Comment from the CEO
“One of the strongest reasons why I have thrived at Terranet during the eight months that have passed since I took over as CEO is the great commitment and drive I see in the company, both from employees and from the board. We are making great progress at a rapid pace, and this capital raising is just the right time to be able to continue to push our development to get a product out on the market. The fact that we have strong support from our main owner with strong engagement in the company is a clear sign of the potential we see and will achieve”, says Magnus Andersson, CEO of the group company Terranet AB

Background and rationale in summary

Terranet is currently in an expansive development phase of BlincVision, where a number of milestones need to be met before the product can be standardized and commercialized. The high demands placed on technology in the automotive industry means that the development phase is capital intensive, mainly when it comes to conducting the internal development of the product’s hardware, and to produce prototypes together with external partners as well as to recruit and maintain the right competence within the Company.

In order to be able to carry out the necessary development work required to commercialize BlincVision and refinance the Company’s outstanding loan, Terranet’s board has perceived a need for capital injection and is therefore carrying out the Rights Issue.

The proceeds from the Rights Issue and warrants of series TO6 and TO7 shall be primarily used for:

  • Internal development work as well as marketing and sales activities of BlincVision, approximately 50 percent
  • Delivering costs for development and production of prototypes of BlincVision, approximately 30 percent
  • Amortization of loan, approximately 20 percent
