Stockholm, 14 November 2024 – On 16 September 2024, the Board of Directors of the mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) resolved on a rights issue of units of approximately SEK 35.5 million (the “Rights issue”), that was approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 16 October 2024. The preliminary outcome indicates that the Rights issue is subscribed to approximately 41.7 per cent with and without unit rights. The outcome implies that underwriting commitments of indicatively approximately 18.3 per cent of the Rights issue are expected to be claimed, after which the Rights issue is subscribed to approximately 60.0 per cent. Eurobattery Minerals will thereby receive total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 21.3 million before issue costs.
Preliminary outcome
The preliminary compilation of subscriptions shows that 20,555,937 units, corresponding to approximately 40.5 per cent of the Rights issue, were subscribed for with unit rights. 614,461 units, corresponding to approximately 1.2 per cent of the Rights issue, were subscribed for without unit rights. Furthermore, 9,276,013 units, corresponding to approximately 18.3 per cent of the Rights issue, will be subscribed for by underwriters who have entered into underwriting commitments. The preliminary outcome thereby indicates that the Rights issue is subscribed to approximately 60.0 per cent. The Company will, due to the above, receive total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 21.3 million before issue costs.
