Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

 

Since the filing of Amendment No. 5, Atlas acquired an additional 998,831 SDRs for an aggregate purchase price of SEK 171,734,351.37 (excluding commissions). These purchases were financed through loans from Atlas Investissement.

 

Additionally, on July 19, 2023, Atlas Investissement amended the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Amendment”) initially entered into with a syndicate of lenders on February 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Loan Amendment (amongst other modifications), the amount Atlas Investissement may borrow under the Loan Agreement increased by an amount of EUR 100,000,000.00 to an aggregate of EUR 550,000,000.00. The foregoing description of the Loan Amendment and/or the Loan Agreement (as amended pursuant to the Loan Amendment) does not purport to be complete and further information is available in such documents that are attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Items 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) and (b) The percentage of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D is based on 171,600,783 Common Shares outstanding (based on 172,096,305 Common Shares outstanding as of the date hereof, less 495,522 Common Shares held in treasury, as set forth on the Issuer's website on the date hereof).

As of the date hereof, Atlas beneficially owns 42,820,472 SDRs, which may be exchanged for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis.
