NMG: Summary of the Extraordinary General Meeting in Nickel Mountain Group AB (publ) conducted today
· New board of directors appointed
· Rights issue amounting to approximately NOK 68 million approved
· Board receives authorization to issue up to 90,809,360 new shares
· Limits of the share capital increased
An Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") in Nickel Mountain Group AB
("NMG" or the "Company") was held in Stockholm today. The agenda
contained three main items, (i) appointment of a new Board of Directors;
(ii) approval of a fully underwritten rights issue of approximately NOK
68 million; and (iii) a board authorization to issue shares or other
equity instruments going forward.
At the proposal by the new major shareholder of NMG, Strata Marine &
Offshore AS, a new board of directors was appointed. Martin Nes was
appointed as chairman of the board, and Jan Frode Andersen and Per
Dalemo were appointed ordinary board members. There are no deputy board
members. A short presentation of the new board members was given at the
EGM. Remuneration for the new board members was approved on the same
terms as those approved at the Annual General Meeting in June 2014.
Thereafter, the EGM resolved to conduct a fully underwritten rights
issue of up to 68,107,020 new shares (the "Rights Issue"). The Rights
Issue will be directed towards the Company's shareholders as of close of
the Oslo Stock Exchange on 17 October 2014, as registered in the
Norwegian Central Security Depository (VPS) and Euroclear on 21 October
2014 (the "Record Date"). The Rights Issue will not be directed at
shareholders who are resident in jurisdictions where the Rights Issue
would be unlawful, or in jurisdictions other than Norway and Sweden,
which would require any filing, registration or similar action. The last
day of trading in the NMG share with the right to receive subscription
rights is Friday, October 17, 2014, and the first day of trading of the
NMG share excluding the right to receive subscription rights is October
20, 2014.
Each eligible shareholder will have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for
three (3) new shares for each existing share held as of the Record Date.
The subscription price is NOK 1.00 per new share, resulting in gross
proceeds of NOK 68,107,020.
The subscription rights will be tradable and listed on the Oslo Stock
Exchange.
The subscription period is expected to commence on or about 23 October
2014 and expire on or about 6 November 2014. Trading in the subscription
rights on the Oslo Stock Exchange may take place from the first day of
the subscription period and end two days prior to expiry of the
subscription period.
The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Company's main
shareholder, Strata Marine & Offshore AS, and a group of institutional
investors and family offices.
Following the Rights Issue, the Company will have a total of 90,809,360
outstanding shares assuming all subscription rights are exercised.
The Board of Directors was also given an authorization from the EGM to
issue new shares or equity instruments. The existing shareholders'
preferential rights may be waived when exercising the board
authorization. The maximum dilution permitted under the board
authorization is 50%, being equivalent to 90,809,360 new shares, when
taken into account the 68,107,020 new shares from the Rights Issue. If
the board resolves to carry out a private placement under the
authorization, the subscription price shall be equal to the market price
of the share minus any necessary and reasonable discount. This
authorization replaces the corresponding authorization given to the
Board on the June 2014 AGM in Stockholm, and is valid until the AGM in
spring 2015.
As a consequence of the approved Rights Issue, the EGM also resolved to
raise the limits of the authorized share capital to a minimum of SEK 32
million and a maximum of SEK 128 million, corresponding to a minimum
number of shares of 64 million and a maximum of 256 million shares.
At the EGM 6,728,078 shares were present directly or through proxies,
corresponding to 29.6% of the Company's 22,702,340 total outstanding
shares.
