Seamless has issued SEK 29 million of convertible debentures

Report this content

Seamless has issued SEK 29 million of convertible debentures. The issue, which was fully subscribed, was sold to private and institutional investors, arranged by Evli Bank PLC, who acted as bookrunners for the deal. The successful completion of this issue gives Seamless an adequate working capital buffer.

The board of directors of Seamless resolved to issue these bonds pursuant to the authorization granted at the latest annual general meeting of the company.

The convertible loan amounts to a nominal value of not more than SEK 29,000,000 and carries interest at an annual rate of seven (7) per cent. The convertible debentures have been subscribed at a value corresponding to 100 per cent of the nominal value and the conversion price is based on the VWAP of the Seamless share on 13 July 2015. The conversion price is SEK 8.55.

The issue has been implemented with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The reason for the deviation is that the company wants to have a working capital buffer. A private placement of convertible debentures has, at this point in time, been deemed to be the most favourable way to obtain such financing for the company. The convertible loan will mature 364 days after the date of issue, unless conversion or distribution has occurred prior to this date.

The payment for the convertible debentures shall be made in connection with the subscription, or such later date as the board of directors resolves. The issue of convertible debentures will entail, upon full conversion, a dilution for the current shareholders of Seamless of approximately 7.49 per cent after full dilution.
