UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE
SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
Seabird Exploration PLC, in the process of changing its name to Green Energy
Group ("the “Company”) has retained Fearnley Securities AS as Bookrunners (the
“Managers”) to advise on and effect a private placement (the “Private
Placement”) of new shares, with the intention to raise gross proceeds of
approximately NOK 30 million.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement will be applied
towards working capital requirements related to increasing activities within
existing and new business segments, as well as towards general corporate
purposes.
The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international
investors, subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing
and prospectus requirements, and subject to other applicable selling
restrictions. The minimum application and allocation amount has been set to the
NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000. The Company may however, at its sole discretion,
allocate amounts below EUR 100,000 to the extent exemptions from the prospectus
requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Norwegian
Securities Trading Act and the prospectus regulation 2017/119 and ancillary
regulations, are available.
The offer price in the Private Placement will be determined by the board of
directors of the Company (the “Board”) following an accelerated bookbuilding
process. The bookbuilding and application period for the Private Placement
commences today, on [30] June 2021 at 16:30 CEST, and is expected to close no
later than [1] July 2021 at 08:00 CEST. The Company, after consultation with the
Managers, reserves the right to at any time and in its sole discretion close or
extend the application period. If the bookbuilding is shortened or extended, the
other dates referred to herein may be changed correspondingly.
Allocation of the shares in the Private Placement will be determined after the
expiry of the bookbuilding period, and the final allocation will be made by the
Board at its sole discretion, following advice from the Managers. DVP settlement
will be facilitated by existing and unencumbered shares in the Company being
borrowed by Fearnley Securities AS from certain existing shareholders pursuant
to a share lending agreement between such parties and the Company, meaning that
shares so settled will be tradable from allocation. The Managers will settle the
share loan with new shares in the Company to be issued by a resolution of the
Board.
Completion of the Private Placement is subject to the corporate resolutions of
the Company required to implement the Private Placement, including a resolution
of the Board to proceed with the Private Placement following the expiry of the
bookbuilding period and to increase the share capital of the Company.
The Company has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment
obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Børs’ Circular
no. 2/2014 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. Subject to completion of the
Private Placement and depending on the results of the bookbuilding, the Board of
Directors of the Company will consider to carry out a subsequent offering
directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of the end of trading
today, [30] June 2021 (and as registered in the VPS as of the end of [2] July
2021) who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be
unlawful, or would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any prospectus
filing, registration or similar action who were not allocated shares in the
Private Placement (the “Subsequent Offering”). The subscription price in a
potential Subsequent Offering will be equal to the subscription price in the
Private Placement.
