VIKTIG ANGÅENDE RISIKO – se prospekt for komplett informasjon
En investering i aksjene i Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA ("Norwegian" eller "Selskapet" og sammen med dets konsoliderte datterselskaper, "Konsernet") innebærer en særlig høy grad av risiko. Selskapet har blitt hardt rammet av det nåværende utbruddet av COVID-19. I løpet av en veldig kort tidsperiode har Konsernet tapt mesteparten av inntektene, selskapet har store finansielle problemer og risikerer konkurs. Dette har i vesentlig grad påvirket Konsernets kontrakter, rettigheter og forpliktelser, inkludert finansieringsordninger, negativt. Selskapet er i dag ikke i stand til å overholde sine løpende forpliktelser og er i brudd under sine finanseringsavtaler.
Den 18. november 2020 søkte Norwegian og enkelte datterselskaper om å starte rettsstyrt rekonstruksjon i Irland («Examinership») (som ble akseptert av domstolen 7. desember 2020), og den 8. desember 2020 søkte Norwegian om, og ble akseptert til, rekonstruksjonsprosess i Norge.
Disse prosessene ble sanksjonert av henholdsvis Irske og Norske domstoler 26. mars 2021 og 12. april 2021. Gjennomføringen av prosessene er imidlertid betinget av ankefrister og visse andre vilkår, herunder (men ikke begrenset til), en kapitalinnhenting på minst NOK 4 500 000 000 (bestående av en fortrinnsrettsemisjon, en rettet emisjon og utstedelse av konvertible hybrid instrumenter som beskrevet i prospekt publisert av Selskapet 6. mai 2021, bestående av et sammendrag, et verdipapirdokument og et registreringsdokument, alt datert 6. mai 2021 (samlet omtalt som «Prospektet»). Målet er å vesentlig redusere gjeldsnivået, redusere størrelsen på virksomheten og rekapitalisere Konsernet med gjeld og egenkapital. Dersom Norwegian ikke kommer ut av rekonstruksjonsprosessene på en tilfredsstillende måte, er det svært sannsynlig at Norwegian vil gå inn i likvidasjonsprosess og/eller konkursprosess i løpet av andre eller tredje kvartal i 2021.
Effekten av det nåværende utbruddet av COVID-19, som beskrevet ovenfor, har også medført en betydelig nedgang i aksjekursen for Selskapet. Det er ingen garanti for den fremtidige kursutviklingen til aksjene. Svingningene i aksjekursen, de ekstraordinære markedsforholdene og den ekstraordinære finansielle situasjonen til Selskapet har resultert i lavere visibilitet for fremtiden og kan ha innvirkning på hvordan aksjene prises i markedet. Dette har gjort det utfordrende å fastsette tilbudsprisen, og det er ingen garanti for at tilbudsprisen vil reflektere den fremtidige markedsverdien til Selskapet. Det er en vesentlig risiko for at aksjene vil handles til en kurs som er lavere enn tilbudsprisen og dermed resultere i tap av investeringen i tilbudsaksjene.
Utstedelsen av de nye aksjene vil øke antallet utstedte aksjer i Selskapet betydelig, og dermed utvanne de eksisterende aksjene betydelig, også eksisterende aksjonærer som får tildelt og utøver tegningsretter i fortrinnsrettsemisjonen. Salg av et betydelig antall av de nye aksjene, eller en forventning om et slikt salg, kan ha en vesentlig negativ effekt på kursen Selskapets aksjer handles for - eller til og med aksjeeiernes mulighet til å selge sine aksjer til attraktive betingelser, i tide eller i det hele tatt. Ovennevnte risikoer er bare noen få utvalgte risikoer forbundet med en investering i aksjene i Norwegian. For full oversikt over risikoene forbundet med en investering i aksjene i Norwegian, se kapittel 1 "Risikofaktorer" i Prospektet, herunder både registreringsdokumentet og verdipapirdokumentet som er tilgjengelig på [inkluder link]. Potensielle investorer bør lese hele prospektet, og særlig ta i betraktning kapitlene 1 "Risikofaktorer" dersom man vurderer å investere i Selskapet.
