NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE
UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES
DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") is pleased to announce that
Induct has successfully completed a Private Placement, raising gross proceeds of
NOK 6.04 million through the placement of 1,886,230 new shares (the "New
Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 3.20 per share (the "Offer Price").
1,793,921 shares will be issued through conversion of debt and 92,309 shares
will be issued for cash consideration.
The purpose of the transaction is to strengthen the company's balance sheet by
significantly reducing interest-bearing debt, leaving Induct AS free from
external interest-bearing debt held by anyone, but the government such as
Innovasjon Norge. This materially improves the company's financial flexibility,
lowers risk, and enhances balance sheet strength. The Board believes that this
improved financial position will support the company's ability to negotiate and
enter into strategic agreements. A small cash component in the placement will
also provide additional working capital.
Notifications of allocation and payment instructions will be distributed to the
applicants who have been allocated New Shares on 7 July 2025. Payment for the
allocated shares is expected to take place on or about 10 July 2025.
The following primary insiders and close associates have been allocated shares
in the Private Placement, as further specified in the attached notification
forms:
o Montebello Vinselskap & Invest, a close associate of chairman of the board
Karl Anders Grønland, has been allocated 31,250 shares
o Synnøve Jacobsen, CEO of Induct, has been allocated 10,000 shares
o Solvik Holding, a close associate of board member Ole Jørgen Karud, has been
allocated 6,518 shares
Primary insider notification pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation Article
19 are attached.
The private placement implies a deviation from existing shareholders'
pre-emptive rights. The Board considers such deviation to be necessary in order
to secure timely financing on acceptable terms and to strengthen the company's
financial position. The private placement was resolved by the Board of Directors
under an existing authorisation granted by the annual general meeting on 12 June
2025.
The subscription price has been set at NOK 3.20 per share. This represents a
discount of approximately 15% to the 20-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP)
of NOK 3.77 and approximately 15% to the 10-day VWAP of NOK 3.76, based on
closing prices and trading volumes on Euronext Growth Oslo.
The share capital increase is subject to registration in the Norwegian Register
of Business Enterprises (Foretaksregisteret) and the issuance of the new shares
in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS). The new shares will be
tradable on Euronext Growth Oslo upon delivery.
