The Rights Issue in brief:
- The Issue is carried out as a rights issue, where a minimum of 10.032.013 shares and a maximum of 18.221.926 shares are offered.
- The New Shares are offered with pre-emptive rights for Existing Shareholders. Each Existing Shareholder will receive 1 (one) subscription rights for each 1 (one) existing share held on the record date on 6 November 2023. For each 1 (one) subscription right, 1 (one) New Share can be subscribed.
- The subscription price per New Share is 0.76 DKK, calculated as 10-days volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) from Monday 16 October 2023 to Friday 27 October 2023, less 60% discount (“Subscription Price”).
- The subscription period of the Rights Issue will commence on 7 November 2023 at 9:00 a.m. CET (Central European Time = local Danish time) and will close on 20 November 2023 at 5:00 p.m. CET (the “Subscription Period”)
- Under the assumption of full subscription in the Rights Issue, a total of 18,221,926 New Shares will be issued corresponding to gross proceeds of maximum 13.8 mDKK and net proceeds of 11.6 mDKK after deduction of transaction-related costs of approximately 2.2 mDKK, of which 0.8 mDKK is guarantors commissions and 1.4 mDKK is other transaction related costs.
- The minimum gross proceeds are 7.6 mDKK (corresponding to 55.1% of the Issue), which is the sum of pre-subscription commitments of 0.9 mDKK (corresponding to 6.7% of the Issue) and guarantee commitments of 6.7 mDKK (48.3%).
- Odico’s share capital before the Issue amounts to nominally 911,096.30 DKK (corresponding to 18.221.926 shares of nominally 0.05 DKK per share).

2: Background and rationale
The business
In the past decade, Odico has pioneered multiple technologies and products aimed at digitizing and automating the construction industry. This journey of exploration and refinement has transitioned into a promising phase of commercial scale-up, driven by a new management and a strategic partnership model.
Odico has pinpointed six primary business sectors: three existing — Formwork, Panel Cleaning, and Wind Solutions — and three emerging business areas — Special Formwork, SmartStairs, and Carpen. The Company have already marked their presence in the industry, collaborating with key players like Aarsleff, Vinci, Arkil, Doka, PERI, Ringer, and more. These affiliations are poised to grow as the Company’s emerging business areas gear up for commercial activation. Since the close of last fiscal year, Odico has managed to secure orders from key players such as Adserballe & Knudsen, Arkil, Kaj Bech, EMR and the Femern Belt Project. Furthermore, a significant million-order from the wind turbine sector and +4 mDKK order from a Danish company in the construction industry.
The immediate goal is to achieve break-even in the first half of 2025. Proceeds from a fully subscribed Rights Issue will provide the financial stability needed to realize this ambition.
The use of funds
There are four primary areas Odico will focus on to reach break-even within the ongoing financial year.
- Investing in additional robots/production cells
The existing pipeline of Odico displays a high chance that the Company will be low in capacity to execute and deliver orders from customers. To maintain the increased level of activity and demand, Odico will allocate funds towards investment in additional robots/production cells.
2. Expanding commercial capacity
As the customer base increases and becomes more geographically dispersed, additional commercial resources are added
3. Supporting working capital
As Odico continues its phase of scaling up, it finds itself collaborating with some of the most significant players in the industry. Such an expansion phase often brings with it particular working capital requirements, However, with the funds of this Issue, The Company is not just looking to address these temporary financial hurdles. Instead, it aims to substantially fortify its working capital, ensuring it stands on a resilient financial foundation.
4. Repaying short-term debt
Odico obtained short-term bridge financing of 3,0 mDKK until the announced Rights Issue and will use a part of the funds to repay this debt.
Risk factors
Investing in Odico's shares carries a financial risk. Potential investors should carefully consider various risks, including general and company-specific factors, which could negatively impact Odico's business, reputation, revenue, operations, financial position, and stock price. There may even be risks not currently known or deemed insignificant by the management that could emerge in the future.
Management is responsible for risk management, including mapping, assessment of probabilities, potential impacts as well as mitigating measures. Executive Management reports to the Board of Directors on all important matters, including risk management and findings. Although no guarantees can be given that other risks will not emerge and have negative adverse effects on the business, Management believes that the key risks can be summarized as follows:
Operational Risk: Odico's new management has introduced the Company’s partnership strategy. This approach lays the foundation for Odico's current operations and future aspirations. However, this business model comes with associated risks, especially regarding the goal to break even within the next fiscal year. By adopting a partnership-centric strategy, the Company collaborates with the market's leading players, but this could challenge its negotiation strength related to credit and delivery. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning working capital and managing customer payments.
Lead Time and Counterparty Risk: Odico’s business model is dependent on counterparties and their ability to deliver key input materials on time. If relevant counterparties fail to deliver relevant input materials Odico requires, the Company faces the risk of having to delay projects. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning the lead time for materials as well as counterparty risk.
Risk Of New Strategy: The Company has decided to transform the business and use the partnership strategy as the foundation for the business and future growth. This means that Odico is changing how revenue is generated compared to before the new strategy was implemented. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning solid development regarding the new strategy.
Project Based Risk: Odico’s business model is primarily built on non-recurring projects. This structure imposes a risk regarding the future outlook for the Company and its financial performance, as the business model is dependent on projects running either simultaneously or in close connection with each other. As a result, the Company faces risks concerning future orderbook, timing of projects, and, as a result, risks concerning working capital.
Funding And financial risk: At the time of this announcement, The Company is in a position where the current working capital is sufficient to finance Odico’s activities for the next twelve months, taking underwriting commitments into account. At full subscription the Company will be able to execute on all planned activities, whereas a minimum subscription will allow the company to continue more limited activities. As a result, The Company faces financial risk should the Rights Issue not be fully subscribed.
