Amoéba Capital increase to support its industrial and commercial rollout

We updated our model (new € 1.5 Target Price, Buy) after Amoéba announced the closure of its capital increase to support its industrial and commercial rollout. Amoeba has therefore raised a gross amount of €14m, including €9m in cash contributed by institutional and individual investors, and €5m by offsetting receivables bringing the number of shares to 68.9m.

Amoéba indicated they now have sufficient financial resources to support its industrial and commercial growth and create value for its shareholders based on its expertise.
Total demand amounted to €14.5m, with 89% coming from institutional investors (including the guarantors of the transaction) and 11% from individual investors.
Nice & Green has subscribed for €8m, including €3m in cash and €5m in debt offset, and Koppert has subscribed for €0.8m.

The price per new share was €0.8105, corresponding to a discount of 20% compared to the last five trading days VWAP.

After the transaction Nice & Green holds 26.49%, management 3.02%, Koppert 1.43% and the Free float is 69.06%.

Amoéba announced, just before this transaction, the signing of an agreement with Metron Technology, a subsidiary of the Chinese group Oriental Beauty Valley (OBV group). Through this deal Amoéba accelerates the development of its cosmetic business.
