Once issued, the new shares will carry the same rights as existing shares. The new shares shall be registered in the name of the holder through Euronext Securities. All rights relating to the new shares, including voting rights and dividend rights, will apply as from the time where the capital increase is registered with the Danish Business Authority.
Expected timetable for the capital increase
The Company expects to receive final subscriptions and subscription amounts no later than on 29 November 2023, following which the share capital increase will be registered with the Danish Business Authority. The new shares are expected to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market under the existing ISIN code for Impero’s shares no later than 4 December 2023. The offering and admission to trading is exempt from the obligation to publish a prospectus.
“We are grateful for the support from our new as well as current investors. While I am pleased with our improved cash efficiency reported in our 2023-Q3 announcement, illustrating our ability to scale commercial reach with our current foundation, I am equally pleased with the opportunity to further invest in our platform and fuel commercial activities,” says CEO Rikke Stampe Skov.
