Huddlestock Fintech AS - Key Information relating to potential repair offering of convertible debt
29.5.2024 08:58:22 CEST | Huddlestock Fintech AS | Additional regulated
information required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE
UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE 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 stock exchange notice by Huddlestock Fintech AS
("Huddlestock" or the "Company") on 29 May 2024 regarding the successful
completion of a private placement of NOK 12,500,000 in convertible debt (the
"Private Placement"), and a potential subsequent share offering (the "Subsequent
Offering").
The Company may, subject to completion of the Private Placement and certain
other conditions, decide to carry out a Subsequent Offering. The Subsequent
Offering will be conducted as a private placement of convertible debt directed
towards existing shareholders in the Company as of 28 May 2024 (as registered in
the VPS two trading days thereafter, the "Record Date"), who (i) were not
allocated Convertibles in the Private Placement and (ii) are not resident in a
jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (in jurisdictions
other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar
action ("Eligible Shareholders"). Each Eligible Shareholder will receive,
without additional payment 0.04 unlisted subscription rights (the "Subscription
Rights") per share issued and allocated. The Subscription rights represent a
conditional right to subscribe for convertible debt in a NOK amount equal to the
face value of the Subscription rights.
The following key information is given with respect to the Subsequent Offering:
Date on which the terms and conditions of the repair issue were announced: 29
May 2024
* Last day including right: 28 May 2024
* Ex-date: 29 May 2024
* Record date: 30 May 2024
* Subscription price: NOK 1, representing NOK 1 in the convertible instrument
The convertible instrument:
* Interest rate: 10% p.a.
* Conversion date: date falling 18 months from the date of settlement of the
Private Placement
* Conversion rate: NOK 1 per share in the Company. However, if the
volume-weighted average price per share over the last five days prior to the
conversion date (the "VWAP Price") is lower than NOK 1, then the conversion
price per share shall be set to a price per share equivalent to the VWAP Price
and the Company may alternatively choose to settle the Convertibles in cash.
The Subsequent Offering will be subject to (i) a decision by the Company's board
of directors (the "Board"), based on the authorization granted by the annual
general meeting held on 16 May 2024 (the "AGM"), under which Eligible
Shareholders will receive subscription rights based on their registered
shareholdings as of the Record Date, and (ii) publication of a prospectus (the
"Prospectus") by the Company.
The subscription period for any Subsequent Offering (if applicable) is expected
to commence by end of Q3 2024.
