The Board of Directors of Minesto AB (publ) (“Minesto” or the “Company”) has today resolved on an intention to carry out an issue of shares with preferential rights for the Company’s existing shareholders of approximately SEK 130 million (the “Rights Issue”), and to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 23 November 2026 to resolve on an amendment of the Articles of Association and a new authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on issues of shares and warrants (the “Authorisation”) in order to enable the Rights Issue. The Board of Directors intends to formally resolve on the Rights Issue on 25 November 2026, by virtue of the authorisation from the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has received subscription undertakings from the Company’s largest shareholder Corespring New Technology AB (“Corespring”) and from shareholding members of the Company’s management amounting to a total of approximately SEK 10.5 million, and a bottom guarantee commitment from Vator Securities AB (“Vator”) amounting to approximately SEK 67.5 million. The Rights Issue is thus covered by subscription undertakings and a guarantee commitment of approximately SEK 78 million, corresponding to approximately 60 percent of the Rights Issue.
Minesto intends to use the proceeds from the Rights Issue to secure project investments for the first commercial arrays, with Hestfjord in the Faroe Islands and Euro Dragon Farm in Ireland as the lead candidates, and for sales of microgrid systems emerging from the ongoing development in the Faroe Islands. In addition, the proceeds will cover costs for Dragon technology advancements for scale-up, as well as working capital for general corporate purposes.
Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be announced in a separate press release.
