Ease2pay NV successfully completes a 19.99% capital raise via a
rights offering
Rotterdam, the Netherlands - December 19,
2018, 07h00. Ease2pay N.V. ("Ease2pay" or
the "Company") announces it has successfully
raised additional capital of approximately EUR 2.31 million and it
will issue a total number of 1,539,999 new ordinary shares (the
Rights Offering) at the price of EUR 1.50 per
ordinary share (the Offer Price). The proceeds
from the Rights Offering will be used for i) the Company's working
capital to enable growth of the Company’s services and platform,
ii) to repay EUR 1,471,000 nominal shareholder loans to strengthen
the Company's balance sheet and prevent the related burdensome
accounting treatment of these shareholder loans in the future.
The Rights Offering was completed with an
acceptance rate of 81% of the ordinary shares on offer,
representing a total of 1,246,130 ordinary shares (the
Offer Shares). The ordinary shares from the
unexercised rights (the Rump Shares) were offered
via a private placement to selected qualified investors in Europe
who subscribed for 293,869 Rump Shares at the Offer Price, together
with the Offer Shares raising EUR 2,309,998.50 for Ease2pay. The
Company's outstanding share capital after completion of the Rights
Offering will amount to 9,239,998 shares. Issuance of, payment for
and delivery of the Offer Shares and Rump Shares is expected to
take place on or about 21 December 2018. The Company expects that
the listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam of the Offer Shares
and Rump Shares will take place on or about 21 December 2018.
Mr. Borghuis, director of the Company,
commented: "We are very grateful for the support and trust from our
existing shareholders and new investors. This rights offering
allows us to move forward with further developing our product
offering and considerably expanding marketing efforts in the
Netherlands."
As a result of the repayment of the subordinated
shareholder loans, Ease2pay has an additional interest charge of
EUR 42,098 with which the shareholder loan is repaid at nominal
value. In December 2018 the last part will be recognized as a
charge in the income statement for Ease2pay, this will result in a
higher debt of EUR 42,098, and a lower equity and result of EUR
42,098 for the full year 2018.
NIBC Bank N.V. acted as a subscription, issuing
and settlement agent in relation to the Offer Shares and as a sole
bookrunner in relation to the Rump Shares.
