PRESS RELEASE, 18 November 2015
Nasdaq Stockholm have, after dialogue with Nordic Mines AB (publ) ("Nordic Mines" or the "Company") decided to temporarily give Nordic Mines' share observation status in anticipation of payments for the rights issue for existing shareholders (the "Rights Issue").
As set forth in the press release published on Friday 13 November 2015 and the supplementary prospectus published on Monday 16 November 2015, the Company has entered into an agreement with Lau Su Holding AB (the "Investor") pursuant to which such company has committed to the subscription of 233,500,000 new shares for a total of SEK 46,700,000. The commitment is not secured, but the Indian company Royal Refinery Private Limited has entered into a surety undertaking for its fulfillment. Pursuant to the undertaking, payment for the subscribed shares shall be made no later than 28 November 2015, which date has been agreed due to the requirement of a permit for export of capital from India. Conditional on the undertaking being fulfilled (including due payment), the Investor shall, as consideration for the undertaking, be entitled to a share based compensation corresponding to 114,419,495 new shares (which shall be paid for by set off, based on the subscription price in the Rights Issue, of a cash remuneration of SEK 22,883,899). The undertaking has been procured by the Company in order to ensure reaching a satisfactory subscription rate in the Rights Issue. The agreement, and the therein included commitment fee, has been negotiated between the parties. Several other investors have been contacted and also other forms of financing have been sought. The agreement and the conditions therein have thereby been tested against the market.
As set forth in the Company's prospectus, which was approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority on Friday 23 October and published by the Company the same date, the Company (as of the date of the prospectus) does not have access to sufficient working capital during the next twelve months. The deficit is expected to arise before the year end and if the Company fails with a capital raising through the Rights Issue it is most likely that it could lead to a new corporate reorganization, bankruptcy or other liquidation of the Company.
The prospectus and the supplementary prospectus is available on Nordic Mines' website (www.nordicmines.com) and Evli Bank's website (www.evli.com).
