Successful book building for private placement in IDEX

Significantly oversubscribed placement.

The private placement of new shares which was resolved on 22 April 2013 received great interest from investors. The book building resulted in more than twice the planned maximum of NOK 22 million. The board has therefore increased the placement amount to NOK 30 million to better accommodate the investors’ demand for IDEX shares.

The board has resolved to issue 18,771,250 shares at a subscription price of NOK 1.60 per share, thereby raising NOK 30 million new equity and liquidity before expenses.

The issue of the shares will be subject to resolution at IDEX’s annual general meeting on 16 May 2013. Significant shareholders have confirmed that they will support the resolution.
Following the completion of the transaction, the company’s share capital will be NOK 49,342,602 divided into 328,950,680 registered shares at NOK 0.15.
