The special general meeting of the shareholders of AS LHV Group resolved:
1. Increase of the share capital
The general meeting unanimously resolved to increase share capital of the Group
by EUR 2,200,000 through the issuing of new ordinary shares under the following
terms and conditions:
i. to issue 2,200,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of EUR 1, as a
result of which the new amount of share capital will be EUR 28,454,079;
ii. the shares will be issued with a share premium. The nominal value must be
paid for each share, which is EUR 1, and the lower limit of the share
premium is EUR 10.50, with it being possible for the Supervisory Board to
assign a higher share premium by the start of share subscription, at the
latest;
iii. The shareholders of the Group have the right of pre-emption for new
shares for a period of two weeks as of the start of the subscription
period for shares. A circle of individuals (shareholders) entitled to use
the right of pre-emption shall be determined as at the close of business
for the Nasdaq CSD securities settlement system on 4 September 2019;
iv. The Group's shareholders, who have been entered in the list of
shareholders as at the fixed day, shall each be granted 1 (one) right of
pre-emption for every existing 12 shares. The subscription to each new
share requires 1 (one) right of pre-emption. If the number of shares in
the possession of the shareholder does not grant them the right to
subscribe to a whole number of shares, the number of subscribed shares
shall be rounded to the nearest mathematical whole number, whereas
fractions under one shall be rounded to one;
v. the trading period for rights of subscription for shares - 11 September
2019 until 23 September 2019, whereas the terms and conditions for
trading with rights of subscription for shares are set forth in the
public offer prospectus and listing particulars published prior to the
start of the tender (Prospectus);
vi. new shares shall be distributed exclusively amongst individuals holding
subscription rights as at the close of business for the Nasdaq CSD
securities settlement system on 25 September 2019;
vii. subscription and payment for new shares shall take place in accordance
with the procedure set forth in the Prospectus during the period 11
September 2019 - 25 September 2019;
viii. new shares shall be distributed in accordance with their subscription
orders, but not more than the corresponding individual's pre-emptive
right to subscribe to shares. In the case of an amount that exceeds the
quantity indicated, the shares shall be divided in proportion to the pre-
emptive rights belonging to subscribers (but not in excess of the number
of shares subscribed for by the corresponding individual);
ix. if it appears that share subscription exceeds the number of shares being
offered under the current decision, then the number of shares subscribed
for shall be divided proportionally between subscribers based on the pre-
emptive rights belonging to the subscribers. In the event that the
subscribed shares are not divided exactly between subscribers, the
Group's Supervisory Board shall make the final decision on the division
of subscribed shares between subscribers. The Group's Supervisory Board
decides on the cancellation of oversubscribed shares. In the event that
all of the new shares have not been fully subscribed by the term
specified in the decision, the Group's Management Board shall have the
right to extend the subscription period or cancel any shares that have
not been subscribed for during the subscription period. The specific
rules governing the allocation of new shares are prescribed in the
Prospectus;
x. newly issued shares will provide the right to a dividend starting in the
2019 financial year.
