Risk Intelligence successfully completes directed share issue of approx. DKK 5.7 million
20 March 2023 | Company announcement No 11-2023
The Board of Directors of Risk Intelligence A/S has, with support from the authorisation granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 8 December 2022 and as indicated in the press release published on 20 March 2023, resolved to issue 600,000 new shares at the price of DKK 2.00 per share.
The price was established through an accelerated book-building procedure. At the same time the Board resolved to issue 1,960,642 new shares at the price of DKK 2.28 per share against existing debt. The price is based on the trading price on Friday 24 February used for the agreement of debt for equity swap of 27 February.
CEO Hans Tino Hansen says:
“The directed issue against cash and debt conversion to equity of about DKK 5.7 million is the second step in the funding strategy to support the 2025 Strategy. The aim of the funding strategy is to substantially reduce debt, reduce capital costs, re-establish equity, provide sufficient liquidity for operations and to provide capital for investments in technology and growth to support the entire 2025 Strategy. In total, debt has now been reduced by approx. DKK 10 million since 1January 2023 which is a significant step towards fulfilling the funding strategy.”
The directed share issue
With support from the authorisation granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 8 December 2022, the Board of Directors has carried out a directed share issue of 2,560,642 new shares. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is mainly to strengthen the Company’s financial position in a short and cost-effective timeframe.
The directed share issue will result in a direct reduction of debt of DKK 4.5 million. With the reduction in debt from the directed share issue of 27 February and reduction of debt from operational cash-flow, the total debt reduction since 1 January amounts to approximately DKK 10 million in total.
The new shares will be admitted to trading on Spotlight Stock Market following their issuance and registration. The Company today has a share capital of DKK 1,277,774.70 divided between a total number of 12,777,747 shares. After the transaction the Company will have a share capital of DKK 1,533,838.90 divided between a total number of 15,338,389 shares. The directed share issue will entail a dilution for the current shareholders of approximately 16.7 percent calculated by dividing the number of new shares and votes with the total number of shares and votes in the Company after registration of the new shares.
Funding for 2025
The third step in the funding strategy will be carried out at a later stage within the strategy period. In addition, the company has secured funding facilities of a total of DKK 6.5 million based on market arm’s length principles (currently 12% p.a.) from individuals in the company network. The facilities will be a reserve and may be used partly or in full, or not used at all, depending on need which will not exceed 6.5 mill during the period. No costs or fees are involved if the facilities are unused.
