COLEXON Energy AG and Renewagy A/S publicized plans for a merger between the companies. The merger is dependent on the approval of the shareholders’ annual meetings in 2009, but is expected to be effective on 1 January 2009. Renewagy will merge onto COLEXON, which will simultaneously assume the European legal entity of a Societas Europea (SE) and change the company name to COLEXON SE. Shares of the company will be traded in the regulated market.
In the May 2009 Shareholders’ meeting, COLEXON’s management board will propose an increase of the share capital against a contribution in kind with the applicable regulations. Based off of current share prices, the merger’s new entity will have a market capitalization of more than €90 million. The exchange ration is predicted to be at a level equivalent to Renewagy’s valuation factor of two and a half to three times higher than COLEXON.
