Oslo, Norway, 8 July 2025
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published earlier today, 8 July 2025 by Ensurge Micropower ASA ("Ensurge" or the "Company") regarding a contemplated fully underwritten private placement (the "Private Placement") of new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"), where Arctic Securities AS and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) have acted as managers and bookrunners (the "Managers").
The Private Placement has been successfully completed, raising gross proceeds to the Company of NOK 50,000,000, through the issuance of 40,000,000 Offer Shares at a subscription price per Offer Share of NOK 1.25 (the "Offer Price").
In addition, the Board has resolved to propose to grant the investors in the Private Placement one (1) warrant (Nw.: frittstående tegningsrett) for every two (2) Offer Shares allocated to them in the Private Placement (the "Warrants"). The Warrants are transferable but will not be admitted to trading on Oslo Børs. Each Warrant will be free of charge and give the right to subscribe for one new share in the Company at an exercise price of NOK 1.50 per share. The Warrants may be exercised from 1 December 2025 at 09:00 (CET) to 12 December 2025 at 16:30 (CET) (the "Exercise Period"). Following expiry of the Exercise Period, all Warrants not exercised will lapse without compensation. Completion of the Private Placement through delivery of the Offer Shares is not conditional upon the Warrants being issued and subscription of the Offer Shares will remain final and binding and cannot be revoked, cancelled or terminated by applicants if the Warrants are not issued. Issuance of the Warrants is subject to approval by the Company's extraordinary general meeting, which is expected to be held on or about 1 August 2025 (the "EGM").
The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to (i) accelerate development of higher-capacity battery variants (first 28-layer and then targeted 43-layer), (ii) step up sales and marketing activities, (iii) strengthen the Company's financial flexibility and (iv) for general corporate purposes. While the Company anticipates that agreements with partners (strategic and customers) will contribute towards coverage of the Company's cash expenses, there is a risk in terms of timing of such agreements.
Certain existing shareholders, including Svelland Global Trading Master Fund, had, subject to customary conditions, committed to fully underwrite the Private Placement pursuant to underwriting agreements entered into with the Company (the "UWAs") (the "Underwriters"). A total underwriting fee equal to
The share capital increases associated with the Private Placement and the Underwriting Shares have been resolved by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") pursuant to an authorization granted by the Company's annual general meeting held on 15 May 2025 (the "Authorization"). Completion of the Private Placement and issuance of the Underwriting Shares is otherwise subject to the said share capital increases being validly registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the allocated Offer Shares and Underwriting Shares being validly issued and registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS") and the UWAs and the Share Lending Agreement (as defined below) remaining in full force and effect.
Following completion of the Private Placement and issuance of the Underwriting Shares the Company's share capital will be NOK 418,390,160.50 divided into 836,780,321 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.50.
The Private Placement will be settled with existing and unencumbered shares in the Company that are already listed on Oslo Børs, pursuant to a share lending agreement entered into between the Company, the Managers and certain existing shareholders (the "Share Lending Agreement"). The Share Lending Agreement will be settled with the new shares in the Company issued by the Board pursuant to the Authorization (as described above). Settlement of the Private Placement is expected to take place on a delivery versus payment basis on or about 11 July 2025.
The Board has considered the Private Placement in light of the equal treatment obligations under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Oslo Børs' Circular no. 2/2014 and deems that the proposed Private Placement is in compliance with these requirements. The Board holds the view that it is in the common interest of the Company and its shareholders to raise equity through a private placement, in view of the current market conditions and the growth opportunities currently available to the Company. The Private Placement has enabled the Company to raise capital in an efficient manner, and it has been structured to ensure that a market-based subscription price was achieved.
Taking into consideration that the Private Placement was completed with a subscription price representing a premium compared to the closing price on 7 July 2025 and that it was conducted as a publicly announced bookbuilding process, the Board has concluded that a subsequent offering towards existing shareholders is not necessary.
