NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH AFRICA OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
Oslo, 7 March 2025: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Huddly AS ("Huddly" or the "Company", ticker: HDLY) earlier today, 7 March 2025, regarding the last day of the subscription period in the subsequent repair offering (the "Subsequent Repair Offering") of up to 2,500,000 new shares in the Company ("Offer Shares"), each at a subscription price of NOK 10 per share, raising gross proceeds of up to NOK 25,000,000.
The subscription period for the Subsequent Repair Offering expired today, 7 March 2025, at 16:30 CET. By the end of the subscription period, the Company had received valid subscriptions for 6,515,108 Offer Shares in the Subsequent Repair Offering from 270 subscribers. 5,819,633 of these Offer Shares were either subscribed by subscribers with subscription rights or oversubscribed by subscribers with subscription rights. Thus, the Subsequent Repair Offering was oversubscribed without the subscriptions from subscribers without subscription rights. Consequently, none of the subscribers subscribing without subscription rights were allocated Offer Shares.
The board of directors of the Company has today, on 7 March 2025, resolved to allocate and issue a total of 2,500,000 Offer Shares in accordance with the allocation principles set out in the national prospectus dated 17 February 2025 (the "Prospectus") pursuant to the authorization granted by the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 19 December 2024.
The Company will consequently raise NOK 25,000,000 in gross proceeds through the Subsequent Repair Offering.
Notifications of allocated Offer Shares in the Subsequent Repair Offering and the corresponding subscription amount to be paid by each subscriber are expected to be distributed on 10 March 2025.
The subscription amount for allocated Offer Shares is due for payment by the subscribers on 12 March 2025, in accordance with the payment procedures set out in the Prospectus.
Subject to due payment of the Offer Shares by the subscribers, the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Repair Offering is expected to be registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises ("NRBE") on or about 18 March 2025. The Offer Shares will be registered in the Norwegian central securities depository, Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS") in book-entry form and are expected to be delivered to the subscribers’ VPS account on or about 19 March 2025 subject to timely registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Repair Offering with the NRBE. First day of trading of the Offer Shares on Euronext Growth Oslo is expected to be on or about 19 March 2025.
The share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Repair Offering is in the amount of NOK 156,250. Following the registration of the share capital increase with the NRBE, expected on or about 18 March 2025, the Company's share capital will be NOK 1,303,955.0625, divided into 20,863,281 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.0625. The Company will publish a separate stock exchange announcement once the share capital increase has been registered.
