No price stabilization activities have been carried out since the listing, and due to the Company’s share price performance, the Joint Global Coordinators have decided to end the stabilization period. Following the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, EQT will remain the largest shareholder in Dometic and will own 57% of the total number of shares in the Company.
