NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR TO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA, BELARUS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH DISTRIBUTION REQUIRES FURTHER PROSPECTUS, REGISTRATION, OR OTHER ACTIONS OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER SWEDISH LAW, ARE PROHIBITED, OR OTHERWISE CONTRARY TO APPLICABLE RULES IN SUCH JURISDICTION OR CANNOT TAKE PLACE WITHOUT APPLICATION OF EXCEPTIONS FROM SUCH ACTION. SEE ALSO THE "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" SECTION AT THE END OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.
Coala-Life Group AB ("Coala" or the "Company") announces that the Company's Board of Directors, with support of the authorization granted by an extraordinary general meeting on 22 December 2023, has resolved to issue 33,438,167 shares as guarantee commitment consideration, corresponding to approximately SEK 2.0 million, to four of the guarantors who provided guarantee commitments in the Company's rights issue of units whose subscription period ended on 22 January 2024 (the "Rights Issue") in accordance with guarantee agreements entered into. The Company's financial commitment for guarantee commitment considerations is thereby reduced by approximately SEK 1.7 million.
For the guarantee commitments in connection with the Rights Issue, a cash consideration of twelve (12.0) percent of the guaranteed amount, alternatively fourteen (14.0) percent in the form of newly issued shares in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 0.06 per new share, was paid. Four guarantors have chosen to receive guarantee commitment consideration in the form of newly issued shares and the Board of Directors of the Company will therefore, with the support of the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting on 22 December 2023, issue a total of 33,438,167 new shares to the guarantors Buntel AB (16,333,333 new shares for set-off of a consideration amounting to SEK 979,999.98), Formue Nord Markedsneutral A/S (16,333,333 new shares for set-off of a consideration amounting to SEK 979,999.98), Daniel Frändberg (466,666 new shares for set-off of a consideration amounting to SEK 27,999.96) and Nils-Holger Olsson (304,835 new shares for set-off of a consideration amounting to SEK 18,290.10). The Company's financial commitment for guarantee commitment considerations is thereby reduced by approximately SEK 1.7 million.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to fulfill guarantee agreements that were entered into in order to ensure the required level of participation in the Rights Issue. The shares are issued at a price of SEK 0.06 per share, which has been determined through arm's length negotiations within the procurement of the guarantee consortium in connection with the Rights Issue and corresponds to the subscription price per new share in the Rights Issue (where the subscription price per unit, consisting of four new shares and one warrant free of charge, amounted to SEK 0.24). The Board of Directors therefore assesses that the subscription price is in accordance with market conditions.
After registration of the shares issued in the Rights Issue, the number of shares and votes will amount to 1,231,400,576. Following registration of the 33,438,167 additional new shares issued to guarantors, the number of shares and votes in the Company will amount to 1,264,838,743. In connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, a resolution regarding a bonus issue and reduction of the share capital will also be registered in accordance with the resolution of an extraordinary general meeting on 22 December 2023. The dilution that will occur as a result of the directed issue to guarantors amounts to approximately 2.6 percent after the Rights Issue has been registered.
