The information in this press release may not be announced, published or distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore, South Africa, the United States or any other country where such publication or distribution would violate applicable laws or regulations. Please see the important information section at the end of this press release.


The Board of Directors of Tradedoubler AB (publ) ("Tradedoubler" or the "Company"), has today, through the exercise of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, resolved a new issue of ordinary shares of approximately SEK 50.5 million, with a special emphasis on preferential rights for our existing shareholders in Tradedoubler. The company's largest shareholder, Reworld Media S.A. ("Reworld"), has undertaken to subscribe for its pro rata share in the rights issue and in addition guaranteed to subscribe for shares for an additional maximum of approximately SEK 3.8 million, which means that approximately 59.4% of the rights issue is secured.

 


The Rights Issue short


  • The main objectives of the rights issue of approximately SEK 50.5 M, before issue costs, are to finance the Company's repayment of loans to its principal shareholders and a future earn-out related to the acquisition of Kaha GmbH.

  • The Rights Issue is secured through a subscription commitment and guarantees commitment of approximately 59.4%.

  • Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one (1) subscription right. Three (3) subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new ordinary share. The subscription price amounts to SEK 3.30 per ordinary share.

  • The record date for participation in the rights issue is 10 September 2024.

  • The subscription period runs from 12 September 2024 to 26 September 2024.

 


Background and rationale


At the balance sheet date for the second quarter of 2024, Tradedoubler has an outstanding loan of approximately EUR 7 M to its principal owner, Reworld. Of these, EUR 4 million is due for payment in the first half of 2025, and Tradedoubler is discussing how this will be repaid. As part of this, the Board of Directors has decided on the rights issue. In addition, Tradedoubler has acquired all shares in Kaha GmbH, and an earn-out based on the 2024 result will be paid during the first quarter of 2025. It's worth noting that based on current estimates, this earn-out may amount to more than SEK 20 million, potentially significantly boosting Tradedoubler's financial position.

 


Terms and conditions for the rights issue


It's important to note that the record date for participation in the rights issue is 10 September 2024. Shareholders receive one (1) subscription right for each ordinary share held on the record date. Three (3) subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) ordinary share at a subscription price of SEK 3.30 per ordinary share; the subscription period runs from and including 12 September 2024 up to and including 26 September 2024. This information is crucial for participating in the rights issue, and we want you to feel fully informed.


The Rights Issue will increase the Company's share capital by a maximum of SEK 6,123,659.60 to a maximum of SEK 24,494,639.20. The number of ordinary shares will increase by a maximum of 15,309,149 new ordinary shares to a maximum of 61,236,598 ordinary shares. The ownership of the shareholders who choose not to participate in the rights issue will be diluted by approximately 25%, but they can receive financial compensation for the dilution effect by selling their received subscription rights.

 


Subscription commitments and guarantee commitments


The company's largest shareholders support the rights issue. Reworld, representing more than 50% of the company's share capital, has undertaken to subscribe for its pro rata share in the rights issue and is guaranteed to subscribe for shares for an additional maximum of approximately SEK 3.8 million. Reworld has announced that it intends to make payment for the new shares by setting off part of the loan described above. The Board of Directors wants to approve a set-off concerning subscription and allotment.

Information for distributors


In order to fulfil the product governance requirements contained in: (a) Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments, as consolidated, ('MiFID II'); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593, which complements MiFID II and (c) national implementing measures (together, the 'MiFID II Product Governance Requirements') and in order to exempt itself from any non-contractual, contractual or other liability to which any 'manufacturer' (within the meaning of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) might otherwise be subject, Tradedoubler's shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) suitable for a target market of retail investors and investors meeting the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) suitable for distribution through all distribution channels permitted by MiFID II (the 'Target Market Assessment'). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of Tradedoubler shares may fall and investors may lose all or part of their investment; that Tradedoubler shares offer no guarantee of return or capital protection; and that an investment in Tradedoubler shares is suitable only for investors who do not require a guaranteed return or capital protection and who (acting alone or with the assistance of an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and have sufficient resources to bear any losses that may result from such an investment. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any other requirements relating to contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in connection with the Rights Issue.


For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for MiFID II or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, purchase, or take any other action whatsoever concerning the shares in Tradedoubler.


Each distributor is responsible for carrying out its target market assessment regarding Tradedoubler's shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
