Innsideinformasjon
SPENN Technology A/S har i dag mottatt et tilbud fra Tyrill AB om å kjøpe visse eiendeler fra selskapet. Styret i SPENN Technology A/S anbefaler tilbudet fra Tyrill AB. Transaksjonen innebærer at all aksjer i porteføljeselskapene Blockbonds AS, Kazang Zambia Ltd, JengaX AS og Valiant Advance Solutions Ltd vil bli overført til Tyrill AB, mens SPENN Technology A/S vil motta aksjer i Tyrill AB i en kommende børsemisjon. Transaksjonen verdsetter eiendelene til SEK 210 000 000, hvorav SEK 200 000 000 vil bli utbetalt som nye aksjer i Tyrill AB og SEK 10 000 000 i kontanter. SPENN Technology A/S vil vurdere å betale ut aksjene i Tyrill AB som et ekstraordinært utbytte, som betyr at nåværende aksjonærer i SPENN Technology A/S vil bli direkte aksjonærer i Tyrill AB.
Transaksjonen forutsetter at dagens ledelse i SPENN Technology A/S og datterselskaper fortsetter i samme rolle i Tyrill AB. Jens Glasø vil bli utpekt som CEO i Tyrill AB så snart transaksjonen er godkjent, og hovedkvarteret til Tyrill AB vil være i Kristiansand.

Prisen vil avgjøres ved bruk av book-building-metoden, slik at nåværende aksjonærer i SPENN Technology A/S vil eie omtrentlig mellom 60 og 70 prosent av Tyrill AB etter børsemisjonen.

Formålet med selskapet er å investere i, utvikle og finne synergier mellom selskaper i betalingssektoren, først i Afrika og deretter i resten av det globale Sør. Selskapet vil bygge på de eksisterende verdiene i de fire porteføljeselskapene i SPENN Technology A/S og fortsette å lete etter flere oppkjøpsmuligheter. I forkant av transaksjonen har Tyrill AB kapitalisert opp med SEK 20 000 000.

Transaksjonen forutsetter godkjenning fra minst 50 prosent av aksjonærene i SPENN Technology A/S. Ekstraordinær generalforsamling vil bli avholdt 3. april 2024. Innkalling vil bli sendt separat og vil inneholde informasjon til aksjonærer for å vurdere forslaget.
