During the quarter , the majority of the Group's businesses were closed . However , the activity arenas STAR Bowling and Ballbreaker and the event companies Minnesota Communication and Hansen have been doing some business during the quarter , but to a significantly lesser extent than equivalent period during pandemic - free years . Happily enough , the easing of restrictions announced during the latter part of the quarter enabled tickets sales to begin for the summer performance at Vallarna's outdoor theatre in Falkenberg , albeit only for one third of the arena's capacity . Furthermore , easing made it possible to remain open longer in the activity arenas in June and also meant that marketing and ticket sales to the autumn performance could begin with a degree of optimism . All parts of the financing solution negotiated in November 2020 are now in place and the new shares issues registered . The number of shares and votes increased during the quarter following implementation of the rights issue of 248,412,949 shares and the targeted issue of 151,207,882 new shares as resolved at the extraordinary shareholders meeting of 29 January 2021. In addition , the execution of 1,562,904 share warrants increased the number of shares and votes by the corresponding amount . From these three emissions , the company received a liquidity inflow of SEK 53.4 million before issue expenses . The total number of shares and votes in the company is 433,585,424 with a registered share capital of SEK 54,198,178 . The Annual Report for 2020 was published on 8 April 2021 . The AGM was held on 4 May 2021 by postal vote where , in accordance with the dividends policy , it was resolved that no dividend would take place as earnings for 2020 were negative . SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD A successful summer performance première at Vallarna's outdoor theatre took place on 4 July with a maximum audience of one third the usual number of tickets available per show .
