Atlantic Sapphire ASA: Share Capital Increase Registered
Miami, FL, June 10, 2021
Reference is made to the stock exchange notice from Atlantic Sapphire ASA ("Atlantic Sapphire" or the "Company") on June 4, 2021 regarding completion of a private placement of 10,300,000 new shares (the "Private Placement").
The share capital increase relating to the Private Placement has now been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The share capital has been increased with NOK 1,030,000 through issuance of 10,300,000 new shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.
The new share capital is NOK 9,101,335.10 divided by 91,013,551 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10.
The shares allocated to the investors in the Private Placement have been settled, on a delivery versus payment basis, by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company, that are already listed on Oslo Stock Exchange, pursuant to a share lending agreement between certain existing shareholders of the Company, DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA and the Company. The new shares issued in the Private Placement will consequently be delivered to the share lenders to settle such share lending agreement.
The new shares exceeding 6,705,259 that are issued and delivered to the share lenders as settlement of the share loan will only be converted to the ordinary ISIN of the Company's shares following approval and publication of a listing prospectus. Consequently, a total of 3,594,471 new shares will initially be issued on a separate ISIN awaiting approval and publication of a listing prospectus.
