ZignSec AB (publ) carries out a rights issue of shares of approximately SEK 33.5 million secured to approximately 75%

The Board of Directors of ZignSec AB (publ) (“ZignSec” or the “Company”) has today, on 29 April 2024, with the support of the authorization from the Annual General Meeting held on 30 May 2023, resolved to carry out a rights issue of a maximum of 134 069 970 shares of approximately SEK 33.5 million before issue costs (the “Rights Issue”). The subscription price amounts to SEK 0.25 per share. In connection with the Rights Issue, the Company has received subscription commitments from members of the board, management and larger shareholders of approximately SEK 10.6 million, corresponding to approximately 31.8 percent of the Rights Issue. Furthermore, the Company has received underwriting commitments of approximately SEK 14.5 million, corresponding to approximately 43.2 percent of the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue is therefore secured to approximately SEK 25.1 million, corresponding in total to approximately 75 percent of the Rights Issue. The underwriting commitments are not secured by bank guarantees, escrow funds, pledges or similar arrangements. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue are primarily intended to be used for technology development, sales and marketing, as well as working capital for new customer projects.

The Company also expects that the strengthened financial position, combined with increased market demand, will have a positive impact on discussions and negotiations related to the previously communicated strategic review.

Background and motives
ZignSec is a RegTech group that provides a comprehensive KYB/KYC and compliance platform. The platform offers solutions used by companies to optimize their onboarding processes for both corporate customers and consumers while ensuring regulatory compliance in the ever-changing environment of regulatory requirements, both locally and globally, including customer due diligence and anti-money laundering measures. ZignSec is currently focusing on developing a focused set of standardized solutions tailored to the specific needs of industries such as financial services, acquiring banks, gaming companies, and other highly regulated areas related to digital B2C and B2B services.

The motive for the Rights Issue is to strengthen ZignSec’s market presence and position the Company for continued growth, particularly in Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region. To support this process, the company intends to significantly upgrade its technical capacity by enhancing core products and technical platform, investing in its global sales team, increasing its digital marketing efforts, and undertaking further investment in technology and development to enhance and renew the company’s core products and technical platform. Furthermore, the strengthened financial position is expected to have a positive impact on the current strategic review being conducted by the Company.

Use of proceeds
Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the Company will receive initial net proceeds of approximately SEK 28 million (after issue costs). The net proceeds are intended to be used for the following purposes:

• Technology and development
• Sales and marketing
• Working capital for the development of new customer projects
• Operating expenses and other general costs

Terms and conditions of the Rights Issue
The Board of Directors of ZignSec has today on 29 April 2024, based on the authorization from the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 30 June 2024, decided to implement the Rights Issue in accordance with the following main conditions:

  • The Rights Issue comprises a maximum of 134 069 970 new shares in the Company.
  • Any person, who on the record date of 15 May 2024 is registered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB, has preferential rights to subscribe for shares in the Rights Issue.

  • The subscription price in the Rights Issue amounts to SEK 0.25 per share.
  • The Rights Issue corresponds to a valuation of ZignSec (pre-money) of approximately SEK 22.3 million.
  • The last day of trading in the Company’s share including the right to receive subscription rights is 13 May 2024 and the first day of trading excluding the right to receive subscription rights is 14 May 2024.
  • The subscription period in the Rights Issue will run from and including 17 May 2024 until and including 31 May 2024.
  • Trading in subscription rights will take place on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market from and including 17 May 2024 until and including 28 May 2024.

  • ZignSec has received subscription and underwriting commitments of approximately SEK 25.1 million, corresponding to approximately 75 percent of the Rights Issue.
  • Upon full subscription of shares in the Rights Issue, the Company will receive approximately SEK 33.5 million, before deduction of issue costs, which are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 5.5 million, of which the underwriting compensation amounts to approximately SEK 2.2 million.

Subription and underwriting commitments

For the underwriting commitments, a cash compensation of fifteen (15) percent of the guaranteed amount is provided. The underwriting commitments are not secured by bank guarantees, escrow funds, pledges, or similar, thus there is a risk that the commitments, in whole or in part, may not be fulfilled.

Tämä tietenkin paljon parempi uutinen (29.4.2024)

Jaahas heti kun kurssi hieman on alkanut nousemaan, niin johto sössii taas senkin massiivisella annilla ja vieläpä alemmalla hinnalla kuin mitä osake oli ennen nousun alkua. Todella taidokasta omistaja-arvon luontia :ok_hand. No jos yhtiö ostetaan pois, niin pääseepähän eroon mitättömäksi kutistuneesta (alunperinkin pienestä) positiosta ilman välityskuluja.

En tiedä jos kuvailisin yhtiön toimia sössimisenä, vaikka ZignSecin kurssi onkin valunut kupla-tasoilta alas alelaariin.

Luulen, että osakekurssi on viime aikoina herännyt henkiin yhtiön uuden investor relations -strategian ansiosta (hyvistä uutisista on tiedoitettu ja toimitusjohtaja avasi näkymiä julkisesti). Todennäköisesti tieto PJT:n kiinnostuksesta ja uudesta annista oli myös vuotanut markkinoille (viime aikojen isoja blokkeja on vaikea selittää millään muulla).

Nyt yhtiöllä on kuitenkin loistava paikka tehdä pitkä-aikaisille omistajille tuottoa. Jotta yritys voidaan myydä hyvään hintaan sen kassassa on oltava vähintään 12kk burnia vastaavat kassavarat, eli on omistajien etu osallistua. Kyseinen anti on osa isompaa suunnitelmaa ja veikkaan, että se maksaa itsensä takaisin hyvin nopeasti.

Annin hinta heijastaa alkuvuoden osakekurssia, koska sitä on varmasti valmisteltu jo kuukausia. Hinnalla ei tietenkään ole merkitystä jos osallistuu antiin - päinvastoin, omistusosuus saattaa jopa kasvaa jos merkintäoikeuksia jää käyttämättä! Itse olen täysillä mukana.

Huom. PJT Partners oli aikaisemmin osa Blackstonea. Tuskin he käyttäisivät aikaa ZignSecin kokoiseen yhtiöön elleivät näkisi siinä merkittävää potentiaalia.

Olipas vuosikertomus surullista luettavaa. 85MSEK liikevaihdolla 98MSEK tappio.

Mistä se koostuu? Palkkakulut vähenivät, kun työntekjiät vähenivät. Ulkoiset kulut pienenivät hieman, kun luultavasti pilvipalveluiden (käyttöön perustuvat) kulut pienenivät. Loogista. Silmään pisti Aineettomat ja aineelliset poistot.

Mistä ne koostuvat? Tämä ei ole välttämättä (tai yleensä) tililtä lähtevää kulua, vaan poistot, joita voidaan laskea vuosittain kuluna taseeseen pienentämään mahdollisia veroja. Tässä on laskettu hankittujen assettien nopeita 3-5 vuoden kestäviä poistoja.

Vuoden lopussa käteinen ja käteiseksi laskettavat varat ovat n. 2kk kuluja vastaavan verran. Huh.

Sivulta 39 löytyy kirsikka. Vai ehkä sitruuna?

The Board has initiated a process to evaluate ZignSec’s potential strategic options to maximize shareholder value. As part of the process,the Board intends to consider a full range of strategic options, which may include a sale of the Company or other possible transactions.

Voiko firma selvitä tästä? Voi, mutta Houdini saa olla. Tesla teki sen 2008, mutta onko Zignsec Tesla? Päivän droppaus oli mielestäni armollinen. Vain samaan kuin 5 vuorokautta sitten.

Itselläni on muutaman tuhannen euron alkuperäinen panos (muutama satanen nyt). En lisää, mutta pidän sen lottona. Olen myös ostanut illalle Eurojackpotin rivin. Katsotaan, josko jompi kumpi kantaa hedelmää. :slightly_smiling_face:

Pelkästään yrityskauppojen goodwill alaskirjaukset ovat 50MSEK vuodessa, joten aika mahdotonta saada 98MSEK liikevaihdolla firmaa kannattavaksi. Alaskirjauksilla ei kuitenkana ole mitään tekemistä todellisuuden kanssa, koska alaskirjaukset on pakko tehdä siitä huolimatta, että ostettujen liiketoimien arvo olisi pysynyt ennallaan. Kaikki tiedot löytyvät kyllä raportista.

Sivulla 39 on ehdottomasti kirsikka, mutta olisi mielestäni tyhmää olla merkitsemättä osakkeita annissa kun edessä on muuten 63% diluutio. Itse asiassa, jos tappiosi ovat noin isot niin kannattaisi varmaan toissijaisessa merkinnässä yrittää napata mahdollisimman paljon osakkeita 0.25 SEK (alennus)hintaan. Uskon, että moni ajattelee kuin sinä, eikä käytä merkintäoikeuksiaan.

Ei liikearvoa poisteta, vaan sille suoritetaan vuosittain arvonalentumistestaus, joten jos joku ostettu business menisi hyvin, niin ei noita “poistoja”/arvonalentumisia silloin olisi tarpeen kirjata. Usein nuo kirjataan muutenkin liian myöhään ja alkuun arvenalentumistestauksissa on usein käytössä ns. lätkämaila-malli, jossa se ostettu liiketoiminta on ihan just lähdössä lentoon ja tosi kannattavana. Jossain vaiheessa sitten pakko todeta, että ei tästä mitään tule ja kirjataan koko roska alas.

“The annual reports and the consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with Årsredovisningslagen (1995:1554) and BFNAR 2012:1 Årsredovisning och koncernredovisning (K3).”

Sinä viittaat nyt IFRS käytäntöihin? ZignSec noudattaa eri kirjanpitokäytäntöjä. Goodwill poistetaan 5 vuodessa tasapoistoilla.

Kappas, oletin että soveltaisivat IFRS:ää, mutta perutaanpas sitten äskeinen. Saisi omasta mielestä IFRS:äänkin tulla säännös, jonka mukaan liikearvo pitäisi poistaa esimerkiksi enintään 10 vuodessa.

Hi.com tuntuu olevan ihan vakavasti otettava asiakkuus. 120 työntekijää ja yli USD 30m rahoitusta. Yksi perustajista näköjään BasisID:n entinen työntekijä.

Vaikea sanoa, onko tuo hyvä vai huono asia pitkällä tähtäimellä. Näistä Kryptopuljuista on monella krapula ja Sam poikakin sai 25 v tuomion FTX veivauksesta. Näiden kanssa täytyy pitää varansa, tai voi polttaa näppinsä, maineensa ja säästönsä. Toivottavasti Zignsecin diili ei sisällä Tecnotreen kaltaisia 200+ päivän maksuaikoja… :man_shrugging:
