The board of directors of BoMill AB (”BoMill” or the ”Company”) proposes a share issue with preferential rights for the shareholders to be resolved at the annual general meeting on 12 April 2024 (the “Rights Issue”). The Rights Issue provides the Company with a maximum amount of approximately SEK 16.8 million before transaction costs. Every holding of ten (10) existing shares entitles the right to subscribe for three (3) new shares at a subscription price of SEK 0.60 per share. The subscription period is proposed to be 25 April – 14 May 2024 with trading in the subscription rights during 25 April – 8 May 2024. The maximum dilution of shares and votes is approximately 23%.

The subscription of the Rights Issue is secured corresponding to 100 percent of the maximum amount of the Rights Issue by undertakings the Company has received according to below. The undertakings have been made without any compensation.

Convening notice for the annual general meeting that resolves on the Rights Issue will be published in a separate press release on 12 March 2024.

Background and reason

The net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used to take the next step of scaling up the commercialization of BoMill’s new generation of grain sorting equipment, BoMill InSight™, and support the continuous operations of the company.

Following the field-testing phase, BoMill InSight™ was launched in early 2023, and up until today, the Company has received six orders of a total amount of approximately SEK 14.6 million from five customers, and five BoMill InSights are installed at the customers’ sites. The intention is to exploit further the European market as well as the markets in North and South America. In collaboration with local partners, BoMill’s commercial activities in these markets will intensify during 2024.

“With the proposed share issue, we can continue our commercialization of BoMill InSight™. The capitalization will strengthen the company's financial position in the short run and boost our sales and marketing activities, supporting our efforts in the North and South American markets. I am very pleased with the confidence investors show by committing to our rights issue and that they have acknowledged our sustainable and unique offer for grain sorting", says Andreas Jeppsson CEO, BoMill AB.
