Comments on the notice to the extraordinary general Meeting of QuickCool AB
QuickCool and EHGO comment on the notice to the EGM
QuickCool and the European High Growth Opportunities Securitization Fund (EHGO) presented a financing solution in a press release on 21 June 2018. Both parties cooperate to maintain a long-term and well-functioning financing solution.
Chairman of the QuickCool Board, Göran Brorsson, comments: "The delays in our development work are disappointing for all of us. Unfortunately, this has meant that confidence and the evaluation of the company have been affected. Now that we are in the final stages of development and the final third-party approvals remain, it is important that we continue to be able to fund the activities rationally. Today's low share value means that the difference between the buying and selling price of the share is too often unacceptably high, which is not in favour of our shareholders and those who wish to trade in the company's share. This creates unnecessary uncertainty. To improve the situation, the board of Directors now proposes a reverse share split so that today's 10 shares will become one share. This does not affect the company's value but is expected to provide more stable buying and selling prices and thus also improve the interest in the company's share."
Hugo Pingray, founder and COO, Alpha Blue Ocean Advisors, and advisor to EHGO, says: "As a partner in the QuickCool financing programme, it is a good initiative from the board to propose these measures to support a more effective trading of the company's share. We will, as has already been confirmed earlier, continue to support the development and financing of the QuickCool®SYSTEM."
