Enersense International Plc | Inside Information | November 17, 2025 at 09:15:00 EET
Enersense International Plc (“Enersense” or the “Company”) announces a consent solicitation in respect of its outstanding EUR 26,000,000 senior unsecured fixed rate 7.00% convertible notes due 2027 (ISIN FI4000541826) (the “Notes”) to solicit consents to amend the terms and conditions of the Notes (the “Proposal”) in relation to a contemplated amendment of the Notes into a subordinated hybrid convertible bond in order to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, prolong its maturity profile and support the refinancing of the Company’s other debt financing facilities.
Pursuant to the Proposal, the Notes would initially bear a fixed coupon, payable semi-annually in arrears. The coupon would be 7.0% per annum until January 15, 2026 and, thereafter, 8.0% per annum until January 15, 2029. From January 15, 2029 onwards, interest on the Notes would be determined by reference to the 3-month Euribor plus a margin of 10.708% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The contemplated amendment of the terms and conditions of the Notes also includes the change in the initial conversion price from the current EUR 8.00 to EUR 7.00, representing a premium of approximately 57.9% to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of Enersense’s shares on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on each of the 10 trading days prior to the launch of the consent solicitation, representing EUR 4.4329. Based on the proposed initial conversion price, the conversion of all the Notes would result in the issue of a maximum of 3,714,285 new shares in the Company, representing in total approximately 22.5% of the current total amount of shares in the Company (approximately 18.4% on a fully diluted basis).
Enersense commences a consent solicitation process and convenes a meeting of noteholders to be held at 9:00 a.m. (EET) on December 4, 2025 at the offices of Nordea Bank Abp at the address Aleksis Kiven katu 5, FI-00500 Helsinki, Finland (the “Meeting”) to resolve on the Proposal. The notice of the Meeting (the “Notice”) is attached hereto. Nordea Bank Abp is acting as the Lead Solicitation Agent, Danske Bank A/S as the Solicitation Agent and Nordic Trustee Oy as the Tabulation Agent in the consent solicitation process.
Certain existing holders of the Notes, representing in aggregate approximately 80 per cent of the nominal amount of the Notes, are expected to support the Proposal.
In addition, subject to the passing of the Proposal, Enersense may consider the issuance of additional convertible capital notes in the aggregate nominal amount of up to EUR 4,000,000. The additional convertible capital notes would be issued to selected professional investors as a tap issuance under the amended terms and conditions of the Notes. The net proceeds of the potential issuance of additional convertible capital notes would be used for general corporate purposes.
New Financing Arrangements
In connection with the planned amendments to the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Company has received credit commitments for new senior secured financing comprising of a EUR 16 million term loan and EUR 8 million revolving credit facility, both maturing in 2028. The new financing arrangements and the planned amendments to the terms and conditions of the existing Notes will extend the maturity profile of the Company’s financing. The proceeds from the new financing arrangements will be utilised to refinance the Company’s existing borrowings and repay the existing payment arrangement with the tax administration. The validity of the new credit commitments for the new financing arrangements is contingent on the passing of the Proposal.
Consent Solicitation
In the consent solicitation process, Enersense will offer instruction fee to noteholders who submit a valid voting instruction in favour of or against the Proposal prior to 4:00 p.m. (EET) on November 26, 2025 (the “Instruction Fee Deadline”). Such noteholders are eligible to receive a fee of 0.20 per cent of the principal amount of the Notes which are subject of the voting instructions (the “Instruction Fee”).
A noteholder who (i) submits voting instructions received after the Instruction Fee Deadline, (ii) votes at the Meeting in person or by proxy or (iii) does not follow the procedure for submitting voting instructions set out in the consent solicitation memorandum will not be eligible to receive the Instruction Fee. No Instruction Fee shall be paid to such noteholders who do not vote prior to the Instruction Fee Deadline.
Payment of the Instruction Fee is subject to the resolution approving the Proposal being duly passed by the Meeting and having become effective in full in accordance with its terms. The Instruction Fee shall be paid to eligible noteholders’ bank accounts as provided in the voting instructions no later than ten (10) business days after the Meeting wherein the resolution approving the Proposal is passed.
