Nordic Mining participated pro rata in Keliber’s repair issue
On 6 April 2017, Nordic Mining subscribed for shares in accordance with its allocated subscription rights in a repair issue in the associated lithium company Keliber Oy. Keliber’s repair issue closed for subscription on 6 April, and allocation of shares is expected on or about 10 April 2017.
In total 125,000 shares were offered for subscription at a price of EUR 40 per share in Keliber’s repair issue. The repair issue was carried out subsequent of a successful private placement in March. The number of shares offered and the subscription price in the repair issue was the same as in the private placement. The repair issue shares were offered to shareholders who did not participate in the private placement.
In the repair issue, Nordic Mining subscribed 31,338 shares, in accordance with its rights, at a price of EUR 40 per share. Consequently, Nordic Mining expects to be allocated the subscribed number of shares. Nordic Mining’s new shareholding in Keliber will be informed after the board’s approval of the allocation on or about 10 April 2017.
CEO Ivar S. Fossum comments: “Keliber is making very good progress with the definitive feasibility study and other value increasing activities. Lithium demand growth continues on a strong and positive note, and Keliber is in a lead position for the exciting development in the battery value chain and “green” energy solutions in Europe and in the Nordic region.”
