtain one (1) subscription right for one (1) existing share. Six (6) subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) Unit consisting of one (1) share and one (1) share warrant. Shares and share warrants may only be jointly subscribed for in Units. Each Unit is issued at a subscription price of SEK 25, where the subscription price for each share is SEK 25. The share warrants are not issued against payment. Accordingly, the initial amount of the new rights issue is SEK 23,137,075. Subscription and payment for a Unit by a shareholder with subscription right shall be made during the period from 31 August to 14 September 2009. Subscription of shares by virtue of the share warrants shall be made during the period from 1-30 September 2010. Two (2) share warrants entitle the holder to subscribe to one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 25. The Board of Director's complete proposal for the pre-emptive rights issue is available on the SinterCast website.
The shareholders also approved the Board of Directors' proposal for a new Employee Stock Option Programme including the issue of employee stock options and the issue of share warrants to SinterCast Personnel AB. The employee stock options shall be allocated to all staff employed in the SinterCast Group at the time of issue. The stock options entitle each such employee to acquire one (1) share in the Company. The maximum number of stock options to be allotted will be 285,000, with an additional 15,000 share warrants being reserved by the Company to cover the social costs associated with the programme. The subscription of shares via the options will take place annually over a four year period, with the subscription price being equivalent to an annual increase of ten (10) percent of the average volume-weighted price paid for one SinterCast share on the Stockholm Stock Exchange on each trading day during the period 6-19 August 2009, specifically, SEK 36.6. The annual increase of ten percent corresponds to a 46.5% increase over the four year term of the programme. The employee stock options are subject to a ceiling such that any profit, at exercise, cannot exceed SEK 50 per option. The Board of Director's complete proposal for the Employee Stock Option Programme is available on the SinterCast website.
