NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA, SWITZERLAND, CANADA, HONG KONG OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Hoylu AB (“Hoylu” or the “Company”) hereby announces the outcome of the rights issue which was resolved on the extraordinary general meeting held on 22 March 2023 (the “Rights Issue”). The Rights Issue has been subscribed to a total of 108 per cent, implying that no underwriting commitments will be claimed. The board of directors have, based on the authorisation from the extraordinary general meeting held on March 22, 2023, resolved to issue 66,757,456 shares to accommodate the demand in the Rights Issue by utilising the directed over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment option”). Thus, the Company receives approximately SEK 89.2 million in total from the Rights Issue and the Over-allotment issue, before issue related costs, of which approximately SEK 72.9 million was subscribed for by set-off against claims relating to convertible notes.

  • 150,582,852 shares were subscribed for with preferential rights, equivalent to 18.23 per cent of the Rights Issue.
  • 61,056 shares were subscribed for without preferential rights, equivalent to 0.007 per cent of the Rights Issue.
  • 66,238,702 shares were subscribed for by set-off against convertible loan notes, equivalent to 80.22 per cent of the Rights Issue

Outcome in the Rights Issue

The subscription period in the Rights Issue ended on 5 May 2023. The final outcome shows that a total of 825,695,298 shares have been subscribed for through the Rights Issue and the Company will thus receive approximately SEK 82,569,529 million before issue-related costs of approximately SEK 850,000. The Rights Issue has been subscribed to a total of 108 per cent, where approximately 18.23 per cent was subscribed through the exercise of subscription rights and approximately 0.007 per cent was subscribed for without the exercise of subscription rights. A total of 662,387,024 shares has been paid by way of set-off by subscribers with a claim on the Company relating to convertible notes in the Company, as described in the press release published by the Company on February 13, 2023.

Overallotment option
The board of directors have, based on the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting held on March 22, 2023, decided to issue 66,757,456 shares to accommodate the demand in the Rights Issue by utilising the Over-allotment option. The purpose of the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is to accommodate the demand in the Rights Issue. The allocation principles in the Over-allotment option follows the allocation principles in the Rights Issue, meaning that 66,757,456 shares will be issued and allocated as shares subscribed for without preferential right.

The subscription price for the shares in the Over-allotment option is SEK 0.10 per share and corresponds to the subscription price in the Rights issue. The shares in the Over-allotment option will be paid through cash and set-off against claims relating to convertible notes. Thus, the Company receives approximately SEK 89.2 million in total from the Rights issue and the Over-allotment option before issue costs, of which approximately a total of SEK 72.9 million was paid by set-off against convertible loan notes.

Allotment of shares subscribed for without the use of subscription rights

Allotment of shares subscribed for without the use of subscription rights has been resolved in accordance with the principles that are stated in the prospectus that the Company published on 19 April 2023 due to the Rights Issue. Notification of such allocation is announced separately through the distribution of settlement notes. Nominee-registered shareholders will receive notification of allotment in accordance with instructions from the respective nominee.

Shares, share capital and dilution

Through the Rights Issue, the number of shares in the Company increases by 825,695,298 shares, from 91,743,922 to 917,439,220 shares. After registration of the resolved reduction in share capital for the purpose of lowering the quota value of the Company’s shares to SEK 0.01, the share capital will increase by SEK 8,256,952.98, from SEK 917,439.22 to SEK 9,174,392.20. The dilution effect for existing shareholders who did not choose to participate in the Rights Issue amounts to 90.00 per cent. After the registration of the Over-Allotment option, the number of shares in the Company will increase by an additional 66,757,456 from 917,439,220 shares to 984,196,676 shares. The share capital will increase by SEK 667,574.56 from SEK 9,174,392.20 to SEK 9,841,966.76.
