Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014
Stockholm, Sweden, 18 August 2025 – The management of Aonic AB (publ) (the “Company” or “Issuer”) resolved today to mandate Pareto Securities AB as global coordinator and joint bookrunner and Nordea Bank Abp as joint bookrunner to arrange a series of fixed income investor meetings commencing 19 August 2025 to explore the possibility of issuing subsequent senior secured bonds in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 55 million under the existing senior secured callable floating rate bonds due in October 2027 (the “Subsequent Bonds”).
The Company is in exclusive negotiations with the shareholder of a research technology business (the “Target”) for the acquisition of the shares in the Target and intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the New Bonds, together with cash from balance sheet, to finance such acquisition, which is expected to increase consolidated proforma revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) to approximately EUR 310 million and EUR 60 million, respectively, over the last 12 months as per 30 June 2025 (the “Contemplated Acquisition”). The Contemplated Acquisition is expected to complete by early September 2025.
Subject to a successful placement, the Subsequent Bonds will initially be issued as separate bonds under an interim ISIN but, upon completion of the Contemplated Acquisition and corresponding release of the proceeds of the Subsequent Bonds, be exchanged for additional bonds under the Company’s up to EUR 125 million senior secured callable floating rate bonds issued on 18 October 2023 (the “Existing Bonds”). Following completion of such mandatory exchange, the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Bonds is expected to be EUR 125 million. The New Bonds will, therefore, be issued under the same terms and conditions as the Existing Bonds and will form a single series with the Existing Bonds from completion of the exchange.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as per Aonic’s annual report 2024.
