Lifco AB withdraws its offer to the shareholders of NOTE AB (publ)
The acceptance period for the offer from Lifco to the shareholders of NOTE expired on 23 January 2013. At the end of the acceptance period, 4,258,619 shares, corresponding to 14.7 per cent of the shares and votes, in NOTE had been tendered in the offer.
The completion of the offer was conditional upon, inter alia, that it was accepted to such an extent that Lifco would become the owner of more than 90 per cent of the shares in NOTE. This condition has not been fulfilled. Lifco has therefore decided to withdraw the offer.
The shares tendered in the offer will not be acquired by Lifco, but will remain in the possession of the respective holders without any action on their part.
