Background and motifs

The measures implemented within the Group in 2019 have begun to show good results and are steadily pointing in the right direction. The year-end report, published on February 18, 2020, shows that costs were significantly reduced during the second half of the year and that the invoicing rate was maintained. As the company's brand continues to be strong, the market situation continues to be favorable and the cooperation within the Group leads to more and better business, the company's board has decided on a rights issue with the right to subscribe even without preference.

The purpose of the rights issue is to strengthen the cash position ahead of the investments the company will make in order to continue the journey towards profitability. The plan is to develop both Laika's and FundedByMe's operations where the new EU crowdfunding directive very advantageously will pave the way for the Group's operations, especially in crowdfunding. The Group intends to take a greater hold in the value chain and maintain its strong position within the EU.
