Oslo, 30 April 2025: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Lokotech Group AS (the "Company") on 3 March 2025 regarding the proposed partially underwritten rights issue, to raise gross proceeds of up to NOK 200 million (the "Rights Issue"). The Rights Issue includes tradable subscription rights for existing shareholders in the Company and issuance of warrants to the investors allocated shares in the Rights Issue (the "Warrants"). Completion of the Rights Issue is subject to approval by the extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held at 19:00 (CEST) on 30 April 2025 (the "EGM"), as further set out in the notice of the EGM published on 10 April 2025 (the "EGM Notice").
The board of directors of the Company has today, in consultation with Pareto Securities AS and SpareBank 1 Markets AS (acting as "Managers" in the Rights Issue), determined the proposed subscription price for the new shares to be offered in the Rights Issue (the "Offer Shares"), and thus also determined the maximum number of Offer Shares to be issued and the corresponding maximum amount of the share capital increase. The proposed subscription price per Offer Share is set to NOK 0.3334, which equals the theoretical ex rights price for the Company’s shares ("TERP") based on the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's shares on Euronext Growth Oslo over the last three trading days (including the trading day which ended at 16:30 CEST today, 30 April 2025), less a discount of 35% and rounded down to 4 decimal places.
