Vow ASA : Vow ASA Annual General Meeting - shareholders approve demerger of Vow Green Metals AS
Vow ASA : Vow ASA Annual General Meeting - shareholders approve demerger of Vow Green Metals AS
The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Vow ASA ("Vow") was held today 14 May
2021. All resolutions were adopted in accordance with the Board's proposal and
the Nomination Committee's recommendations.
The AGM approved the demerger plan dated 8 April 2021. As described in Vow's
announcement of 8 April 2021, this is one of several formal steps required in
order to establish Vow Green Metals AS ("Vow Green Metals") as a separate listed
company, at a date after the expiry of a 6 week creditor notice period and after
an approval of listing of Vow Green Metals on Euronext Growth.
When the demerger is completed, at a date after 25 June 2021, the share capital
in Vow will be reduced by NOK 742,689,155, from NOK 11,425,987 to NOK
10,683,297,845, by reducing the nominal value of the shares by NOK 0.0065, from
NOK 0.10000 to NOK 0.09350.
The amount of the reduction will be distributed to Vow's shareholders so that
the shareholders in Vow (at such future completion date) receive shares in Vow
Green Metals. In advance of the demerger completion date, Vow will announce the
dates for Vow being traded with and without the right to receive shares in Vow
Green Metals.
Vow's assets rights and obligations related to its contemplated activities for
industrial and continuous production of biocarbon as reducing agent for the
metallurgical industry (the "Biocarbon Business") are transferred to Vow Green
Metals, while all other assets, rights and liabilities will remain with Vow (the
"Demerger").
Vow Green Metals will own and operate plants that produce CO2 neutral energy and
products that help customers in industry decarbonise their production processes.
The first plant is being planned at Follum in Eastern Norway with planned start
of operations in 2022.
After the Demerger is completed, at a date being after 25 June 2021, Vow will
continue to develop and deliver technologies, solutions and innovative business
models that convert biomass and waste into valuable resources and generate clean
and CO2 neutral energy to customers in a wide range of industries at sea and on
land.
After the AGM and approval of Demerger, an extraordinary general meeting was
held in Vow Green Metals where Vow subscribed new shares in Vow Green Metals for
NOK 150 million, and Vow will thereby retain a 30.5 percent ownership in Vow
Green Metals after completion of the demerger.
