The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Otovo, a home energy service provider whose operations include branded retail energy supply, announced the successful completion of a private placement raising approximately NOK 161 million (approximately $16.6 million) through the issuance of approximately 14.0 million new shares (the "Offer Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 11.50 per Offer Share (the "Offer Price").
The financing included participation from new and existing investors, including Encompass Capital Advisors LLC, acting for certain fund entities and managed accounts for which Encompass exercises investment discretion, Franklin Templeton, and Electron.
"This financing marks a major step forward in Otovo’s mission to build the world’s leading home energy service platform at global scale," said William J. (John) Berger, CEO of Otovo.
The net proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund Otovo’s previously announced acquisition of all shares in EnergyAid Inc., a provider of residential solar service and repair solutions in California, Arizona, and Nevada. See more details on the acquisition in our prior story here
A portion of the proceeds may also be used to support major OEM partnership initiatives in Europe, including to support Otovo’s recently announced joint venture with Green Panel to deliver service capabilities across Europe for "a major global OEM", subject to definitive agreements and customary conditions.
Additional uses may include preparatory work related to a potential U.S. dual listing and general corporate purposes, including working capital and transaction-related fees. Otovo is evaluating a potential dual listing in the United States, in addition to its listing on Euronext Oslo Børs, to broaden investor access and support long-term growth, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements, and customary approvals.
