Nordic Mining ASA - Terms of the rights issue
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN 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 announcement dated 23 August 2019
regarding the proposed rights issue (the "Rights Issue") in Nordic Mining ASA
(the "Company") which is subject to approval by the extraordinary general
meeting of the Company to be held on Friday 13 September 2019 at 17:00 hours
(CEST) at the Company's premises, Vika Atrium, Munkedamsveien 45 (Entrance A,
5th floor), 0250 Oslo, Norway.
The Board of Directors of the Company has today determined the proposed
subscription price for the new shares to be issued in the Rights Issue, the
number of new shares and the amount of the share capital increase as follows:
- The share capital of the Company is proposed to be increased by up to NOK
15,000,000 through the issuance of up to 25,000,000 new shares (the "Offer
Shares")].
- The subscription price is proposed to be NOK 1.40 per Offer Share,
representing a discount of approximately 25.9% to the theoretical share price
exclusive of the subscription rights (TERP) of NOK 1.89 based on the Company's
closing share price on the Oslo Stock Exchange of NOK 1.975 on 12 September
2019. Based on the same closing price, the theoretical value of each
subscription right is NOK 0.4898359 and the theoretical value of the
subscription rights received per existing share is NOK 0.0851641. Shareholders
must decide whether to exercise or sell their subscription rights, or a
combination thereof, to maintain the full value of the shareholding.
Two of the larger shareholders in the Company who accumulated hold approximately
17.1 million shares (representing approximately 11.9% of the outstanding shares)
have irrevocably agreed to subscribe for approximately 5 million shares equal to
approximately 20.1% of the proposed Rights Issue.
- The Rights Issue will result in gross proceeds to the Company of up to NOK 35
million.
Each existing shareholder will be granted 0.1738625 tradable subscription rights
for every existing share registered as held by the shareholder on 13 September
2019 (as documented in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) as of
17 September 2019) (the record date). Each subscription right will, subject to
applicable securities laws, give the right to subscribe for and be allocated one
Offer Share in the Rights Issue. The number of subscription rights will be
rounded down to the nearest whole subscription right.
The proposal to increase the share capital as included in the notice of the
extraordinary general meeting of the Company will be adjusted to reflect the
subscription price elements set out above. For further information on the Rights
Issue, see the notice of the extraordinary general meeting available on
https://www.nordicmining.com/investors/general-meetings/.
The full terms and conditions for the Rights Issue will be included in a
prospectus which will be published prior to the commencement of the subscription
period for the Rights Issue, expected to take place from 18 September at 09:00
CEST 2019 to 2 October 2019 at 16:30 CEST.
