Oslo, 25 October 2019 AF Gruppen ASA
Pål Egil Rønn Board Chairman
On 19 August 2019 the Company, through Betonmast Holding AS, concluded an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Betonmast AS. The transaction will be completed in October 2019, and the Company will finance its part of the purchase price using existing loan agreements and through raising equity. On 25 October 2019 the Board therefore decided to carry out a private placement with gross proceeds of NOK 400 million towards the Company's four largest shareholders (the "Private Placement"). To ensure equal treatment, the board will propose that all other shareholders are given the opportunity to subscribe to a proportionately equal number of shares as those that subscribed to the private placement. This means that in the repair issue, shares for up to NOK 337,075,204.40 may be issued. This means that each shareholder will be able to subscribe for 4.20 % of the number of shares he or she owns as of 25 October 2019 (as registered in the VPS on 29 October 2019) rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares".
As a consequence of the structure of the private placement, the shareholders' preferential rights are waived. The waiver of preferential rights is deemed necessary due to time constraints and in order to ensure adequate funding in order to complete the transaction.
To ensure equal treatment of the shareholders, the Board proposes that a repair issue is carried out to shareholders who were unable to subscribe to shares in the Private Placement, and who do not reside in a country where such an offer would not be legal or (in other countries than Norway) would require the preparation of a prospectus, registration or similar. It is proposed that the repair issue be carried out at the same subscription price as in the Private Placement.
In the Board's opinion no events of significant importance to the Company have occurred since the date of the last balance sheet, beyond what has been disclosed through the Company's notices to the stock exchange and financial reporting published through the Oslo Stock Exchange information system.
