Inside information: Rights issue

Company announcement nr. 80-2023

NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA, SWITZERLAND OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURE.

The Board of Directors of Odico A/S (“Odico” or “the Company”) has today decided to increase the Company’s share capital through a rights issue (the “Rights Issue” or the “Issue”) by a minimum nominal DKK 501,600.65 (the “Minimum Offer”) corresponding to 10,032,013 new shares (“New Shares”), and up to a nominal DKK 911,096.30 (the “Maximum Offer”) corresponding to 18,221,926 New Shares, each with a nominal value of DKK 0.05 with a subscription price of DKK 0.76 (the “Subscription Price”) per New Share with pre-emptive rights for Odico’s existing shareholders (“Existing Shareholders”).

The Rights Issue: The Rights Issue offers a total of 18,221,926 New Shares at a Subscription Price per new share of DKK 0.76. The maximum gross proceeds in cash correspond to approximately 13.8 mDKK and net proceeds in cash of 11.6 mDKK after deduction of estimated transaction-related costs of 2.2 mDKK (including guarantor commissions). The Company has obtained pre-subscription commitments in cash of 0.9 mDKK (corresponding to 6.7% of the Issue) from management and co-founder and guarantee commitments of 6.7 mDKK (corresponding to 48.3% of the Issue), which corresponds to minimum gross proceeds of 7.6 mDKK (corresponding to 55.1% of the Issue) gross and 5.8 mDKK net after deduction of transaction related costs of 1.8 mDKK.

The use of funds: The net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be allocated to: (i) investing in additional robot- production cells, (ii) expanding commercial capacity, (iii) supporting working capital, and (iv) repaying short-term debt. The funds raised through a fully subscribed Rights Issue are anticipated to enable the Company to reach a break-even point in the first half of 2025.

1: THE ISSUE

The Rights Issue in brief:

  • The Issue is carried out as a rights issue, where a minimum of 10.032.013 shares and a maximum of 18.221.926 shares are offered.
  • The New Shares are offered with pre-emptive rights for Existing Shareholders. Each Existing Shareholder will receive 1 (one) subscription rights for each 1 (one) existing share held on the record date on 6 November 2023. For each 1 (one) subscription right, 1 (one) New Share can be subscribed.
  • The subscription price per New Share is 0.76 DKK, calculated as 10-days volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) from Monday 16 October 2023 to Friday 27 October 2023, less 60% discount (“Subscription Price”).
  • The subscription period of the Rights Issue will commence on 7 November 2023 at 9:00 a.m. CET (Central European Time = local Danish time) and will close on 20 November 2023 at 5:00 p.m. CET (the “Subscription Period”)
  • Under the assumption of full subscription in the Rights Issue, a total of 18,221,926 New Shares will be issued corresponding to gross proceeds of maximum 13.8 mDKK and net proceeds of 11.6 mDKK after deduction of transaction-related costs of approximately 2.2 mDKK, of which 0.8 mDKK is guarantors commissions and 1.4 mDKK is other transaction related costs.
  • The minimum gross proceeds are 7.6 mDKK (corresponding to 55.1% of the Issue), which is the sum of pre-subscription commitments of 0.9 mDKK (corresponding to 6.7% of the Issue) and guarantee commitments of 6.7 mDKK (48.3%).
  • Odico’s share capital before the Issue amounts to nominally 911,096.30 DKK (corresponding to 18.221.926 shares of nominally 0.05 DKK per share). Upon full subscription of the Issue, the Company’s share capital will amount to nominally 1,822,192.60 divided onto 36,443,852 shares, and upon minimum subscription, the Company’s share capital will amount to 1,412,696.95 DKK divided onto 28,253,939 shares.

2: Background and rationale

The business
In the past decade, Odico has pioneered multiple technologies and products aimed at digitizing and automating the construction industry. This journey of exploration and refinement has transitioned into a promising phase of commercial scale-up, driven by a new management and a strategic partnership model.

Odico has pinpointed six primary business sectors: three existing — Formwork, Panel Cleaning, and Wind Solutions — and three emerging business areas — Special Formwork, SmartStairs, and Carpen. The Company have already marked their presence in the industry, collaborating with key players like Aarsleff, Vinci, Arkil, Doka, PERI, Ringer, and more. These affiliations are poised to grow as the Company’s emerging business areas gear up for commercial activation. Since the close of last fiscal year, Odico has managed to secure orders from key players such as Adserballe & Knudsen, Arkil, Kaj Bech, EMR and the Femern Belt Project. Furthermore, a significant million-order from the wind turbine sector and +4 mDKK order from a Danish company in the construction industry.

The immediate goal is to achieve break-even in the first half of 2025. Proceeds from a fully subscribed Rights Issue will provide the financial stability needed to realize this ambition.

 

The use of funds
There are four primary areas Odico will focus on to reach break-even within the ongoing financial year.

  1. Investing in additional robots/production cells

The existing pipeline of Odico displays a high chance that the Company will be low in capacity to execute and deliver orders from customers. To maintain the increased level of activity and demand, Odico will allocate funds towards investment in additional robots/production cells.

   2. Expanding commercial capacity

As the customer base increases and becomes more geographically dispersed, additional commercial resources are added

   3. Supporting working capital

As Odico continues its phase of scaling up, it finds itself collaborating with some of the most significant players in the industry. Such an expansion phase often brings with it particular working capital requirements, However, with the funds of this Issue, The Company is not just looking to address these temporary financial hurdles. Instead, it aims to substantially fortify its working capital, ensuring it stands on a resilient financial foundation.

   4. Repaying short-term debt

Odico obtained short-term bridge financing of 3,0 mDKK until the announced Rights Issue and will use a part of the funds to repay this debt.

Risk factors
Investing in Odico's shares carries a financial risk. Potential investors should carefully consider various risks, including general and company-specific factors, which could negatively impact Odico's business, reputation, revenue, operations, financial position, and stock price. There may even be risks not currently known or deemed insignificant by the management that could emerge in the future.

Management is responsible for risk management, including mapping, assessment of probabilities, potential impacts as well as mitigating measures. Executive Management reports to the Board of Directors on all important matters, including risk management and findings. Although no guarantees can be given that other risks will not emerge and have negative adverse effects on the business, Management believes that the key risks can be summarized as follows:

Operational Risk: Odico's new management has introduced the Company’s partnership strategy. This approach lays the foundation for Odico's current operations and future aspirations. However, this business model comes with associated risks, especially regarding the goal to break even within the next fiscal year. By adopting a partnership-centric strategy, the Company collaborates with the market's leading players, but this could challenge its negotiation strength related to credit and delivery. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning working capital and managing customer payments.

Lead Time and Counterparty Risk: Odico’s business model is dependent on counterparties and their ability to deliver key input materials on time. If relevant counterparties fail to deliver relevant input materials Odico requires, the Company faces the risk of having to delay projects. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning the lead time for materials as well as counterparty risk.

Risk Of New Strategy: The Company has decided to transform the business and use the partnership strategy as the foundation for the business and future growth. This means that Odico is changing how revenue is generated compared to before the new strategy was implemented. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning solid development regarding the new strategy. 

Project Based Risk: Odico’s business model is primarily built on non-recurring projects. This structure imposes a risk regarding the future outlook for the Company and its financial performance, as the business model is dependent on projects running either simultaneously or in close connection with each other. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning future orderbook, timing of projects, and, as a result, risks concerning working capital.

Funding And financial risk: At the time of this announcement, The Company is in a position where the current working capital is sufficient to finance Odico’s activities for the next twelve months, taking underwriting commitments into account. At full subscription the Company will be able to execute on all planned activities, whereas a minimum subscription will allow the company to continue more limited activities. As a result, The Company faces financial risk should the Rights Issue not be fully subscribed.

 7: LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

General rights attached to the New Shares
The New Shares will have identical rights as the existing shares. These include voting rights, the right to receive dividends, and the right to participate in the proceeds in case of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company. Further, all shares have equal rights in the event of insolvency, liquidation, or winding up. The rights of the shareholders can only be changed in accordance with the procedures specified in the Articles of Association and the Danish Companies Act (no. 1451 of 09/11 2022).

The New Shares expected to be issued in connection with the Rights Issue are ordinary shares, and no shares of the Company carry special rights. The New Shares are negotiable instruments and there are no restrictions on negotiability. At General Meetings, each share has one vote, and each shareholder can vote for their full number of shares without limitation. The right of a shareholder to attend a general meeting and to vote is determined by the shares held by the shareholder on the record date.

Rights to dividend
The New Shares will, when fully paid up and registered with the Danish Business Authority, have the same rights as the existing shares, including with respect to eligibility for any dividends paid to shareholders of shares. Odico is a growth company and has not, since its formation, paid dividends to the shareholders. The Board of Directors intends to finance development, operations, and growth with a combination of the possible profit and, if needed, future equity issues. In the event of a dividend, all shares in the Company carry equal rights to dividends. Consequently, the New Shares from the Rights Issue are eligible for dividends as of the date of registration with the Danish Business Authority. The New Shares from the Rights Issue entitled to dividends from the date of registration with the Danish Business Authority and applicable to current and future financial years. The registration is expected to take place on 27 November 2023. Further, the right to dividends applies to investors who are registered as shareholders in Odico on the record day applicable for the distribution of dividends.

Any dividends will be paid in DKK to the shareholder's account with VP Securities. No restrictions on dividends or special procedures apply to shareholders of shares who are not residing in Denmark. Dividend withholding tax may be withheld by the Company in accordance with applicable Danish law.

Dividends that have not been claimed by shareholders within three (3) years from the time they are payable will, in accordance with applicable Danish law, be forfeited and will accrue to the Company. Odico has a no-dividends policy, and no dividends are planned.

Pre-emptive Subscription Rights
Under Danish law, the shareholders generally have pre-emptive Subscription Rights if the general meeting of the Company resolves to increase the share capital by cash payment. However, the pre-emptive Subscription Rights of the shareholders are subject to exceptions due to authorizations granted by the general meeting.

8: OTHER INFORMATION

Compliance
Any holders of Subscription Rights that exercise any of their Subscription Rights shall be deemed to have represented that they have complied with all applicable laws. Custodian banks exercising Subscription Rights on behalf of beneficial holders shall be deemed to have represented that they have complied with the Issue procedures set forth in this Announcement. Upon expiry of the Subscription Period, any Subscription Rights not exercised will lapse without value, and the holders of lapsed Subscription Rights will not be entitled to any compensation.

Every investor should be aware that their respective bank/financial institute may classify subscription of shares as a complex product and may, therefore, request information from the investor before subscription can be carried out.

Legal regulations
The New Shares are issued according to the Danish Companies Act (no. 1451 of 09/11 2022) and the Company’s Articles of Association as of the date of this Announcement. Odico is, moreover, subject to general Danish legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and the Danish Act on Capital Markets (no. 41 of 13/01/2023).

Tax considerations
An investment in the Issue may result in tax consequences for the investor. Odico is a Danish registered company that has unlimited tax liability in Denmark. The Company’s New Shares will be traded on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark, a multilateral trading facility (MTF), and the shares in Odico are therefore covered by the Danish tax rules for listed shares. The tax legislation in the investor’s jurisdiction may have an effect on any income received from the Issue described in this Announcement. Taxation of any dividend, as well as capital gains tax and rules regarding capital losses on sale of securities, depends on the individual investors’ specific situation. Shareholders may need to consult their own accountant or tax adviser for a closer assessment of tax consequences, including applicability and effect of foreign tax rules and tax treaties when a shareholder being in Odico.
