Urb-it makes further write-downs of assets and produces a Balance sheet for liquidation purposes (Kontrollbalansräkning)
Urb-it AB (publ) announces today that despite significant interest in the company's services from the e-commerce- and logistics sector the interest to fund its operations on the market with further capital currently is low.
As announced on November 17, 2023, the company has for quite some time with the assistance of financial advisors been actively pursuing various financing alternatives with the goal of funding the company's operations and path towards profitability. Unfortunately, despite having pursued various tracks, the board has now in dialogue with the company's financial advisors and after contacts with its main shareholders had to draw the conclusion that the efforts have not yielded the desired results.
As a consequence of the above the board of directors has in dialogue with the company's auditors today resolved to make further write-downs of the book values of certain assets on its balance sheet, including mainly shares in subsidiaries, group company receivables, and intangible assets, by in total SEK 241,112,319.57. Due to the write-downs, the board has produced a Balance sheet for liquidation purposes which is being reviewed by the company's auditors. According to said balance sheet, the company's equity amounts to SEK 3,580,563.69 which is lower than half of the company's registered share capital of SEK 33,041,264.18.
As a consequence of the above the board of directors will, in accordance with the Company's Act, summon an extraordinary general meeting for the shareholders to resolve on whether to liquidate the company or to continue its operations pending the restoration of the company's equity.
The board and management will continue efforts to explore alternatives to sustain the business.
"There is still a strong belief in the services that Urb-it provides, and we are working intensively to find a solution that enables us to continue to provide sustainable last-mile deliveries," says Kevin Kviblad, CEO of Urb-it.
