About the Company and motive for listing and IPO

MeeW operates as a tech venture builder in the field of technology, digitalization, and automation. Until now, its main focus has been on building its own tech brands, developing IT services for clients and backing tech pioneers through investments. The focus of the Group is fully on these core businesses and thus growing MeeW as an entity while scaling the subsidiaries, investments, and brands. MeeW experiences an increased demand for its brands, services, and investments, especially in the fields of consultancy services and academy program. For the period 1 January – 31 December 2022, the Company’s net revenue amounted to DKK 20,189,340, which is an increase of 169 percent compared to its net revenue in 2021.  

In the short term, MeeW will focus on scaling the existing business and its brands even more, as well as launching new brands. To finance this, the Company intends to carry out a new issue of shares and list its shares on Spotlight Stock Market in March 2023. The Offer is intended to provide MeeW with a maximum of DKK 18.5 million before deduction of transaction related costs of DKK 2.5 million including guarantee compensation, and of which DKK 14,85 million are secured in advance via pre-subscription and guarantee commitments. The terms are market-based and the same for pre-subscribers as for others subscribing in the IPO.

 

According to the Board of Directors and executive management, MeeW is well positioned for future organic growth with a strong focus on its brands, services, and investments. The IPO will support the Company’s continued growth and provide MeeW with access to capital markets. It also gives the Company a greater ability to grow and expand. MeeW has, according to the Board of Directors, an already well-established transparency, prestige, and credibility, which will give the Company a better foundation for international expansion. The IPO also adds to the Company’s ability to acquire and invest in early-stage startups and investment cases, that the Company has access to through network and partnerships. Additionally, according to the Board of Directors, MeeW’s well-branded reputation will attract even more talents and high-level profiles by operating in a listed environment. 

 

The issue proceeds are mainly intended to increase sales activities and marketing efforts through MeeW STUDIOS, as well as finance each brand belonging to the Group in order for them to go to the market. This will in turn create value to the existing business, and thus contribute to MeeW’s continued growth and expansion.

 

The net proceeds of DKK 16 million are intended to finance the following activities, ordered by priority:

• Scaling the subsidiary MeeW STUDIOS in terms of recruitment, increased sales activities, and increased marketing efforts (30 percent).
• Personnel costs and other operating expenses (16.5 percent).
• Recruitment of a “Head of” for each brand that will be launched during 2023 and 2024 (10 percent).
• Allocate capital for each subsidiary belonging to the Group in order for them to launch and execute their own go-to-market strategy (25 percent).
