Stockholm, December 16, 2021
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - The Board of Directors of BTS GROUP AB (publ) has today, based on the authorization from the Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2021, decided to carry out a directed new issue of 36,019 Class B shares.
The newly issued shares will be used as part payment for the two previous acquisitions of MTAC and Netmind. Of those shares, 22,547 shares are allocated to the sellers of MTAC and 13,472 shares are allocated to the seller of Netmind. For more information on these two acquisitions, please see the press releases from November 6, 2017 and September 16, 2021, respectively.
The new share issue relates to settlements of purchase price of SEK 7,508,151 (MTAC) and SEK 5,105,888 (Netmind) according to the acquisition agreements, which were also mentioned when the acquisitions were announced. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to secure part-financing of the two acquisitions in a time and cost-effective manner.
The share prices have been determined through a calculated volume-weighted average price per trading day for the company's B-share on Nasdaq Stockholm, during a period in accordance with the acquisition agreements, corresponding to SEK 333 per share for MTAC and SEK 379 per share for Netmind.
The total number of shares issued before the issue was 19,338,328. After the issue, there are a total of 19,374,347 shares. At the same time, BTS's share capital increases from SEK 6,446,109 to SEK 6,458,116.
