Scana Industrier ASA - Approved prospectus, subscription period and listing of subscription rights
Scana Industrier ASA - Approved prospectus, subscription period and listing of subscription rights
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED
STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE
DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL
Reference is made to announcements from Scana Industrier ASA (the "Company")
regarding completion of a partly underwritten rights issue directed towards
shareholder in the Company (the "Rights Issue").
The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has today approved a prospectus
for the offering and listing of up to 1,000,000,000 new shares at a subscription
price of NOK 0.10 per new share with tradable subscription rights. Subject to
applicable local securities laws, the prospectus as well certain other relevant
information in connection to the Rights Issue will be sent by mail to
shareholders registered in the Companys shareholder register in the VPS on 29
May 2015. The Prospectus will also be made available on the Companys website
www.scana.no and on www.paretosec.com.
The subscription period in the Rights Issue commences 15 June 2015 and expires
29 June 2015 at 16:30 CET. The shares to be issued are expected to be delivered
to investors and be tradable on or about 10 July 2015 following the registration
of the share capital increase and write down of the nominal value.
The Companys shareholders as of 27 May 2015 (as registered in the Companys
shareholder register in the VPS on 29 May 2015) who are not resident in a
jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful, or (in jurisdictions other
than Norway) would require any prospectus filing, registration or similar
action, will receive approximately 13.31233 subscription rights for each share
that they own in the Company on the above-mentioned date. The number of
subscription rights issued to each shareholder has been rounded down to the
nearest whole subscription right. The holders of subscription rights will be
entitled to subscribe for and be allocated one (1) new share for every (1)
subscription right held. Oversubscription and subscription without subscription
rights is permitted.
The subscription rights will be fully tradable and listed on the Oslo Stock
Exchange with ticker code "SCI T" in the period from 15 June to 25 June 2015.
The subscription rights are, based on recent trading, expected to have a
financial value as the Companys shares are currently traded at a higher price
than the subscription price. Subscription rights that have not been sold prior
to the expiry of the trading period for the subscription rights or that have
been used to subscribe for shares prior to the expiry of the subscription period
will lapse and no longer have any value for the holders.
Shareholders who do not exercise their subscription rights will have their
ownership percentage significantly diluted.
New shares may be subscribed by investors who are not resident in a jurisdiction
where such offering would be unlawful, or for jurisdictions other than Norway
which would require any filing, registration or similar action. Regarding
further restrictions in respect of who may be allocated or permitted to acquire
or exercise subscription rights / subscribe for new shares, reference is made to
Section 13 "Restrictions on sale and transfer" in the prospectus.
An underwriting syndicate consisting of the shareholders Camar AS, Leif Inge
Sletthei AS, Stolen AS, Krefting AS, International Oilfield Services AS and MP
Pensjon PK as well as Kjetil W. Gulliksen and Kristian Falnes has guaranteed for
the Rights Issue up to NOK 50 million and will receive an underwriting
commission of 3% of the underwriting obligation. The underwriters obligation is
subject to certain customary conditions, inter alia final and valid resolutions
being approved by the Company and term sheet for the refinancing of the Company
having been approved by the banks. Section 10-4 third subsection of the
Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act is deviated from regarding
allocation to participants in the underwriting syndicate.
In the unlikely event that the conditions for the underwriting are not satisfied
or waived by the underwriters, the underwriting agreement may be terminated and
the Rights Issue will be limited to the number of shares subscribed during the
subscription period. The underwriting agreement is described in section 5.2.3 of
the prospectus.
Pareto Securities AS is acting as financial adviser and manager and
Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS is acting as legal adviser.
