Mandatum plc Board of Directors resolved on a personnel offering
Mandatum plc, stock exchange release, 13 August 2024 at 12:45 EEST
The Board of Directors of Mandatum plc (the “Company”) has on 13 August 2024 resolved on a personnel offering based on the authorisation granted by the general meeting on 15 May 2024.
The purpose of the personnel offering is to strengthen employee commitment and to encourage the personnel to acquire and own shares in the Company and to commit the personnel to the Company’s long-term strategy and goals. Consequently, the Board of Directors considers that a directed share issue is in the best interests of the Company and that there is a weighty financial reason for the Company to deviate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right in accordance with Chapter 9, Section 4 of the Limited Liability Companies Act.
In the personnel offering, a maximum total of 250,000 new shares in the Company are offered for subscription by the personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the CEO of the Company, in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the personnel offering. Shares in the personnel offering will not be offered for subscription to members of the Board of Directors of Mandatum plc or members of the Boards of Directors of the Company’s subsidiaries who do not have a valid employment relationship with a subsidiary of the Company. In the event of an oversubscription, the Board of Directors of the Company may decide to increase the number of shares offered up to a maximum total of 900,000 shares. The shares offered correspond to approximately 0.05 per cent of all the shares and voting rights in the Company prior to the personnel offering (approximately 0.18 per cent prior to the personnel offering, assuming that the Board of Directors uses its right to increase the number of offered shares to 900,000 shares), and approximately 0.05 per cent after the personnel offering, provided that all of the 250,000 offered shares are fully subscribed (approximately 0.18 per cent after the personnel offering, assuming that the Board of Directors uses its right to increase the number of offered shares to 900,000 shares).
The subscription price is EUR 3.74 per share, which is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company's shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during the calendar month preceding the Board of Directors’ decision on the share issue, i.e. during the period from 1 July 2024 to 31 July 2024 (“VWAP”), and a discount of ten (10) per cent in relation to the VWAP. The VWAP of the share during the aforementioned period was EUR 4.15 per share.
The subscription period for the shares is from 21 August 2024 to 30 August 2024. A subscription in the personnel offering must cover a minimum of 140 and a maximum of 22,000 shares. The shares subscribed in the personnel offering are subject to a lock-up period, which ends 360 days after the end of the subscription period. The proceeds from the personnel offering will be recorded in the Company's reserve for invested unrestricted equity.
The terms and conditions of the personnel offering are attached to this stock exchange release.
The Company's Board of Directors will decide on the approval of subscriptions and the final number of new shares to be issued in the personnel offering after the end of the subscription period. The final result of the personnel offering will be announced in a stock exchange release after the Board of Directors' decision approximately by 10 September 2024.
