Brighter carries out a directed share issue of SEK 35.4 M.
Brighter’s Board of Directors has, with authorization from the Annual General Meeting on May 9, 2019, decided to carry out a directed share issue to strengthen the company’s balance sheet. The share issue, totalling SEK 35.4 million, is made through cash payment and will be partly used to repay loans.
After this, the balance sheet will be completely cleared of interest-bearing loans. Remaining in the balance sheet will only be loans attributed to Winance and these do not bear interest. The purpose of the share issue and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to strengthen the company's balance sheet in a time- and capital-efficient manner.
The subscription price is set at SEK 10.13. This is considered reasonable as it corresponds to approximately a 10% discount on the share price on September 3.
The number of shares in the company increases by 3,494,355 to a total of 89,828,246. The share capital increases by SEK 174,717.75 to a total of SEK 4,491,412.30.
