On 1 March 2022, Logistea AB (publ) (”Logistea” or the “Company”) announced the Board of Directors’ intention to resolve on a fully guaranteed rights issue of approximately SEK 350 million with preferential rights for existing holders of ordinary shares (the “Preferential Rights Issue”). The Board of Directors has today, 18 March 2022, decided to carry out the Preferential Rights Issue.

THE PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS ISSUE IN BRIEF

  • Shareholders in Logistea have preferential rights to subscribe for one (1) new share of Class A and Class B, respectively, per five (5) existing shares of Class A and Class B, respectively.
  • The subscription price has been set to SEK 18 per ordinary share, regardless of share class, which will provide proceeds of approximately SEK 350 million before transaction costs.
  • The record date for participation in the Preferential Rights Issue is 25 March 2022.
  • The subscription period runs from 29 March 2022 up to and including 12 April 2022.
  • The Preferential Rights Issue is carried out following a decision by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Board’s authorization given at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 22 October 2021.
  • Ilija Batljan (through companies), Dragfast AB, Stefan Hansson (directly and through companies), Rutger Arnhult (through companies), Phoenix Insurance Group Ltd, Patrik Tillman (through companies), and board member Bengt Kjell, who together hold and represent approximately 53.7 per cent of the shares and 56.5 per cent of the votes in the Company, have undertaken to subscribe for their respective pro rata shares in the Preferential Rights Issue. The part of the Preferential Rights Issue that is not covered by subscription commitments is guaranteed by Ilija Batljan through Ilija Batljan Invest AB (publ), Rutger Arnhult through M2 Capital Management AB, Otre Fund LP, board member Bengt Kjell, and COO Tobias Lövstedt through Toblov AB. Thus, the Preferential Rights Issue is fully guaranteed.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Logistea’s overall growth target is to achieve SEK 15 billion in property value within three years, by the end of 2024. The Company intends to grow through both acquisitions of properties and land as well as through development of and investments in the existing portfolio. The target for the future is to annually complete at least 25,000 square meters of new lettable space and the Company sees great opportunities to grow with existing and new tenants.

The purpose of the Preferential Rights Issue is to give the Company capacity to realize the Company’s growth strategy. Inter alia, part of the proceeds is to be used in connection with the Company’s planned acquisition of a property portfolio containing 15 properties with a total property value of SEK 770 million, in accordance with a letter of intent published on 1 March 2022.

TERMS OF THE PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS ISSUE
Logistea’s existing holders of ordinary shares have preferential rights to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the same class (Class A and Class B respectively) in proportion to the number of ordinary shares that the holder already owns (primary preferential right). Shareholders who on the record date 25 March 2022 are registered as the holder of ordinary shares of Class A and Class B in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden for Logistea, have preferential right to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Preferential Rights Issue in proportion to the number of ordinary shares of Class A and Class B, respectively, held on the record date (primary preferential right). For each ordinary share of Class A held on the record date, shareholders will receive one (1) subscription right of Class A and for each ordinary share of Class B held on the record date, shareholders will receive one (1) subscription right of Class B. The subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for shares with preferential rights, whereby five (5) subscription rights of Class A entitle subscription of one (1) new ordinary share of Class A and five (5) subscription rights of Class B entitle subscription of one (1) new ordinary share of Class B.

Ordinary shares that are not subscribed for through primary preferential rights will primarily be offered to all existing shareholders for subscription (subsidiary subscription rights). If ordinary shares offered in this way are not sufficient for the subscription that takes place with subsidiary preferential rights, the ordinary shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to the number of subscription rights each such subscriber exercised for subscription of shares, and to the extent this cannot be done, by drawing of lots. Secondly, if all ordinary shares are not allotted as above, allotment shall be made to persons who have expressed an interest in subscribing for ordinary shares without preferential rights and, in the event of oversubscription, in relation to the number of ordinary shares stated in the respective subscription application, can be done, by drawing lots. Finally, the remaining ordinary shares will be allotted to the issue guarantors Ilija Batljan through Ilija Batljan Invest AB (publ), Rutger Arnhult through M2 Capital Management AB, Otre Fund LP, board member Bengt Kjell, and COO Tobias Lövstedt through Toblov AB, in accordance with the guarantee commitment described below.

Through the Preferential Rights Issue, Logistea’s share capital will increase by SEK 9,714,066.50, from SEK 48,570,333.00 to SEK 58,284,399.50, by issuing 1,594,732 new Class A shares and 17,833,401 new Class B shares. The number of ordinary shares in the Company will increase by 19,428,133 ordinary shares, from 97,140,666 ordinary shares to 116,568,799 ordinary shares, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 16.7 per cent of the total number of shares and 16.7 per cent of the total number of votes in the Company. Shareholders who choose not to participate in the Preferential Rights Issue have the opportunity to fully or partially compensate themselves financially for the dilution effect by selling their subscription rights.

The new shares in Logistea are issued at a subscription price of SEK 18 per ordinary share, regardless of share class. No commission fee will be charged. Thus, the Preferential Rights Issue will provide Logistea with approximately SEK 350 million before deductions for transaction costs, which are estimated to amount to SEK 9.6 million (including compensation for the guarantee commitments).

The record date at Euroclear Sweden for determining who is entitled to receive subscription rights is 25 March 2022. This means that the share will be traded including right to receive subscription rights until 23 March 2022.

The subscription period runs from 29 March 2022, up to and including, 12 April 2022, or the later date decided by the Board of Directors. Trading in subscription rights of Class A and Class B, respectively, takes place on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from 29 March 2022 up to and including 7 April 2022 and trading in paid subscribed shares (BTA) of Class A and Class B, respectively, takes place on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from 29 March 2022 up to and including 25 April 2022.

Some of Logistea’s largest shareholders; Ilija Batljan (through companies), Dragfast AB, Stefan Hansson (directly and through companies), Rutger Arnhult (through companies), Phoenix Insurance Group Ltd, Patrik Tillman (through companies), and Bengt Kjell, who together hold and represent approximately 53.7 per cent of the shares and 56.5 per cent of the votes in the Company, support the decision on a new share issue and have made binding subscription commitments for subscription of shares corresponding to their respective pro rata shares in the Preferential Rights Issue.

The guarantee agreements amount to approximately SEK 162 million, corresponding to approximately 46.3 per cent of the Preferential Rights Issue. Guarantee compensation of three (3) per cent of the maximum guarantee commitment less amount corresponding to subscription commitments provided is paid in connection with the guarantee commitment, corresponding to a total of approximately SEK 4.9 million. The guarantee commitments have been entered into at the turn of the month February/March 2022.
