Tobii announces outcome of its oversubscribed rights issue
The final outcome in Tobii AB (publ)'s ("Tobii" or the "Company") rights issue of ordinary shares (the "Rights Issue"), where the subscription period ended on April 2, 2024, shows that subscriptions by exercise of subscription rights and subscription applications for subscription without subscription rights together correspond to approximately 139 percent of the offered shares in the Rights Issue. Thus, the Rights Issue is fully subscribed and no guarantee commitments have been utilized. As a result of the Rights Issue, Tobii will receive total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 301 million before deduction of transaction costs.
The Rights Issue comprised 127,418,718 ordinary shares, of which 122,184,786 ordinary shares, corresponding to approximately 96 percent of the offered shares, have been subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights. Additionally, applications for subscription of 55,101,596 ordinary shares without subscription rights have been submitted, corresponding to approximately 43 percent of the offered shares. A total of 5,233,932 ordinary shares, corresponding to 4 percent, have been allotted to individuals who have applied to subscribe for shares without support of subscription rights. Together, subscriptions for shares with support of subscription rights and subscription for shares without support of subscription rights correspond to approximately 139 percent of the offered shares in the Rights Issue. Thus, the Rights Issue is fully subscribed and no guarantee commitments have been utilized.
Tobii will receive proceeds through the Rights issue of approximately SEK 301 million before deduction of transaction costs. As a result of the Rights Issue, Tobii's share capital will increase by approximately SEK 924,670 to approximately SEK 1,711,028 and the number of ordinary shares and votes will increase by 127,418,718 to 233,600,984[1].
Those who have subscribed for shares without the support of subscription rights will be allotted shares in accordance with the principles set out in the prospectus published on March 14, 2024. Notice of allotment to the persons who have subscribed for shares without support of subscription rights is expected to be distributed on April 4, 2024. Allotted shares must be paid for in cash by April 8, 2024 in accordance with the instructions on the settlement note sent to the subscriber. Investors who have subscribed through a nominee will be notified of the allotment in accordance with their respective nominee's procedures. Only those who have been allotted shares will be notified.
The last day of trading in paid subscribed shares (BTAs) will be April 9, 2024. As soon as the increase in share capital has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, paid subscribed shares (BTAs) will be converted into new shares. The new shares are expected to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm around April 15, 2024.
The resolution on the Rights Issue resolved on March 6, 2024, was based on Tobii holding a certain number of own ordinary shares. However, as of the record date, Tobii did not own any own ordinary shares and as a result the number of subscription rights distributed was increased accordingly. Therefore, the board of directors' resolution on the Rights Issue has been adjusted by (i) increasing the number of ordinary shares to be issued from not more than 127,046,040 to not more than 127,418,718 ordinary shares and (ii) increasing the share capital from not more than approximately SEK 921,967 to not more than approximately SEK 924,670. The increase of the Rights Issue is approximately 0.3 percent and results in total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 301 million before deduction of transaction costs.
