Aspiro to carry out a directed share issue

Extra general meeting of stockholders of Aspiro AB (publ) The Board of Directors of Aspiro AB has decided to carry out a new share issue directed at a number of major institutional investors. The decision is conditional upon the approval of an extraordinary general meeting. The new issuing of 8 million shares, will add SEK 24 million to the company before issue costs. The purpose of the directed issue is to strengthen Aspiro's position in future acquisition processes.

The issuing of 8 million shares at an issue price of SEK 3 per share will add SEK 24 million to the company before issue costs. The directed share issue has been subscribed by a number of institutional investors in Sweden, that have found Aspiro's acquisition strategy within the mobile telecom sector interesting. The issue involves a dilution of about 23.2 percent. The issue price is equivalent to a stock-exchange rate, which is less than the average rate during the trading days of February 4-6 2004 with SEK 0.03. The market for mobile entertainment services has experienced a stable growth over the last year, however it is still in its development phase. The business models of the various players and the way in which mobile services are marketed are still in the formative stages. The mobile entertainment industry is very fragmented with many small or medium sized actors. The need of consolidation within the supplier segment is urgent, both in order to constitute a stronger partner to its customer and to achieve cost synergies within the organizations. In the Nordic market, there are 25-30 companies of importance, whereof Aspiro is one. "Aspiro sees a clear opening to take the lead in consolidating the market. The acquisitions which Aspiro has carried through over the last few years is only the beginning of this process," says Johan Lenander, Chairman of the Board of Aspiro. "The directed share issue will provide Aspiro with SEK 24 million, which will be used to increase the speed of our acquisition strategy. Aspiro will, after the completion of the issue, show a securing financial strength supported by strong institutional investors, which is essential in order to lead the consolidation process within this industry." Because of Aspiro’s increased focus on acquisitions, Johan Lenander will work with these projects on a full time basis.
