The board of oodash Group AB (publ) ("oodash" or the "Company") has today, on December 27, 2024, with the support of the authorization from the continued annual general meeting on July 31, 2024, decided on a directed issue to a international investor, Stephan Meyer (“The Investor”), founder of docstr.de. The board has decided to carry out a new issue of a total of circa 11,5 million SEK to a pre-money valuation of approx 550 million SEK. The price has been set at 162 SEK per share, which corresponds to a premium of approximately 308 percent compared to the closing price on December 23, 2024. The company will issue a maximum of 71 064 shares, which corresponds to a dilution of circa 2,1 percent. The details of the new issues are explained below.
About the new issue and the basics of the subscription rate
The board of the Company has, with the support of the authorization from the continuing annual general meeting in 2024, decided on a directed share issue to Stephan Meyer, who, among other things, founded the company docstr.de, of a maximum 71 064 shares, meaning an increase in the share capital of a maximum 710 640 SEK. The subscription price has been determined after negotiations at arm's length with the Investor and amounts to 162 SEK per share.
The liquidity is intended to be used for personnel recruitment, marketing and in preparation for the launch of the Company's Utility Token in 2025.
The subscription price corresponds to a premium of approximately 308 percent compared to the closing price of the Company's share on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market on December 23, 2024. In light of this, the board considers that the market value of the subscription price has been ensured.
The reasons for deviation from the shareholders' preferential right
The reasons for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights are based on the Company's Board of Directors conducting a comprehensive assessment and carefully considering the option of raising capital through a rights issue. The Board has concluded that a rights issue, compared to a directed issue, could not have been executed at the premium achieved in the current issuance. Moreover, it would have taken significantly longer to complete, thereby increasing the exposure to general market risk. The Board of Directors therefore considers the issuance to be advantageous for the Company and its shareholders.
Dilution effect and changes to the share capital and the number of shares
Through the board's decision on the new issue, the total number of shares in the Company will increase by a maximum 71 064, from 3,385,254 to 3 456 318 shares. The share capital increases by a total of 710 640 SEK, from 33 852 540 kroner more 34 563 180 SEK. The dilution for existing shareholders is estimated to amount to approx 2,1 percent.
