Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Andfjord Salmon Group AS (the "Company") on 19 March 2025 regarding the registration of a national prospectus (the "Prospectus") for the subsequent offering of up to 1,714,286 new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 35 per Offer Share, with gross proceeds of up to approximately NOK 60 million (the "Subsequent offering").
The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering (the "Subscription Period") commences today, 21 March 2025 at 09:00 hours (CET) and expires on 31 March 2025 at 16:30 hours (CEST), unless shortened or extended in accordance with the Prospectus.
The Subsequent Offering is, subject to applicable securities law, directed towards shareholders in the Company as of 26 February 2025, as registered with the VPS on 28 February 2025 (the "Record Date"), who were not allocated shares in the private placement of 17,142,858 new shares announced by the Company on 26 and 27 February 2025 (the "Private Placement"), and who are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or (for jurisdictions other than Norway) would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action ("Eligible Shareholders").
Eligible Shareholders will receive non-transferable subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights") where each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable securities laws, give the right to subscribe for and be allocated one (1) Offer Share at the Offer Price in the Subsequent Offering. Each Eligible Shareholder will receive 0.0544 Subscription Rights for every share recorded as held as of the Record Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Subscription Right. Over-subscription is permitted, but there can be no assurance that Offer Shares will be allocated for such over-subscriptions. Subscription without Subscription Rights is not permitted. Subscription Rights that are not used to subscribe for Offer Shares before expiry of the Subscription Period will have no value and will lapse without compensation to the holder.
Subscriptions for Offer Shares must be made by submitting a correctly completed subscription form to one of the Managers (as defined below) during the Subscription Period, or may, for subscribers who are residents of Norway with a Norwegian personal identification number, be made online. Please see the Prospectus for further information about the Subsequent Offering, including subscription procedures and the complete terms of the Subsequent Offering. The Prospectus (including the subscription form for the Subsequent Offering) is, subject to applicable securities laws, available on the following websites: www.abgsc.com, www.arctic.com, and www.sb1markets.no. Subscriptions may only be made on the basis of the Prospectus.
Allocation of Offer Shares in the Subsequent Offering is expected to take place on or about 1 April 2025, and the payment date for Offer Shares allocated to subscribers will be 3 April 2025. Subject to timely payment of the Offer Shares allocated in the Subsequent Offering, and subject to registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the issuance of Offer Shares with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, the Offer Shares are expected to be delivered in the VPS on or about 11 April 2025.
Completion of the Subsequent Offering is subject to (i) completion of the Private Placement; (ii) due payment of the Offer Shares by the subscribers, (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company resolving to approve the Subsequent Offering and issue and allocate the Offer Shares based on the authorization granted by the general meeting of the Company held on 13 March 2025, (iv) registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, and (v) delivery of the Offer Shares to the subscribers in the VPS. The Company reserves the right to cancel the Subsequent Offering.
ABG Sundal Collier ASA, Arctic Securities AS and SpareBank 1 Markets AS act as managers for the Subsequent Offering (the "Managers"). Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS acts as legal advisor to the Company in connection with the Subsequent Offering.
