Should such information or statement nevertheless be provided or be made it should not be considered to have been approved by Kungsleden, and Kungsleden is not responsible for such information or statements.

The Securities are being offered outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. A public offering will not be made in the United States.

Up until 40 days after the initiating of the rights issue, an offer or a transfer of Securities within the United States made by a securities broker (regard- less of whether such securities broker participates in the rights issue or not) may imply a breach of the registration requirements in the Securities Act. The Securities have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), any state regulatory authority in the United States or any other U.S. regulatory authority nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering or the accuracy or adequacy of this document.

Forward-looking information The prospectus contains certain forward-looking information that reflects Kungsleden’s present view of future events as well as financial and operational development. Words such as “intend”, “assess”, “expect”, “may”, “plan”, “believe”, “estimate” and other expressions entailing indications or predictions of future development or trends, not based on historical facts, constitute forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is inherently asso- ciated with both known and unknown risks and uncertainties as it depends on future events and circumstances. Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future results or development and actual outcomes may differ materially from the statements set forth in the forward-looking information. Factors that may cause Kungsleden’s future results and development to differ from the forward-looking information include, among others, those described in Risk factors. The forward-looking information contained in this prospectus applies only as at the date of this prospectus. Kungsleden does not undertake any obligation to publicly announce any update or change in the forward-looking information as a result of new information, future events or similar circumstances other than as required by applicable laws and regulations. Presentation of financial information Certain financial and other information presented in the prospectus has been rounded off in order to make the information more accessible for the reader.
