The Company’s Offering of between 1,543,210 and 2,160,494 new shares at an Offer Price of DKK 16.20 per share was oversubscribed and hence the Company successfully received subscriptions for the Maximum Offering of DKK 35 million. Together with the Private Placement of DKK 75 million, Donkey Republic has thus raised DKK 110 million.

Erdem Ovacik, CEO of Donkey Republic comments:

“We are truly humbled and excited to announce that our IPO has thus far been a success. We reached our goal of raising DKK 110 million and look forward to continuing our ambitious growth plan. We will do our utmost to deliver on our 2024 business plan.”

Caroline Søeborg Ahlefeldt, Chairman of the Board at Donkey Republic comments:

“We want to thank everyone who has decided to join us on this next step of our journey and look forward to making cities more livable, together – one Donkey-ride at a time.”

In addition to the 84,876 shares that were allocated four investors pre-subscribing to the Offering and the up to 57,575 additional shares that were pre-subscribed for by AkademikerPension and LD Fonde in the Offering, the Company received 1,885 orders for a total of 3,086,999 shares in connection with the Offering. Thus, the Company received orders for a total of 3,229,450 shares equal to an oversubscription of 2.1x the Minimum Offering and 1.5x the Maximum Offering.

In addition to the Offering, 4,629,630 new shares were pre-subscribed for in the Private Placement at a price of DKK 16.20 per share corresponding to a capital raise of DKK 75 million.

During the Offer Period a total of 736,237 warrants have been exercised for subscription of 736,237 shares of nominally DKK 0.10 each by the Company’s former and existing employees, board members and management. 659,500 shares have been subscribed for at a subscription price of DKK 0.10 per share, 29,450 shares have been subscribed for at a subscription price of DKK 2.18 per share, 25,000 shares have been subscribed for at a subscription price of DKK 8.80 per share and the remaining 22,287 shares at a subscription price of DKK 13.68 per share.
