Enedo signs a shareholder bridge loan agreement totaling 1.95 MEUR and plans to arrange an EGM to decide on a share issue
As released in the Q1 Business review the inventory levels have been increasing because of the global component shortage and the strong customer order intake and the cash position has thereby remained constrained. Enedo is executing actions to decrease the level of inventories and thereby release the cash from inventories and working capital.
Enedo has signed a shareholder bridge loan agreement in the amount of Eur 1 950 000 including a convertible component in the total amount of EUR 650 000 to the Lenders. The due date of the loan is 30th of September 2022 and the conversion right of Eur 0,10 per share can only be used if the loan is not repaid at due date.
The shareholders granting the bridge loan are the three biggest shareholders Inission AB, Joensuun Kauppa ja Kone Oy and Rausanne Oy. The loan will be mainly used for working capital purposes and overdue payables to secure the continuation of the company’s operations.
Enedo has also started planning to organize an extraordinary shareholder’s meeting to arrange a share issue to further increase the liquidity and the equity of the company. The rights offering will be used to pay back the bridge loan and to strengthen the equity and cash of the company.
Enedo signed a new loan of EUR 5,0 million at the end of December 2021 and the loan was fully raised by the end of March 2022. The EUR 5,0 million loan arrangement has a maturity date of 30th September 2022. The company aims to either agree to prolong the maturity date, negotiate a new loan with another financing institution or to raise sufficient equity financing to repay parts of the loan. The company is currently evaluating the alternatives.
