Results of the Offering of Green Bonds of Liven AS
The public offering of Liven AS (hereinafter Liven) unsecured green bonds (hereinafter the Offering) ended on Thursday, 16 May 2024. It was the first series under Liven’s newly established unsecured bond programme, which was conducted based on the base prospectus of bonds program approved by the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority on 5 May 2024.
In the course of the Offering, up to 4,000 unsecured bonds with the name of EUR 10,5% Liven green bond 24‑2028, with the nominal value 1,000 euros each, the maturity date 23 May 2028 and fixed interest rate of 10.5% per annum, payable quarterly (first interest payment will be made on 23 August 2024), were offered by Liven.

-
All subscription orders made by the same subscriber were summed up;
-
Any necessary rounding was done upwards;
-
Each subscription, including by a subscriber who participated in an institutional offer, for up to 1,000 euros was fully satisfied and each subscriber was allocated at least 30% of the volume of their subscriptions;
-
The subscription orders from each client and employee were fully satisfied up to 4,000 euros, and 65% of the remaining unmet demand was fulfilled;
-
The subscription orders from each existing investor of the issuer were fully satisfied up to 3,000 euros, and 50% of the remaining unmet demand was fulfilled;
-
The subscription orders from subscribers previously known to the issuer who had expressed and registered their investment interest were fully satisfied up to 2,000 euros, and 30% of the remaining unmet demand was fulfilled;
-
The principles described in points 4-6 were not applied cumulatively;
-
The 33,000 euros worth of bonds that were not allocated under the previous principles were distributed proportionally within the institutional allocation.
Andero Laur, Chairman of Liven's Management Board, thanked all investors who participated in the public offering for their confidence in the company's strategy and growth prospects. He also thanked LHV Pank for organising the public offering of green bonds, and the legal advisor, Ellex Raidla law firm. "The results of the public offering exceeded expectations, not only in terms of the volume of bonds subscribed but also in the large number of participating investors. It was gratifying to see that among the subscribers were Liven’s clients, employees, and previous investors, and that the institutional investors also found the offering attractive," said Liven's CEO Andero Laur.
The Bonds are expected to be transferred to the securities accounts of investors on or about 23 May 2024 and the first trading day of the bonds on the Baltic Bonds List of Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange is expected to be on or about 24 May 2024.
