Enea Evaluates the Possibility to Make a Directed Share Issue


STOCKHOLM, Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Enea AB (publ) ("Enea") has mandated SEB Corporate Finance, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, to evaluate the possibility to make a directed new issue of up to 1,965,000 shares (corresponding to approx. 10 percent of the shares in Enea) to qualified investors. The potential transaction is subject to resolution by the Board of Enea to issue the shares, based on the authorization given by the annual general meeting of Enea on 6 May 2019. 

Enea intends to issue the new shares to establish a more cost-efficient capital structure for continued growth and expansion. Enea plans to use the proceeds from the potential new issue, in combination with new loans, to change its debt structure and reduce capital cost by an early redemption of the SEK 500 million bond issued on 5 March 2018. This change is estimated to yield a positive contribution to the company's earnings-per-share already from 2020. 

This is information that Enea AB (publ) is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact persons set out below, on 22 August 2019 at 5.31 pm CET.
