Preferential rights issue
NIBE’s Board of Directors decided on 30 August 2016, subject to approval at the extraordinary general meeting on 3 October 2016, to conduct a preferential rights issue of Class A and Class B shares. Those who are registered as shareholders on the record date of 5 October 2016 have preferential rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class in proportion to their existing shareholdings. Class A shares may only be subscribed for through the exercise of subscription rights. Class B shares can be subscribed for without subscription rights. If all Class B shares are not subscribed for with subscription rights, the Board shall, within the framework of the preferential rights issue’s maximum amount, make a decision as to the allocation of Class B shares subscribed for without subscription rights, whereby such shares shall primarily be allocated to those who subscribed for shares with subscription rights and who have indicated that they wish to subscribe for additional shares, whether or not they were shareholders on the record date. In the case of over-subscription, allotment shall be made in proportion to the number of shares that such persons have subscribed for in the preferential rights issue with subscription rights. Secondarily, Class B shares shall be allotted to others who have registered for subscription of Class B shares without subscription rights and, in the case of over-subscription, allotment shall be made in proportion to the number of Class B shares that each one has registered for subscription. To the extent that shares cannot be allotted as stated above, they will be allotted by drawing lots.
Full terms and conditions of the preferential rights issue, including the increase in share capital, number of shares issued and issue price, is expected to be published on 27 September 2016.
The subscription period is expected to be from 10 October 2016 through 25 October 2016, or such later date as decided by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors’ decision regarding the preferential rights issue is subject to approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting and subject to the Meeting’s approval of the Board’s proposal to amend the Articles of Association.
