No one should purchase or subscribe for any securities in GreenMobility A/S except on the basis of information in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) published by GreenMobility A/S in connection with the rights issue and admission of new shares to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.

GreenMobility A/S publishes prospectus and launches a guaranteed and committed rights issue to raise DKK 147 million in new capital
Today, GreenMobility A/S (”GreenMobility” or the “Company”) is present with 950 electric vehicles in eight cities across five countries. GreenMobility’s business is based on a strong operation including a lowered cost base, and GreenMobility has reached operational profitability in Copenhagen. GreenMobility’s defined 2025 aspirations of being in 35 cities with +10,000 electric vehicles by 2025 remain unchanged.
With this rights issue, GreenMobility will capitalize the Company for its growth plan with a longer financial run rate, which is expected to fund the Company into early 2023, depending on acceleration of city launches.
GreenMobility A/S today announces that its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has resolved to initiate a rights issue with pre-emptive subscription rights (the “Pre-emptive Rights”) for the Company’s existing shareholders (the “Existing Shareholders”) allowing for subscription of up to 1,474,025 new shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.40 each (the “New Shares”) at a subscription price of DKK 100 per New Share (the “Subscription Price”) (the “Offering”).
“With this rights issue we will capitalize GreenMobility to ensure we can take the next big steps in our growth plan. Therefore, it has been a key driver for us to ensure a fully guaranteed and committed rights issue, so we will have the funding in place to achieve this. At the same time I am really proud of the support we have received from both our existing strong Danish investors AkademikerPension, LD, Arbejdernes Landsbank and others, but also the guarantors like BankInvest who ensure we will reach our target proceeds” says Thomas Heltborg Juul, CEO of GreenMobility A/S.
The Offering is fully guaranteed and committed meaning that the Company has received advanced pre-subscription commitments (“Pre-Subscription Commitments”) from Existing Shareholders including among others Aktieselskabet Arbejdernes Landsbank, Kapitalforeningen MP Invest (AkademikerPension) (as managed by MP Investment Management A/S “MPIM”), Kapitalforeningen LD (as managed by MPIM) as well as certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and Executive Management that wish to exercise their Pre-emptive Rights to subscribe for New Shares, and also guarantee commitments (“Guarantee Commitments”) from funds managed by BankInvest, Kapitalforeningen LD (as managed by MPIM) and Kapitalforeningen MP Invest (AkademikerPension) (as managed by MPIM), NIWA Holding A/S and Aktieselskabet Arbejdernes Landsbank who act as guarantors and thus have guaranteed to subscribe for any Remaining Shares (as defined below) not subscribed for by exercise of Pre-emptive Rights, which together correspond to the maximum amount of New Shares expected to be issued as part of the Offering, raising gross proceeds of DKK 147.4 million.
The Offering is made at a subscription ratio of 2:1, meaning that each of the Company’s Existing Shareholders (registered as a shareholder with VP Securities on 8 September 2021 at 5:59 pm CET) will be allocated one (1) Pre-emptive Right per existing share held, and that two (2) Pre-emptive Rights are required to subscribe for one (1) New Share at the Subscription Price of DKK 100 per New Share. The Prospectus regarding the Offering is, subject to certain restrictions, available at the Company’s website: www.greenmobility.com/investors/.
Reason for the Offering and use of proceeds.
The Offering is expected to raise gross proceeds to the Company of DKK 147.4 million with net proceeds expected to be DKK 141.3 million after deduction of costs and expenses payable by the Company in relation to the Offering.
The Company expects to apply net proceeds from the Offering for the following purposes and with the following expected distribution and priority:
| Purpose | Distribution (%) |
| Funding of expansion to new cities | 45-70 % |
| Funding of operating existing cities which are not yet profitable | 15-35 % |
| Development costs including relating to headquarters | 0-5 % |
| Partial payment on new cars (majority financed) | 5-15 % |
| Other / general working capital purposes | 0-5 % |
As such, the net proceeds from the Offering will primarily be used for expansion into new markets as well as funding the existing cities that are not yet profitable. Generally, the Company contemplates to continuously seek growth opportunities and raise additional capital to pursue such opportunities where additional financing is needed as the Company prioritizes growth and expanding to new cities. The Company’s belief and strategy is that growth creates volume which in turn creates profit.
With the proceeds from the contemplated Offering, the Company intends to ensure sufficient funding to focus on its growth plan. At the same time, the Company expects to ensure a longer financial run rate, which is expected to fund the Company into early 2023, depending on acceleration of city launches.
The Company will likely seek to raise further capital within a few years in order to accelerate its international expansion and growth.
Main terms and conditions of the Offering
Below is a summary of the main terms of the Offering. Reference is made to the Prospectus for a detailed description of the main terms.
The Offering
The Offering comprises up to 1,474,025 New Shares of nominally DKK 0.40 each with Pre-emptive Rights for the Existing Shareholders of the Company (registered with VP Securities on 8 September at 5:59 pm CET).
Advance pre-subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings
The Offering is fully guaranteed and committed pursuant to the Pre-Subscription Commitments and Guarantee Commitments from existing shareholders and new investors as guarantors for any Remaining Shares not subscribed for by holders of Pre-emptive Rights. On the terms and conditions of the Pre-Subscription Commitments and Guarantee Commitments, the Company has obtained commitments that all New Shares will be subscribed for corresponding to aggregate gross proceeds of DKK 147.4 million.
Subscription Price
The New Shares are offered at a Subscription Price of DKK 100 per New Share.
Subscription ratio and allocation of Pre-emptive Rights
The Offering is being made at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that Existing Shareholders registered as such with VP Securities A/S on 8 September 2021 at 5:59 p.m. CET will be allocated one (1) Pre-emptive Right per existing share and that two (2) Pre-emptive Rights will be required to subscribe for one (1) New Share at the Subscription Price of DKK 100 per New Share.
Trading in Pre-emptive Rights
The Pre-emptive Rights can be traded on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S under the temporary ISIN code DK0061672847 during the period from 7 September 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET to 20 September 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET.
Subscription period
The subscription period for the New Shares commences on 9 September 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 22 September 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET. Any of the Pre-emptive Rights not exercised during this subscription period will lapse with no value, and the holder of such Pre-emptive Rights will not be entitled to any compensation. Once a holder has exercised the Pre-emptive Rights by subscribing for New Shares, such subscription cannot be withdrawn or modified by the holder.
The New Shares
The Board of Directors has resolved to increase the Company’s share capital by exercising the authorization in article 3.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association to issue shares with pre-emptive subscription rights for the Company’s Existing Shareholders. The New Shares will, once duly registered with the Danish Business Authority, rank pari passu with and carry the same rights as the Company’s existing shares.
After payment of the aggregate Subscription Price, the New Shares will be issued under the temporary ISIN code, DK0061672920. The temporary ISIN code for the New Shares will not be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S. The temporary ISIN code is, thus, registered in VP Securities A/S solely for the subscription of New Shares. The temporary ISIN code will be merged with the permanent ISIN code for the Company’s existing shares, DK0060817898, as soon as possible after registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority (expectedly on 1 October 2021). The New Shares will be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S under the same ISIN code as the Company’s existing shares with the expected first day of trading and official listing being 30 September 2021.
Upon exercise of the Pre-emptive Rights, the holder must pay DKK 100 per New Share subscribed for. Payment of the New Shares shall be made in Danish kroner (DKK) on the date of subscription, however, no later than on 22 September 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET, against delivery of the New Shares in the investor's account with VP Securities under the temporary ISIN code DK0061672920. Holders of Pre-emptive Rights are required to adhere to the account agreement with their own custodian institution or other financial intermediary through which they hold existing shares in accordance with the rules of such institution or intermediary.
Completion and withdrawal of the Offering
Completion of the Offering is conditional upon the Offering not being withdrawn by the Company. The Offering may be withdrawn by the Company at any time prior to registration of the capital increase relating to the Offering with the Danish Business Authority. Any such withdrawal will be notified via Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.
If the Offering is not completed or is withdrawn, any exercise of Pre-emptive Rights that has already taken place will be cancelled automatically. The subscription amount paid will be refunded (less any transaction costs) to the last registered owner of the New Shares as of the date of such withdrawal. All unexercised Pre-emptive Rights will lapse, and no New Shares will be issued.
Trades of Pre-emptive Rights executed during the rights trading period will not be affected. Consequently, investors who have acquired Pre-emptive Rights will incur a loss corresponding to the purchase price and any related transaction costs.
The Company is not liable for any losses that investors may suffer as a result of withdrawal of the Offering including but not limited to, any transaction costs or lost interest.
Minimum and maximum subscription amount
The minimum number of New Shares that a holder of Pre-emptive Rights may subscribe will be one (1) New Share, requiring the exercise of two (2) Pre-emptive Rights and the payment of the Subscription Price. The number of New Shares that a holder of Pre-emptive Rights may subscribe for is not capped. However, the number that a shareholder has the right to subscribe for is limited to the number of New Shares that may be subscribed for through the exercise of the Pre-emptive Rights held or acquired.
Remaining Shares
New Shares that have not been subscribed for by holders of Pre-emptive Rights before the expiry of the Subscription Period (“Remaining Shares”) may, without compensation to the holders of unexercised Pre-emptive Rights, be subscribed for by other Existing Shareholders, investors in Denmark and/or investors satisfying applicable exemptions in Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation, such as qualified investors, who have made binding undertakings to subscribe for the Remaining Shares by entering into pre-subscription commitments and/or guarantee commitments or by use of the application form contained in the Prospectus before the expiry of the subscription period.
In case of oversubscription of the Remaining Shares in connection with binding undertakings, such Remaining Shares will be allocated according to allocation keys determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Payment for and delivery of New Shares
Holders of Pre-emptive Rights must, upon exercise of such Pre-emptive Rights, pay DKK 100 per New Share subscribed for to the Company (free and clear of any deductions, fees, charges, etc.). Payment for the New Shares shall be made in Danish kroner on the date of the subscription and in no event later than 22 September 2021.
Pre-allotment
There is no pre-allotment of New Shares.
