Eevia Health's Board of Directors has resolved a directed share issue of 2,700,107 shares
The Board of Directors of Eevia Health Oyj (publ) ("Eevia" or the "Company") has resolved a directed new issue of 2,700,107 shares at a subscription price of EUR 0,05 per share (the “Directed Share Issue”), which is to pay guarantors for specific guarantor commitment fees in the recent Rights issue.
The Company has resolved a Directed Share Issue to a limited number of professional investors and several existing shareholders. The Board based the Directed Share Issue on the Terms of the Rights Issue communicated in June. A total of 10 guarantors have agreed to subscribe for shares in the Directed Share Issue as a means of payment for the subscription guarantee for the Rights Issue concluded in June/July 2024.
The subscription price was 0,05 euros (equal to SEK 0,57 at today's exchange rate), as stated in the Terms of the Rights issue communicated in a press release on June 5, 2024. The shares were issued for 16% of the commitment amount. This was the agreed commission when the guarantors chose to be paid in new shares. The Board of Directors of Eevia Health considers the fees to be in line with market practice.
The Directed Share Issue increases the total number of shares from 64,355,488 to 67,055,955. For existing shareholders, the Directed Share Issue will result in a dilution of approximately 4,0 percent. The weighty reason for deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights for the Directed Share Issue is to improve the Company’s financial position by retaining more cash from the rights issue. The Board thinks the Directed issue will benefit the Company and all its shareholders.
