Exercise of the over-allotment option in the IPO of TF Bank and end of stabilisation period

Carnegie Investment Bank AB and ABG Sundal Collier AB (jointly the “Banks”) have notified TF Bank AB (publ) (“TF Bank”) and the selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders[1]”) that the over-allotment option has been exercised in respect of 812,919 shares in TF Bank and that the stabilisation period has ended.

In connection with the initial public offering of TF Bank, the Selling Shareholders granted the Banks a so-called over-allotment option of up to 849,126 shares, to be used to cover the so-called over-allotment of shares. During the stabilisation, which ran for 30 days from the first day of trading in the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm the stabilisation has been carried out to the prices outlined below. Accordingly, 36,207 of the shares in TF Bank that the Banks borrowed from the Selling Shareholders with the purpose of covering the overallotment in connection with the initial public offering will be re-delivered to the Selling Shareholders. The stabilisation period has now ended and no further stabilisation transactions will be carried out.

Matters discussed in this announcement may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “should” and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, such as no changes in existing political, legal, fiscal, market or economic conditions or in applicable legislation, regulations or rules (including, but not limited to, accounting policies, accounting treatments and tax policies), which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the results of operations of TF Bank or its ability to operate its banking businesses and that TF Bank does not become a party to any legal or administrative processes that may have a material effect on TF Bank. Although TF Bank believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause actual events to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in this release by such forward-looking statements. In addition, the information, opinions, targets and forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are not guarantees of future financial performance and the actual results of TF Bank could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
