Press Release
Tonner Drones launches a capital increase with shareholders' preferential subscription rights
for an amount of €5.0 million
Cannes, March 12, 2024 - 8:00 am
Tonner Drones (FR001400H2X4 – ALTD) (the “ Company ”), a company developing drones and associated technologies, in particular for logistic, the defense and homeland security sectors, announces the launch of a capital increase with shareholders' preferential subscription rights for a gross amount of €4,977,279.00 through the issue of 199,091,160 new shares at a unit price of €0.025, representing a discount of 97.22% to the closing price on March 11, 2024 (€0.90), with a parity of 120 new shares for 1 existing share (the " Capital Increase ").
REASON FOR THE CAPITAL INCREASE
This Capital Increase marks the end of the financial restructuring phase of Tonner Drones initiated since May 2023 by a new management team and a new group of investors.
The new management team, led by Mr. Bradley TAYLOR and Mr. Jean-François OTT, has implemented a strategy to drastically reduce Tonner Drones' monthly cash needs from around €200,000 to €50,000, in particular by reducing the Company's workforce, moving to premises that are more suitable in terms of size and less expensive .
Tonner Drones published its half-yearly financial report 2023 on February 22, 2024 and will publish its annual results 2023 and its annual financial report 2023 on April 30, 2024 at the latest. The year 2023 was devoted to restructuring the Company, and non-recurring expenses had to be incurred in order to reduce Tonner Drones' structural costs and prepare for its future development. As a result, the Company anticipates that its sales in 2023 will be very low and it will be loss-making taking into account the first half of 2023, with sales of 88,216 euros and net income of -8,829,451 euros, and the second half of 2023 , dedicated to the restructuring of Tonner Drones, which in particular generated significant legal expenses. Shareholders and investors should therefore expect large losses for fiscal year 2023. The Capital Increase is intended to clean the financial situation and to enable management to focus on rebuilding the company from 2 quarter 2024.
The Company's new strategy, aimed at creating value for all shareholders, is based on the following pillars:
In September 2023 , as part of its strategic focus on the defense sector, Tonner Drones initiated a collaboration with the Ukrainian defense group Techaviacom, enabling it to add value to a stock of equipment held by Tonner Drones from the former Delta Drone activities. Techaviacom and Tonner Drones are currently examining ways of deepening their collaboration, which could create value for both parties.
For the new management of Tonner Drones, the drone and drone related technologies sector is still a fragmented market, with many small players operating on part of the drone industry value chain, either on the software or hardware side, with excellent teams. As a listed company with the requisite managerial expertise and financial backing, Tonner Drones is well positioned to become a drone industry aggregator thereby ensuring seamless integration along all lines and creating shareholder value.
In order to secure its financing for at least the next 12 months, Tonner Drones has opted for a traditional method of financing, through a capital increase with shareholders' preferential subscription rights, thus enabling all current shareholders, but also new investors, to take part in the financing and the new future of Tonner Drones.
The management of Tonner Drones is opposed to Equity Line programs with the issue of new shares at a variable price based on the issuer's share price. Tonner Drones found investors willing to buy back all the convertible bonds held by Yorkville Advisors, thereby terminating its Equity Line agreement . As part of the Capital Increase, these same investors have undertaken to freely subscribe to the transaction by offsetting their debts against the amount of the convertible bonds they hold and to contribute a further €1.078.516 in cash, corresponding to subscription commitments totalling approx. €2.6 million .
Following the reserved capital increases carried out in August 2023 , the Company's Chairman is once again demonstrating its commitment by participating in the Capital Increase through a commitment to subscribe for an amount of one million euros by way of debt compensation and would thus hold 20,06% of the Company's share capital in the event of completion of 100% of the Capital Increase. The Chairman's objective is to maintain his position as the Company's main reference shareholder over the long term.
This Capital Increase, intended primarily for Tonner Drones shareholders but also open to all investors, has the following main objectives:
Mr. Jean-François OTT, Chairman of the Board of directors, and Mr. Brad Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, said: "The purpose of this fund-raising is to complete the restructuring of Tonner Drones that has been underway since May 2023, as well as its strategic reorientation towards drones for the defense, private security and public safety sectors. We have opted for a financing operation with shareholders' preferential subscription rights, in order to unite as many of the Company's historical shareholders as possible, as well as new investors, around our development project for Tonner Drones, and we intend to make no further use of Equity Line financing programs." .
MAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CAPITAL INCREASE
Share capital before the transaction
At the launch date of the transaction, Tonner Drones' share capital comprised 1,659,093 fully subscribed and paid-up shares with a par value of €0.025 each, listed on Euronext Growth Paris.
Tonner Drones Share codes
Nature of the transaction
The capital increase proposed by the Company involves the issue of new shares (the " New Shares ") with maintaining of preferential subscription rights (“ PRS ”), on the basis of 120 New Shares for 1 existing share, through the issue of 199,091,160 New Shares.
The New Shares issued in connection with the Capital Increase will carry dividend rights and will be the subject of an application for listing on the Euronext Growth Paris market. They will be immediately assimilated to the Company's existing shares already traded on Euronext Growth Paris under the same ISIN code (FR001400H2X4 - Mnemonic: ALTD).
Legal framework of the transaction
Making use of the delegation of authority granted by the 3 resolution adopted by the Company's Combined General Meeting held on January 27, 2023, Tonner Drones' Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 1 , 2024, decided to implement the delegations of authority granted to it, decided on the principle of a capital increase with preferential subscription rights and granted full powers to the Chief Executive Officer to launch or postpone the issue.
On March 11, 2024, the Chief Executive Officer, using the sub-delegation granted by the Board of Directors on March 1 , 2024, decided to launch a capital increase with preferential subscription rights, the terms of which are detailed in this press release, as well as in a notice to shareholders to be published on March 13 , 2024 in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales et Obligatoires (BALO).
Subscription price of the New Shares
The subscription price has been set at €0.025 per New Share, corresponding to the nominal value per share. No issue premium will therefore be added to the subscription price.
The subscription price represents a discount of 97.22% to the closing price on March 11, 2024 (€0.90).
The subscription price is to be fully paid up at the time of subscription in cash and/or by offsetting receivables.
Maximum amount of the Capital Increase and maximum number of New Shares
The gross amount of the Capital Increase is €4,977,279.00 corresponding to the issue of 199,091,160 New Shares.
Subscription period
Subscription for the New Shares will be open from March 18, 2024 to March 27, 2024 inclusive.
Preferential subscription right
Each shareholder will receive one preferential subscription right for each share registered in his or her securities account at the close of trading on March 15, 2024. In order to guarantee registration in the share account on this date, orders for existing shares on the Euronext Growth Paris market must be executed no later than March 13, 2024.
Subscription for the New Shares is reserved, by preference, for (i) holders of existing shares, who will be allocated one preferential subscription right per existing share, and (ii) transferees of the preferential subscription rights.
Each holder of preferential subscription rights may subscribe:
PSRs may only be exercised up to the number of PSR required to subscribe for a whole number of New Shares. Holders of preferential subscription rights who do not hold a sufficient number of existing shares or preferential subscription rights to obtain a whole number of New Shares, by way of irreducible subscription, will be responsible for acquiring on the Euronext Growth Paris market the number of preferential subscription rights needed to reach the multiple required to obtain a whole number of New Shares.
Fractional PSRs may be sold on the Euronext Growth Paris market during the period in which the PSRs are listed, under ISIN code FR001400ONI6.
In the event that the same subscriber submits several separate subscriptions, the number of New Shares to which he or she is entitled on a reducible basis will be calculated on the basis of all his or her subscription rights only if he or she expressly makes a special request to this effect in writing, no later than the closing date for subscriptions. This request must be attached to one of the subscriptions and must give all the information required for the aggregation of rights, specifying the number of subscriptions made and the authorized institution(s) or intermediary(ies) with which these subscriptions have been deposited.
Subscriptions in the name of separate subscribers may not be grouped together to obtain New Shares on a reducible basis.
The Company owns 30 treasury shares.
To exercise their preferential subscription rights, holders must contact their authorized financial intermediary at any time during the subscription period, i.e. between March 18, 2024 and March 27, 2024 inclusive, and pay the corresponding subscription price of €0.025 per New Share in cash and or by offsetting receivables. Unexercised preferential subscription rights will automatically lapse at the end of the subscription period, i.e. on March 27, 2024 at the close of trading.
A notice published by Euronext will announce, where applicable, the allocation scale for subscriptions subject to reduction.
Free subscription requests
In addition to the possibility of subscribing on an irreducible and reducible basis in accordance with the specified terms and conditions, any individual or legal entity, whether or not holding preferential subscription rights, may subscribe to the Capital Increase on a voluntary basis.
Persons wishing to subscribe on a voluntary basis must submit their request to their authorized financial intermediary at any time during the subscription period and pay the corresponding subscription price.
In accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-134 of the French Commercial Code ( Code de commerce ), unrestricted subscriptions will only be taken into account if the irreducible and reducible subscriptions have not absorbed the entire Capital Increase, it being specified that the Chief Executive Officer will have the option of freely allocating the unsubscribed New Shares, in whole or in part, among the persons (shareholders or third parties) of its choice who have made unrestricted subscription requests.
Listing of preferential subscription rights
Tonner Drones' shareholders will receive 1 preferential subscription right (“ PSR ”) for each share held (i.e., a total of 1,659,093 PSRs issued). Each shareholder holding 1 PSR (and multiples thereof) will be entitled to subscribe to 120 New Shares (and multiples thereof) at a unit price of €0.025.
The preferential subscription rights will be listed and traded on Euronext Growth Paris under ISIN code FR001400ONI6 between March 14, 2024 and March 25, 2024 inclusive. If they are not subscribed or sold, they will lapse at the end of the subscription period and their value will be zero.
Theoretical value of preferential subscription rights
€0.8678 (based on the closing share price on March 11, 2024, i.e. €0.90). The subscription price of the New Shares shows a discount of 22.44% compared with the theoretical value after detachment of the PSR.
These values do not prejudge either the value of the PSR during the PSR trading period, or the value of Tonner Drones shares ex-rights, or discounts, as they will be observed on the market.
Preferential subscription rights detached from treasury shares held by the Company
Pursuant to Article L. 225-206 of the French Commercial Code, the Company may not subscribe for its own shares. PSR detached from treasury shares held by the Company at March 14, 2024 will be sold on Euronext Growth Paris before the end of their trading period, pursuant to Article L. 225-210 of the French Commercial Code.
Limitation of the amount of the Capital Increase
In the event that irreducible, reducible and unrestricted subscriptions do not absorb the entire Capital Increase, the Board of Directors may limit the amount of the Capital Increase to the amount of subscriptions received, in accordance with Article L. 225-134 of the French Commercial Code, on condition that the latter reaches at least €3,792,929.25, corresponding to 75% of the gross amount of the Capital Increase. It should be noted that the Company has received subscription undertakings for an amount of €4,977,279, representing 100% of the Capital Increase.
Paying agents - Payment of subscriptions
Subscriptions for New Shares and payments of funds by shareholders whose shares are held in administered registered ( nominatif administré ) or bearer (au porteur) form will be received until March 27, 2024 (inclusive) by their authorized intermediary.
Subscriptions for New Shares and payments by shareholders whose shares are held in fully registered form ( nominatif pur ) will be received until March 27 2024 (inclusive) by Uptevia (90-110 Esplanade du Général de Gaulle - 92931 Paris La Défense Cedex).
Each subscription must be accompanied by payment of the subscription price in cash and/or by set-off against receivables. Subscriptions that have not been paid up in full will be cancelled ipso jure , without the need for formal notice. Sums paid at the time of subscriptions and remaining available after allocations will be reimbursed without interest to subscribers by the authorized intermediaries who have received them.
Funds paid in support of subscriptions will be centralized by Uptevia (90-110 Esplanade du Général de Gaulle - 92931 Paris La Défense Cedex), which will be responsible for drawing up the certificate of deposit of funds recording the completion of the capital increase and the issue of the New Shares.
Investment restrictions
In some countries, the sale of the New Shares and PSRs may be subject to specific regulations.
Warranty
The Capital Increase is not subject to a performance guarantee within the meaning of Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code. It should be noted, however, that the Company has received subscription undertakings for a global amount representing 100% of the Capital Increase.
Subscription undertakings
Under the terms of irrevocable undertakings given to the Company, 14 shareholders and investors have undertaken to subscribe for New Shares for a global amount of €4,977,279, representing 100% of the Capital Increase, including €2,418,516 in cash and €2,558,763 by offsetting receivables. In the event of partial allocation, their respective subscriptions will be paid in priority by offsetting receivables, if applicable.
The subscription undertakings are as follows:
Ott Heritage, a company controlled by Mr. Jean-François OTT, Chairman of the Board of Directors, have undertaken, as shareholder, to subscribe for New Shares on an irreducible and a reducible basis as follows:
The Company has no knowledge of the intentions of its other shareholders. It is specified that no corporate officer other than Mr. Jean-François OTT is participating in the Capital Increase.
The new investors listed below have undertaken to subscribe for New Shares on an unrestricted basis as follows:
Subscription commitments by new investors are not remunerated.
The investors listed below have undertaken to subscribe for New Shares on an unrestricted basis, it being specified that said subscriptions (i) shall be allocated only up to the amount that is strictly necessary for the completion of the Capital Increase up to 100%, on a pro rata basis between such investors based on their respective commitments, and (ii) will thus be reduced accordingly.
In respect of these undertakings to subscribe on an unrestricted basis in order to ensure the completion of the Capital Increase at 100%, the abovementioned investors will receive a fee of €275,752.12 deducted from the gross proceeds of the Capital Increase. This fee will be payable in full, irrespective of the number of New Shares actually subscribed by such investors under the Capital Increase. In the event of completion of 100% of the Capital Increase, this commission would represent 5.54% of the gross proceeds of the Capital Increase.
Net proceeds from capital increase
The net proceeds of the Capital Increase (corresponding to the gross amount less all expenses relating to the Capital Increase, including the amount of fees payable to the investors who have undertaken to subscribe to the Capital Increase on a free basis in order to ensure its 100% completion) would amount to approximately €4.6 million in the event of completion of the Capital Increase at 100%.
Abstention and lock-up commitments
No commitment to refrain from issuing new securities of the Company or to retain shares has been made in connection with the Capital Increase.
Termination of Equity Line with Yorkville Advisors, Equitization mechanism and Company debt
On 29 February 2024, investors redeemed all the convertible bonds held by Yorkville Advisors and thus it terminated the relationship between the Company and Yorkville Advisors as from March 1 , 2024. The management intends to stop financing itself through any type of product with a variable issue price for new shares.
The only mechanism for issuing new shares at a variable price depending on the share price still active at the date of this press release is the debt equitization program set up under a trust agreement relating to a French fiducie (“ Fiducie A ”) entered into between the Company and the trustee Equitis Gestion on September 15, 2022 and amended on January 3, 2023 and June 7, 2023.
Subject to the approval of the trust beneficiaries' of Fiducie A and the execution of a new amendment to the trust agreement before the end of the subscription period, it is envisaged that Fiducie A subscribe to the Capital Increase for an amount of €250,000 by way of offsetting receivables. If Fiducie A, for whatsoever reason, is not able to subscribe for New Shares, Tonner Drones would then repay this amount in cash.
After the Capital Increase, the balance of Tonner Drones' receivables held by Fiducie A will be around €2.1 million. As with the convertible bond contract, Tonner Drones aims to terminate this variable price product, like it did with the convertible bonds agreement.
Until then, Fiducie A will be able to continue to " equitize " the receivables it holds on Tonner Drones with a selling restriction capped at a maximum of 13.5% of daily volume.
After completion of the Capital Increase, and taking into account in particular commitments to subscribe for shares by offsetting receivables and planned repayments from the net proceeds of the transaction, the Company's gross financial debt will be around €6.25 million, with no short-term maturities. These financial debts include:
TIMETABLE OF THE CAPITAL INCREASE
SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
The Capital Increase will be carried out with shareholders maintaining their preferential subscription rights, and with the option to subscribe for shares on an irreducible basis, on a reducible basis and on an unrestricted basis.
Each shareholder will receive one preferential subscription right for each share registered in his or her securities account at the close of trading on March 15, 2024. In order to guarantee registration in the share account on this date, orders for existing shares on the Euronext Growth Paris market must be executed no later than March 13, 2024.
1 PSR held or purchased will entitle their holders to subscribe for 120 New Shares on an irreducible basis. The PSRs will be detached on March 14, 2024, listed and tradable until March 25, 2024 inclusive on the Euronext Growth Paris market under ISIN code FR001400ONI6.
Each subscription must be accompanied by payment of the subscription price, in cash and/or by offsetting receivables.
You have PSRs attached to your Tonner Drones shares, entitling you to subscribe in priority to the New Shares on the basis of 120 New Shares for 1 PSR on an irreducible basis.
In addition to irreducible subscriptions made by means of the PSRs you hold, you may also make reducible subscriptions until March 27, 2024 for the number of New Shares you wish, by sending your request, at the same time as your irreducible subscription request, to your authorized financial intermediary.
You may subscribe to the Capital Increase in one of two ways:
DILUTION
Impact of the Capital Increase on the shareholder's situation
For information purposes, the impact of the issue of the New Shares on the shareholding of a shareholder holding 1% of the Company's share capital prior to the Capital Increase and not subscribing to it would be as follows:
(1) Taking into account warrants allotted or issued by the Company as of the date of this press release, with the exception of Fiducie A's equitization warrants, since dilution cannot be determined for these warrants, as it depends in particular on average stock market prices prior to the exercise request.
It should be noted that the dilution linked to the convertible bonds has not been taken into account insofar as the investors who hold them have undertaken to participate in the Capital Increase by offsetting receivables via these same convertible bonds.
(2) Calculations based on the number of shares comprising the share capital at the date of this press release, i.e., 1,659,093 Tonner Drones shares.
Impact of the capital increase on shareholders' equity
For information purposes, the impact of the issue of New Shares on the Company's share of shareholders' equity per share (calculated on the basis of consolidated shareholders' equity on June 30, 2023 taking into account the various capital increases and the capital reduction carried out since then) would be as follows:
(1) Taking into account warrants allotted or issued by the Company as of the date of this press release, with the exception of Fiducie A's equitization warrants, since dilution cannot be determined for these warrants, as it depends in particular on average stock market prices prior to the exercise request.
It should be noted that the dilution linked to the convertible bonds has not been taken into account insofar as the investors who hold them have undertaken to participate in the Capital Increase by offsetting receivables via these same convertible bonds.
(2) Calculations based on the number of shares comprising the share capital at the date of this press release, i.e., 1,659,093 Tonner Drones shares.
Impact of the Capital Increase on the shareholder structure
The following tables show the breakdown of share capital before and after completion of the Capital Increase in the event of completion of 100% of the Capital Increase:
(1) Company controlled by Mr. Jean-François OTT, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(2) Company controlled by Mr. Bradley TAYLOR, CEO of the Company.
(3) Taking into account the subscriptions commitments presented above and in the event that the Company does not need to call upon commitments to subscribe on a free basis in order to ensure the completion of the Capital Increase at 100%.
(4) Taking into account the subscription commitments presented above and in the event that the Company needs to fully call upon the commitments to subscribe on a free basis in order to ensure the completion of the Capital Increase at 100%.
Suspension of the right to exercise the share warrants and to convert the convertible bonds of the Company
Holders of warrants ( bons de souscription d'actions – BSA) and convertible bonds ( obligations convertibles en actions – OCA) issued by the Company have been informed by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt of the suspension of their right to exercise or convert these securities with effect from March 8, 2024 until April 8, 2024 at midnight Paris time).
RISK FACTORS
The risk factors relating to the Company and its business are detailed in its 2023 half-year report and its 2022 annual financial report , both of which are available free of charge on the Company's website.
The occurrence of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, development or prospects. The risk factors presented in the aforementioned documents remain unchanged as of the date of this press release.
In addition, investors are invited to consider the risks specific to the Capital Increase:
ELIGIBILITY OF THE TRANSACTION FOR THE ARTICLE 150-0 B TER OF THE FRENCH GENERAL TAX CODE (REINVESTMENT OF CAPITAL GAINS) AND ELIGIBILITY OF TONNER DRONES SHARES FOR PEA AND PEA PME-ETI ACCOUNTS
When shares are transferred to a company controlled by the transferor, the capital gain is tax-deferred (Article 150-0 B ter of the French General Tax Code ( Code général des impôts )). If the contributed shares are sold within three years, the tax deferral is terminated, unless the Company undertakes to reinvest 60% of the proceeds of the sale in an economic activity within two years of the sale. In particular, the proceeds may be invested in a cash subscription to the initial capital or to a capital increase in one or more companies that meet the conditions of business activity, corporate income tax liability and head office location set out in a of 2° of I of Article 150-0 B ter and in the first paragraph of b and c of 3° of II of Article 150-0 D ter of the French General Tax Code. In this respect, the capital increase constitutes a reinvestment eligible for capital gains tax relief insofar as the nature of the reinvestment is concerned.
Other conditions for applying the scheme, which are independent of the Company (reinvestment deadline and threshold, retention of new shares, etc.), must also be complied with by the subscriber. Investors likely to benefit from this regime are advised to consult their usual tax advisor to assess their personal situation with regard to the specific regulations applicable.
Finally, Tonner Drones points out that it complies with the eligibility criteria for the PEA PME-ETI schemes specified in Articles L. 221-32-2 and D. 221-113-5 and seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code ( Code monétaire et financier ). As a result, Tonner Drones shares can be fully integrated into stock savings plans (PEA) and PEA PME-ETI accounts, which benefit from the same tax advantages as the classic PEA.
PROSPECTUS
In accordance with the provisions of Article L. 411-2-1 1° of the French Monetary and Financial Code and Articles 211-2 and 211-3 of the General Regulations of the French Financial Markets Authority ( Autorité des marchés financiers - " AMF "), the Capital Increase does not give rise to a prospectus subject to approval by the AMF insofar as the total amount of the offering calculated over a twelve-month period does not exceed €8,000,000.
