Hvem tok emisjonen? Vet vi noe om det?
Oslo, Norway – May 26th, 2016 – Funcom, the independent developer and publisher of computer and console games, today announced that the company has received a 6.3 million USD private placement investment. The company has also significantly reduced its debt by 7.7 million USD through a debt conversion process that has no cash impact on the company. As a result, the company’s equity has been greatly improved from -10 million USD to more than +4 million USD. The investment ensures a considerably healthier financial situation for the company that allows it to execute its new strategy, secure development on new titles, and continue to support its portfolio of live online games.
“This investment is a major turning point for the company,” said Funcom CEO Rui Casais. “Funcom has been making great games for more than twenty-three years, but it is no secret that the company has had a strained financial situation in recent years that made it challenging to fully realize our new strategy and get back on the right track. This investment allows us to finally do that.”
Funcom has been working since last year on preparing the company for its new strategy. Going forward, Funcom is focusing on developing both smaller and larger scale games simultaneously in both Oslo and North Carolina, and aims to experiment with new ideas, technologies, and business models on the smaller projects that will serve to benefit the larger projects. The first of these smaller games was ‘The Park’ which allowed the company to experiment with new technologies and acquire key knowledge on how to successfully launch on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
Funcom’s largest project is currently ‘Conan Exiles’, an open-world survival game that will launch into Early Access during late summer 2016. The company announced last year that it has entered into a new partnership with Conan Properties making it the preferred partner for all PC and console games based on the ‘Conan the Barbarian’ brand, the first of which is ‘Conan Exiles’.
The company’s strengthened financial situation also allows it to continue supporting and expanding its current live games. Funcom has one of the longest-running portfolio of online games in the industry, with ‘Anarchy Online’ currently going on its fifteen years in operation, ‘Age of Conan’ on its eighth year, and ‘The Secret World’ just about to celebrate its fourth anniversary.

Kan Jebsen ha tatt en del av emisjonen og selger seg ned nå så han slipper budplikt (og frigjør kapital)?
du trodde jo at det ikke ble trangt ut døren også
Nah, måtte vel ha komt mld ang det med r gang da ?
dette var jo overkill deluxe
Prøvde å ringe han jeg har hatt kontakt med i ASC men han ville ikke snakke med meg. Hvis det ikke er en stor aktør som har tatt dette så er det relativt useriøst når det er flere her inne som ikke har blitt kontaktet.
NEO har solgt nesten 2M aksjer, er jo bare en som har så mye
De nye aksjene er ikke ute enda
“The New Shares and the Conversion Shares will
initially be issued on a separate ISIN pending
approval by the Netherlands Authority for the
Financial Markets of a listing prospectus and
publication of the same. Such prospectus is expected
to be approved and published on or around 10 June
2016. Following approval of the prospectus, the New
Shares and Conversion Shares will be converted to the
same ISIN as the Company’s existing Shares and thus
listed on Oslo Børs and made tradable.”
Kan jo være noen av de som har vært med på emisjonen som shorter også. Selge på 1kr når man har fått aksjene på 0.55kr er grei deal.
Ja hvis Jebsen har lånt ut
Stakkars de som skal på visning med meg i dag. De er ikke trygge
Helt sykt at de kjører emisjonen såpass mye under det nivået de kunne klart. Kunne fått minst dobbelt så mye.
Så lenge NEO selger på rundt 1kr så tror jeg det er greit å holde seg vekke fra aksjen…
Hva var det jeg sa
Tror du de har 95 millioner aksjer å bli kvitt?
Tror det er lurt å se Ann over noen dager nå, ver obs tvangssalg i morgen
Jeg har valgt å ikke kjøpe noe enda etter denne meldingen om emisjonskurs på 0,55. Føler nå at 1kr er i det meste laget. Jeg tror og tar i sikte mot å kjøpe noen Funcom aksjer når kursen nærmer seg 0.70-0.80 i løpet av sommeren
Blir spennende å se aksjonærlista framover om ikke annet
Nei maks 24.5mill
Jeg tror du kan ha rett, jeg kjøpte aksjer for lommerusk på 1,05, og hadde tenkt å gi meg der, men hvis vi kommer ned til 0,70, så er det fristende å øke litt.
Har det vært “regler” tidligere på ikke å selge under visse kursen?
