Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO INVISIO Communications, comments:
” During the year´s first quarter we saw a good order intake and we received the second largest single order ever for our professional products. Due to long lead times on certain components, several planned deliveries were delayed and therefore sales during the quarter were lower than expected. The order book for our professional products was however the second highest ever at the end of the quarter.”

- The Board for INVISIO Communications AB has on April 19, 2012, decided to carry out a share issue with shareholder precedence to TAMT AB of a maximum of
2 500 000 shares, corresponding to about 7.4 percent of the total currently outstanding shares. Through the emission, the Company’s share capital will increase with SEK 2 500 000. The subscription price is SEK 3.10 per share. The share issue provides the Company with a total of SEK 7 750 000. There are no share issue costs. In addition to the share issue, INVISIO has received a loan guarantee from Yggdrasil AB of SEK 5.0 m. Yggdrasil controls 8.7 percent of the shares and votes in INVISIO and the potential loan would therefore be regarded as a related party transaction.
