Information document 2025 (Swedish)
The board of directors of Flat Capital AB (publ) (“Flat” or the “Company’” has today resolved on a new share issue with preferential rights for existing holders of B shares of up to approximately SEK 300 million at a subscription price of SEK 16 per B share (the “Rights Issue”). Subscription undertakings of SEK 228 million, corresponding to 76% of the Rights Issue, have been secured from existing shareholders and prominent new investors. Flat, which since 2021 has built a unique portfolio of world leading AI and tech companies, has so far delivered an impressive annual return of approximately 17%, and over 85% on investments made from 2023, including investments such as OpenAI, xAI, Perplexity, SpaceX, and ElevenLabs. The positive development in the portfolio, in combination with a strong pipeline of investment opportunities, is the basis for the board of director’s decision to further strengthen Flat’s position through the Rights Issue. If the Rights Issue is oversubscribed, the Board of Directors may decide to increase the issue amount through an overallotment issue of up to SEK 130 million (the “Overallotment Issue”).
Background and reasons
Since its listing in 2021, Flat has maintained a high pace and pursued its strategy of investing in attractive but hard-to-reach global companies to deliver maximum returns to its shareholders. Flat’s strong network and reputation has resulted in investments in prominent companies such as OpenAI, SpaceX, DeepL, Perplexity, xAI, Physical Intelligence, Figma and ElevenLabs. By being listed, Flat enables exposure to otherwise inaccessible companies and without the costly fee model of traditional VC funds, which provides conditions for a more attractive return. The strategy has been successful so far, with significant growth in several of the portfolio companies and a number of successful divestments. One example is the sale of Flat's holding in Truecaller during the year for a value of approximately SEK 41.5 million, corresponding to a return of approximately 3.8x or an annual return (IRR) of +51% for shareholders who have participated since the listing. These results demonstrate Flat's ability to identify the right companies early and create significant value.
Flat's unique network of world-class investors and entrepreneurs generates a strong pipeline of investment opportunities. Flat is actively evaluating new opportunities and is open to looking at larger investments going forward, safeguarding the flexible investment mandate. Against this background, the purpose of the Rights Issue is to further strengthen Flat's cash position with the support of new and existing shareholders to be able to quickly act on investment opportunities in the portfolio and network.
The Rights Issue and the potential Overallotment Issue will increase the Company's net asset value per share while providing Flat with access to additional capital for value-creating investments, which the board of directors believes benefits all shareholders. The fact that the issue can be carried out at a premium to the net asset value (as of 31 March 2025) of 49% is considered by the board of directors of Flat to be a clear sign that the market has great confidence in the Company's portfolio and strategy.
