Investor AB supports Saab's planned rights issue
Saab today communicated a rights issue during the fourth quarter of about SEK 6 bn. Investor AB supports the company’s intention.
“Saab is in a strong growth phase, with several major development projects in the order book. Recently the U.S. Air Force communicated its order of the T-X trainer aircraft, developed by Saab and Boeing. By strengthening its balance sheet, Saab will have the resources necessary to continue to develop these projects, invest in R&D, and create financial capacity for additional significant orders. As an engaged owner, we support our companies in sustainable value creation. Investor believes that the proposed rights issue will create long-term value for Saab”, comments Investor President and CEO Johan Forssell.
Investor AB’s ownership in Saab amounts to 30.0 percent of the capital (30.7 percent excluding repurchased shares).
