Les Agences de Papa Les Agences de Papa announces its consolidated results for 2022 and the securing of its 12-month working capital requirement
Consolidated results for the year ending 31 December 2022
LES AGENCES DE PAPA SA, listed on Euronext access + (MLPAP), announces that for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 it generated sales of €3,142,253 and consolidated sales for the Group of €625,150 (including management fees), with a loss of €9,466,400.
Consolidated sales increased between the year ended 31 December 2021 (€301k) and the year ended 31 December 2022 (€625k).
At the same time, the Group has significantly reduced its external expenses, with total purchases and external charges falling from €8,147k at 31 December 2021 to €4,949k at 31 December 2022. Losses have also fallen sharply (by more than €3.5m, or almost 30%).
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 31 May 2023 and certified by the Company's statutory auditors (the full annual financial report can be viewed on the Company's website).
Setting up financing
LES AGENCES DE PAPA (the "Company") announces that it has arranged financing to cover its working capital requirements for the next 12 months.
This financing consists of a €4m convertible bond issue with financial partner Capital Système Investissements, an €8.4m capital increase (mainly by offsetting receivables against current account receivables held by historical shareholders) and an issue of stock warrants enabling an additional €6.7m to be raised if exercised in full.
The issues were recorded by the company's Board of Directors on 31 May 2023, acting on the authority delegated by the 8th resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders of 9 September 2022.
Frédéric Ibanez commented: "This fundraising was carried out with the founders and historic investors, in particular Capital Système Investissements, with the aim of holding the shares for the long term. The positive impact of this operation on the company's equity and cash flow means that we can now look forward to Versity's very promising future with a great deal of serenity".
Issue of convertible bonds
Versity has raised €4 million through a convertible bond issue fully subscribed by Capital Système Investissements.
These bonds, redeemable on 30 May 2025, bear interest at an annual rate of 12% and, if fully converted, will entitle their holders to subscribe to shares in the company at a unit price of €0.25, representing a 50% discount to the last quoted price. Conversion of all these bonds would therefore result in a capital increase of a nominal value of €1,072,000.
Gilles-Emmanuel Trutat, Chairman of Capital Système Investissement, commented: "As a long-standing investor, I am delighted with this new funding, which will enable the company to secure financing for its projects in the metaverse.”
Capital increase
The €8.4m capital increase, the purpose of which is to strengthen the Company's shareholders' equity, is being carried out mainly by offsetting receivables against capital by incorporating current accounts, in particular those of the Company's two longstanding shareholders, GFI & Partners (€5m) and LES PAPAS INVEST (€2.1m), and by cash contributions.
The unit subscription price for this capital increase is €0.25, representing a 50% discount to the last quoted price.
Issue of stock warrants
The Company has also issued 26,620,000 stock warrants to investors in the category defined by the 8th resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 9 September 2022. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe, no later than 31/12/2024, to one share in the Company at a unit price of €0.25, representing a 50% discount to the last quoted price. Exercise of all these warrants would therefore result in a capital increase with a total value, including issue premium, of €6.7m.
The warrants have been allocated to the main shareholders who helped provide the company with the cash it needed in the first half of the year and who have agreed to convert their receivables into shares in the company.
