The subscription period in AB Electrolux (“Electrolux Group” or the “Group”) fully underwritten rights issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”), ended on June 16, 2026. The preliminary outcome shows that the Rights Issue has been oversubscribed.

The preliminary outcome indicates that 530,010,351 shares, corresponding to approximately 98.0 percent of the offered shares, have been subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights. Additionally, notification of subscription without subscription rights of 214,586,937 shares, corresponding to approximately 39.7 percent of the offered shares, have been received.
