Kats, Netherlands - September 16, 2026 - Reference is made to the stock exchange
announcement published by The Kingfish Company N.V. (Euronext Growth Oslo: KING)
(the "Company" or "Kingfish") on 4 September 2026 regarding the allocation of
new shares in the Subsequent Offering (as defined therein).
The Subsequent Offering has been carried out following the Private Placement and
the CLA Conversion (as further described and defined in the Company's stock
exchange announcement dated 12 May 2026) in order to facilitate equal treatment
of shareholders by limiting the dilutive effect of the Private Placement and
providing shareholders who did not participate in the Private Placement with an
opportunity to subscribe for shares at the same subscription price as in the
Private Placement.
The Company is pleased with the outcome of the Subsequent Offering, which
attracted participation from a significant proportion of eligible shareholders
and raised approximately EUR 2.4 million through the issuance of 42,272,359 new
shares (the "New Shares").
The completion of the Subsequent Offering marks the final step of the Company's
strategic financial restructuring. The restructuring has resulted in a
significantly simplified capital structure, strengthened the Company's equity
base and materially reduced net debt, while providing additional liquidity to
support the business. With a substantially strengthened balance sheet and
improved financial flexibility, the Company is well positioned to continue its
growth journey, further develop its operations and pursue long-term value
creation.
Pursuant to the authorisation granted to the Supervisory Board of the Company by
the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 19 June 2026, the Supervisory
Board has today resolved to issue the New Shares. The corresponding share
capital increase has been effected by private deed with immediate legal effect
and will be filed with the Dutch Trade Register.
The Company's new share capital is EUR 9,402,534.43, divided into 940,253,443
ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of EUR 0.01.
The New Shares are expected to be delivered to the subscribers' respective VPS
accounts and become tradeable on Euronext Growth Oslo on or about tomorrow, 17
September 2026.
