Thus, the Company received orders for a total of 3,229,450 shares equal to an oversubscription of 2.1x the Minimum Offering and 1.5x the Maximum Offering.
In addition to the Offering, 4,629,630 new shares were pre-subscribed for in the Private Placement at a price of DKK 16.20 per share corresponding to a capital raise of DKK 75 million.
