NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
Reference is made to previous stock exchange announcements from Flyr AS (“Flyr”
or the “Company”) regarding a fully underwritten rights issue of 263,157,894 new
shares in the Company (the “Offer Shares”), raising gross proceeds of NOK 250
million (the “Rights Issue”).
The subscription period in the Rights Issue starts today, 7 January 2022, at
09.00 CET. Certain information about the Rights Issue is set out below. The
complete terms and conditions of the Rights Issue are set out in the Prospectus
(as defined below).
Arctic Securities AS, Carnegie AS and Sparebank 1 Markets AS are acting as
managers for the Rights Issue (jointly, the “Managers”).
Allocation and grant of Subscription Rights
The holders of the Company’s shares as of 4 January 2022 ((the “Existing
Shareholders” and the “Existing Shares”, respectively), as registered with the
Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the “VPS”) as of 6 January 2022 (the
“Record Date”)) have been granted transferable subscription rights (the
“Subscription Rights”) in the Rights Issue that, subject to applicable law,
provide preferential rights to subscribe for, and be allocated, Offer Shares at
the subscription price of NOK 0.95 per Offer Share (the “Subscription Price”).
Each Existing Shareholder has been granted 1.754386 Subscription Rights for each
Existing Share registered as held by the Existing Shareholder at the Record
Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. The Subscription
Rights will be distributed free of charge to the Existing Shareholders.
Each whole Subscription Right will, subject to applicable law, give the right to
subscribe for, and be allocated, one Offer Share. Over-subscription by holders
of Subscription Rights will be permitted, however, there can be no assurance
that Offer Shares will be allocated for such subscriptions. The Underwriters (as
defined below) will have a preferential right to subscribe for and be allocated
Offer Shares that have not been subscribed for based on allocated or acquired
Subscription Rights. Other than subscriptions from the Underwriters,
subscription in the Rights Issue without Subscription Rights is not permitted.
The grant or purchase of Subscription Rights and the subscription of Offer
Shares by persons resident in, or who are citizens of countries other than
Norway, may be affected by laws of the relevant jurisdiction. For a further
description of such restrictions, reference is made to Section 15.8
“Subscription Rights” and Section 16 “Selling and Transfer Restrictions” in the
prospectus prepared by the Company and dated 6 January 2022 (the “Prospectus”).
The Prospectus is, subject to applicable local securities laws, available at the
websites of; (i) the Company (www.flyr.com/investor), (ii) Arctic Securities AS
(Offerings - Arctic Securities AS), (iii) Carnegie AS
(Ongoing prospectuses and offerings: - Carnegie Norway), and (iv)
Sparebank 1 Markets AS (https://www.sb1markets.no).
Subscription period
The subscription period commences today on 7 January 2022 and expires on 21
January 2022 at 16.30 CET (the “Subscription Period”). The Subscription Period
may not be shortened, but the Board of Directors of the Company may extend the
Subscription Period if this is required by law as a result of the publication of
a supplemental prospectus.
Subscription Rights
The Subscription Rights will be listed and tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo from
7 January 2022 to 19 January 2022 at 16.30 CET, under the ticker “FLYRT”. The
Subscription Rights will hence only be tradable during part of the Subscription
Period.
Persons intending to trade in Subscription Rights should be aware that trading
in, and exercise of, Subscription Rights by holders who are located in
jurisdictions outside of Norway may be restricted or prohibited by applicable
securities laws. See Section 16 “Selling and Transfer Restrictions” in the
Prospectus for further information. Subscription Rights that are not used to
subscribe for Offer Shares before the expiry of the Subscription Period on 21
January 2022 at 16.30 CET or sold before 19 January 2022 at 16.30 CET will have
no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
The Subscription Rights are expected to have economic value if the Company’s
shares trade above the Subscription Price during the Subscription Period.
Existing Shareholders who do not use their Subscription Rights will experience a
dilution of their shareholding in the Company, as further detailed in Section
15.19 “Dilution” of the Prospectus.
Subscription Price
The Subscription Price is NOK 0.95 per Offer Share.
Subscription procedure
Subscriptions for Offer Shares may either be made through the VPS online
subscription system or by submitting a correctly completed subscription form to
one of the Managers within the Subscription Period.
Subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification
number are encouraged to subscribe for Offer Shares through the Norwegian VPS’
online subscription system (or by following the link on
Offerings - Arctic Securities AS, https://www.carnegie.no/ongoing
-prospectuses-and-offerings/ or https://www.sb1markets.no, which will redirect
the subscriber to the VPS online subscription system). All online subscribers
must verify that they are Norwegian residents by entering their national
identity number (Nw.: fødselsnummer). Subscriptions made through the VPS online
subscription system must be duly registered before the expiry of the
Subscription Period.
Subscribers that are not able to use the VPS online subscription system must
submit a correctly completed subscription form to one of the Managers during the
Subscription Period. The subscription form is attached to the Prospectus. Postal
and e-mail addresses to the Managers are included in Section 15.10 “Subscription
procedures” of the Prospectus.
The Underwriting
Pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated 8 November 2021, the participants in
the underwriting syndicate for the Rights Issue (the “Underwriters”) have, on a
firm commitment basis, undertaken, severally and not jointly, and otherwise on
the terms and conditions set out in the underwriting agreement, to fully
underwrite the Rights Issue, i.e. with an aggregate amount of NOK 250 million
(the “Underwriting Obligation”).
Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, each Underwriter shall receive an
underwriting commission equal to 3% of their respective underwriting obligation.
The Underwriting Obligation will expire in the event that the Underwriters are
not notified of any conditional allocation under the Underwriting Obligation
within 1 February 2022.
See Section 15.20 “The Underwriting” in the Prospectus for further information
about the Underwriters.
Financial Intermediaries
If an Existing Shareholder holds shares in the Company registered through a
financial intermediary on the Record Date, the financial intermediary will
customarily give the Existing Shareholder details of the aggregate number of
Subscription Rights to which it will be entitled. The relevant financial
intermediary will customarily supply each Existing Shareholder with this
information in accordance with its usual customer relations procedures. Existing
Shareholders holding their Existing Shares through a financial intermediary
should contact the financial intermediary if they have received no information
with respect to the Rights Issue.
Allocation of Offer Shares - Listing and commencement of trading in the Offer
Shares
Following expiry of the Subscription Period, the Offer Shares will be allocated
to subscribers in accordance with the allocation principle described in Section
15.13 “Allocation of the Offer Shares” in the Prospectus. Payment for allocated
Offer Shares falls due on 25 January 2022.
Subject to timely payment of the entire subscription amount in the Rights Issue,
the Company expects that the share capital increase pertaining to the Rights
Issue will be registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on
or about 1 February 2022 and that allocated Offer Shares will be delivered to
the VPS accounts of the subscribers, and be tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo, on
or about the same day.
