Norwegian cod aquaculture company Norcod has completed a subsequent offering, generating NOK 2.5 million (USD 233,000, EUR 215,000) by selling 208,828 shares at NOK 12 (USD 1.11, EUR 1.03) per share over a two-week subscription period. Acting as bookrunner was ABG Sundal Collier, with legal counsel provided by Advokatfirmaet Haavind, in line with previous transactions conducted by Norcod.
This offering followed a private placement announced in Norcod's Q4 2023 results, aiming to secure working capital and cover higher-than-expected operational expenses. Initially targeting between NOK 100 million to NOK 150 million (USD 9.3 million to USD 13.9 million, EUR 8.6 million to EUR 12.9 million), Norcod ultimately raised NOK 170 million (USD 15.8 million, EUR 14.6 million). Among the investors in the private placement was High Liner Foods, based in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, with a USD 5 million (EUR 4.6 million) investment.
CEO Christian Riber expressed satisfaction with the private placement's execution and the raised capital, emphasizing investor confidence in Norcod's strategic direction and growth potential. Riber noted that the subsequent offering aimed to provide smaller investors an opportunity to participate, as the minimum investment requirement in the main offering was EUR 100,000 (USD 108,000), limited to existing shareholders.
Despite falling short of its target, Norcod's subsequent offering aligns with trends in the seafood industry, where similar offerings from land-based salmon farming companies have also faced challenges. It's common on the Oslo Børs for subsequent offerings to not fully subscribe across various industries. For instance, Aqua Bio Technology, specializing in skincare products, concluded a subsequent offering in February that was undersubscribed.
