As announced on 21 September 2021 in connection with the listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq First North Growth Market (“First North”) and the new issue of shares in (the “Offering”), SEB, in its capacity as stabilisation manager, has had the opportunity to carry out transactions in the Company's share in order to support the market price at a level higher than that which might otherwise have prevailed in the market.
To cover any over-allotments in the Offering, the Company granted SEB an over-allotment of up to an additional 704,081 shares (corresponding to approximately 15 percent of the total number of shares in the Offering prior to any over-allotments) (the “Over-allotment option”).
Stabilisation transactions have been possible on First North, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at any time from the first day of trading in the shares on First North, i.e. 1 October 2021, and for no longer than 30 calendar days thereafter. SEB, however, was not required to undertake any stabilisation and there was no assurance that stabilisation would be undertaken. In total, SEB has purchased 554 shares for the purposes of stabilisation, corresponding to c. 0.1 percent of the Over-allotment Option in total.
As a consequence of SEB exercising the Over-allotment option, the board of directors of Albert has resolved to issue 703,527 shares at a price corresponding to the issue price in the Offering (SEK 49 per share). The exercise of the Over-allotment option means that a total of 5,397,405 newly issued shares have been sold in the Offering, corresponding to approximately 31 percent of the shares in Albert after the completion of the Offering. Albert will thereby be provided with additionally approximately SEK 34 million, which means that the Company has been provided with, approximately SEK 264 million in total as a result of the Offering, before transaction costs. After the shares in the Over-allotment option have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the total number of outstanding shares in Albert will amount to 17,579,655.
In connection with the Offering, SEB borrowed 704,081 existing shares in the Company from Schibsted ASA in order to ensure delivery of all over-allotted shares in the Offering. Due to the exercise of the Over-allotment option, all borrowed shares will be returned to Schibsted ASA.
SEB has, in its capacity as stabilisation manager, notified that stabilisation measures have been undertaken, in accordance with article 5(4) in the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014, on First North as specified below. The contact person at SEB is Alexandra Gluckmann (tel: +46 70 767 67 34).
