("Aston Martin Lagonda", the "Company" or the "Group")
Proposed Conditional Capital Raise
Aston Martin Lagonda today announces its intention to conduct a capital raise to raise gross proceeds of approximately £125 million representing 13.7 per cent. of the Company's existing ordinary share capital (the "Capital Raise"). The Capital Raise will comprise a non-pre-emptive issue of 250,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of £0.009039687 each at a price of 50 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") to certain investors.
The Company has received irrevocable undertakings to subscribe for approximately £83.3 million of the Capital Raise at the Placing Price, comprising:
§ Permian Investment Partners, LP ("Permian") to irrevocably subscribe for £33.3 million
§ Zelon Holdings Inc. ("Zelon") to irrevocably subscribe for £30 million
§ Yew Tree Overseas Limited ("Yew Tree") to irrevocably subscribe for £20 million. As soon as possible following completion of the Placing and confirmation of the total Yew Tree participation, Yew Tree intends to transfer approximately 21.87 per cent. of such Placing Shares to other members of the consortium comprising Saint James Invest SA, J.C.B. Research, RRRR Investments LLC, FrancInvest Holding Corporation, John Idol, Omega Funds I Limited and ErsteAM Ltd
The remaining approximately 83 million new Ordinary Shares will be made available in the Placing to institutional investors via an accelerated bookbuild (the "Institutional Tranche"). Each of Permian, Yew Tree and Zelon have also agreed to subscribe for the Placing Shares which are the subject of the Institutional Tranche of the Placing proportionally to their irrevocable commitments to subscribe for Ordinary Shares in the Capital Raise to the extent that such Ordinary Shares are not placed with institutional investors thereunder.
The Placing will be conducted through an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuilding Process") which will be launched immediately following this announcement. The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1 to this announcement (which forms part of this Announcement, such announcement and its Appendices together being this "Announcement"). The Subscription Shares will be subscribed for at the Placing Price on the basis agreed with the Company, rather than pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing contained in Appendix 1 of this announcement.
The Capital Raise will require, and will be conditional upon, receipt of approval from the shareholders of the Company of certain resolutions to be proposed at a General Meeting expected to be held in early December 2020. In addition, admission of the Capital Raise Shares will also require the publication of an FCA-approved prospectus and the Capital Raise is, therefore, also conditional on such publication and admission. The Company expects to publish a combined prospectus a |
