On Thursday 15 May 2025, NP3 announced the successful completion of a directed share issue of 13.7 million preference shares at a price of SEK 28.75 per share, raising gross proceeds of SEK 394 million. The subscription price was determined through an accelerated book building procedure and corresponds to a discount of 3.0% in relation to the volume weighted average price during the last ten trading days.

This is the fourth transaction completed by ABG Sundal Collier in NP3 since 2019. ABG Sundal Collier acted as Joint Coordinator and Bookrunner in the transaction.

On 29 January 2025, the extraordinary general meeting of XXL ASA (“XXL” or the “Company”) resolved a fully underwritten rights issue of 60,000,000 new shares (the “Rights Issue”).

Further, on 14 April 2025, Frasers launched such a mandatory offer at NOK 10.0 per shares (the “Offer”) for all the shares not owned by Frasers. The Offer values the share capital of XXL to approximately NOK 875m. ABG Sundal Collier acted as financial advisor to XXL and its Board of Directors (the “Board”) in evaluating the Offer.
