NOVESTRA: 93.4% OF BOOK VALUES CONSTITUTE CASH/ CASH EQUIVALENTS AND STRATEGIC HOLDINGS

Of the total book values at year-end, 93.4% relate to cash/cash equivalents and strategic holdings. The remaining 6.6% corresponding to book values of MSEK 24.3, i.e. approx. SEK 1 per share, constitute holdings in companies which, during this year, AB Novestra intends to sell or in which there will be a complete write- down of values. This process has already begun by the sale of Novestra’s holding in Comintell Holding AB to its founders.

“On account of enquiries at yesterday’s investor presentation, we want to make clear the fact that the strategic holdings now constitute a very large part of our book values and that all of these holdings were either cash flow positive or fully financed at the turn of the year,” says Novestra’s CFO, Nils Bengtsson.
