The Board of Directors of EPTI (INVAJO.ST) has decided to carry out a directed new issue of 6,971,357 million shares, at a subscription price of SEK 7.89 per share, which results in an issue payment of SEK 55 004 006 before transaction costs. The subscription price corresponds to a discount of approximately 0.25 percent against the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on December 14, 2021. The decision was made with the support of the authorization from the Annual General Meeting on June 11, 2021.

“It is a sign of the strength and potential of EPTI that, during a time of unique broader market conditions, we can make an issue. Through this issue, we ensure increased ownership diversification and liquidity, as well as a stronger capital base for EPTI into 2022 and beyond, ” says Arli Mujkic, CEO of EPTI.

The subscription price has been determined on the basis of arm’s length negotiations and also corresponds to the subscription price in the non-cash issue that constitutes the purchase price for the shares in EPTI. It is therefore the Board’s assessment that the subscription price correctly reflects current market conditions and demand. The investors in the New Issue consisted of a number of Swedish and international institutional investors, including a number of existing shareholders.

The net proceeds from the New Issue are intended to finance and enable the group to conduct the activities described in the company presentation that has been submitted to Nasdaq, which includes the acquisition of small to medium-sized studios, more internal ventures, and keep existing positions longer in the portfolio to maintain greater ownership.
