Pressrelease 06-03-2017
Rejlers AB (publ) (the "Company" or "Rejlers") announced on February 9, 2017, that the Board of Directors had resolved to, subject to the approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting on March 13, 2017, launch a rights issue of approximately SEK 200 million to accelerate the Company's ongoing transformation process and thereby strengthen its financial position as well as its operational flexibility. Today, Rejlers' Board of Directors announces the final terms and conditions for the rights issue.
» Shareholders in Rejlers have preferential right to subscribe for two (2) new shares per five (5) existing shares, irrespective of share class, i.e. an issue ratio of 2:5.
» The subscription price is SEK 39 per new share, irrespective of share class, which results in total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 200 million before issue costs, assuming that the rights issue is fully subscribed.
» The record date for the rights issue is March 15, 2017 and the subscription period runs from and including March 17, 2017, up to and including March 31, 2017.
» The rights issue is subject to approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting on March 13, 2017.
» The last day of trading in the Rejlers share of class B including the right to participate in the rights issue is March 13, 2017.
Those who are registered by Euroclear Sweden AB as shareholders in Rejlers on the record date March 15, 2017, have preferential rights to subscribe for new shares in the rights issue. For each share held in Rejlers one (1) subscription right of class A or class B is received. Five (5)subscription rights of class A entitle to subscription of two (2) new shares of class A,and five (5)subscription rights of class B entitle to subscription of two (2) new shares of class B. In addition, investors are offered to subscribe for shares without subscription rights.
If not all shares are subscribed for with support of subscription rights, the Board of Directors will, within the framework of the preferential rights issue's maximum amount, resolve on the allocation of shares subscribed for without support from subscription rights as follows:
» firstly, allocation should be completed to those who have applied for subscription and subscribed for shares (irrespective of share class) with support of subscription rights, regardless if the subscriber was a shareholder at the record date or not, and in case of over-subscription, proportionally in relation to the number of subscription rights each has exercised in the subscription of shares;
» secondly, allocation shall be completed to others who have applied for subscription without support from subscription rights and, in case of over-subscription, proportionally in relation to the number of shares each one has registered for subscription, and in case this cannot be completed, by drawing lots.
The record date of Euroclear Sweden AB for determining which holders of shares are entitled to receive subscription rights is March 15, 2017. The shares are traded including the right to participate in the rights issue up to and including March 13, 2017.
The subscription price is SEK 39 per share, irrespective of share class. Assuming that the rights issue is fully subscribed, the share capital will be increased by a maximum of SEK 10,337,376 bya new issue of a maximum of 5,168,688 shares, whereof 500,500 class A shares and 4,668,188 class B shares. Assuming full subscription, total issue proceeds amount to approximately SEK 200 million before issue costs.
Subscription of new shares shall be made during the period from and including March 17, 2017, up to and including March 31, 2017. Rejlers' Board of Directors has the right to extend the subscription period. Any extension will be published by the Company no later than March 31, 2017.
Shareholders who choose not to participate in the rights issue will have their ownership diluted by approximately 29 per cent in terms of capital and 29 per cent in terms of votes, but are able to financially compensate themselves for this dilution by selling their subscription rights. Class B subscription rights will be traded on Nasdaq Stockholm from and including March 17, 2017, up to and including March 29, 2017.
The rights issue is subject to approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting which will be held on March 13, 2017, at 16:00 CET at Lindhagen konferenscenter, Lindhagensgatan 126 in Stockholm.
