7. Approval of transaction
The Board of Directors of Incap Corporation will propose to the Extraordinary General Meeting that it would resolve on its part to approve the herein described conditional transaction between the company and Inission AB, in which the uniting of Incap and Inission will be carried out by Incap Corporation acquiring Inission AB's subsidiaries' shares and business operations.
As published on 22 July 2013, the comprehensive arrangement agreed between Inission AB and Incap Corporation on 21 July 2013 includes an option for Inission AB to combine and unite Inission AB's business operations with Incap Corporation. Inission AB has right but no obligation to use the option. The use of the option shall be, however, notified by Inission AB by the end of the year 2013. In addition to notification on the use of the option and an approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting, the consummation of the transaction is conditional to the granting of the exemption by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority regarding an obligation to bid and to the approval from Inission AB's financial partners.
The purchase price of Inission AB's subsidiaries' shares and business operations is SEK 70.1 million. The purchase price has been determined based on the actual result of Inission AB for the years 2011 and 2012 and for January-June 2013. In connection with the evaluation of the value of Inission AB's subsidiaries' shares and business operations the Board of Directors of Incap Corporation has requested and received an opinion from an independent Swedish firm, Hjalmarsson & Partners Corporate Finance AB, specialised in corporate finance and value related financial assignments. Pursuant to Hjalmarsson & Partners Corporate Finance AB's opinion, the purchase price for Inission AB's subsidiaries' shares and business operations may be considered to be fair from Incap Corporation's point of view.
If the transaction is consummated in accordance with the agreement conditions, Incap Corporation will pay the purchase price by directing a new share issue to Inission AB in two phases.
In the first phase Inission AB shall be entitled to subscribe for new shares issued by Incap Corporation corresponding to 70% of the purchase price calculated for business operations and the shares in the subsidiaries of Inission AB. The issue price of the payment shares will be the volume-weighted average closing market price in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki for the two weeks' period ending one day prior to the date when Inission AB gives to Incap Corporation the notice on the use of the option, however a minimum of 0.07 euro and a maximum of 0.135 euro per share. The number of payment shares to be subscribed by Inission AB shall be determined by dividing the relevant part of the purchase price with the issue price of the payment shares.
Inission AB undertakes for a period ending eight months after the first date of listing of the payment shares in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki issued to Inission AB in the above-mentioned first phase, without the consent of Incap Corporation, not to offer, sell, short sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or convey directly or indirectly any of shares in Incap Corporation or any options or warrants entitling to such shares, with exception for a possible intervention by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, except to the extent reasonably required in order to be able to pay indemnities in relation to the transaction.
In the second phase, two weeks after the publication of Incap Corporation's annual accounts 2013, Incap Corporation pays the rest of the transaction by issuing new shares of Incap Corporation corresponding to 30% of the purchase price calculated for the Inission AB's business operations and the shares in the subsidiaries. The issue price of the shares used for the payment of the remaining 30% of the purchase price will be the volume-weighted average closing market price in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki for the two weeks' period starting on the next day after the release of the annual accounts of Incap Corporation, however a minimum of 0.07 euro per share and a maximum of 0.20 euro per share. The number of payment shares to be subscribed by Inission AB shall be determined by dividing the relevant part of the purchase price with the issue price of the shares.
If Inission AB uses its option and the transaction is carried out in full, Inission AB will own at least ca. 83,633,115 and at a maximum of ca. 146,315,126 Incap Corporation's issued and outstanding shares and voting rights (estimation is based on EUR/SEK exchange rate of 8.5). After the completion of the transaction Inission AB will own at least 51% but not more than about 64% of Incap Corporation's issued and outstanding shares and voting rights.
As a consequence of the transaction, the relative proportion of Incap Corporation's shareholders' holdings of shares will decrease. Based on the figures presented above the shares issued and subscribed represent approximately at least 51% and a maximum of 108% of all shares and votes in the company prior to the transaction and after the transaction approximately at least 34% and a maximum of 52% of all shares and votes. Inission AB's final ownership is determined by Incap Corporation's share price when the option is used, and the last part (30%) of the purchase price is calculated in February 2014. The share of ownership is partly dependent also on the development of EUR/SEK exchange rate.
According to the estimates of the two companies, post-merger Incap-Inission will be able to achieve annual revenue in excess of EUR 100 million while earning a profit within the next two years.
