Q&A Tekna Rights Issue

What is a rights issue?

A rights issue is an offer to existing shareholders to purchase additional shares, typically at a discount and in proportion to their current holdings. It allows a company to raise equity capital while maintaining equal treatment among shareholders.

 

How does a rights issue differ from other types of equity financing (e.g., public offering, private placement)?

Unlike a private placement, a rights issue gives priority to existing shareholders, protecting their ownership from immediate dilution. 

Why does Tekna opt for a rights issue instead of taking on debt?

Tekna’s priority is to strengthen its financial position through an equity raise that provides a long-term and sustainable capital structure. While the company already has credit facilities in place, a rights issue reduces leverage, improves liquidity, and ensures flexibility to execute on the company’s growth plans. The Board considers equity financing the most appropriate solution at this stage, providing a stronger balance sheet and avoiding additional financial covenants or interest costs.

 

What are the proceeds used for?

In summary, 1) repayment of the AFK loan and 2) the accrued interest on that loan. The rest will be used for 3) corporate purposes.

 

Refer to slide 6 of the investor presentation for more details.

   

What is the price and and discount applicable to me?

The rights issue subscription price will be set at up to 25% discount to VWAP the last 10 trading days prior to the EGM to be held 12 November 2025,  and is expected to be announced on 13 November 2025.

What does it mean that Arendals Fossekompani ("AFK") underwrites 100% of the Rights Issue?

It means that AFK has agreed to purchase all the rights not subscribed for by existing shareholders in the rights issue. Underwriting is a guarantee, ensuring that Tekna raises the full amount of money it is seeking to raise, regardless of shareholder participation. AFK is not paid for this guarantee. 

How does a rights issue affect existing shareholders?

Shareholders who exercise their subscription rights and subscribe for shares will maintain their proportional ownership. Those who do not risk dilution, but can sell their subscription rights during part of the subscription period, thereby receiving financial compensation for the dilution through the value of the rights.

What do I as a shareholder need to do to participate (buy)? Or sell the rights? 

All shareholders will receive an option to buy rights proportioned to their existing holdings, through a subscription form. Arctic, as the advisor, will have the  subscription form open on its website, and it will also come as an attachment to the prospectus. This will include all relevant information with regards to the transaction (period etc).

Can shareholders sell their rights on the market? Under what circumstances?

Yes, the subscription rights will be tradable during part of the subscription period. You may only sell the rights allocated to you, which will be visible in your VPS account, and can be sold directly through the VPS system.

What are the consequences of not participating in the rights issue?

Shareholders who don’t participate will see their ownership percentage diluted. Additionally, since the rights issue is usually at a discount to current trading levels, they may miss out on the opportunity to buy shares below market value and lose value on current shareholdings.

How and when do I pay for the additional shares?

Payment instructions will be available in the subscription form which is a part of the prospectus, and will be arranged by Arctic Securities. Date for payment will be dependent on launch date and the overall process, and will be available through stock exchange announcement on NewsWeb.
