Tecnotree's Annual General Meeting held on 15 April 2024 resolved on the reverse share split and thereto related redemption of shares to the effect that each twenty (20) shares of the Company will be merged into one (1) share. Concurrently with the execution of the reverse share split, the Board of Directors of the Company has today, 19 April 2024, resolved, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, on a directed share issue without consideration in which the Company has issued without consideration a total of 108 794 new shares in the Company to the effect that the number of shares in each shareholder's book-entry account has been made divisible by 20. The combined market value of the shares issued without consideration is approximately EUR 42 266.47, based on the closing price of 19 April 2024.
After the directed share issue, the Company has redeemed without consideration 19 shares for each 20 shares of the Company, in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. The Company's shares redeemed in connection with the reverse share split have been cancelled immediately by a resolution of the Board of Directors. After the reverse share split, Tecnotree holds 39 942 treasury shares.
The purpose of the reverse share split is to increase the value of an individual share, promote an efficient share price formation, and enable the issuance of dividends.
In connection with the reverse share split, the Board of Directors resolved also to make the same proportional adjustments to the Company's options, convertible debentures and warrants as described below in more detail.
