Reason for the Rights Issue and use of proceeds
To ensure the Company's working capital needs, and to execute on the market potential of Digital Cash via accelerating current integration projects and thereby focusing on building long-term shareholder value, as well as restructure the Company’s financial position by repaying the current loans from the Company’s major shareholders, the Board has resolved to carry out the Rights Issue.

The net proceeds are intended to be used in the order of priority below:

  • SEK 25 million: repay loan; and
  • SEK 24 million: development, marketing and sales efforts; and
  • SEK 10.4 working capital.

If all warrants in the Rights Issue are exercised, the Company will receive an additional maximum of approximately SEK 64.4 million before deduction of issue costs of approximately maximum SEK 1.5 million. The additional net proceeds are intended to be distributed as follows and if not all measures can be implemented, according to the priorities below.

  • 34%: development; and
  • 33%: sales and marketing; and
  • 33%: working capital.

Crunchfish exits Food Waste business

2021-09-03|

Crunchfish’s business area Food Waste was based on a granted Swedish patent. The patent has been challenged and after careful analysis, Crunchfish has concluded that the patent will not stand and that a potentially modified patent will not be sufficient to build the business. Crunchfish has therefore decided to exit its operations in the Food Waste segment. 

Crunchfish is increasingly focusing on Digital Cash and with the conclusion that the granted patent within food waste will not stand and that a potentially modified patent will not be sufficiently broad to build a viable business, Crunchfish has decided to exit Food Waste business segment.

As a consequence, Linda Kronby, CEO of Crunchfish Food Waste AB and CEO Blippit AB, will leave the company by the end of November. Patrik Lindeberg, CEO of Crunchfish Digital Cash AB, will assume the role as CEO of Blippit AB after this period.

”After careful analysis we have concluded that it will be difficult to build a viable business in the food waste area as our patent right will not stand as granted. A decision to exit this business is therefore best for the company as we are increasingly focusing on Digital Cash. I want to thank Linda Kronby for her contributions and wish her all the best for her future career.”, says Joachim Samuelsson, CEO of Crunchfish.

Styrelsen i Crunchfish AB (publ), org. nr 556804-6493, kallar härmed till extra bolagsstämma torsdagen den 16 september 2021.

På grund av det fortsatt osäkra läget med pågående smittspridning av det virus som orsakar covid-19, har styrelsen beslutat att stämman ska genomföras utan fysisk närvaro av aktieägare, ombud eller utomstående och att aktieägare ska ha möjlighet att utöva sin rösträtt endast genom poströstning innan stämman. Information om de av bolagsstämman fattade besluten offentliggörs på bolagets hemsida den 16 september 2021, så snart utfallet av poströstningen är slutligt sammanställd.
