Oslo 22 June 2026: BEVEST ASA (“BEVEST” or the “Company”) hereby announces that it has sold 4,574,256 existing shares (the “Sale Shares”) in Nekkar ASA (“Nekkar”) at a price of NOK 14 per Sale Share, amounting to gross proceeds of approximately NOK 64 million (the “Transaction”).
The Sale Shares were delivered from Nekkar as consideration for Nekkar exercising an option to acquire the shareholding in FiiZK AS (“FiiZK”) and for Nekkar taking over a shareholder loan in FiiZK.
After working successfully alongside Nekkar on the restructuring of FiiZK since August 2023 BEVEST now exit FiiZK. The Transaction reflects a re-allocation from what for BEVEST would be a financial stake in Nekkar of approximately 4.3% of outstanding shares to other projects and to strengthen our industrial platform. The Transaction thereby supports the Company’s active ownership role and long-term industrial ownership agenda.
Advisor SB1 Markets AS has acted as sole bookrunner in connection with the secondary placement.
