Rationale for the Offering and use of proceeds
The Company is at a stage where the sales, marketing and production organizations 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.
Enviro intends to use the total proceeds raised for the following purposes:
- Repayment / set-off of current liabilities
- Strengthen the sales organization
- Further develop and improve products and services
- Strengthen the Company's patent and trademark protection
The Rights Issue
On the basis of the Extraordinary General Meeting’s decision on authorization, the Board intends to decide on the issue of shares and warrants in accordance with the main conditions below:
- Enersize will grant all shareholders registered in Enersize's share register kept by Euroclear Finland Oy or Euroclear Sweden AB one (1) subscription right for each share held on the record date on September 26, 2019. One (1) subscription right entitles the holder to subscribe for two (2) newly issued shares. When two (2) newly issued shares are subscribed, one (1) free subscription warrant of series 2/2019 is received. The subscription price is 0.65 SEK or 0.06 EUR per share.
- The Rights Issue thus means an issue of a maximum of 72,402,216 new shares and 36,201,108 warrants. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the Company will receive an issue liquidity of approximately 47 MSEK, before issue costs.
- Subscription period for subscription of shares will be from October 1, 2019, and until October 16, 2019 in Sweden and up to October 18, 2019 in Finland.
- For existing shareholders who choose not to participate in the Rights Issue, assuming that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, will experience a dilution amounting to 67 percent.
- The subscription period for subscription of shares with the support of the warrants will be from August 31, 2020 to September 11, 2020.
- The subscription price for the shares that can be subscribed based on the warrant corresponds to 70 percent of the average volume weighted price paid for the Company’s shares according to Nasdaq First North Growth Markets official list during the period from August 13, 2020 up and until August 27, 2019. The subscription period for subscription of shares under the warrants will be from August 31, 2020 to September 11, 2020. The subscription price may not be lower than 0.65 SEK (0.06 EUR) or higher than 1.30 SEK (0.12 EUR), which means that the Company can receive a minimum of approximately 24 MSEK and a maximum of approximately 47 MSEK upon full exercise of the warrants.
Subscription commitments and guarantees
The Rights Issue is covered by approximately 8.3 MSEK, corresponding to approximately 17.6 percent by subscription undertakings from existing shareholders, which 5.3 MSEK is conversion of loans corresponding to 11.2 percent and approximately 19.9 MSEK, corresponding to approximately 42.4 percent from guarantees.
