Hexicon-TwinHub with partners kick off the FIRSTÂź LEGOÂź League teams in the Celtic Sea region

Can you build a floating wind farm in Lego? Sure you can! Over 200 children will be competing in this year's First Lego League challenge thanks to support from the Celtic Sea Floating Offshore Wind industry. Hexicon together with Blue Float Energy, Celtic Sea Power, RWE and Ocean Winds and many others are dedicated to spark interest for engineering, technology and science with the initiative. The competition is set to kick off in January 2023.

20 teams, across Cornwall, Wales and the South-West, have been set up with "Spike" kits for the 2023 Super Charged Challenge which combines Lego with coding, robotics and teamwork  to build a project. Local teachers, volunteers and STEM-coordinators will mentor the teams ahead of regional finals in March 2023. The theme of this year’s challenge is focused on renewable energy with the challenge of building a floating wind farm in Lego. The initiative stems from a desire to get more young people to discover and get involved in engineering-related subjects that include innovation, science, and technology.

Twin Hub are building the first floating offshore wind farm in England & Wales, and a first in the Celtic Sea, about 20 miles off shore from St Ives. Through sponsoring a Lego First team there was a strong opportunity to bring some of the excitement of the offshore renewable industry into the classroom. Engaging children in the energy sector at an early age will be key to helping build capacity in the industry in the future. Teamwork is at the center of the competition and encourages participants to demonstrate originality, creativity and evaluate potential impacts and value of their projects. All of these skills are hugely beneficial for future careers in the renewable energy sector.

The floating offshore wind companies taking part in the initiative are; Hexicon-TwinHub, Blue Float Energy, Celtic Sea Power, Cierco Energy, FLOVENTIS, Falck Renewables SpA, Flotation Energy Ltd, Hiraeth Energy, Morwind Ltd, RWE, Seiche and  Ocean Winds. With the support from; Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Cognition Creative Learning CIC and the LEGO Group.

Vestas is selected as preferred supplier for the 1.3 GW MunmuBaram project

Vestas has been selected as the preferred turbine supplier for the MunmuBaram project. The agreement includes the supply of turbines as well as a 20-year service and maintenance agreement.

The MunmuBaram project, a joint venture between Hexicon (20%) and Shell (80%), is a 1.3 GW floating offshore wind project located off the south-east coast of South Korea. It is the most mature large-scale project within Hexicon’s portfolio, with the potential to become one of the largest floating wind farms in the world.

As a step in the development of the windfarm, the project has entered into an agreement with Vestas, a global leader in wind energy solutions, with state-of-the-art turbine technology. The agreement includes supply and installation of 84 units of the V236-15.0 MW turbine as well as a 20-year service and maintenance agreement for the wind farm once the units are installed. The latter will be achieved through the establishment of a local service organization.

“Having the potential to become one of the world’s largest and leading floating wind farms was the very reason for increasing our ownership stake earlier this year. We are very proud to announce Vestas as our turbine supplier, which marks a milestone in the project and brings it closer to commercialization. This highlights our ability to build value in our portfolio projects, by advancing them to more mature stages and higher valuations,” said Marcus Thor, CEO at Hexicon.

“We are honoured to have been selected as preferred supplier for the MunmuBaram floating offshore wind project and the trust that the customers placed in Vestas. We are excited to engage in this innovative project that spearheads the global offshore wind industry and underlines our ambition to partner with customers and suppliers to make floating offshore wind energy profitable, scalable, and serviceable. Vestas continues its ambition to be a leader in offshore wind and we remain committed to contribute to South Korea’s clean energy target, in close partnership with our customers,” says Purvin Patel, President of Vestas Asia Pacific. 

Vestas levererar turbinerna till Hexicons gigantiska havsvindprojekt MunmuBaram

Det blir Vestas som levererar turbinerna till MunmuBaram-projektet lÀngs Sydkoreas sydöstra kust, ett samriskprojekt mellan Hexicon och Shell som vÀntas omfatta havsvind motsvarande 1,300 MW.

EfterfrÄgan pÄ havsbaserad vindkraft exploderar just nu över hela vÀrlden. Innovativa lösningar med flytande fundament gör att vindkraft kan anvÀndas pÄ fler platser, inte minst i Asien och omrÄdet kring Stilla havet dÀr vÀderförhÄllanden och geografiska förutsÀttningar inte lÀmpar sig för konventionella bottenfasta fundament. MunmuBaram-projektet planeras bli en av vÀrldens största flytande vindkraftparker och har en nyckelroll i kommersialiseringen av flytande vindkraft pÄ global nivÄ. 
 
Nu stĂ„r det klart att Vestas vĂ€ljs som prioriterad leverantör av turbiner för projektet. Vestas ska leverera och installera 84 turbiner, med förbehĂ„ll för ytterligare projektutveckling, av typen V236-15.0 MW. Turbinerna kommer att placeras inom projektomrĂ„det pĂ„ cirka 240 kmÂČ med vattendjup pĂ„ mellan 120 och 150 meter. Detta Ă€r Vestas första tillkĂ€nnagivna storskaliga flytande havsvindprojekt och det första tillkĂ€nnagivna projektet med V236-15,0 MW för installation pĂ„ flytande fundament. Tidigare har Vestas installerat havsbaserade turbiner motsvarande 8 GW.
 
”Vestas Ă€r en av vĂ€rldens frĂ€msta turbinleverantörer och vi Ă€r mycket glada att vi nu kan fortsĂ€tta utveckla projektet i ett starkt partnerskap med en teknikleverantör i framkant. Det hĂ€r tar projektet vidare mot kommersialisering och belyser samtidigt vĂ„r förmĂ„ga att bygga signifikant vĂ€rde i projektportföljen”, sĂ€ger Marcus Thor, vd pĂ„ Hexicon 
 
"Det hÀr innovativa projektet gÄr i brÀschen för den globala havsbaserade vindkraftsindustrin och vi Àr glada att vara en del av det. Det understryker dessutom vÄr ambition att samarbeta med kunder och leverantörer för att göra flytande havsbaserad vindkraft lönsam och skalbar. Vestas ambition Àr att vara ledande inom havsbaserad vindkraft och vi, tillsammans med vÄra kunder, Àr engagerade i att bidra till Sydkoreas mÄl för förnybar energi," sÀger Purvin Patel, vd för Vestas Asia Pacific. 
 
Om MunmuBaram-projektet  
Sedan projektstarten 2019 har förberedande arbeten genomförts för att undersöka förutsÀttningarna, som exempelvis vindmÀtningar. I september 2021 blev projektet det första flytande havsvindprojektet i Sydkorea att framgÄngsrikt slutföra de geotekniska och geofysiska undersökningar som krÀvs. Just nu genomförs arbeten med miljökonsekvensbeskrivning (MKB), marintrafikanalys, kulturarvsanalys och andra undersökningar. I takt med löpande investeringsbeslut utvecklas projektet i olika faser, och fullt utbyggt förvÀntas projektet generera motsvarande 4,2 terawattimmar (TWh) förnybar el varje Är.

PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS
Item 1. Opening of the meeting and election of chairman of the meeting

The board of directors proposes that attorney Marcus Nivinger is elected chairman of the meeting.

Item 6. Resolution on approval of the board of directors’ resolution on a new issue of convertible bonds of series 2022:2

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ resolution of 28 November 2022 to issue a convertible loan at a par value of not more than SEK 1,500,000 directed to Hans von Uthmann and Gulfstream Investment Group LCC (Bjarne Borg). The convertible holder can choose to have the loan repaid in cash at maturity or convert the loan into shares of the Company on 9 November 2023. Each convertible carries a par value of SEK 100,000.

The following terms and conditions shall apply to the issue of convertibles.

  1. The convertibles shall be issued and subscribed for at a price equal to 100 per cent of their principal amount.
  2. The right to subscribe for the convertibles shall with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights belong to Hans von Uthmann och Gulfstream Investment Group LCC.
  3. Before maturity the Company may repay the loan plus a premium of two (2.00) per cent of the nominal convertible loan amount. In addition, accrued interest shall be paid. The Company may carry out such early repayment each ninetieth day after 28 November 2022 (T), being the nearest banking day after T+90, T+180 and T+270. The notice period for such early repayment is 30 calendar days. In this event, the convertible holder has the right to choose shares in the Company instead of cash. Upon choosing shares, the convertible holder shall inform the Company of such choice not later than 10 banking days before the date of the early repayment.
  4. The convertible loan carries an annual interest rate of twelve (12.00) per cent from 28 November 2022 up until and including 23 November 2023, when it becomes due for payment and when the aggregate nominal amount for the outstanding convertibles shall be repaid in full to the extent that conversion or early repayment has not yet taken place. Interest shall be paid in connection with repayment of the loan on the due date or in connection with early repayment, whichever occurs earliest. Upon conversion, no interest is paid. To compensate for the fact that no interest is paid upon conversion, the conversion price shall be calculated in accordance with item 8 below.
  5. The convertible holder can choose to have the loan repaid in cash at maturity or convert the loan into shares in the Company on 9 November 2023. The convertible holder shall at the latest 14 calendar days before maturity inform the Company whether it want to have the loan repaid in cash or convert the loan into shares. Should the total loan amount be repaid in part at maturity, the repayment is to be distributed between the convertible holders on a pro-rata basis of the convertible holders’ respective total nominal amount of convertibles held.
  6. Subscription for the convertibles shall be made on a separate subscription list on 28 November 2022. Payment for the subscribed convertibles shall be made in cash no later than on 1 December 2022. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time of payment.
  7. Convertible holders are entitled to convert at 9 November 2023 all or part of the outstanding loan amount into new shares of the Company.
  8. The initial conversion price shall be calculated in accordance with the calculations below, provided that the conversion price shall be at least SEK 1.00 and not more than SEK 2.50. “VWAP” means the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market during 30 trading days preceding conversion. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased on account of the conversion of the convertibles shall amount to not more than SEK 16,800.

Conversion price
Period 1 (T+90): 100/(((1.12^(90/360)+0.02) x 100)/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 1
 
Period 2 (T+180): 100/(((1.12^(180/360)+0.02) x 100)/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 2
 
Period 3 (T+270): 100/(((1.12^(270/360)+0.02) x 100)/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 3
 
Period 4 (T+360 (due date)): 100/(112/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 4

  1. The terms and conditions for the convertibles include customary adjustment conditions in respect of the conversion price on the occurrence of certain corporate events (e.g. dividends, bonus issues and share issues).
  2. New shares issued upon conversion of the convertibles shall convey right to dividends for the first time on the first record date set for dividends after the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
  3. Any premium at conversion that exceeds the share's quotient value shall be allocated to the Company's unrestricted share premium reserve.
  4. The complete terms and conditions for the convertibles will be available on the Company’s website www.hexicon.dev8.qte.nu.

The purpose of the new issue and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Company has a strong need for additional working capital and due to the extended time period required to carry out a rights issue and the current market sentiment, it is the board's assessment that an issue with deviation from the shareholder's preferential rights is in the Company's and all shareholder's interest and therefore also justifies deviation from the main rule that new issues shall be carried out with preferential rights for the shareholders. The board of directors’ assessment is that the terms and conditions of the issue is in accordance with market conditions, since they have been determined through a negotiation at arm's length between the Company and the investors. During the negotiations a comparison was made with terms and conditions in other issues of convertibles. Further, the board of directors has taken into account general market conditions that make it difficult to raise capital, whereby the terms and conditions in an overall assessment are deemed to be in accordance with market conditions.

The CEO of the Company shall be authorized to make such minor formal adjustments to the issue resolution, which may be required for registration of such convertibles with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

Particular majority requirements
The proposal under item 6 is subject to the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)), and a valid resolution hence requires the support of shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast and of the shares represented at the meeting.

Number of shares and votes in the company
The total number of shares and votes in the Company at the time of issuance of this notice is 363,802,686. The Company does not hold any of its own shares.

Shareholders’ right to request information
Pursuant to chapter 7, section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act the board of directors and the CEO are under a duty to, if any shareholder so requests and the board of directors believe that it can be done without material damage to the Company, provide information at the meeting regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda. Such duty to provide information also comprises the Company’s relation to the other group companies, the consolidated financial statements and such circumstances regarding subsidiaries which are set out in the foregoing sentence.

FÖRSLAG TILL BESLUT
Punkt 1. Öppnande av stĂ€mman och val av ordförande för stĂ€mman

Styrelsen föreslÄr att advokat Marcus Nivinger vÀljs till ordförande vid stÀmman.

Punkt 6. Beslut om godkÀnnande av styrelsens beslut om nyemission av konvertibler av serie 2022:2

Konvertibelinnehavaren kan vÀlja att fÄ lÄnet Äterbetalat kontant pÄ förfallodagen eller konverterat till aktier i Bolaget den 9 november 2023. Varje konvertibel ska ha ett nominellt belopp om 100 000 kronor.

För emissionen av konvertibler ska i övrigt följande villkor gÀlla.

  1. Konvertiblerna ska emitteras och tecknas till en kurs motsvarande 100 procent av konvertiblernas nominella belopp.
  2. RÀtt att teckna konvertiblerna ska med avvikelse frÄn aktieÀgarnas företrÀdesrÀtt tillkomma Hans von Uthmann och Gulfstream Investment Group LCC.
  3. Före förfallodagen kan Bolaget Äterbetala lÄnet plus en premie om tvÄ (2,00) procent av det nominella konvertibla lÄnebeloppet. DÀrtill tillkommer upplupen rÀnta. Bolaget kan genomföra sÄdan förtida Äterbetalning var nittionde dag efter den 28 november 2022 (T), innebÀrandes den nÀrmsta bankdagen efter T+90, T+180 och T+270. UppsÀgningstiden för en sÄdan förtida Äterbetalning Àr 30 kalenderdagar. Konvertibelinnehavaren har i dessa fall rÀtt att vÀlja aktier i Bolaget i stÀllet för kontanter. Vid valet av aktier ska meddelande om detta göras till Bolaget senast 10 bankdagar före datumet för förtida Äterbetalning.
  4.

Om det totala lÄnebeloppet Äterbetalas delvis pÄ förfallodagen ska Äterbetalningen fördelas mellan konvertibelinnehavarna i proportion till konvertibelinnehavarnas respektive totala nominella belopp av innehavda konvertibler.
  6. Teckning av konvertiblerna ska ske pÄ en sÀrskild teckningslista den 28 november 2022. Betalning av de tecknade konvertiblerna ska erlÀggas kontant senast den 1 december 2022. Styrelsen ska Àga rÀtt att förlÀnga teckningstiden och tiden för betalning.
  7. Konvertibelinnehavare Àger rÀtt att den 9 november 2023 utbyta hela eller delar av det utestÄende lÄnebeloppet mot nya aktier i Bolaget.
  8. Den initiala konverteringskursen berĂ€knas enligt nedan formel, dock ska sĂ„dan konverteringskurs vara lĂ€gst 1,00 kronor och högst 2,50 kronor.

Konverteringskurs:
Period 1 (T+90):  100/(((1,12^(90/360)+0,02) x 100)/75 procent av VWAP) =
Konverteringskurs, period 1
 
Period 2 (T+180): 100/(((1,12^(180/360)+0,02) x 100)/75 procent av VWAP) =
Konverteringskurs, period 2
 
Period 3 (T+270): 100/(((1,12^(270/360)+0,02) x 100)/75 procent av VWAP) =
Konverteringskurs, period 3
 
Period 4 (T+360 (förfallodagen)): 100/(112/75 procent av VWAP) =
Konverteringskurs, period 4

  1. Villkoren för konvertiblerna innehÄller sedvanliga omrÀkningsregler för konverteringskursen vid förekomsten av vissa bolagshÀndelser (t.ex. utdelning, fondemission och nyemission).
  2. Nya aktier som tillkommit pÄ grund av konvertering ger rÀtt till utdelning frÄn och med den första avstÀmningsdagen avseende utdelning som intrÀffar efter registreringen av de nya aktierna hos Bolagsverket.
  3. Eventuell överkurs vid konverteringen ska fördelas till Bolagets fria överkursfond.
  4. De fullstÀndiga villkoren för konvertiblerna kommer att hÄllas tillgÀngliga pÄ Bolagets hemsida www.hexicon.dev8.qte.nu.

Syftet med emissionen och skÀlet till avvikelsen frÄn aktieÀgarnas företrÀdesrÀtt Àr att Bolaget har ett starkt behov av ytterligare rörelsekapital och pÄ grund av den tidsutdrÀkt som en företrÀdesemission innebÀr samt det rÄdande marknadssentimentet Àr det styrelsens bedömning att en emission med avvikelse frÄn aktieÀgarnas företrÀdesrÀtt ligger i Bolagets och samtliga aktieÀgares intresse och dÀrför ocksÄ motiverar avvikelse frÄn huvudregeln att nyemissioner ska genomföras med företrÀdesrÀtt för aktieÀgarna. Styrelsens bedömning Àr att villkoren i emissionen Àr marknadsmÀssiga eftersom de har bestÀmts genom en förhandling pÄ armlÀngds avstÄnd mellan Bolaget och investerarna. Vid förhandlingen har jÀmförelse gjorts med villkor i andra riktade konvertibelemissioner. Vidare har styrelsen beaktat det allmÀnna marknadslÀget som gör det sÀrskilt svÄrt att resa kapital varvid villkoren vid en helhetsbedömning bedöms vara marknadsmÀssiga.

Bolagets verkstÀllande direktör ska vara bemyndigad att vidta de smÀrre formella justeringar av emissionsbeslutet som kan visa sig erforderliga i samband med registrering av konvertiblerna hos Bolagsverket eller Euroclear Sweden AB.

SĂ€rskild beslutsmajoritet
Förslaget under punkt 6 omfattas av bestÀmmelserna i 16 kap. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551), varför beslutet Àr giltigt endast om det bitrÀds av aktieÀgare med minst nio tiondelar av sÄvÀl de avgivna rösterna som de aktier som Àr företrÀdda pÄ stÀmman.

Antal aktier och röster i bolaget
Vid tidpunkten för utfÀrdandet av denna kallelse finns totalt 363 802 686 utestÄende aktier och röster i Bolaget. Bolaget innehar inga egna aktier.

VÄNLIGEN SE VIKTIG INFORMATION I SLUTET AV PRESSMEDDELANDET. Styrelsen i Hexicon AB (“Hexicon” eller “Bolaget”) har, med stöd av det fullstĂ€ndiga bemyndigande frĂ„n Ă„rsstĂ€mman den 12 maj 2022, beslutat att uppta ett konvertibellĂ„n om 81 miljoner kronor frĂ„n existerande aktieĂ€gare och nya investerare, dĂ€ribland Wallenius Marine AB och Martin BjĂ€ringer. DĂ€rutöver har styrelsen, under förutsĂ€ttning av bolagsstĂ€mmans efterföljande godkĂ€nnande med anledning av att de teckningsberĂ€ttigade omfattas av 16 kap. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551), beslutat att uppta ett konvertibellĂ„n om 1,5 miljoner kronor frĂ„n Bolagets aktieĂ€gare och styrelsemedlemmar Bjarne Borg (genom Gulfstream Investment Group LCC) och Hans von Uthmann. Kallelse till en extra bolagsstĂ€mma offentliggörs genom separat pressmeddelande. KonvertibellĂ„nen om 81 miljoner kronor respektive 1,5 miljoner kronor benĂ€mns gemensamt ”KonvertibellĂ„nen”. KonvertibellĂ„nen kommer att tillgodose Bolagets finansieringsbehov för de kommande Ă„tta mĂ„naderna, vilket möjliggör planerad avyttring av utvalda projekt.

“Hexicon har precis genomfört sitt mest investeringstunga kvartal nĂ„gonsin, vilket resulterat i en strategisk portfölj enligt plan, med avsikten att gĂ„ in i en avyttringsfas under 2023. Vi har beslutat att accelerera avyttringen av utvalda projekt i syfte att möjliggöra nya investeringar. KonvertibellĂ„nen innebĂ€r att viktiga milstolpar i pĂ„gĂ„ende projekt kan uppnĂ„s innan projektrĂ€ttigheterna sĂ€ljs av. Jag Ă€r nöjd med strukturen pĂ„ konvertibellĂ„nen, som gör att vi kan nĂ„ nĂ€sta fas med betydande intĂ€kter frĂ„n projektavyttringar, med begrĂ€nsad utspĂ€dning för aktieĂ€garna vid konvertering”, sĂ€ger Marcus Thor, VD pĂ„ Hexicon.

KonvertibellÄnens villkor
Det totala nominella vÀrdet av KonvertibellÄnen uppgÄr till 82,5 miljoner kronor. KonvertibellÄnen löper under 360 kalenderdagar frÄn datumet för emissionsbesluten, det vill sÀga till och med den 23 november 2023. RÀntan uppgÄr till tolv (12,00) procent per Är, som kapitaliseras till och med förfallodatumet eller vid förtida Äterbetalning av KonvertibellÄnen.

Återbetalning av KonvertibellĂ„nen
För varje 90-dagarsperiod efter upptagandet av KonvertibellÄnen kan Hexicon vÀlja att Äterbetala KonvertibellÄnen plus en premie pÄ 2,00 procent av det nominella beloppet inklusive upplupen rÀnta före förfall. Notifiering för sÄdan förtida Äterbetalning Àr 30 kalenderdagar. Vid förtida Äterbetalning har konvertibelinnehavaren rÀtt att vÀlja aktier i Bolaget i stÀllet för kontant Äterbetalning.

Vid förfall kan konvertibelinnehavaren vÀlja att fÄ lÄnet Äterbetalat kontant eller att konvertera lÄnet till aktier i Hexicon, vilket innebÀr att Hexicon inte har rÀtt att konvertera lÄnet till aktier.

Hexicon Ätar sig att anvÀnda eventuella intÀkter frÄn avyttringar av vissa projekt för att Äterbetala KonvertibellÄnen.

Konverteringskurs
Konverteringskursen i KonvertibellĂ„nen baseras pĂ„ sjuttiofem (75) procent av det volymvĂ€gda genomsnittspriset (”VWAP”) för Hexicons aktier under de 30 handelsdagarna som föregĂ„r konverteringsdagen den 9 november 2023 eller som föregĂ„r Hexicons förtida Ă„terbetalning. Konverteringskursen ska som lĂ€gst vara 1,00 krona per aktie och som högst 2,50 kronor per aktie.

Avvikelse frÄn aktieÀgarnas företrÀdesrÀtt
Syftet med emissionerna och skÀlet till avvikelsen frÄn aktieÀgarnas företrÀdesrÀtt Àr att Bolaget har ett starkt behov av ytterligare rörelsekapital och pÄ grund av den tidsutdrÀkt som en företrÀdesemission innebÀr samt det rÄdande marknadssentimentet Àr det styrelsens bedömning att emissioner med avvikelse frÄn aktieÀgarnas företrÀdesrÀtt ligger i Bolagets och samtliga aktieÀgares intresse och dÀrför ocksÄ motiverar avvikelse frÄn huvudregeln att nyemissioner ska genomföras med företrÀdesrÀtt för aktieÀgarna. Styrelsens bedömning Àr att villkoren i emissionerna Àr marknadsmÀssiga eftersom de har bestÀmts genom en förhandling pÄ armlÀngds avstÄnd mellan Bolaget och investerarna. Vid förhandlingen har jÀmförelse gjorts med villkor i andra riktade konvertibelemissioner. Vidare har styrelsen beaktat det allmÀnna marknadslÀget som gör det sÀrskilt svÄrt att resa kapital varvid villkoren för KonvertibellÄnen vid en helhetsbedömning bedöms vara marknadsmÀssiga. 

Aktiekapital, aktier och utspÀdning
Under förutsÀttning att konvertibelemissionen till Bjarne Borg och Hans von Uthmann godkÀnns av en extra bolagsstÀmma, och givet att KonvertibellÄnen i dess helhet konverteras till aktier inklusive upplupen rÀnta till den lÀgsta möjliga konverteringskursen om 1,00 krona, kommer antalet aktier i Hexicon att öka med *82 500 000, frÄn 363 802 686 till 446 302 686. Bolagets aktiekapital kommer att öka med 825 000,00 kronor frÄn 3 638 026,86 kronor till 4 663 026,86 kronor. KonvertibellÄnen innebÀr dÀrmed en potentiell maximal utspÀdning om cirka 18,5 procent baserat pÄ det totala antalet aktier i Hexicon efter konvertering av KonvertibellÄnen.*

Correction: Hexicon secures bridge financing to the next phase – carries out directed issues of convertibles totaling SEK 82.5 million

The adjustment includes text on release, publication or distribution in a number of countires.

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, HONG KONG, JAPAN, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES. PLEASE REFER TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE END OF THE PRESS RELEASE. The Board of Directors of Hexicon AB (publ) (“Hexicon” or the “Company”) has, with support of the full authorization granted by the annual general meeting on 12 May 2022, resolved to raise a SEK 81 million convertible loan from existing shareholders and new investors, including Wallenius Marine AB and Martin BjĂ€ringer. The Board of Directors has also, subject to the subsequent approval of a general meeting since the persons entitled to subscription are encompassed by chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (SFS 2005:551), resolved to raise a SEK 1.5 million convertible loan from the Company’s existing shareholders and board members Bjarne Borg (through Gulfstream Investment Group LCC) and Hans von Uthmann. Notice of an extraordinary general meeting will be published in a separate press release. The convertible loans of SEK 81 million and SEK 1.5 million, respectively, are collectively referred to as the “Convertible Loans”. The Convertible Loans will satisfy the Company’s financing need for the coming eight months, allowing Hexicon to divest selected project rights.

“Hexicon has recently completed its most investment heavy quarter yet, establishing a strategic portfolio according to plan, with the intention to enter the divestment phase during 2023. We have decided to accelerate the divestment of selected projects, enabling new investments. The Convertible Loans will enable us to reach key milestones within current projects, before divesting the attached project rights. I am pleased with the structure of the convertible loans which allows us to reach this next phase with significant revenue from project divestments, with limited dilution for the shareholders if converted”, says Marcus Thor, CEO at Hexicon.

Terms of the Convertible Loans
The total nominal value of the Convertible Loans amounts to SEK 82.5 million. The Convertible Loans have a 360 calendar days term to maturity from the issue date, that is up to and including 23 November 2023. The interest rate amounts to twelve (12.00) per cent per annum, which is capitalized until maturity or early repayment of the Convertible Loans.

Repayment of the Convertible Loans
For each 90-day period after the raising of the Convertible Loans, Hexicon can choose to repay the Convertible Loans plus a premium of 2.00 per cent of the nominal amount including accrued interest before maturity. The notice period for such early repayment is 30 calendar days. In the event of early repayment, the convertible holder has the right to choose shares in the Company instead of a cash payment.

At maturity the convertible holder can choose to have the loan repaid in cash or convert the loan into shares in Hexicon, meaning Hexicon has no right to convert the loan into shares.

Hexicon undertakes to use any proceeds from divestments of certain projects to repay the Convertible Loans.

Conversion price
The conversion price for the Convertible Loans shall be based on seventy-five (75) per cent of the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Hexicon’s shares during the 30 trading days preceding the conversion date on 9 November 2023 or preceding Hexicon’s earlier repayment. The conversion price shall be at least SEK 1.00 per share and at most SEK 2.50 per share.

Deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights
The purpose of the new issues and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Company has a strong need for additional working capital and due to the extended time period required to carry out a rights issue and the current market sentiment, it is the Board of Director's assessment that issues with deviation from the shareholder's preferential rights is in the Company's and all shareholder's interest and therefore also justifies deviation from the main rule that new issues shall be carried out with preferential rights for the shareholders. The Board of Directors’ assessment is that the terms and conditions of the issues is in accordance with market conditions, since they have been determined through a negotiation at arm's length between the Company and the investors. During the negotiations a comparison was made with terms and conditions in other issues of convertibles. Further, the Board of Directors has taken into account general market conditions that make it difficult to raise capital, whereby the terms and conditions for the Convertible Loans in an overall assessment are deemed to be in accordance with market conditions.

Share capital, shares, and dilution
Provided that the convertible issue to Bjarne Borg and Hans von Uthmann is approved by an extraordinary general meeting, and given that the Convertible Loans in their entirety is converted into shares including accrued interest and to the lowest possible conversion price of SEK 1.00, the number of shares in Hexicon will increase by *82,500,000, from 363,802,686 to 446,302,686. The share capital of the Company will increase by SEK 825,000.00, from SEK 3,638,026.86 to SEK 4,463,026.86. Thus, the Convertible Loans entails a potential maximum dilution of approximately 18.5 per cent based on the total number of shares in Hexicon after conversion of the Convertible Loans.*

  • TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP: Decision was made to accelerate all efforts towards the TwinHub Project (UK) where the syndication efforts have started for COD in 2025. The TwinWay technology demonstration project (Norway) is discontinued as the Metcentre time schedule suffered further delays.

HIGHLIGHTS AFTER Q3

  • ITALY: AvenHexicon obtained priority rights over two water areas in Italy, totalling 2,550 MW, to develop floating wind farms. The two offshore areas are now prioritized for development.

COMMENT FROM MARCUS THOR, CEO: INTENSE QUARTER LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR PLANNED DIVESTMENTS

A period of large investments paves the way for revenue growth. Hexicon’s growth plan, starting at the IPO, can be split in three phases. The first phase; investments aimed to grow the project portfolio and mature the technology. The second phase; having reached a diversified portfolio in terms of maturity, and then recycle capital through meaningful divestments. The third and last phase; to have the profitable project developments complemented by a verified TwinWindℱ technology and generating license revenues. 

We are now at the end of the first phase and during the third quarter, large investments were made, most importantly in the MunmuBaram and TwinHub projects, which both are essential to Hexicon, but in different ways. The MunmuBaram Project, co-owned with Shell, is the most mature large-scale project within our portfolio, with the potential to be the largest floating wind farm in the world. Secondly, the TwinHub Project is key to unlock the true potential of the TwinWindℱ technology and therethrough underpin the scalability of the global business model. 

Increased portfolio value: Advancements in South Korea, Italy and the UK. South Korea continues to be a region where we are highly active, two milestones were reached; our joint venture Hexicon Korea sold its 40% stake in the 1,200 MW Yeonggwang Project to an undisclosed major energy company, while we increased our ownership in the MunmuBaram Project, from 10% indirect ownership to 20% direct ownership. Turning to the European market and our project in Italy, progress was made after the end of the period as we obtained priority rights over two areas totalling 2,550 MW to develop floating wind farms. This is the first major milestone of any development which further increases our presence in the fast-moving Italian market and strengthens the project portfolio.

Progress within technology provision: TwinHub prioritisation and strengthened IP portfolio. Winning the UK’s first ever CfD auction for floating offshore wind in July, was and still is a significant event for Hexicon. In the last quarter we have continued to put much time and effort into the TwinHub Project, which is important and defines our dual business model as a project developer, and as a technology provider, proving the competitiveness of our TwinWindℱ technology. The CfD auction win triggered a strategic and collective review of the two projects TwinHub (UK) and TwinWay (Norway), to ensure best technology verification. Consequently, Hexicon will discontinue the TwinWay project to focus our efforts on TwinHub which contains larger commercial turbines and a confirmed revenue support. Furthermore, we were granted patent for TwinWindℱ in the United States, strengthening the IP portfolio. This means that Hexicon now has patents for TwinWindℱ in over 20 countries.

The investments we are undertaking are a prerequisite to build value for the long haul. At the end of the quarter, the accumulated book value of our project portfolio is over 330 MSEK. We also have an organisation that is well equipped to enter the next phase, especially pointing out that we have a complete management team, which most recently was complemented by our Chief Projects Officer who comes from German utility EnBW.

The energy crisis is prevalent. As the northern hemisphere is entering a challenging and long winter season, the severity of the situation has become a household subject. The continued surge in energy prices as well as the Nord Stream sabotage emphasises the vulnerability in the current energy infrastructure, and the importance of accelerating the transition to fossil-free and domestic energy sources. A transition in which floating offshore wind, and Hexicon, will play an important role. Despite the macroeconomic uncertainty, we maintain great confidence and determination in our mission to accelerate the transition to renewable energy systems.
