Småaksjonerer vil tape parallelt med at ulven vinner. Ser rimelig sikkert ut pr nå.

Tror du JF har gitt opp denne casen?

Dongchali · oktober 20, 2023, 6:01pm

Vi får se. Ingenting som er banket igjennom enda. Er nok med hensikt å sende ut en forvirrende børsmelding. Håper det kan være en fordel å være inne om det skulle bli noe av en evt emi, lite konkret enda så vi får bare avvente mer informasjon. 20-25% av aksjene byttet hender idag, så har JF 40%. Kommer til å svinge mye denne så lenge det kun er grovt 18 mill aksjer og meget stor interesse, tar jo litt tid dette og de skal vel bruke endel av de 80-90 mill de har igjen øremerket for saken først. Kan jo skje mye på et forhandlingsbord underveis om man dokumenterer grove uregelmessigheter…tydelig at de har troen på en kamp enten den ene eller andre veien.

Du har rett, blir spennende fremover?

Dongchali · oktober 20, 2023, 7:49pm

Ja, siste ord er ikke sagt her. Og Nodl vil etter alle solemerker gå hardt etter pengene de har utestående. Og får de først rett ved å bevise grove uregelmessigheter så vil de nok likeså gå etter mer enn bare 180 mill usd og de 50 mill usd ( 2 saker + renter og bryderi) Time will tell, ingenting som er hugd i stein da for å si det sånn. Kursen vil nok svinge mye enn sålenge saken er under oppseiling og ingenting konkret mtp hvor langt de kommer før en evt emi er på plass osv. Hvordan det spiller seg ut er langt ifra banket i den meldingen full av uro. Tar et godt bet her nå framover, ingen vinner noe uten å ta noen sjanser😅 Man må seff være forsiktig å posisjonere seg fornuftig kursmessig, håper og tror på at de som er med hele veien kommer godt utav det sammen med JF og co…

NODL: Contemplated private placement

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Northern Drilling Ltd. (the “Company”) on 19 October 2023 regarding an update on the Company’s financing situation and its intention to appeal on a point of law and to challenge on grounds of serious irregularity the arbitration tribunal’s awards in the arbitration proceedings with Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd. (together, the “Appeals Process”). In said announcement, the Company advised that it requires funds to pursue the Appeals Process. It was also announced that, as a general rule, there are limited grounds to appeal arbitration awards, and permission of the court will be required for an appeal on a point of law to be made.
…

Vis børsmeldingen

The Company is hereby announcing that it is contemplating a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of new shares (the “Offer Shares”), raising gross proceeds of up to USD 3.5 million. The Private Placement is directed solely towards existing shareholders of the Company and subject to and in compliance with applicable exemptions from relevant prospectus or registration requirements. The Company has engaged SpareBank 1 Markets AS to act as its sole manager and bookrunner in the Private Placement (the “Manager”).

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to partly fund costs associated with the Appeals Process. The Board is of the opinion that the Company will need more funding for the Appeals Process, and intends to raise such capital in several equity transactions, of which the Private Placement is the first. A court decision on the challenge on grounds of serious irregularity and on whether to grant permission to appeal on a point of law is, at this early stage, anticipated to be in the first quarter of 2024 and if permission to appeal on a point of law is granted, the final decision on the appeal is expected in the second or third quarter of 2024.

The subscription price will be set through an accelerated bookbuilding process. The application period for the Private Placement will start today, 24 October 2023 at 09:00 (CEST) and is expected to close no later than 25 October 2023 at 16:30 (CEST). The Company reserves the right to close or extend the application period at any time at its sole discretion, at short notice. The minimum order size and allocation in the Private Placement will be the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000, provided that the Company may, at its sole discretion, offer and allocate an amount below EUR 100,000, pursuant to any applicable exemptions from applicable prospectus requirements being available.

The Company’s largest shareholder, Hemen Holding Ltd. (“Hemen”), is supportive of the transaction and intends to subscribe for at least its pro-rata shareholding of approx. 40.63%.
Allocation of Offer Shares will be made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors in consultation with the Manager after expiry of the application period, subject to any shortening or extension of the application period.

The payment date and delivery date of the Offer Shares is expected to be on or about 9 November 2023, which is the date after the Company is scheduled to convene a Special General Meeting (“SGM”) resolving to reduce the par value of the Company’s shares from USD 1 to USD 0.01. Consequently, any Offer Shares will be issued with a par value of USD 0.01.

Completion of the Private Placement is conditional upon the necessary corporate resolutions being validly made by the Company, including without limitation approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Offer Shares having been fully paid and validly issued, and the approval by the SGM of the proposed reduction of the par value of the Company’s shares. The Company and the Manager reserve the right, at any time and for any reason, to cancel and/or modify the terms of the Private Placement.

Listing of the Offer Shares in the Private Placement will require a listing prospectus. Consequently, the Offer Shares will be registered under a separate ISIN pending approval and publication of a listing prospectus by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the “NFSA”) and the Offer Shares will not be listed or tradable on Oslo Børs until such listing prospectus has been approved by the NFSA and been published by the Company.

The Company has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment obligations under applicable regulations and is of the opinion that the waiver of the preferential rights inherent in a private placement, taking into consideration the time, costs and risk of alternative methods of the securing the desired funding, is in the common interest of the shareholders of the Company.
The Company may, subject to completion of the Private Placement, consider conducting a subsequent share offering of new shares (the “Subsequent Offering”). If carried out, the size and structure of the Subsequent Offering shall be in line with market practice. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to not conduct or cancel the Subsequent Offering.

Hoho… 1.2MNOK minimum tegning. Her skal det sikres overtegning blant Hemen og sine allierte/venner.

Hvordan skal man håndtere pro-rata blant de mindre aksjonærene egentlig? At man må stille med sikkerhet for 1.2MNOK men får mest sannsynlig et mye lavere antall aksjer?

NORTHERN DRILLING LTD. (NODL) – DISCLOSURE OF SHAREHOLDINGS

Dongchali · oktober 24, 2023, 9:38pm

En rettet emisjon hvor mindre aksjonærer blir tilsidesatt er blitt regelen framfor unntaket. Likebehandling eksisterer ikke, gamet er rigget for de rike. Hva tror du om emisjonskurs nå, trenger ikke nødvendigvis å bli satt så lavt som mange tror? Tok en tlf med Spb1markets som er tilrettelegger idag, forsto det slik at det ganske sikkert kommer en rep-emi. Og…vil ikke en mulig tilbudsplikt slå inn hvis Hemen går over 50%? Emisjon kom raskt etter kursfall som i alle tilfeller virket til å være målet. Rettet emi hyperraskt i god tid før generalforsamling hvor Nodl skal stemme over å sette ned pålydende…

Rekkefølgen stusset jeg også over Satt her og vurderte en kort stund om jeg også skulle ringe / melde min interesse. Men vet ærlig talt ikke om jeg gidder låse meg fast med et såvidt høyt beløp i et relativt illikvid papir. Størrelsen på min posisjon er veldig begrenset fra før.

Jeg tror fortsatt dette er en finte hvor Fredriksen kommer å bli sittende med mest mulig men han gjør neppe noe nå. Dette kommer nok å ta tid og jeg tipper videre han gambler på exhaustion blant sånne som meg og at han på et punkt i fremtiden kan utløse tilbudsplikt «out of The blue» på en pris som alt i alt er spiselig for han.

Jeg vet ikke - men at NODL er i spill er det liten tvil om.

NODL: PRIVATE PLACEMENT SUCCESSFULLY SUBSCRIBED, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDER MEETING OF SHARE CAPITAL REDUCTION

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Reference is made to the stock exchange release by Northern Drilling Ltd. (the “Company”) on 24 October 2023 regarding the intention to carry out a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of new shares in the Company. Reference is further made to the stock exchange announcement made by the Company on 19 October 2023 regarding an update on the Company’s financing situation and its intention to appeal on a point of law and to challenge on grounds of serious irregularity the arbitration tribunal’s awards in the arbitration proceedings with Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd. (together, the “Appeals Process”).
…

Vis børsmeldingen

The Company today announces that the Private Placement has been successfully placed, and that it has conditionally allocated 313,600,000 new shares (the “New Shares”) at a subscription price per New Share of NOK 0.125 (the “Subscription Price”), raising approx. NOK 39.2 million in gross proceeds. The completion of the Private Placement and allocation and subscription of shares remain subject to the approval by a special general meeting (“SGM”) of the Company of a proposed reduction of the par value of the Company’s shares to USD 0.01. The SGM is scheduled to be held on 7 November 2023.

Subject to completion, the net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to partly fund costs associated with the Appeals Process. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) is of the opinion that the Company will need more funding for the Appeals Process, and intends to raise such capital in several equity transactions following the Private Placement. A court decision on the challenge on grounds of serious irregularity and on whether to grant permission to appeal on a point of law is, at this early stage, anticipated to be in the first quarter of 2024 and if permission to appeal on a point of law is granted, the final decision on the appeal is expected in the second or third quarter of 2024.

Notification of conditional allocation and settlement instructions for the Private Placement are expected to be issued by the Manager (as defined below) to applicants on 26 October 2023.
Settlement of the New Shares allocated in the Private Placement is expected to take place on or about 9 November 2023 on delivery versus payment basis by delivery of New Shares.

Listing of the New Shares will require a listing prospectus. The New Shares will be registered under a separate ISIN pending approval by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (the “NFSA”), and publication by the Company, of such prospectus, and the New Shares will not be listed or tradeable on Oslo Børs until the prospectus has been approved by the NFSA and been published by the Company.

Following issuance of the New Shares and the SGM, the Company will have an issued share capital of USD 3,329,478.23 divided into 332,947,823 ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of USD 0.01.
The Company’s largest shareholder, Hemen Holding, was allocated 306,110,052 New Shares, and will, subject to completion of the Private Placement, hold 313,971,440 shares, corresponding to approx. 94.3% ownership following the Private Placement. Completion of the Private Placement will consequently lead to Hemen crossing the mandatory offer threshold. In said case, Hemen has advised the Company that it intends to make an announcement pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Act section 6-8 to the effect that it will make a mandatory offer pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Act chapter 6.

The Board, together with the Company’s management and SpareBank 1 Markets AS (the “Manager”), has considered various transaction alternatives to secure new financing. Based on an overall assessment, considering inter alia the need for funding, execution risk and possible alternatives, the Board has on the basis of careful considerations decided that the Private Placement is the alternative that best protects the Company’s and the shareholders’ joint interests. Thus, the waiver of the preferential rights inherent in a directed share capital increase through issuance of new shares is considered necessary.

The Board will consider carrying out a subsequent offering of up to 32,000,000 new shares towards the Company’s shareholders as of 25 October 2023 (as documented by the shareholder register in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) as of the end of 27 October 2023) who i) are registered as holder of less than 150,000 shares; (ii) not allocated shares in the Private Placement; and (iii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway, would require any filing, registration or similar action (the “Subsequent Offering”). The subscription price in the Subsequent Offering will be equal to the subscription price in the Private Placement. The Subsequent Offering is subject to the prevailing market price of the Company’s shares following the Private Placement. The Board may decide that the Subsequent Offering will not be carried out in the event that the Company’s shares trade below the subscription price in the Subsequent Offering at adequate volumes.

SpareBank 1 Markets AS acted as sole bookrunner in the Private Placement. Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS acted as legal advisor to the Company in the Private Placement.

Completion of the Subsequent Offering, as well as the Private Placement, is subject to the approval by a special general meeting (“SGM”) of the Company of a proposed reduction of the par value of the Company’s shares to USD 0.01. The SGM is scheduled to be held on 7 November 2023. Completion of the Subsequent Offering is also subject to (i) the board of directors of the Company resolving to issue the Offer Shares, and (ii) registration of the increased equity of the Company pertaining to the Subsequent Offering with the relevant company registration offices in Bermuda and the VPS.

The Subsequent Offering consists of an offering of up to 32,000,000 new shares in the Company (the “Offer Shares”) at a subscription price of NOK 0.125 per Offer Share, which is equal to the Subscription Price.

Listing of the Offer Shares, as well as the Private Placement Shares, will require a listing prospectus. The Offer Shares will be registered under a separate ISIN pending approval relevant prospectus authorities and publication by the Company of such prospectus, and the Offer Shares will not be listed or tradeable on Oslo Børs until the prospectus has been approved by the NFSA and been published by the Company.

The Subsequent Offering is directed towards shareholders in the Company as of 25 October 2023 (as registered in the VPS two trading days thereafter, on 27 October 2023 (the “Record Date”)), (i) who are registered holders of less than 150,000 shares on the Record Date, (ii) who were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and (iii) who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action (“Eligible Shareholders”).

For each share recorded as held in the Company as of expiry of the Record Date, each Eligible Shareholder will be entitled to allocation of 4.4104 subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”). The number of Subscription Rights allocated to each Eligible Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable law, give the right to subscribe for and be allotted one Offer Share at the Subscription Price in the Subsequent Offering. Neither over-subscription nor subscription without subscription rights will be permitted. The Subscription Rights will not be tradeable.

The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering will commence today 1 November 2023 at 09:00 CET and expire on 10 November 2023 at 16:30 CET (the “Subscription Period”).

In order to subscribe for Offer Shares in the Subsequent Offering, Eligible Shareholders must provide SpareBank 1 Markets AS (the “Manager”) with a correctly completed and duly signed subscription form by the end of the Subscription Period. Subscription for Offer Shares may also take place through the VPS online subscription system. For further instructions regarding the subscription procedure, please contact the Manager.

Subscription Rights not used to subscribe for the Offer Shares (in full or partly) will lapse without any compensation upon expiry of the Subscription Period and will consequently be of no value.

Subject to completion, notifications of allocation in the Subsequent Offering are expected to be sent on or about 13 November 2023. The due date for payment of allocated Offer Shares is on or about 15 November 2023.

SpareBank 1 Markets AS is acting as sole manager for the Subsequent Offering. Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as legal advisor to the Company.
