Zwipe AS
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcements published by Zwipe AS (the "Company") on 14 December 2023, regarding the final results of a rights issue of units, each consisting of one new share in the Company, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10 and one warrant of series T01 (the "Warrants"), with preferential rights for existing shareholders raising gross proceeds of approximately NOK 35.0 million (the "2023 Rights Issue"). Reference is further made to the stock exchange announcement made by the Company on 3 January 2024 regarding information about the Warrants.
The 2023 Rights Issue resulted in the issuance of 64,823,988 Warrants, of which 40,889,612 Warrants were allocated to subscribers in the Rights Issue and 13,480,092 Warrants were allocated to the top guarantor in connection with the issuance of a convertible loan, that constituted the top guarantee commitment under the 2023 Rights Issue (the “2023 Convertible Loan”).
Two (2) Warrants entitle to the subscription of one (1) new share in the Company in the period commencing today, 2 December 2024 and ending on 13 December 2024 (the “Exercise Period”).
The subscription price upon exercise of the Warrants shall for subscription of one share in the Company be 70% of the ten-day VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) of the Company's shares on Euronext Growth Oslo the last ten (10) trading days prior to commencement of the Exercise Period, but never lower than NOK 0.10 per share and never higher than 1.20 per share. Based on this, the subscription price has been set at NOK 0.11 per new share.
If all Warrants are exercised, the Company could raise an amount of NOK 3,565,319.34. Holders of Warrants may either sell their Warrants or use them to subscribe for shares in the Company, in both cases within the deadlines stated above. If the Warrants are not sold or exercised within the respective deadlines, the Warrants will lapse with no compensation to the holders. For more information pertaining to the Warrants, please see the prospectus prepared in connection with the 2023 Rights Issue, which is available on the Company's website www.zwipe.com and on the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's website, www.fi.se.
