Metaplanet will be issuing a total of 29,000 units. Each unit entitles EVO FUND to purchase 100 common shares. Each subscription right costs 614 yen, resulting in a total issuance price of 17,806,000 yen.
If EVO FUND decides to purchase all the units offered by Metaplanet, they will acquire 2,900,000 common shares with a lower exercise price limit of 1,500 yen. Therefore, Metaplanet stands to gain more than 9,5 billion yen ($62 million) from their 12th Stock Acquisition Rights sale to EVO FUND.
However, the company also noted the transaction is subject to approval from Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
