Ensurge Micropower ASA – Cancellation of Subsequent Offering
Ensurge Micropower ASA has announced the cancellation of its previously planned Subsequent Offering.
The decision comes after the company's shares traded below the subscription price set during a recent NOK 85 million Private Placement. The company's board deemed that shareholders desiring to mitigate dilution had the opportunity to purchase shares at lower market prices.
The resolution for the Subsequent Offering will not be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 1 July 2024, which will proceed with other agenda items.
Ensurge Micropower specializes in producing ultrathin, flexible, and safe solid-state lithium microbatteries for wearable devices and IoT sensors.
- The company successfully raised NOK 85 million through a Private Placement.
- Shareholders have been able to buy shares at a lower price in the open market, reducing potential dilution.
- Cancellation of the Subsequent Offering could indicate a lack of confidence in the current share price.
- The company's share price trading below the subscription price for a substantial period may signal underlying stock performance issues.
Oslo, 27 June 2024
Reference is made to the stock exchange notice published by Ensurge Micropower ASA (the "Company") on 13 May 2024 regarding the completion of a private placement raising gross proceeds of approximately NOK 85 million (the "Private Placement") and a potential subsequent offering on the same terms and conditions as in the Private Placement directed towards eligible shareholders (the "Subsequent Offering").
The board of directors of the Company has decided not to proceed with the Subsequent Offering.
The background for the cancellation is that the Company's shares have traded below the subscription price in the Private Placement for a substantial period and at sufficient volumes. Shareholders wishing to reduce the dilutive effect of the Private Placement have therefore had the opportunity to purchase shares in the market at prices below the price which would have been the subscription price in the Subsequent Offering.
Further to this, the Board withdraws the proposed resolution for a subsequent offering at the Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for 1 July 2024 at 09.00 am CET and the notice of such general meeting is amended accordingly. The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held as scheduled to consider the other agenda items.
