EAM: Status of bookbuilding
17 January 2014
Reference is made to the stock exchange notice of 14 January 2014 related to the
on-going equity financing in EAM Solar ASA ("EAM Solar" or the "Company") (the
"Private Placement") in relation to the sale and purchase agreement (the "SPA")
to acquire a portfolio of 31 solar power plants in Southern Italy, with a
combined capacity of 30 MW and an average annual electricity production capacity
of approximately 44 GWh (the "Acquisition").
Based on feedback received in the marketing of the Private Placement, the
Company has decided to adjust the size of the transaction to NOK 200-230 million
and set the offer price to NOK 80 per share. The Private Placement is covered
within the adjusted size range. The book-building period will close at 16:30 CET
today.
Based on the net proceeds from the Private Placement, available cash resources
and a committed credit facility of NOK 50 million (at 6% interest p.a., if
drawn) secured by the existing solar power plants in EAM Solar, the Company has
the necessary funding required to complete the Acquisition. In addition, the SPA
allows for partial and sequential closing of the Acquisition.
The completion of the Private Placement is subject to the approval by the Board
of Directors of EAM Solar pursuant to the resolution by the Extraordinary
General Meeting held Tuesday 17 December 2013. Notification of allotment and
payment instructions are expected to be sent out on or about 20 January 2014.
The payment date is expected to be on or about 22 January 2014 while the
delivery of the shares offered in the Private Placement is expected to take
place on or about 24 January 2014 (following the publication by the Company of a
listing prospectus in compliance with section 7-3 of the Norwegian Securities
Trading Act).
