A limited portion of the common stock offered in the common stock offering will be delivered to a depositary which will then issue Swedish Depository Receipts, or SDRs, with each SDR representing one share of our common stock. During the offering process and for a certain period thereafter, the ability of holders of common stock to convert their common stock into SDRs has been temporarily suspended. The suspension went into effect as of May 20, 2019. Following the completion of the offering, the Company intends to register a prospectus with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw.Finansinspektionen) (SFSA) and lift the suspension. While this is expected to occur in mid to late June, delays may occur. The Company will cover the deposit fee charged by SEB, but no other fees, for conversion of common stock into SDRs for the 30 day period following the publication of the Swedish prospectus.
Veoneer intends to use the net proceeds from the common stock offering and concurrent convertible notes offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Each offering is being made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of the prospectus related to each offering, when available, may be obtained from Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10014, Attention: Prospectus Department.
