LINKÖPING, July 3, 2015 – The Board of Directors of CybAero AB (publ) ("CybAero") has resolved to propose a fully underwritten new share issue amounting to approx. SEK 65 million with preferential rights for the current shareholders. The company plans to use the capital contribution from the new share issue to strengthen the company’s financial position and continue the expansion of the company.
It is the board’s estimate that the company’s current cash resources will not be sufficient to meet the company’s need for working capital and build-up of production capacity over the coming 12 months. The board estimates that the capital raised in the share issue will together with expected sales, create conditions for financing the business until it becomes profitable. The board estimates that the terms and conditions of the proposed preferred share issue are favorable for existing shareholders.
The share issue is 100 percent underwritten by external investors. The company’s shareholders will have preferential rights to subscribe for new CybAero shares in proportion to the number of shares being held before the new share issue. Two (2) existing shares entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share at a subscription price of SEK 7. The share issue is proposed to be resolved by an extraordinary general meeting. In addition, it is proposed that the general meeting shall also resolve on an overallotment option of approx. SEK 10 million.
The board will publish a notice to the extraordinary general meeting and more information about the terms and conditions for the new share issue with preferential rights for current shareholders and the overallotment option in the coming week.
To cover the company’s short-term working capital need, a bridge loan totaling SEK 18 million has been obtained
