The NOK 18 million raised in the First and Second Private Placements reduces the Company's debt, improves the Company's balance sheet and provides the Company with working capital.
The New Shares to be issued under the Second Private Placement will be listed on Merkur Market and delivered to the securities accounts of the subscribers as soon as practically possible after registration of the share capital increase in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, expected on or about 28 April 2016.
