Brighter draws down the sixth tranche under the financing agreement with L1 Capital and issues additional free warrants to its shareholders.
Brighter has called upon a sixth Tranche of SEK 10 million in line with the terms from the financing agreement communicated on the 26thof April 2017. The transaction is carried out through a private placement of convertible notes with warrants attached. It is the sixth tranche out of a total of up to 8 tranches totaling SEK 100 million. It is precised that SEK 62.6 million of Notes of the previous Tranches out of the SEK 70 million have been converted into equity as of today, strengthening the company’s balance sheet.
This investment as part of the agreement as such, serves as a great foundation regarding availability of financial resources for the company’s continuous strategic and product development and enables Brighter to make further progress preparing for the launch and production of Actiste on national and international markets.
In connection with this transaction, Brighter will, similarly to the previous Tranches, also issue free warrants to existing shareholders, to protect them against dilution. The record date to receive one (1) free shareholder warrant (TO4) for every sixtytwo (62) shares is May 22, 2018, which means that the last day of trading of shares including the right to receive TO4 is May 18, 2018. The first day of trading in the share excluding the right to TO4 will be May 21, 2018. The free shareholder warrants are of the same type as the investor’s.
Highlights about the transaction:
- Sixth Tranche issued under a Private placement of SEK 10 million launched today through the issuance of Notes with Warrants attached.
- Upon the full exercise of the Warrants of the previous and this sixth Tranches and the related Shareholders Warrants, the investment can reach an additional SEK 77.3 million. It is reminded that Brighter already received SEK 6.9 million from the exercise of Warrants TO3 and TO4 on previous exercise periods.
- L1 Capital and Brighter have agreed that the Warrants issued under this sixth Tranche shall be the same as those issued under the second, third and fourth Tranches, i.e. TO4, in order to maintain a visible and simplified structure of the instruments already admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North.
- The Warrants TO4, issued from the reserve held by Brighter One AB, expire on 8 September 2020 and are immediately detached from the Notes. Each Warrant gives right to subscribe for one (1) new share in Brighter at a fixed strike price of SEK 6.01, subject to standard adjustments.
- The Warrants will be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North, together with the existing TO4 already traded under the same ISIN code.
- Assuming the exercise of all the Warrants before their maturity, the Investor will be entitled to subscribe for a further maximum number of 831,946 shares, subject to standard adjustments.
The Notes:
- Principal amount of SEK 100,000 per Note.
- Interest free.

The Warrants:
