Coala-Life Group AB (publ) ("Coala Life" or the "Company") has today entered into additional guarantee agreements with existing guarantors in the rights issue of units, proposed by the Company's Board of Directors on December 23, 2022 and resolved at an Extraordinary General Meeting on January 26, 2023 (the "Rights Issue"). The Rights Issue is thus covered by subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments from existing shareholders and new investors of approximately SEK 84.1 million, corresponding to approximately 83 percent of the Rights Issue. In conjunction with this, the Company updates estimated transaction costs.
Coala Life carries out a rights issue of units consisting of one (1) share and one (1) free warrant of series TO 1. The subscription period commenced on 7 February 2023 and continues until 21 February 2023. Upon full subscription, the Company will initially receive approximately SEK 101 million before deduction of transaction costs. The Company has previously announced that subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments from existing shareholders and new investors amounts to approximately SEK 77.6 million, corresponding to approximately 76.5 percent of the Rights Issue. As the Company has now entered into agreements for an additional so-called top guarantee of a total of SEK 6.65 million with existing guarantors in the Rights Issue, the subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments amount to approximately SEK 84.1 million, corresponding to approximately 83 percent of the Rights Issue.
Compensation to the guarantors of the added top guarantee is paid in the amount of 10 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash compensation, or 12 percent of the guaranteed amount in newly issued shares, thus guarantee compensation for the initial proceeds can increase by a maximum of approximately SEK 0.7 million.
Assuming full subscription in the Rights Issue and full exercise of the warrants, the Company may receive an additional approximately SEK 16.6-46.4 million (depending on the final subscription price for the new shares that may be subscribed for through the exercise of the warrants) before deduction of transaction costs, which may amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 2.6 million excluding costs for practical handling (i.e. in addition to previously estimated transaction costs and depending on the extent to which warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares).
In order to enable full set-off of the convertible loan raised by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2022 and to enable further allotment in the event of oversubscription, in the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue may be increased by a maximum of 19,870,410 additional units, each consisting of one (1) new share and one (1) warrant, (the "Overallotment Option"). Upon full exercise of the Overallotment Option and full exercise of associated warrants, the Company may receive an additional total of approximately SEK 11.8-14.8 million depending on the final subscription price for the new shares that may be subscribed for through the exercise of the warrants) before issue costs, which may amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 1.0 million excluding costs for practical handling (i.e. in addition to previously estimated transaction costs and depending on the extent to which warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares).
