Clean Industry Solutions Holding Europe AB

THE TRANSACTION IN SHORT

Background and Motive

Clean Industry Solutions invests in independently operating innovative companies which provide solutions for a sustainable industry and a circular economy. The current two subsidiaries, Industrial Solar and SolarSpring, offer solutions for the supply of clean energy and clean water for industry. Industrial Solar and SolarSpring are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Clean Industry Solutions.

 

Industrial Solar focuses on delivering cutting-edge technologies and services for clean energy solutions in the industrial sector. By leveraging renewable energy sources on-site and employing efficient technologies, Industrial Solar effectively integrates renewables into the energy supply of its industrial clients. This approach not only reduces energy costs but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial sector.
SolarSpring specializes in membrane distillation, offering advanced technologies for waste and drinking water treatment. Through the use of membrane technology, SolarSpring provides comprehensive solutions to address water-related challenges. They develop customized membrane distillation plants, ultrafiltration plants for drinking water treatment, and laboratory membrane solutions. With a focus on pre- and post-treatment processes and smart plant operation, SolarSpring ensures optimal performance and value for their customers.

Clean Industry Solutions recognizes the shifting energy demands in the market caused by external and environmental factors, and they view this as an opportunity for their business. As Europe undergoes a transition from gas to alternative energy sources, Clean Industry Solutions is observing increased interest from potential customers who are seeking the Company’s solutions.

This infusion of funds from the Rights Issue will enable Clean Industry Solutions to make further investments, undertake new projects, and facilitate the continuous growth of its subsidiaries. Moreover, the company anticipates that the strengthened financial position, coupled with changing market demands, will positively impact discussions and negotiations with both existing and prospective customers.

The net proceeds of approximately SEK 21.2 million from the Rights Issue are intended to finance the Company during the coming twelve months. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the Company intends to primarily use the estimated net proceeds of approximately SEK 21.2 million in the following areas of use, ranked in order of priority:

  • Financing the growth of the subsidiaries, such as recruitments and expansion projects (approximately 35 percent)
  • Working capital for the development of new customer projects (approximately 35 percent)
  • Co-finance publicly funded R&D projects (approximately 20 percent)
  • Initiate new collaborations and invest in joint ventures in target markets (approximately 10 percent)

 

The rights issue is thus carried out to provide Clean Industry Solutions working capital and create better conditions to realize the Company’s strategy and business plan to create value for Clean Industry Solutions’ shareholders and other stakeholders.
