By Anna Wagner, Analysts & Consensus desk. Reviewed prior to publication on 2026-06-23, 15:12.

Electrolux (SE0016589188) has completed its previously announced rights issue, securing about SEK 9 billion in gross proceeds through a heavily oversubscribed offer to existing shareholders, according to the company’s investor relations communication and a PR Newswire release. New Electrolux shares are expected to be registered on June 23 and start trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on July 1, providing fresh equity backing as the group works through a margin recovery and restructuring phase on the European appliance market.

What Electrolux announced on the rights issue

Electrolux confirmed on June 22 that the final outcome of its rights issue showed an oversubscription level of 135.1 percent, meaning demand clearly exceeded the offered volume of new shares under the subscription rights program for existing investors, as detailed in the company’s final outcome statement and a corresponding PR Newswire release. After completion of the capital increase, the total number of Electrolux shares will rise to 824,070,029 shares, split into 23,777,591 Class A shares and 800,292,438 Class B shares, which remains the main trading line on Nasdaq Stockholm for international investors following the Nordic appliance manufacturer.The PR Newswire communication on the final outcome of the Electrolux rights issue specifies the final gross proceeds and the revised share count in detail.

According to parallel reporting on the European financial data platform MarketScreener, Electrolux will receive approximately SEK 9 billion from the rights issue, providing a significant strengthening of the company’s equity base as it continues to address volatility in demand, cost inflation in components and logistics, and an ongoing program to simplify its global industrial footprint. The same MarketScreener overview, which also references Stuttgart trading in Electrolux shares in euros, points to the strong subscription ratio and indicates that both subscription rights-based orders and requests for allocation without rights could not be fully filled due to the level of oversubscription in this capital increase.The MarketScreener financial data page on Electrolux and its rights issue outcome also records the approximate proceeds and percentage oversubscription for the current capital measure.

How the new shares fit into the trading picture

Electrolux stated that new shares subscribed for via the exercise of subscription rights are expected to be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, Bolagsverket, on June 23, 2026, implying a swift technical completion of the capital increase ahead of the first trading day for the new shares on Nasdaq Stockholm on July 1, 2026. Ordinary shares subscribed for without subscription rights are likewise scheduled to begin trading on Nasdaq Stockholm on July 1, which means that the enlarged share capital and the expanded free float will be fully reflected in the main listing from the start of the second half of 2026, a point of interest for institutional investors tracking Nordic components in European household appliances.

The company also noted that the last day of trading in the paid subscribed shares, referred to in Swedish as betalda tecknade aktier or BTA, will be June 29, 2026, which is a standard step in the transition from interim instruments to the final ordinary shares on the home market exchange. In practice this means that investors who participated in the rights issue via BTA trading will see these instruments converted into regular Electrolux Class B shares around the time when the newly issued equity becomes fully fungible on Nasdaq Stockholm, aligning the rights issue instruments with the main line of the stock that is also referenced on several European trading platforms.
