STOCKHOLM, Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Enea AB (publ)
("Enea") has mandated SEB Corporate Finance, Skandinaviska Enskilda
Banken, to evaluate the possibility to make a directed new issue of
up to 1,965,000 shares (corresponding to approx. 10 percent of the
shares in Enea) to qualified investors. The potential transaction
is subject to resolution by the Board of Enea to issue the shares,
based on the authorization given by the annual general meeting of
Enea on 6 May 2019.
Enea intends to issue the new shares to establish a more
cost-efficient capital structure for continued growth and
expansion. Enea plans to use the proceeds from the
potential new issue, in combination with new loans, to change its
debt structure and reduce capital cost by an early redemption of
the SEK 500 million bond issued on 5
March 2018. This change is estimated to yield a positive
contribution to the company's earnings-per-share already from
2020.
This is information that Enea AB (publ) is obliged to make
public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information
was submitted for publication, through the agency of the
contact persons set out below, on 22 August
2019 at 5.31 pm CET.
