AB Novestra has decided to bring forward the announcement of the company’s
Q3 report to October 14, 2003 (previously announced to be released on October 21, 2003) due to that the subscription period in Novestra’s current preferential rights issue ends on October 17, 2003. The last day for trading in subscription rights is October 14, 2003.
“We believe it is important that our shareholders receive an update in connection with the rights issue and receive information regarding the short-term results as well as the development in the non-public portfolio companies that, as previously communicated, have experienced a positive development during the last quarter,” Novestra’s Managing Director, Peter Ekelund, says.
