Photocat successfully completes private placement of around SEK 9.6 million to Swedish investors.
Photocat A/S (publ) (Photocat or the Company) today announces that it has completed a private placement of 375.792 new shares to Swedish investors at a price of SEK 25.50 per share, providing the Company with around SEK 9.6 million before transaction related costs.
The price per share is approximately on par with 40 days volume weighted average price for Photocat's stock and the pricing of the share also considered the high volatility and low liquidity of the stock.
The private placement comprised an offering to around 20 investors. The largest investors in the placing being LMK Forward AB and Mikael Lönn.
The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights by conducting a directed new share issue is to ensure further equity in a short timeframe. The Board's view is that this directed offering will contribute to the benefit of all shareholders and would like to extend its gratitude to the participating investors.
The placement increases Photocat share capital from DKK 1.980.508 to DKK 2.356.300. After the placement, the total number of shares in Photocat will be 2.356.300. Existing shareholders will see dilution of approximately 16 percent after completion of the placement.
