Reference is made to the stock exchange release by Huddlestock Fintech AS
("Huddlestock") published on 9 May 2022, announcing the acquisition of the
software developer F5 IT AS. The agreement was successfully completed on 26
October 2022.
The acquisition was planned to be carried out by way of a share swap between the
parties, with Huddlestock transferring 6,666,667 treasury shares to the seller.
Upon executing the agreement, the parties have instead chosen to settle the
purchase price for F5 It AS by issuing to the seller 6,666,667 new shares (the "
Consideration Shares") in Huddlestock by way of a share capital increase in
Huddlestock. The choice of closing the transaction by issuing the Consideration
Shares was due to HuddlestocksŽ preference in maintaining the current holding of
treasury shares for potential new opportunities arising.
The share capital increase was resolved by the board of directors of Huddlestock
on 26 October 2022, whereby the Consideration Shares were issued each with a
nominal value of NOK 0,0019 per share, in total a share capital increase of NOK
12,666.6673. Following the registration of the capital increase, Huddlestock
will have 135,409,615 issued shares and a share capital of NOK 257,278.2685.
The seller has entered into a three-year lock-up agreement for a total of
5,714,286 of the Consideration Shares, each with 952,381 shares being released
from the lock-up each consecutive 6 months.
