ABG Sundal Collier acted as manager for Sikri in connection with the Company’s NOK 200 million directed share issue
On Friday, 2 September 2022, Sikri Holding ASA (“Sikri” or the “Company”) announced the completion of a private placement of 20,000,000 new shares at a subscription price of NOK 10 per new share, directed at the largest shareholders of the Company, Karbon Invest AS, Carucel Finance AS, Stella Industrier AS and Varner Kapital AS, raising NOK 200 million in gross proceeds. The Board of Directors further resolved to effectuate a subsequent offering of up to NOK 114 million to shareholders not allocated shares in the private placement.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement and the subsequent offering to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing the Company’s leverage, partly replacing the debt financing component of the Company’s strategic acquisition of Metria AB, a transaction where ABG Sundal Collier acted as financial advisor to Sikri.
