General

The Board of Directors of Technopolis has today decided on an approximately EUR 125 million Offering in accordance with the shareholder's pre-emptive subscription right based on authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting on August 31, 2016.

Shares will trade ex-rights as from September 1, 2016. The subscription period commences on September 7, 2016 and ends on September 21, 2016. The subscription price is EUR 2.40 per each Share. Each shareholder of the Company will receive one (1) Subscription Right for every one (1) share they hold on the Record Date, September 2, 2016. Every two (2) Subscription Rights will entitle their holder to subscribe for one (1) Share (the ” Primary Subscription Right ” ). Fractions of Shares cannot be subscribed for. The Subscription Rights are subject to public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (the ”Helsinki Stock Exchange”) between September 7, 2016 and September 15, 2016. The Subscription Rights are freely transferable.

In addition, Shares can be subscribed without Subscription Rights. The Shares that are left unsubscribed with Subscription Rights, are primarily allocated to investors who have subscribed for Shares by virtue of the Primary Subscription Rights, irrespective of whether they were shareholders on the Record Date, and secondarily allocated to those who have solely subscribed Shares without Subscription Rights, and thirdly, as decided by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Technopolis will offer for subscription a maximum of 52,282,030 Shares in the Offering. The Shares to be issued in the Offering represent a maximum of approximately 49.1 percent of the total number shares and voting rights in the Company prior to the Offering and a maximum of approximately 32.9 percent of the total number shares and voting rights in the Company after the Offering.

The aggregate net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deduction of the fees and expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately EUR 124.3 million provided that the Offering is subscribed for in full. The subscription price of the Shares will be recorded in its entirety in the Company’s invested unrestricted equity fund. The proceeds from the Offering will be used to improve the solvency of the Company following the acquisition of the Gårda multi-user campus and the minority share of the Oslo campus and to finance future organic growth projects and potential acquisitions.

The two largest shareholders of the Company, Varma and Ilmarinen, jointly owning approximately 34.3 percent of the shares and voting rights in the Company, have irrevocably undertaken to subscribe for Shares to be issued in the Offering in proportion to their current holdings in the Company, provided that Varma’s holding of the Company’s shares after the Offering remains below 30 percent.

The Shares subscribed for in the Offering are registered to the Finnish Trade Register on or about September 29, 2016. The Shares entitle their holders to full shareholder rights in the Company as of the registration of the Shares with the Finnish Trade Register.

The Company will announce the final result of the Offering on or about September 28, 2016. The detailed terms and conditions of the Offering are attached to this stock exchange release.

In relation to the Offering, Technopolis has submitted a Finnish language offering circular for the approval of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, and such offering circular is expected to be published on or about September 5, 2016.
