The interest is due on April 29 2016 and the principal amount is due on May 2 2016. There has been none or very little interest to convert the loans into newly issued shares, and the board of directors assess that it has not been possible to procure a commercially acceptable alternative financing option to repay the loan on the maturity date. In addition, the agreement to raise funds will provide a cash amount of SEK 63 million during May, the board of directors judge it therefore more appropriate to delay the payments in light of the cash situation for the Company at this stage.
The board of directors regrets any inconvenience this may cause the convertible loan holders.
