@all Thanks for your help. I looked at this on the Internet and the same question is asked again and again but in round about ways like which one is right; Pay Cash or Pay in Cash
And the answers vary as doe the interpretations of the phrases. I'm going to choose "In cash" and take it as "no other securities, exchange notes, bonds etc. were used to pay for the shares but the voting shows that even translators are not clear on this alas.

Kontant Kontant = cash (real cash) in the form of original currency notes, coins.

kontant v. kontanter We should perhaps also bear in mind the distinction between "kontant" payment, payment "in cash", not in kind, and "kontanter", which is cash in the sense of banknotes and coins.

In Cash "In cash" fits the context here, but 'cash' is better as the generic term - see the latest in https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/feb/27/comcast-murdoc...

Cash as opposed to kind A bank transfer would also be "in cash", as opposed to payment in kind, i.e. in this case shares, who have a face value, but whose trading value could go up and/or down.

@ Sven and Agneta Hello

I don't know Swedish law but due to anti money laundering legislation in general, I had rejected any idea of paying such a large amount "in cash". Do you really mean "in cash" as opposed to a bank transfer for instance?
