Airthings ASA: Successful completion of private placement

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA OR THE UNITED STATES, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Reference is made to the announcement published on 13 February 2023 by Airthings ASA ("Airthings" or the “Company”) regarding the launch of a contemplated private placement (the “Private Placement”).

Airthings is pleased to announce that it has raised NOK 75 million in gross proceeds through the Private Placement of 23,437,500 new shares in the Company (the “Offer Shares”), at a price per Offer Share of NOK 3.20 (the “Offer Price”).

The Private Placement took place through an accelerated bookbuilding process on 13 February 2023 with Carnegie AS as bookrunner and manager (the “Manager”).

The net proceeds will be used to strengthen the Company’s financial position and for general corporate purposes.

Completion of the Private Placement is subject to approval by an extraordinary general meeting of the Company, expected to be held on or about 9 March 2023.

Delivery of the Offer Shares allocated in the Private Placement is expected to, in order to facilitate delivery-versus-payment, be made by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the Company already admitted to trading on Oslo Børs, pursuant to a share lending agreement entered into between the Company, the Manager and Firda AS. The Offer Shares delivered to the subscribers will thus be tradable upon announcement of the approval by the extraordinary general meeting.

Following issuance of the Offer Shares, the Company will have an issued share capital of NOK 1,974,298.46 divided into 197,429,846 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.01.

In light of the current trading price of the Company's shares on Oslo Børs, which is below the Offer Price, the Board has decided not to carry out a subsequent offering.
