RASMUSSENGRUPPEN AS (the “Seller”) has, with Pareto Securities AS as Sole Manager and Sole Bookrunner (the “Manager”), executed a block sale of existing shares (the “Offering”) in Nekkar ASA (the “Company”), through a club deal in the pre-sounding phase of the Offering.
The Seller has, as of this announcement, successfully sold 11,512,506 shares in the Company (the “Offer Shares”), which equals approximately 10.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares, at a price of NOK 8.00 per Offer Share, which again equals gross proceeds of approx. NOK 92.1 million.
Following completion of the Offering, the Seller owns no shares in the Company. The Seller’s shareholding in the Company has thus, through the Offering, fallen below both the 10% and 5% disclosure thresholds.
The notification of allocation in the Offering is expected to be communicated on or about 27 September 2024 (T) before 09:00 CEST. The settlement in the Offering is expected to take place on or about 1 October 2024 on a delivery versus payment basis (normal DVP T+2). The Offer Shares will be tradeable on Oslo Børs from T.
The Seller will receive the net proceeds from the Offering. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offering.
