Accordingly all shareholders will hold shares corresponding to a full number of new shares and there will be no excess shares (so-called fractions) at the time of the reverse share split. Göran Lundgren has also undertaken to round off his remaining shareholdings in the Company downwards to the closest number evenly divisible by 10.
