From the issuance of the Offer shares, gross proceeds of DKK 60m are assigned to the Company. SameSystem intends to accelerate the Company’s European growth journey. With a strong product-market fit, all-around proof of concept, and a scalable and competent organization geared for growth, SameSystem is ready to scale and capitalize on its already strong position in Europe. The capital raised in the Offering will primarily be invested into three key areas: market expansion, product development and other direct and indirect costs.

SameSystem’s CEO, Henrik Salicath, states about the successful results: “We are very pleased with the result of the offering and thankful for the trust, the new investors have placed in SameSystem and our expansion strategy. With the proceeds from the offering, we have the means to reach our goals set out in the prospectus and reach a solid customer base in 23 countries in 2023. Our solution has already proved its value with some of Europe’s largest retailers, and we look forward to attracting even more customers with more local sales hubs and continuous strengthening of our existing country organizations.”
Chairman of the Board, Søren Ingerslev, shares his thoughts on the results: “The retail and foodservice industries have experienced significant technological disruption in recent years converting manual processes to digital processes which have pushed these companies to proactively manage their workforce for the benefit of both employees and management. SameSystem is a key factor in addressing these challenges in the industries, so we look forward to accelerating our growth journey with the proceeds from this successful offering.”
