Harju Elekter Enhances Share Capital Through New Shares Issuance

Harju Elekter Boosts Share Capital
The Supervisory Board of Harju Elekter Group has taken a significant step to boost the company's financial foundation by increasing its share capital by 17,010 euros. This decision is primarily driven by the company’s initiative to issue new ordinary shares as part of its established employee option program, which was previously approved at a general meeting.
Details of the Share Issuance
A group of four current and former employees of Harju Elekter have actively participated in this share issue. Collectively, they subscribed for 27,000 shares, totaling 121,500 euros. Notably, there remains a balance of 57,500 shares that remain unsold under this initiative.
Supervisory Board Decisions
The Supervisory Board made several crucial decisions regarding the issuance:
- Harju Elekter's share capital will see an increase from 11,654,225.10 euros to 11,671,235.10 euros.
- The company will issue 27,000 new ordinary shares (ISIN: EE3100004250), each priced at 4.50 euros, reflecting a book value of 0.63 euros and a premium of 3.87 euros.
- The capital increase will be entirely funded through monetary contributions, with a payment deadline set for July 4, 2025. After the capital increase, Harju Elekter will have a total of 18,525,770 ordinary shares without nominal value.
- The pre-emptive right to subscribe to these new shares is exclusive to management board members and key personnel of Harju Elekter and its subsidiaries who have entered into option agreements.
- Other shareholders who aren't included in the share option program do not possess any rights to subscribe to the new shares being issued.
- The deadline for exercising subscription rights was set for June 25, 2025. Option holders submitted their application notes in a timely manner; however, 10 holders did not apply while one stated partial interest. The total unanswered options of 57,500 will be invalidated.
- This capital increase will not introduce any special rights concerning the ordinary shares. The new shares will confer the right to dividends starting from the financial year commencing January 1, 2025.
