The total number of subscription requests amounted to DKK 92.3 million. The rights issue of DKK 57.1 million, equivalent to an offering of 3,172,965 new shares, was thus oversubscribed by 62%.

- We are very pleased with this result of the rights issue. It is a huge success for the company and for our employees that our existing shareholders are supporting the business with additional capital and that we can welcome 500 new shareholders. It is the best possible starting point for our plans to accelerate business development and increase production capacity.
