Ensurge Micropower ASA: Private placement successfully placed
Ensurge Micropower ASA announced the successful completion of a private placement, raising approximately NOK 50 million at NOK 0.10 per share. The funds will support the company's operations and development. This placement is contingent upon approval from an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) set for around 9 March 2023, where a share capital reduction will be discussed to align the par value with the subscription price. The Offer Shares will be tradable on Oslo Børs post-approval of a listing prospectus by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (FSA). The company has secured interim financing to bridge to the EGM.
- Successfully raised NOK 50 million through private placement.
- Funding will support ongoing operations and development activities.
- Private placement is dependent on EGM approval, creating uncertainty.
- Offer Shares will not be tradable until prospectus approval from FSA, delaying access to funds.

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published on 9 February 2023 by Ensurge Micropower ASA ("Ensurge" or the "Company") regarding a contemplated private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"). Ensurge is pleased to announce that the Private Placement has been successfully placed, through an allocation of Offer Shares at a subscription price of NOK 0.10 per Offer Share, being the attained book building price, for total gross proceeds of approximately NOK 50 million. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund the Company's operations and development work going forward. The Private Placement is subject to approval from an Extraordinary General Meeting in the Company, to be called and held on or around 9 March 2023 (the “EGM”).
As the current par value of the Company’s share exceeds the proposed subscription price in the Private Placement, the Private Placement is also conditional upon the EGM approving a share capital reduction by reduction of the par value per share so that such par value, prior to the resolution by the EGM on the Private Placement, has been resolved to be equal to or lower than the subscription price in the Private Placement.
Moreover, the Offer Shares will not be tradable on Oslo Børs until a listing prospectus (the "Prospectus") has been approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (the "FSA") and will be issued on a separate ISIN until the Prospectus has been approved and published.
Further, the Company has secured interim financing to bridge the Company to the upcoming EGM.
