VOGO announces the great success of its € 5 million capital increase through a placement to qualified investors

VOGO (ISIN code: FR0011532225 - Ticker: ALVGO) is today announcing the great success of its capital increase without shareholders' preferential subscription rights for a final amount of €5 million, through placement made to qualified investors (the "Offer") by way of a bookbuild. The order book was largely covered, based on sustained demand from new and existing institutional investors, for a total amount of €5,6 million.

The Offer resulted in the issuance of 530.223 new ordinary shares, representing 14,91% of the Company's current share capital, and a total fund raising of €5.000.002,89. The subscription price was €9,43 (issue premium included), representing a discount of 19,95% compared to the average value of the VOGO share price on the Euronext Growth market in Paris weighted by volume observed over the last five trading sessions prior to the price being set.

Following the Offer, the Company's new share capital now comprises 4.086.933 shares with a par value of €0.125 per share. Based on the Company's cash position (€6,860 million at 30 June 2020), and its forecast revenues and provisional expenses, the funds raised as a result of the Offer should enable the Company to successfully achieve its strategic objectives.

Christophe Carniel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the operation: "We would like to thank our long-standing shareholders for participating in this fund raising, which demonstrates their dedication and confidence in the Company and its projects and we are delighted to welcome VOGO's new investors."

USE OF THE FUNDS RAISED

The proceeds of the Offer should allow VOGO to:

  • finance the development potential of VOGO's digital solutions in the healthcare sector, particularly in the context of its collaboration with the SYS2DIAG laboratory (CNRS) in the fields of connected diagnostics;
  • speed up its strategic development in the sports sector, notably by financing the VOGOSCOPE joint venture created with ABEO1 ; and
  • take advantage of external growth opportunities.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OFFER

A total of 530.223 new ordinary shares with a par value of €0.125 per share was issued to qualified investors within the meaning of Article 2(e) of (EU) Regulation n°2017/1129 dated 14 June 2017, as stipulated in Article L.411-2, paragraph 1°, of the French Monetary and Financial Code, in accordance with the thirteenth resolution of the Company's Combined Shareholders' Meeting of 5 June 2020.

The new shares, representing 14,91% of the Company's current undiluted share capital, before the completion of the Offer (a dilution of 12,97%), were issued pursuant to decisions by the Board of Directors and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on 10 December 2020 in accordance with the

delegation of authority granted by the thirteenth resolution approved by the Company's Combined Shareholders' Meeting of 5 June 2020.

The issue price of the new shares was set at €9,43 per share, representing a discount of 19,95% compared to the average value of the VOGO share price on the Euronext Growth market in Paris weighted by volume observed over the last five trading sessions prior to the price being set (i.e. 4 to 10 December 2020 inclusive), i.e. €11,78, in accordance with the Board of Directors decisions on 10 December 2020, taken by virtue of the thirteenth resolution of the Combined Shareholders' Meeting of 5 June 2020, which set the maximum authorised discount at 20% of the average value of the VOGO share price weighted by volume over the last five trading sessions prior to the setting of the price.

As an illustration, a shareholder holding 1% of VOGO's capital before the launch of the Offer would now hold an interest of 0,87%.
