Vis børsmeldingen
Based on received subscriptions at the expiry of the subscription period in the Subsequent Offering, a total of 3,375,000 new shares were allocated in accordance with the allocation criteria set out in the prospectus for the Subsequent Offering. The reduced number of shares allocated is a consequence of the restriction in the allocation criteria that no shareholder should be allocated more than its approximate pro-rata share of the aggregate number of shares issued under the Private Placement and the Subsequent Offering. As a result, the Company will issue 3,375,000 new shares at NOK 6.10 per share, raising gross proceeds of NOK 20,587,500.
Notification of allocated offer shares in the Subsequent Offering and the corresponding amount to be paid by each subscriber will be set out in a separate letter to each subscriber, which is expected to be issued during the course of today, 30 April 2021. The payment date for the offer shares allocated is 5 May 2021.
The offer shares may not be transferred or traded until they are fully paid and the share capital increase related to the subsequent offering has been registered with Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. Subject to full payment being received, the share capital increase is expected to be registered on or about 7 May 2021. The Offer Shares are expected to be delivered to the subscribers’ respective VPS accounts on or about 7 May 2021 and be tradeable on Oslo Stock Exchange on or about 7 May 2021.
Following the issuance of the offer shares in the Subsequent Offering, the Company’s share capital will be NOK 9.592.258.30 divided into 95,922,583 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.1. See the attached form for notification and publication of allocation to primary insiders.
