BoMill Board of Directors proposes a secured new share issue of maximum SEK 21,9 million to scale up the commercialization of BoMill InSight

The Board of Directors of BoMill AB (”BoMill” or the ”Company”) proposes a rights issue to be decided at an extraordinary general meeting on 6 April 2023. The new share issue provides the Company with a maximum amount of approximately SEK 21,9 million before transaction costs. The conditions in the rights issue entitle shareholders for every holding of one current share the right to subscribe for one new share of a price of SEK 0,47 per share. The subscription of the rights issue is secured corresponding to 100 percent of the maximum amount of the rights issue by agreements the Company has entered into according to below.

The net proceeds from the rights issue will be used to scale up the commercialization of BoMill’s new generation of grain sorting equipment, BoMill InSight™, and support the continuous operations of the company. Following the field-testing phase, BoMill InSight™ was launched earlier this year, and two customer installations are already scheduled in Europe, for the first half of 2023. While the European market already shows interest in the technology, North and Latin America also presents great potential for BoMill technology. In collaboration with local partners, BoMill’s commercial activities in these markets have therefore intensified during 2023.

“With the proposed share issue, we can move forward and further support the commercialization of BoMill InSight™. The capitalization will strengthen the company's financial position in the short run and boost our sales and marketing activities, supporting our efforts in the North and Latin American markets. I am very pleased with the confidence investors show by committing to our rights issue and that they have acknowledged our sustainable and unique offer for grain sorting", says Andreas Jeppsson CEO, BoMill AB.
