Background to the Placing and Share Subscription
The Company made an announcement on 8 April 2024, providing an update to the market on the following key operational and financial factors:
1. Significant New Order
La Compañía has received a significant new order with a gross value of US$1.27m for delivery to the North American market in the first half of this year. This initial order opens up the opportunity to secure further orders from the same customer, which operates a number of additional sites populated by approximately five times as many V82 turbines as covered by today's announcement. Given the prominence of this customer, this order should significantly add to the visibility of Windar in the North American Market.
2. This new order represents the Company's third full wind farm deployment in North America with Vestas V82 wind turbines to be equipped with the Company's Windar WindEye / WindTimizer optimization solution. Approximately 10% of the order value is attributable to software related income derived from the recently launched Windar Nexus software suite which the Company believes has been integral to winning and enabling this order. This is the Company's first revenue from software as it seeks to expand its offering further by selling not only upfront software licenses but also additional turbine performance improvement software-related services. FY 2023 Trading Update and Current Trading.
The year ended 31 December 2023 closed (based on unaudited figures) with revenue of c.€4.8m, reflecting growth of over 150% on the prior year's revenue of c.€1.9m in spite of being impacted negatively by currency fluctuations late in the year. The 2023 EBITDA* of c.€0.4m delivered the Company's first positive EBITDA* and a conversion of YOY incremental Revenue to EBITDA* of over 40% from a 2022 EBITDA* loss of €0.8m.
67% of 2023 revenue was earned in the final 5 months of the year as sales conversion and production capacity both showed significant improvements.
The Group had cash balances of c.€0.2m as at 31 December 2023, impacted by the concentration of sales shortly before the year end.
The current year ending 31 December 2024 has started strongly, with sales and orders representing estimated revenue of c.€5.9m (including the significant new order), already exceeding full year 2023 revenue, and giving the Board confidence that the full year will see YOY revenue growth of a similar order to the c.150% YOY growth from 2022 to 2023.
* full year EBITDA has been adjusted for the exclusion of share-based payment charges along with depreciation, amortisation, interest and tax from the measure of profit.
Capital de explotación
The Directors are of the opinion, having made due and careful enquiry, that, taking into account the net proceeds of the Placing and the revenue and other operating income that the Company expects to generate over the period, the working capital available to the Company is sufficient for its requirements for 12 months from the date of this announcement.
Detalles de la colocación
It is expected that up to 11,431,426 Placing Shares will be issued pursuant to the Placing, which would represent up to approximately 14.06 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital (assuming the issue of all the Placing Shares and the Share Subscription Shares). The Placing and the Share Subscription will utilise the existing authorities of the Company, granted at the Company's annual general meeting held on 11 July 2023 permitting it to issue new Ordinary Shares on a non pre-emptive basis.
WH Ireland intends to conditionally place the Placing Shares with certain institutional and other investors at the Placing Price.
As announced on 8 April 2024, the Company received expressions of interest from certain directors and other interested investors to participate in the Placing at the Placing Price to raise up to £2m (before expenses). The Company is now in a position to provide an update on the intention of the directors in this regard. Certain Directors (the "Directores participantes") have indicated their intention to subscribe for, in aggregate, 1,857,142 Placing Shares at the Placing Price, amounting to £650,000. Details of the Participating Directors' intended participation in the Placing, and their respective resulting interests in the Company's share capital, as enlarged by the Placing ("Capital social ampliado"), are set out below:
Director | Existing holding (shares) | Placing participation (£) | Placing participation (shares) | % holding of Enlarged Share Capital (assuming the issue of all the Placing Shares and the Subscription Shares) |
david lis | 397,500 | £500,000 | 1,428,571 | 2.25 |
Gavin Manson | 0 | £150,000 | 428,571 | 0.53 |
The Participating Directors' participation in the Placing will constitute a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The Independent Directors, Jørgen Korsgaard and Andy Richardson, who are not participating in the Placing or the Share Subscription, consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, WH Ireland, that the terms of the related party transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its Shareholders are concerned.
Windar has today entered into a placing agreement with WH Ireland to act as sole bookrunner (the "corredor de libros") en relación con la Colocación (la "Acuerdo de colocación"). La Colocación está condicionada, entre otras cosas, a que la Admisión entre en vigor y que el Acuerdo de Colocación se vuelva incondicional y no se rescinda de acuerdo con sus términos.
La colocación se lleva a cabo a través de Bookbuild, que se lanzará con efecto inmediato después de la publicación de este Anuncio. El momento del cierre de la Bookbuild, el número de nuevas Acciones Ordinarias emitidas de conformidad con la Colocación y las asignaciones quedan a exclusivo criterio de la Compañía y el Bookrunner. Bookrunner se reserva el derecho de cerrar Bookbuild sin previo aviso. No puede haber certeza de que la colocación se complete. La colocación se lleva a cabo sobre la base de esfuerzos razonables y no está suscrita.
Details of the Share Subscription
It is expected that up to 1,200,000 Subscription Shares will be issued pursuant to the Share Subscription, which would represent up to approximately 1.48 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital (assuming the issue of all the Subscription Shares and the Placing Shares). The Subscription Shares will utilise the existing authorities of the Company, granted at the Company's annual general meeting held on 11 July 2023 permitting it to issue new Ordinary Shares on a non pre-emptive basis.
At the date of this Announcement, the Receiving Agent appointed by West Hill in connection with the Share Subscription has received Application Forms in respect of 1,200,000 Subscription Shares to raise approximately £0.42 million, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Application Forms. The Share Subscription is not being underwritten by West Hill. However, Paul Hodges, a non- executive director of the Company, has indicated his intention to the Company that if on the date that is one month after the date of Admission
· the number of Subscription Shares issued by the Company pursuant to Share Subscription is less than 1,200,000, he will subscribe for such number of Subscription Shares at the Placing Price as necessary to make up the shortfall; and
· there is a default in payment for any Subscription Shares, he will subscribe at the Placing Price for the Subscription Shares in respect of which the default has occurred,
provided always, that if at the relevant time the Company is in a "closed period" under UK MAR (being The Market Abuse Regulation EU (No 596/2014) as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) or he is otherwise in possession of inside information relating to the Group or the Company's shares, he shall not be required to purchase the Subscription Shares until such time that the "closed period" under UK MAR has ended or he is no longer in possession of inside information (as applicable).
Any participation by Paul Hodges in the Share Subscription pursuant to the above arrangements will constitute a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The Independent Directors, Jørgen Korsgaard and Andy Richardson, who are not participating in the Placing or the Share Subscription, consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, WH Ireland, that the terms of the related party transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its Shareholders are concerned.
Colocación de acciones y acciones de suscripción
As part of the Placing and the Share Subscription, the Company is seeking to raise funds by the issue of the Placing Shares to VCTs and investors seeking tax relief under the Enterprise Investment Scheme. Such Placing Shares and Subscription Shares are intended to rank as "eligible shares" for the purposes of EIS and VCT investors and a "qualifying holding" for the purposes of an investment by VCTs, each pursuant to the relevant respective sections of the Income Tax Act 2007 ("ITA 2007"). La Compañía no ha presentado una solicitud de garantía avanzada a HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") in respect of EIS qualification of the EIS shares issued pursuant to this Placing, but the Company has obtained a written opinion from specialist tax advisers confirming that the Company would, subject to the relevant limits on such issuances, be able to issue part of the Placing Shares as "eligible shares" under the relevant sections of the ITA 2007. Neither the Company nor the Directors give any warranties or undertakings that EIS reliefs or VCT reliefs will be granted in respect of Placing Shares issued as EIS/VCT qualifying shares pursuant to the Placing. Neither the Company nor the Directors give any warranties or undertakings that EIS reliefs or VCT reliefs, if granted, will not be withdrawn. If the Company carries on activities beyond those disclosed to HMRC in a prior advance clearance obtained in connection with a previous placing of Ordinary Shares in the Company, then Shareholders may cease to qualify for the tax benefits. Placees and Subscribers must take their own advice and rely on it.
Se espera que a su debido tiempo se realice un nuevo anuncio tras el cierre de Bookbuild, que confirme los detalles finales de la colocación.
The ticker for the Company's Ordinary Shares is WHPO. The Company's LEI is 2138003JZZMKJGOOCR02.
