Payment services provider Qliro has resolved to launch a rights issue of approximately 60 million SEK before transaction costs, according to a press release.

Under the terms, each existing share entitles the holder to one subscription right, and eight subscription rights grant the right to subscribe for one new share. The subscription price is set at 17 SEK per share. The subscription period will run from March 26 to April 14.

The dilution effect for shareholders who choose not to participate in the rights issue is approximately 11 percent.

The issue is fully secured through subscription commitments from existing shareholders and new investors.

Should the issue be oversubscribed, the board may decide to increase the total issue amount by up to approximately 40 million SEK through an over-allotment option. In such an event, the dilution would instead amount to 17 percent.

Qliro intends to use the proceeds to support continued growth, including strengthening equity to maintain a solid capital base as payment and lending volumes increase, as well as for general corporate purposes.

"Our commercial momentum has continued into the new year, and in the first two months alone, we have signed agreements representing more than 2 billion SEK in increased transaction volume, while over 100 merchants have chosen to upgrade to Qliro. Against this backdrop, we are now conducting a strategic capital raise that provides us with the funds to finance our growing loan book and accelerate our ambition to become the Nordic market leader within 3-5 years," comments CEO Christoffer Rutgersson.
