On 9 March 2021, LMK Group AB (publ) (“LMK Group” or the “Company”), operating under four brands; Linas Matkasse (Sweden), Godtlevert and Adams Matkasse (Norway), and RetNemt Måltidskasser (Denmark), announced its intention to conduct an offering of the Company’s shares and to list the Company's shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market (the “Offering”). The Offering consists of existing shares in LMK Group offered by selling shareholders[1] and new shares issued by the Company. The Offering is directed to institutional investors in Sweden and internationally as well as to the general public in Sweden. The Company has prepared a prospectus in connection with the Offering which today has been approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen) and has been published on the Company's web page. Trading in the Company’s shares is expected to commence on 29 March 2021.

The Offering in brief:

  • The Offering is conducted at a fixed price of SEK 79.50 per share, corresponding to a total market value of the Company's shares of approximately SEK 760 million prior to the Offering.
  • The Offering includes a new share issue that is expected to raise approximately SEK 250 million before deduction of costs relating to the Offering, as well as a sale of existing shares corresponding to approximately SEK 250 million offered by Herkules Capital[2], PopSpinach AB[3], Rocky Beans AB[4], Acton Capital[5], Creandum Advisor[6] and a larger group of smaller shareholders.
  • In order to cover a potential over-allotment in connection with the Offering, the selling shareholders have undertaken an option, upon request by Pareto Securities, on behalf of the Joint Global Coordinators, to sell additional existing shares up to approximately SEK 75 million, or maximum 15 percent of the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option”).
  • Provided that the Over-Allotment Option is fully exercised, the Offering is expected to amount to approximately SEK 575 million, which corresponds to approximately 57 percent of the share capital of LMK Group after the Offering.
  • Prior to the Offering, five investors have undertaken to subscribe for shares under certain conditions, and at the same price as other investors, corresponding to a total value of SEK 259 million. The five investors’ commitments are distributed as follows:

Walker Kinman, CEO, comments:
”With the listing of LMK Group at Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market, we take the next step in our development where we will continue to deliver profitable growth based on innovation, quality and healthy food. We have already met a solid interest from investors who see the potential in our platform, which is positioned to leverage from consumers’ increased demand for sustainable and personalised meal kits that contribute to decreased food waste, in combination with accelerated digitalisation. Unlike many other industries, the shift from shopping in the physical grocery store to ordering food online is still in its early stages. The entire company and I are looking forward to welcoming new shareholders on our continued journey.”

Background to the Offering
The selling shareholders have been owners in LMK Group for a long period. Herkules Capital has been the largest owner in the Company since 2015 and currently owns approximately 29.3 percent. Niklas Aronsson and Carolina Gebäck founded the Company in 2008 and currently own approximately 20.1 percent and approximately 13.4 percent of LMK Group respectively through PopSpinach AB and Rocky Beans AB. Acton Capital and Creandum Advisors invested in the Company in 2011 and own approximately 8.4 percent in LMK Group, separately. All selling shareholders have been shareholders in LMK Group for over six years and believe that now is the right time to increase the Company’s shareholder base.

LMK Group's Board of Directors and Management are of the opinion that the Offering together with an increased shareholder base will promote the Company's continued growth and development. A listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market entails increased credibility and visibility as well as a quality stamp that the Company considers beneficial towards customer relationships, to attract and retain staff and in relation to suppliers.

The gross proceeds of approximately SEK 250 million from the new share issue in the Offering are intended to be used to (1) acquire the remaining shares of RetNemt.dk ApS in Denmark, (2) redeem the group’s outstanding bond and (3) finance transaction related costs and general corporate purposes.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "may", "plan", "estimate", "will", "should", "could", "aim" or "might", or, in each case, their negative, or similar expressions.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that they will materialize or prove to be correct. Because these statements are based on assumptions or estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results or outcome could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

Information to distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in LMK Group have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process in the United Kingdom, the target market assessment in respect of the shares in the Company has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for such shares is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of such shares to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate (the "UK Target Market Assessment" and, together with the EU Target Market Assessment, the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the shares in LMK Group may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in LMK Group offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in LMK Group is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or UK MiFIR; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in LMK Group.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in LMK Group and determining appropriate distribution channels.
