The Board of Directors of Scan Energy A/S has set the offer price for the offered shares for Scan Energy´s initial public offering at EUR 8.00 per share and increased the amount of offered new shares to up to 19,700,000. The offering period has been extended and is now scheduled to end on Wednesday, 9 December 2009, at 6.00 p.m. CET for retail and institutional investors.
Scan Energy (Ticker: 8SE; Common Code: 046594398; ISIN: DK0060197226)
has decided in its initial public offering to increase the number of
offered shares to up to 22,655,000 shares at a fixed price of EUR
8.00 per share. This number of offered shares comprises up to
19,700,000 new shares from the capital increase and up to 2,955,000
existing shares from the holdings of some of the current major
shareholders for the purposes of an over-allotment ("greenshoe").
Under the new timeline, the trading of the shares of Scan Energy is
expected to commence on 11 December 2009. If all shares, including
the greenshoe shares but excluding any warrants issued to the
subscribers who participated in the September 2009 share capital
increase, were placed, the free float of the company (excluding any
free float from the current shareholders) would amount to 51.95
percent following the completion of the offering.The decision to adjust the terms of the offering has been taken in light of the current difficult market conditions for IPOs in Germany, not least in the wake of the Dubai crisis and Hochtief Concession´s abandonment of their planned IPO. Despite positive feedback during the roadshow meetings, these developments may have caused some investors to hesitate. However, Scan Energy is still of the opinion that the company´s growth strategy may offer new investors as well as present shareholders an opportunity to participate in the expected long-term growth of the renewable energy market and, thus, intends to continue with its planned IPO.
The total issue volume (if the greenshoe option is fully exercised but excluding any warrants that have been issued to the subscribers who participated in the September 2009 share capital increase) would amount to EUR 181 million. Of this total, Scan Energy will receive gross issue proceeds of EUR 158 million that would enable the company to pursue the growth opportunities at hand.
The terms and conditions for the offering of the company's shares are set out in a prospectus dated and published on 19 November 2009, in a supplement No. 1 dated and published 30 November 2009 and in a supplement No. 2 to be published immediately after approval. The prospectus and supplement No. 1 are, and, following its approval, the supplement No. 2 will be, available on the company's website (www.scan-energy.com), subject to certain restrictions, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's website (www.deutsche-boerse.com).
