Instructions to SDR holders who have received Swedish subscription rights in Beowulf:
You can have your SDRs in Beowulf registered in two ways:
- In a securities custody account with a bank or other nominee (for example, Avanza or Nordnet), in an investment savings account (Sw. Investeringssparkonto) or endowment account (Sw. Kapitalförsäkring). Your SDRs are thereby nominee registered.
- In a VP-account (direct registered holding).
If your SDRs are nominee registered, option 1 above.
Usually, you just need to log in to your depository to get instructions on how to subscribe. If you cannot find these instructions, please contact your nominee and they will help you. Please note that in the case of subscription rights being exercised via a bank or a nominee, it is recommended to do so early in the subscription period as banks and nominees may have different deadlines for the subscription deadline.
If your SDRs are directly registered, option 2 above.
Issue statement (pre-printed payment slip),
You have received a pre-printed issue account statement which shows the number of Swedish subscription rights received and the number of new SDRs that can be subscribed for. In case you want to use all Swedish subscription rights received, please manage cash payment in accordance with the payment account statement.

Subscription form with the support of subscription rights
In the event that a different number of subscription rights than what is stated in the pre-printed issue report from Euroclear is used for subscription, the special subscription form must be used.

Any application form that is sent by post should therefore be sent in good time before the last day of subscription. Only one entry form per person or legal entity will be considered. In the event that more than one registration form is submitted, only the last one received will be considered. Incomplete or incorrectly completed special subscription forms may be disregarded. The application is binding.
