Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA - Private Placement in Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA ("WAWI") on 6 October 2026 regarding the launch of a private placement of new shares in order to raise gross proceeds of the NOK equivalent of USD 300 million (the "Private Placement").
As referenced in the announcement, Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA ("WWI") has pre-committed to subscribe for its pro-rata share (37.9%) at the final offer price of the Private Placement, but is open to being scaled back to support liquidity, overall investor diversity and quality of demand. The final result of the Private Placement, including the allocation to WWI, will be communicated in a separate announcement by WAWI after completion of the Private Placement.
WWI has entered into a share lending agreement with DNB Carnegie, a part of DNB Bank ASA, whereby WWI has agreed to lend a number of shares equal to the shares allocated in the Private Placement (less the shares allocated to WWI) to facilitate delivery-versus-payment settlement in the Private Placement. The share loan will be settled after the share capital increase pertaining to the Private Placement has been registered.
