The lenders are given the right, starting from the first disbursement, to twice call for the conversion of debt into equity, in directed new share issues, at a subscription price amounting to 10 percent discount to the volume-weighted share price during the 15 trading days preceding the call. A short selling ban is in place, and the conversions are restricted to not more than SEK 15 million per conversion (i.e. not more than SEK 30 million in total).
