Catena Media announces the outcome of the exercise of warrants during post Q4 2020 report subscription period

In total, 1,351,582 Warrants, corresponding to approximately 3.6 per cent. of all outstanding Warrants (being approximately 2.9 per cent. of all Warrants issued as part of the rights issue), were used to subscribe for the same number of new ordinary shares in the Company. Payment for the new ordinary shares has been made in cash with a total amount of approximately SEK 3.4 million and by set-off of the Company’s hybrid capital securities (“Capital Securities”) to a total amount of approximately SEK 22.2 million.

Exercise of Warrants
During the subscription period following the publication of the financial report for the fourth quarter 2020, a total of 1,351,582 Warrants were used to subscribe for 1,351,582 ordinary shares in the Company, corresponding to approximately 3.6 per cent. of all outstanding Warrants (being approximately 2.9 per cent. of all Warrants issued as part of the rights issue). The subscription price for each share was SEK 18.90.

162,194 subscribed shares have been paid exclusively in cash, and 1,189,388 were paid by set-off and in cash. Holders who paid for their shares by set-off had to pay an additional cash amount to cover remaining parts of the subscription price (i.e., to the extent the subscription price has exceeded the nominal amount of the Capital Securities used for set-off), meaning that the Company will receive approximately SEK 3.4 million in total before issue costs. In total, 221,625 Capital Securities (each with a nominal amount of SEK 100), were used to subscribe for the 1,189,388 shares paid by set-off, meaning that a total nominal amount of SEK 22,162,500 of the Company’s Capital Securities have been used for set-off purposes.

The total outstanding nominal amount of the Capital Securities will be reduced from SEK 597,742,200 to SEK 575,579,700 through a cancellation of the Capital Securities used for the aforementioned set-off in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Capital Securities.
