Summary of the background and rationale
The Company is at a stage where the sales, marketing and production of the organization are still under development. At present, the customer order backlog has not reached a sufficient level for the Company to be able to self-finance its working capital requirements.
The Board of Directors of Enersize believes that it is of great strategic importance to ensure good liquidity in the Company in order to be able to finance the commercialization phase and to lay a foundation for the Company's continued success. Working capital has been strained and in 2019 the Company financed parts of the business through the raising of short-term liabilities and conversion of liabilities into shares.
Enersize intends to use the total net proceeds raised for the following purposes:
- Repayment / set-off of current liabilities and project loans
- Securing working capital
- Strengthen the sales organization
