DWK Deutsche Wasserkraft: Transfer of Antares Hydropower Norway AS in return for a contribution in kind and a cash capital increase from authorised capital
Hamburg, 1 October 2024 – DWK Deutsche Wasserkraft AG (‘DWK’, ISIN: DE000A2AAB74) intends to resolve in the near future a capital increase against contributions in kind of up to EUR 350,000.00 by issuing up to 350,000 new shares from the authorised capital, excluding shareholders‘ subscription rights, to acquire Antares Hydropower Norway AS (capital increase against contribution in kind"). DWK Management Board members Jan Erik Schulien and Henning Rath are to be admitted to the subscription as all shareholders of Antares Hydropower Norway AS (‘Target Company’), based in Oslo, in return for the contribution of all shares in the Target Company. The Target Company is to be contributed to DWK as a contribution in kind based on an expected valuation in the mid-six-figure euro range. After finalisation of the valuation report, the specific details of the capital increase against contribution in kind are to be determined and resolved.
Furthermore, DWK's Management Board and Supervisory Board today decided to implement a capital increase against cash contributions by issuing new shares from the authorised capital while granting subscription rights (‘Offer’). The issue volume amounts to up to EUR 883,385.60. Up to 552,116 new shares will be issued at a subscription price of EUR 1.60 per share, each with a nominal value of EUR 1.00. This corresponds to a discount of approx. 40% on the closing price of DWK shares on the Hamburg Stock Exchange on the last trading day prior to the resolution. The subscription ratio is 4:1, i.e. four old shares entitle the holder to subscribe to one new share. The option of oversubscription is granted. The subscription offer is to be published in the coming weeks.
The proceeds from the cash capital increase are to be used for the further structural development of the company.
