The Board of Goodbye Kansas Group AB (publ) (“Goodbye Kansas” or “Company”) today announces the outcome in the fully guaranteed rights issue of shares with preferential rights for Goodbye Kansas’ shareholders (“Rights Issue”) which was decided by the Board on March 14, 2024 and later approved by an extraordinary general meeting on April 2, 2024. In total, approximately 8,495,690 shares were subscribed for with support of subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 52.6 percent of the Rights Issue. 60,622 shares, corresponding to 0.4 percent of the Rights Issue, have been allotted to individuals that have subscribed for shares without support of subscription rights. This means that approximately 47.0 of the Rights Issue is allotted to underwriting guarantors. Goodbye Kansas thereby raises proceeds of approximately SEK 21.8 million before deduction of set-off of receivables and transaction costs. Approximately 12.3 percent of the Rights Issue was subscribed for through set-off of receivables.
The Rights Issue was fully guaranteed through subscription commitments of approximately SEK 10.3 million, corresponding to 47.1 percent of the Rights Issue and guarantee commitments of approximately SEK 11.5 million, corresponding to approximately 52.9 percent of the Rights Issue, combined corresponding to the total issue of approximately SEK 21.8 million. The subscription period for the Rights Issue ended on April 22, 2023, and the outcome shows that SEK 11.5 million will of the Rights Issue was subscribed for with support of subscription rights. In addition, the Company received requests to subscribe for an additional 0.1 percent without support of subscription rights. This means that underwriting guarantors will subscribe to approximately 47.0 percent of the Rights Issue.
As part of the Rights Issue, allotment of shares subscribed for without support of subscription rights have occurred according to the principles set out in the information memorandum which the Company published on April 5, 2024. Notice of allotment will be made in settlement notes which are sent to each subscriber. Shares should be paid according to instructions in the settlement note. Shareholders registered with an asset manager will receive allotment information in line with the asset manager’s routines. Only those that receive allotment will be notified.
As a result of the Rights Issue, the Company’s share capital will increase by 1,614,165 SEK to 2,190,652.60 SEK. The number of shares thereby increases by 16,141,650 shares to a total of 21,906,526 shares. This will result in a dilution of approximately 73.7 percent based on the number of shares after the Rights Issue is completed.
Trading in paid subscribed shares (BTA) will continue on Nasdaq First North Growth Market under the ticker “GBK BTA” up until the Rights Issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, which is expected to take place during week 18, 2024. BTAs will thereafter be converted into shares.
A fee will be paid to parties that have provided guarantee commitments amounting to twelve (12) percent of the guaranteed amount. No fee will be paid for subscription commitments from existing shareholders. Neither subscription commitments nor guarantee commitments have been secured through bank guarantees, blocked funds, pawned assets or similar.
