(Insider information)
Enedo Plc has received
a positive conditional credit decision on EUR 5
million loan
arrangement, calls for
EGM and updates on the
financial position
In the Q3 business review on October 27, 2021, Enedo Plc
commented on the turnaround program and that Enedo Plc needs to
strengthen the liquidity in order to financially manage the
transition period and implement the turnaround program, since it
has shown to be more challenging than anticipated, both in time and
financially. Enedo Plc also commented that the company is under
discussions with various financial institutions on the loan
arrangement. The turnaround program is estimated to cost around EUR
4 million until end of the first quarter next year.
Furthermore, in Enedo Plc´s Stock Exchange Release November
26, 2021, Enedo commented that Enedo Plc has signed a
short-term bridge loan with Inission Ab for minimum EUR 1
million and which can be increased up to EUR 2
million upon separate agreement by the parties,
since Enedo Plc has been under cash constraint and been
in need for strengthening the liquidity and the financial position,
and to finalize the turnaround program to turn into a profitable
company. The bridge loan will become due upon first drawdown of the
below EUR 5.0 million loan, however on 31 December 2021 at the
latest.
Enedo Plc’s financial situation continues to be difficult and
the net sales and Ebit will be lower than last year. The overdue
trade payables were approximately EUR 2.0 million on 30th November
before using the bridge loan to settle overdue payables.
The company's cash and cash equivalents as per
30th November are EUR 1.6 million after receival of the first
instalment of EUR 1.0 million of the bridge loan.
In order to ensure the company’s continuity beyond the
short-term bridge loan, Enedo Plc has applied for and received a
positive credit decision for EUR 5.0 million loan from a financial
institution. The loan would be used to repay the above bridge loan,
pay the company’s overdue trade payables and pay the costs to
complete the company’s turnaround program. One of the loan terms
would be Inission Ab providing a guarantee for the total
outstanding loan amount (including interests and expenses). Should
Inission Ab become liable to pay the loan based on the guarantee,
then Inission Ab would have a right of recourse against the
company. Should the company be unable to pay the said amount to
Inission Ab upon demand, Inission Ab shall then be entitled to
convert the said amount to the shares in Enedo Plc at EUR 0,10 per
share.
The loan arrangement is subject to EGM authorizing Board of
Directors to issue a maximum number of 55,000,000 new shares to be
offered for subscription by Inission Ab at a subscription price of
EUR 0,10 per share. Right to share subscription can only be used if
and to the extent Inission Ab is liable to pay Enedo Plc´s loans
based on the guarantee and Enedo Plc is unable to repay the said
amount to Inission Ab upon demand in which case Inission Ab could
then convert the said amount to new shares in Enedo Plc.
The loan arrangement is also subject to the Financial
Supervisory Authority granting Inission Ab a permanent exemption
from the mandatory tender offer obligation pursuant to Chapter 11,
Section 26 of the Securities Markets Act even if Inission Ab’s
ownership would increase to up to 72.1% as a result of Inission Ab
converting its recourse receivables based on the above guarantee to
new shares in the company.
The EUR 5 million loan arrangement has a maturity date of 30th
September 2022. The company does not expect to be able to repay the
loan on such maturity date from its operating cash-flow. However,
based on the current strong order intake and reduced future cost
levels due to the turnaround program the company aims to either (i)
agree with the loan provider to prolong the maturity date or (ii)
negotiate a new loan with some other financing institution and / or
(iii) to raise sufficient equity financing to repay the loan.
Notice to the EGM will be published by a separate stock exchange
release.
