Otovo AS Class A ( (DE:89K0) ) has issued an announcement.

Otovo ASA has completed a previously announced private placement of 13,985,000 new shares at NOK 11.50, structured in two tranches and supported by a share lending agreement with Arctic Securities and Jackson Leigh Ventures, an entity controlled by CEO William John Berger. An extraordinary general meeting approved the issuance of 2,914,480 new shares in tranche 2, enabling delivery-versus-payment settlement and temporarily adjusting the CEO-linked entity’s shareholding as borrowed shares are lent to the manager and later returned.

Jackson Leigh Ventures LLC, which originally held 23.17% of Otovo, saw its stake diluted to 19.18% after tranche 1 and to 18.34% after tranche 2, reflecting the impact of the capital raise on existing ownership. Due to the temporary lending of 2,914,480 shares for settlement purposes, its holding briefly drops to 14.00% of the company’s shares and votes, a change that will be reversed once the newly issued tranche 2 shares are delivered back under the share lending arrangement, clarifying the post-transaction governance and ownership dynamics for investors.
