Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 10 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

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. 9, Atlas acquired an additional 1,523,866 SDRs for an aggregate purchase price of SEK 268,367,782.41 (excluding commissions). These purchases were financed through additional loans from Atlas Investissement.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On May 31, 2023, Atlas entered into a Rule 10b5-1 SDR Purchase Mandate, as previously described in Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D. On January 12, 2024, the SDR Purchase Mandate terminated pursuant to its terms.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

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 171,447,650 Common Shares outstanding as of January 5, 2024 (based on 172,096,305 Common Shares outstanding, less 648,655 Common Shares held in treasury, as set forth in the last relevant update available on the date hereof in the “Financial News” section of the Issuer's website).

 

The aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

As of January 15, 2024, Atlas beneficially owned 49,966,734 SDRs, which may be exchanged for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis.

 

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person (other than Atlas to the extent it directly holds the securities reported herein) is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

 

(c) Except as described in this Schedule 13D or Annex B attached hereto, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in Common Shares during the past sixty days.
