Selskabsmeddelelse nr. 60 – 2023 |
København den 11. december 2023
Nedenstående oplysninger er FOM Technologies A/S forpligtet til at offentliggøre i henhold til EU’s markedsmisbrugsforordning. Oplysningerne er fremsendt til offentliggørelse den 11. december 2023 kl. 18.02 CET. Denne selskabsmeddelelse indeholder intern viden.
En mindre gruppe af institutionelle investorer, herunder ATP og BankInvest, har i dag givet tilsagn om at erhverve aktier i FOM Technologies A/S (“FOM Technologies” eller “Selskabet”) for ca. 56,60 mio. DKK. Bestyrelsen i Selskabet har udnyttet en eksisterende bemyndigelse til at udstede 1.555.782 nye aktier i Selskabet til en tegningskurs på DKK 28,00 pr. aktie. FOM Technologies modtager et provenu på ca. 43,60 mio. DKK før omkostninger relateret til transaktionen.
I forbindelse hermed har selskabets 2 hovedaktionærer, FOMT Holding ApS (Martin Kiener) og Coridats Capital ApS (Michael Stadi), indgået aftale om salg af i alt 464.284 eksisterende aktier til gruppen af investorer, fordelt ligeligt mellem de 2 hovedaktionærer, til en kurs på DKK 28,00 pr. aktie.
På baggrund af et ønske fra investorerne har selskabet besluttet at udskyde ansøgning til Finanstilsynet samt Nasdaq om opnotering til Main Market – Small Cap.
MÅ IKKE OFFENTLIGGØRES, DISTRIBUERES ELLER UDLEVERES, HVERKEN DIREKTE ELLER INDIREKTE, I ELLER TIL AUSTRALIEN, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, SINGAPORE, SYDAFRIKA, SCHWEIZ ELLER USA, ELLER NOGEN ANDEN JURISDIKTION, HVOR DISTRIBUTION ELLER UDLEVERING VILLE VÆRE ULOVLIG ELLER KRÆVE REGISTRERING ELLER ANDRE FORANSTALTNINGER.
En mindre gruppe af institutionelle investorer, herunder ATP og BankInvest, har i dag givet tilsagn om at erhverve nye og eksisterende aktier i FOM Technologies. Kapitaltilførslen vil styrke Selskabets finansielle stilling og medvirke til, at Selskabet kan fortsætte sin vækstrejse samt accelerere markedsudbygningen med Selskabets produkter og løsninger indenfor materiale forskning.
Tegningskursen pr. aktie svarer til en mindre præmie i forhold til lukkekursen for aktien pr. den 11. december 2023. Det er bestyrelsens vurdering, at tegningskursen i den rettede emission er i overensstemmelse med markedsforholdene. Fravigelsen af aktionærernes fortegningsret er begrundet i et ønske om at diversificere aktionærbasen yderligere og samtidig rejse kapital på en tidseffektiv måde.
Der udstedes i alt 1.555.782 aktier a nominelt DKK 0,10. Udstedelsen af nye aktier medfører en udvanding af de eksisterende aktionærer på ca. 16,63 procent efter gennemførelsen af transaktionen som følge af en stigning i antallet af udstedte aktier og stemmer fra i dag 7.798.914 til 9.354.696. Aktiekapitalen forhøjes fra DKK 779.891,40 til DKK 935.469,60. Efter transaktionens gennemførelse vil ATP besidde ca. 13,96 procent af kapitalen i FOM Technologies. FOMT Holding ApS (Martin Kiener) og Coridats Capital ApS (Michael Stadi) vil besidde henholdsvis 21,57 procent og 11,01 procent af kapitalen i FOM Technologies efter transaktionens gennemførelse.
Afvikling og registrering af kapitalforhøjelsen vil ske hurtigst muligt. Tidsplanen for afvikling forventes som følger:

”I et udfordret marked for kapital rejsning på Nasdaq First North er vi meget stolte over det tilsagn, som en gruppe af danske ”blue chip” investorer har givet til selskabet og byder dem velkommen på vores vækstrejse. Ved selskabets børsnotering i 2020 rejste vi et af de mindste beløb ved en børsintroduktion i Danmark nogensinde, da vi ønskede at vise vores investorer, at vi kunne levere resultater, før vi bad om yderligere midler. I dag er vi af den opfattelse, at vi har vist flotte resultater, og vi mener, at tiden er inde til at styrke vores kapitalstruktur. Midlerne fra de nye investorer vil gøre det muligt for selskabet at øge forretningen og opfylde den stigende efterspørgsel efter vores produkter, så vi kan fortsætte vores vækstrejse.’’

Company Announcement
Company announcement no. 60 – 2023 |
Copenhagen, the 11th of December 2023
FOM Technologies A/S is obliged to publish the following information in accordance with the EU’s market abuse regulation. The information was submitted for publication on 11 December 2023 at 18:02. This company announcement contains insider information.
A smaller group of institutional investors, including ATP and BankInvest, have today committed to acquire shares in FOM Technologies A/S (“FOM Technologies” or the “Company”) for DKK 56.60 million. DKK. The Board of Directors of the Company has used an existing authorization to issue 1,555,782 new shares in the Company at a subscription price of DKK 28.00 per stock. FOM Technologies receives proceeds of approx. 43.60 million DKK before costs related to the transaction.
In connection with this, the Company’s two main shareholders FOMT Holding ApS (Martin Kiener) and Coridats Capital ApS (Michael Stadi) have entered into an agreement to sell a total of 464,284 existing shares to the group of investors, divided equally between the two main shareholders, at a price of DKK 28.00 per share.
Based on a request from the investors, the Company has decided to postpone the application to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and Nasdaq for listing on the Main Market – Small Cap.
SHOULD NOT BE PUBLISHED, DISTRIBUTED OR DELIVERED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR TO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SWITZERLAND OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE DISTRIBUTION OR DELIVERY WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR OTHER ACTIONS.
A small group of institutional investors, including ATP and BankInvest, have today agreed to acquire new and existing shares in FOM Technologies. The capital injection will strengthen the Company’s financial position and help the Company continue its growth journey as well as accelerate market development with the Company’s products and solutions within materials research.
The transaction price per share corresponds to a smaller premium compared to the closing price of the share on the 11th of Dec. 2023. It is the board’s assessment that the transaction price is in line with market conditions. The deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right is justified by a desire to further diversify the shareholder base and at the same time raise capital in a time-efficient manner.
A total of 1,555,782 shares are issued with a nominal value of DKK 0.10. The issue of new shares results in a dilution of the existing shareholders of approx. 16.63 percent after completion of the transaction as a result of an increase in the number of issued shares and votes from today’s 7,798,914 to 9,354,696. The share capital is increased from DKK 779,891.40 to DKK 935,469.60. After completion of the transaction, ATP will hold approx. 13.96 procent of the capital in FOM Technologies. FOMT Holding ApS (Martin Kiener) and Coridats Capital ApS (Michael Stadi) will hold respectively 21.57 procent and 11.01 procent of the capital in FOM Technologies after completion of the transaction.
Settlement and registration of the capital increase will take place as soon as possible. The timetable for the transaction is expected as follows:

Chairman of the board Andreas Nielsen in FOM Technologies, states:
”In an otherwise challenged market for capital raising on Nasdaq First North, we are very proud of the commitment a group of Danish “blue chip” investors have made to the company and welcome them on our growth journey. At the company’s IPO in 2020, we raised one of the smallest amounts ever for an IPO in Denmark, as we wanted to show our investors that we could deliver results before asking for additional funds. Today, we are of the opinion that we have shown great results, and we believe that the time has come to strengthen our capital structure. The funds from the new investors will enable the company to increase business and meet the growing demand for our products so that we can continue our growth journey.”
