GOTHENBURG, Sweden, June 12, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bure Equity (Other OTC:BRVVF):
"Since Bure for obvious reasons cannot exercise the unit rights accruing to repurchased shares, these have been sold on the market. The sale meets the interest in unit rights that exists and facilitates that subscription for these rights occurs in the new issues," says Lennart Svantesson, President of Bure Equity.
Bure has been informed that SEB sold 4,942,900 unit rights for use to subscribe in the ongoing issues of shares and debentures with detachable warrants in Bure.
The unit rights are attributable to the shares SEB acquired in the market when Bure effected the synthetic repurchase of own shares as well as hedging of the stock option program in accordance with the contractual arrangements Bure entered with SEB for these purposes.
