As stated in company announcement of 27 September 2017, the Offer has been fully subscribed for.
Completion of the Offer
The bank has now received the full subscription amount of DKK 744,973,396. Therefore, the bank has today carried through the Offer and registered the capital increase of nominally DKK 744,973,396 with the Danish Business Authority.
The bank’s total gross proceeds from the Offer constitute DKK 744,973,396. The net proceeds from the Offer amount to approx. DKK 715 million, following deduction of costs payable in connection with the Offer.
The Offered Shares will as soon as possible be admitted to trading and official listing at NASDAQ Copenhagen A/S under the permanent ISIN code for the bank’s existing shares (ISIN VJBA DK0010304500). The expected first day of trading and official listing will be 2 October 2017.
Share capital after the Offer
As a consequence of completion of the Offer, Vestjysk Bank’s share capital has been increased by nominally DKK 744,973,396, and the bank’s share capital will subsequently amount to nominally DKK 895,981,517, divided into shares of nominally DKK 1, corresponding to 895,981,517 votes. Consequently, Vestjysk Bank’s articles of association have been amended and will be available on the bank’s website.
