Adventure Box has today resolved on directed issues of shares and will raise a total of approximately MSEK 2.95, subject to approval by the general meeting
The Board of Directors of Adventure Box Technology AB (publ) ("Adventure Box" or the "Company") has today resolved on a capital raise whereby the Company will receive approximately MSEK 2.95 through directed issues of a total of 18,468,750 shares (the ''Directed Issue"). The Directed Issue is carried out with a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and has been resolved by the Board of Directors, partly by virtue of authorization and partly subject to the subsequent approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting. The Board of Directors has therefore today, by virtue of the authorization from the Annual General Meeting held on 16 May 2023, carried out a directed issue of 5,740,628 shares. In addition, the Board of Directors has resolved on a directed issue of 12,728,122 shares, subject to the approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting. The subscription price per share in the Directed Issue has been set at SEK 0.16 through negotiations with the investors at arm's length. Investors in the Directed Issue consist of a number of Danish investors and the investment company Rightbridge Ventures Group AB ("Investors"). An Extraordinary General Meeting is expected to be held on 9 January 2024.
The Directed Issue
The Board of Directors of Adventure Box has today resolved on directed issues of a total of not more than 18,468,750 shares at a subscription price of SEK 0.16 per share, to be carried out in two tranches. The first tranche was carried out today after the Board of Directors, by virtue of the authorization from the Annual General Meeting held on 16 May 2023, resolved on an issue of not more than 5,740,628 shares which were subscribed for by Blue Horizon Investment ApS, J.Søe Holding ApS, Dennis Lolk, TFH Medical Consulting ApS and Lemaris ApS. The second tranche is carried out through an issue of not more than 12,728,112 shares and is directed to the remaining investors (Rightbridge Ventures Group AB and Blue Horizon Investment ApS), subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting which is expected to be held on 9 January 2024. In addition, the Board of Directors intends to propose that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves on amendments of the limits for the share capital and the number of shares in the Articles of Association to enable the share issue in the second tranche. The Directed Issue has been directed to the Investors Rightbridge Ventures Group AB, Blue Horizon Investment ApS, J.Søe Holding ApS, Dennis Lolk, TFH Medical Consulting ApS and Lemaris ApS.
The company will receive approximately MSEK 0.92 in the first tranche and will receive a further approximately MSEK 2.03 if the general meeting approves the Board of Directors' resolution on a shares issue to the Investors in the second tranche. The subscription price in the Directed Issue has been determined through negotiations with the Investors at arm's length and corresponds to a discount of approximately 20 percent in relation to the closing price of the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market the day before the issue resolution. The Board of Directors therefore makes the assessment that the subscription price has been determined in such a way that market fairness has been ensured and that it reflects current market conditions and demand. Through the Directed Issue, the Company receives proceeds of a total of approximately MSEK 2.95, before deduction of costs attributable to the share issues.
An Extraordinary General Meeting is expected to be held on 9 January 2024, and more details about the share issue in the second tranche can be found in the notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting, which will be published in a separate press release.
Background and motive
The purpose of the directed issue is to enable customer projects, amortisation of loans and to acquire working capital for the Company.
The reason for the deviation from shareholders' preferential rights is that the Company's Board of Directors has investigated the conditions and carefully considered the possibility of carrying out a rights issue in order to raise the required capital. The Company's Board of Directors believes that carrying out a rights issue would entail a risk that the Company cannot meet its capital needs and at the same time maintain an optimal capital structure. The Board of Directors' conclusion is that a rights issue would entail significantly longer implementation time and thus entail an increased market risk exposure compared to a directed share issue and could lead to the Company missing out on the opportunity to make investments. Given the volatility that has been observed in the market during 2023, and which continues to prevail, the Board of Directors has assessed that a rights issue would also require significant underwriting commitments from an underwriting consortium. This would entail additional costs and/or further dilution for the shareholders depending on the type of consideration paid for such underwriting commitments, especially taking into account the total issue proceeds in the Directed Issue in relation to the market value of the Company's shares. In addition, a rights issue would likely have been made at a lower subscription price, given the discount levels for rights issues that have been carried out in the market recently. The Board of Directors assesses that the total capital that the Company receives through the Directed Issue is limited, and that the costs of a rights issue would be high in relation to the acquired capital. The Board of Directors' overall assessment is thus that the reasons for carrying out the Directed Issue in this way outweigh the reasons that justify the main rule of issuing shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders, and that an issue with a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is in the interest of the Company and all shareholders.
Shares and share capital
Assuming registration of a total of 18,468,750 shares in the Directed Issue, the number of shares in the Company increases by 18,468,750, from 30,139,372 to 48,608,122, and the share capital increases by SEK 1,846,875, from SEK 3,013,937.20 to 4,860 SEK 812.20, which entails a dilution of approximately 38 percent.
