NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA OR NEW ZEALAND OR IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS PRESS RELEASE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY SECURITIES OF CYBAERO AB.
Today CybAero AB (publ) (”CybAero” or the “Company”) announces that it explores the possibilities of a private placement of CybAero shares to a limited number of Swedish and international institutional and strategic investors.
The shares will be issued based on the authorization from the Annual General Meeting April 9, 2015 to issue shares. The price for the shares will be determined through a bidding process (book building process) which will be initiated at 5.31pm CET on June 22, 2015. Pricing and allocation of the private placement is expected to take place before trading begins on Nasdaq First North at 8:45am CET on June, 23 2015. The total amount of shares to be offered in the private placement will be determined in the book building process but is ultimately limited to the maximum amount stated in the authorization to issue shares. The proceeds from the private placement will be used to finance the Company's continued expansion.
Remium Nordic AB is the sole financial advisor and bookrunner in connection with the private placement. Ernst & Young AB (EY Law) and Advokatfirman Delphi AB are the legal advisors in connection with the transaction.
The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the Board of Directors of CybAero deems it advantageous for the Company and its shareholders to strengthen the ownership base through a larger share of institutional and international investors, but also to capitalize on the opportunity to acquire new capital for the Company on attractive terms.
The Company will announce the result of the private placement as soon the book building process is completed.
