NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN
OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS,
ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) (THE
"UNITED STATES"), AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION
OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH
THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
Amersfoort, The Netherlands -12 March 2024
Envipco Holding N.V. ("Envipco" or the "Company") has resolved to launch a
private placement of new ordinary shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares")
raising gross proceeds of approximately NOK 300 million (the "Offering") to
qualified investors. The number of Offer Shares and price per share (the "Offer
Price") will be set through an accelerated bookbuilding process. Existing
shareholders of the Company will not have pre-emptive rights in relation to the
new shares to be issued. The final number of Offer Shares and the Offer Price
will be determined by the Company's board of directors (the "Board") in its sole
discretion.
The general meeting of the Company has on 15 August 2023 delegated its powers to
issue shares in the capital of the Company or grant rights to subscribe for
Shares and to exclude pre-emptive rights in relation thereto to the Board, up to
a maximum of 20% of the number of outstanding shares in the Company (i.e. up to
10,338,075 Shares) (the "Authorisation").
The bookbuilding period in the Offering will commence on 12 March 2024 at 17:30
CET and close on 13 March 2024 at 08:00 CET. Carnegie AS and Skandinaviska
Enskilda Banken AB (publ) (the "Managers") and the Company may, however, at any
time resolve to close or extend the bookbuilding period. If the bookbuilding
period is shortened or extended, any other dates referred to herein may be
amended accordingly.
The Company continues to deliver on its European growth strategy and is well
positioned to win target share of new market opportunities. Hence, the Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to (i) strengthen the
Company's footprint to capitalize on new market opportunities, (ii) working
capital, (iii) M&A, and (iv) general corporate purposes.
The Board has resolved to initiate an up-listing to Oslo Børs (the main list on
the Oslo Stock Exchange) and aim to complete such listing within the next 12
months.
The Company's shares are listed on Euronext Amsterdam and Euronext Growth Oslo,
under the ticker ENVI and ENVIP, respectively. The shares issued and delivered
in the Offering will be in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository and will
not be tradable on Euronext Amsterdam unless subject to a registration process
through Euroclear Netherlands, the central security depositary in the
Netherlands.
Completion of the Offering is subject to necessary corporate resolutions by the
Board required to complete the Private Placement, including the Board resolving
to proceed with the Private Placement and to issue the Offer Shares and exclude
related pre-emption rights pursuant to the Authorisation.
The Offering will be directed towards Norwegian and international investors,
subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing and
prospectus requirements, and subject to other applicable selling restrictions.
The minimum application and allocation amount has been set to EUR 100,000. The
Company may, however, at its sole discretion, allocate amounts below EUR 100,000
to the extent exemptions from the prospectus requirements in accordance with
applicable regulations, including the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and
ancillary regulations, are available. The new shares to be issued in connection
with the Offering will be issued based on the Authorisation.
Allocation of the shares in the Offering will be determined at the end of the
bookbuilding period, and final allocation will be made by the Board at its sole
discretion, following advice from the Managers. The Company expect to announce
the final subscription price and the number of Offer Shares allocated in the
Offering through a stock exchange release on 13 March 2024. First day of trading
in the allocated Offer Shares in the Private Placement on Euronext Growth Oslo
is expected on 13 March 2024.
The allocated Offer Shares are expected to be settled through a delivery versus
payment transaction by delivery of existing and unencumbered shares in the
Company that are already listed, pursuant to a share lending agreement entered
into between the Managers, the Company, Gregory Garvey Family Investments LLC
(an entity controlled by Mr. Garvey) and Mr. Gregory Garvey, which shares are
included and registered in Euroclear Netherlands, the central security
depository in the Netherlands, but will be transferred and registered in the
Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the "VPS"). Further settlement details
will be stated in the allocation notice.
The Board has considered the structure of the contemplated capital raise in
light of the equal treatment obligations under the rules on equal treatment of
Oslo Rule Book II for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the Oslo
Stock Exchange's guidelines on the rule of equal treatment, and is of the
opinion that the proposed Offering is in compliance with these requirements. By
structuring the transaction as a private placement, the Company will be in a
position to raise capital in an efficient manner, with a lower discount to the
current trading price and with significantly lower completion risks compared to
a rights issue. In addition, the Offering is subject to marketing through a
publicly announced bookbuilding process and a market-based offer price should
therefore be achieved. On this basis and based on an assessment of the current
equity markets, the Board has considered the Offering to be in the common
interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Subject to, among other things, completion of the Offering, required shareholder
approvals (if any), approval of a prospectus and prevailing market price of the
Company's shares, the Board will consider whether it is appropriate to propose
to carry out a subsequent offering (the "Subsequent Offering") at the Offer
Price. Any such Subsequent Offering, if applicable and subject to applicable
securities laws, would be directed towards existing shareholders in the Company
as of 12 March 2024 (as registered in the VPS, and Euroclear Netherlands if
proposed by the Board, two trading days thereafter) who (i) did not accept to be
crossed during the wall-crossing phase of the Private Placement, (ii) were not
allocated New Shares in the Private Placement and (iii) are not resident in a
jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (other than Norway)
require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action.
