Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Zwipe AS
("Zwipe" or the "Company") on 23 December 2024, regarding the final allocation
of the rights issue of units, consisting of shares and warrants (the "Units"),
with preferential rights for existing shareholders raising gross proceeds of
approximately NOK 40 million (the "Rights Issue"). In said announcement, it was
stated that the Company received subscriptions for a total of 85,757,930 Units,
corresponding to approx. 21.6% of the Units offered, during the subscription
period for the Rights Issue.
Approximately NOK 8.6 million of the Rights Issue was guaranteed through
subscription commitments and so-called bottom guarantee commitments (the "Bottom
Guarantee Commitments"). Furthermore, the Company had received a so-called top
guarantee commitment of an amount corresponding to approximately NOK 5,514,472
million (the "Top Guarantee Commitment").
The Top Guarantee Commitment will be fulfilled through the partial set-off of
NOK 5,514,472 of the Company's outstanding convertible loan of NOK 10,514,472
(the "2023 Convertible Loan"). In addition, the accrued interest under the 2023
Convertible Loan, coupled with NOK 1,000,000 from the 2023 Convertible Loan, has
been set-off against Fenja Capital II A/S (the "Top Guarantor") commitment under
the Bottom Guarantee Commitments.
The remaining balance of the 2023 Convertible Loan, in addition to an
arrangement fee of NOK 200,000, in total NOK 4,200,000, will be extended in the
form of a new convertible loan (the "New Convertible Loan"). Accordingly, the
Board of Directors of the Company has today, 23 December 2024, resolved, based
on the authorization from the Extraordinary General Meeting on 3 December 2024,
on the issuance of the New Convertible Loan to the Top Guarantor. Further, the
Top Guarantor has subscribed for and been allotted the New Convertible Loan.
The New Convertible Loan is due on 30 November 2025 (the "Maturity Date"). The
New Convertible Loan shall accrue at an annual interest rate of STIBOR 3M, where
STIBOR is set at minimum 3.00% over the duration, (the "Interest Rate
Benchmark") plus an interest margin of 10.00%, (the "Interest Margin") from the
day the Top Guarantor pays for the New Convertible Loan until the New
Convertible Loan is repaid to the Top Guarantor's account or converted (the
"Interest").
The Interest shall become due at the end of each calendar quarter and shall be
paid out by the Company quarterly on the last day of the quarter or if this date
is not a banking day, on the banking day immediately after such date.
The Top Guarantor shall have the right, but no obligation, to convert the
Convertible Loan into shares in the Company on the terms set out below. Each
request for Conversion by the Top Guarantor must always be for an aggregate
nominal amount of at least NOK 1,000,000.
The subscription price per share upon conversion of the New Convertible Loan
shall be NOK 0.12 per share. However, this subscription price may be subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances, such as if the Company undertakes a bonus
issue
