Cash flow

  • Net cash changes from financing was EUR 4.4 million, related to an additional short term credit facility of EUR 2.0 million and draw down of the overdraft facility.

Key highlights of the financial restructuring

  • A total equity offering of NOK 47.0 million, consisting of a Private Placement of NOK 23.5 million towards Tjelta Eiendom AS (the main shareholder with 50.24% of the company's outstanding shares) and a Subsequent Offering, fully underwritten by Tjelta Eiendom, towards all other eligible shareholders in the company as of 14 May 2024. The subscription price in the subsequent offering will be equal to the subscription price in the private placement of NOK 0.05 per share.
  • Of the approx. EUR 12.3 million outstanding principal of the term loan facility with the company's lenders, an amount of NOK 60 million (approx. EUR 5.2 million) is to be converted to shares in the company at a conversion price of NOK 0.10 per share (rounded down to the nearest whole share).
  • The outstanding principal of the term loan facility following the conversion will amount to approx. EUR 7.1 million.
    • The first interest payment of the term loan facility is postponed until 30 June 2025, with quarterly interest payments following first interest payment.
    • Pre-agreed sharing of net proceeds with the lenders in case of sale of assets.
  • As the subscription price and conversion price are lower than the Company's current par value per share of NOK 0.35, the Private Placement, the Subsequent Offering and the debt conversion are conditional upon a share capital reduction equivalent to a new par value of NOK 0.01 per share, which will be implemented following a six-week creditor notice period after the extraordinary general meeting approved the financial restructuring.
  • The existing bridge loan of EUR 2.0 million with the lenders remains in force until the end of August 2024, and Tjelta Eiendom's guarantee is extended beyond August 2024 until the bridge loan has been repaid, if not repaid in August 2024.
    • In the event of default of the bridge loan, Tjelta Eiendom's guarantee shall be made convertible to shares in the company at a subscription price of NOK 0.05 per share.
  • Commitment of a new liquidity loan by the lenders of EUR 2.0 million, backed by an equivalent cash deposit from Tjelta Eiendom.
    • In the event of default of the liquidity loan, Tjelta Eiendom's recourse claim shall be made convertible to shares in the company at a subscription price of NOK 0.05 per share.
  • An additional liquidity loan has been granted by Tjelta Eiendom of EUR 1 million, to be paid if and when needed.
    • To the extent the additional liquidity loan is not repaid by the company, Tjelta Eiendom shall have the right to convert the outstanding amount to shares at a conversion price of NOK 0.05 per share.
  • The Company expects to repay the bridge loan, liquidity loan and the additional liquidity loan in accordance with their terms, so that the default provisions will not take effect.
