Precise Biometrics announces launch of private placement of new shares
Precise Biometrics AB (“Precise”) today announces the launch of a private placement of new shares (“New Shares”) through a directed new share issue.
Precise has retained Carnegie Investment Bank AB as placing agents in a private placement of New Shares directed towards international institutional investors and qualified investors in Sweden (the “Private Placement”).
The price of the New Shares will be determined through an accelerated book-building procedure, and the New Shares will be admitted to trading on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm following their issuance and registration. The placing will start immediately. The minimum order in the Private Placement has been set to the number of shares that equals an aggregate purchase price of at least the equivalent of SEK 1,000,000. Pricing and allocation of the Private Placement is expected to take place before beginning of trading on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at 09:00 CET on September 6, 2013. The total amount of New Shares to be offered in the Private Placement will be determined in the book-building process.
The proceeds from the Private Placement will further enhance the company’s working capital related to growth and order financing.
The Private Placement is subject (inter alia) to resolution by the Board of Directors of Precise, pursuant to the authorization given by the 2013 annual general meeting, to issue New Shares following close of the Private Placement book-building procedure.
The above information has been made public in accordance with the Securities Market Act. The information was submitted for publication at on 6.35 pm CET September 5, 2013.
