Oslo, 26 desember 2024
Det vises til børsmeldingen publisert av Aega ASA (“Aega” eller “Selskapet”) 23. desember 2024 om at generalforsamlingen har fattet vedtak om gjennomføring av en fortrinnsrettsemisjon med bruttoproveny på inntil NOK 10 millioner og en rettet plassering av et konvertibelt lån på inntil NOK 2 millioner (“Kapitalinnhentingen”). Selskapet kunngjør herved at det har bevilget NOK 2 millioner i et konvertibelt lån (det “Konvertible Lånet”). Det Konvertible Lånet har en rente på 18 %. Långiverne kan konvertere deres respektive andel av det Konvertible Lånets hovedstol til aksjer mot en tegningskurs på NOK 0,50, i tråd med vanlige betingelser og vilkår, fra og med 31. desember 2024. Tegningskursen er gjenstand for justering blant annet slik at den vil tilsvare pålydende på Selskapets aksjer og vil være NOK 0,01 ved gjennomføring av en kapitalnedsettelse som vedtatt av generalforsamlingen.
Lånet er ment å sikre kortsiktig likviditet til dekning av kostnader i perioden frem mot gjennomføring av fortrinnsrettsemisjonen.
Styret har vurdert det Konvertible Lånet i lys av forpliktelsen til likebehandling etter verdipapirhandelloven, reglene om likebehandling etter Regelbok II for selskaper notert på Oslo Børs og Oslo Børs’ retningslinjer for reglene om likebehandling. Gjennomføring av den rettede emisjonen av det Konvertible Lånet innebærer et avvik fra eksisterende aksjonærers fortrinnsrett til å tegne og få tildelt et beløp av det Konvertible Lånet. Styret har nøye vurdert disse avvikene og har besluttet at den rettede emisjonen av det Konvertible Lånet er i Selskapets og dets aksjonærers beste interesse. Ved å strukturere kapitalinnhentingen som rettede tildelinger av et konvertibelt lån vil Selskapet være i posisjon til å skaffe kapital på en effektiv måte. Selskapet har tatt kontakt med de største aksjeeierne vedrørende lånet, i tillegg til et antall potensielle nye investorer. Gjennom innkallingen ble også alle aksjeeiere gitt mulighet til å utrykke sin interesse for å delta i lånet og vedtak om utstedelse av lånet er truffet av aksjeeierne i generalforsamling.
Selaco AS, selskapets største aksjonær, bidrar med NOK 1 000 000 i det konvertible lånet.
