Green Hydrogen Systems Secures DKK 80 Million in Loan Agreement
Green Hydrogen Systems Announces Share Capital Reduction and Loan
Green Hydrogen Systems A/S recently revealed the successful completion of a reduction in its nominal share capital along with a significant short-term loan agreement. This strategic move aims to enhance the Company’s financial stability and support its ongoing projects in hydrogen technology.
Details of the Share Capital Reduction
The reduction in share capital was not merely a procedural step, but a crucial part of the Company's preparations for raising new capital. Since the announcement, the nominal share capital has been adjusted to DKK 1,877,339.02, with each share’s nominal value now set at DKK 0.01. This adjustment directly reflects the Company's commitment to strengthening its capital base in response to existing financial covenants.
Insights into Funding Discussions
Green Hydrogen Systems has been diligently engaged in discussions with its major shareholders and lenders to address its funding needs. These discussions have proven constructive, although they require additional time for optimal completion. The ongoing dialogue illustrates the trust and interest of stakeholders in the Company's vision and potential.
New Loan Agreement to Boost Operations
To adequately support its operations through to the end of March 2025, Green Hydrogen Systems has secured a short-term subordinated fixed loan of DKK 80 million. This facility, provided by significant shareholders A.P. Moller Holding and ATP, will expire on June 30, 2025. It allows the Company crucial breathing room to pursue commercial agreements, particularly for its state-of-the-art HyProvide X-series, while also gaining waiver relief from existing lenders regarding certain loan covenants.
Focus on Commercial Prospects
Despite currently uncertain order commitments, Green Hydrogen Systems remains optimistic about its potential within the hydrogen sector. CEO René Umlauft, appointed recently, has actively engaged with key customers and is in discussions that could lead to contracts for the HyProvide X-Series in the near future. These dialogues underscore the Company's commitment to establishing itself firmly within the green hydrogen ecosystem.
Plans for a Rights Issue
Looking forward, Green Hydrogen Systems is preparing for a rights issue aimed at raising at least DKK 300 million, which will offer existing shareholders pre-emptive subscription rights. This initiative is anticipated to take place between March and April 2025, contingent on achieving commercial traction with the X-Series products. The interest from A.P. Moller Holding and ATP to participate in this rights offering highlights their confidence in the Company's strategic direction.
Operational Cost Management
The Company is also making strides in its operational cost management program as part of its broader strategy to sustain growth and profitability. Through this initiative, Green Hydrogen Systems is focused on reducing operational costs while enhancing efficiency. The upcoming annual report will detail the progress made in this area as well as expected and realized cost savings.
