NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS COMMUNICATION
With reference to the authorization given by the AGM of Treasure ASA (“the Company”) on 13 March 2019 for the company to acquire up to 10% of outstanding shares in the Company valid until the AGM in 2020, the Company hereby launch an offer to all shareholders in the Company to buy back up to 1.000.000 shares in Treasure ASA. The Company is at the release of the offer not in possession of material non-public information neither regarding the Company itself nor the main asset on the Company’s balance sheet.
The offer will be carried out by means of a book building process with a bid price of up to NOK 13,50 per share. The Company is of the opinion that the bid price is warranted by the relative large size of the shares in the offering compared to average traded daily volume, current market conditions, the overall low liquidity in the shares and the current discount to the underlying value of the Company’s main asset.
The book building starts on 2 May 2019 08:00 and ends on 3 May 2019 at 16:30. The Company has mandated SEB as sole bookrunner and shareholders wanting to sell shares can contact SEB at +47 22 82 72 49.
The Company will – in the event of receiving acceptances above 1.000.000 shares – allocate shares with the equal treatment of the shareholders as the primary objective.
Pricing and allocation will follow before 18:00 on 3 May, the trade date will be 3 May with settlement date 7 May.
For further information, please contact: Morten Lertrø, CFO at +47 90 41 99 44.
