Oslo – 18 December 2020 – Euronext today congratulates Skitude, the provider of digital platforms for skiers and other mountain enthusiasts, on its listing on Euronext Growth Oslo (ticker code: SKI).
Tech company Skitude Holding AS aims to digitise the market for skiers and other mountain enthusiasts, with a digital platform providing a meeting place between skiers and ski resorts.
Skitude was listed through the private placement of 40,350,794 shares at a price of NOK6.70 per share (€0.633). This includes a total of 29,850,746 new shares, raising gross proceeds of NOK200 million. A total of 5,263,147 shares were over-allotted. Market capitalisation was NOK551 million (€52.5 million4) on the first day of listing. The private placement was well covered and attracted strong interest from Norwegian, Nordic and international high-quality institutional investors.
The listing on Euronext Growth is an important step in Skitude’s long-term vision to create a one-stop shop that offers all services related to mountain activities. The net proceeds from the primary offering will predominantly be used to accelerate organic growth, finance M&A and for general corporate purposes.
Marc Bigas, CEO and co-founder of Skitude, said: “Over the past nine years we have developed a unique technological platform with 1.8 million app users. And the journey has just begun. With the listing of Skitude, we will be stronger and better equipped to pursue Skitude's ambition: To digitalize the world's alpine ski resorts.”
Bent Grøver, Chairman of the Board of Skitude and Investment Manager at Investinor, stated: “The Private Placement and listing will help accelerate our growth as the world's leading player in a significant, but fragmented market with a very strong customer base. We are currently looking at investing in a number of companies and initiatives to bring the alpine world together under one digital platform.”
