Completion of equity offering and directed issue of new shares raising gross proceeds of DKK 37.3 billion (approx. EUR 5 billion).
Today 4 October 2024, the offering (the “Offering”) of 26,444,523 new shares (the "New Shares") in DSV A/S (“DSV”) has been successfully completed through an accelerated bookbuilding process. The New Shares will be issued as a result of DSV’s Board of Directors exercising the authorisation in Article 4a1 of DSV’s Articles of Association according to which the Board of Directors is authorised to make share capital increases up to nominally DKK 48,000,000. Please refer to company announcement no. 1136 of 3 October 2024.
The offer price is DKK 1,410.50 per share, raising gross proceeds to DSV of DKK 37.3 billion (approximately EUR 5 billion).
The Offering has not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and was made pursuant to applicable exemptions from the obligation to publish a prospectus in Denmark as well as exemptions from the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of other applicable jurisdictions. The Offering was made to institutional investors in Denmark and internationally at market price and without pre-emption rights to DSV’s existing shareholders.
As part of the Offering, the Company allocated cornerstone commitments in respect of DKK 21 billion in aggregate, including USD 1.1 billion from funds and accounts under management by direct and indirect investment management subsidiaries of BlackRock Inc., ~EUR 600 million from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), ~USD 700 million from funds and accounts managed by Capital Group, USD 400 million from Norges Bank Investment Management, a division of Norges Bank, DKK 1.0 billion from BLS Capital Fondsmæglerselskab A/S and DKK 500 million from ATP.
Subject to certain exceptions, DSV has in connection with the Offering agreed to undertake a customary lock-up commitment for a period ending 180 calendar days from settlement of the Offering. In addition, the members of DSV's executive management and board of directors have agreed to undertake a lock-up commitment for a period ending 180 calendar days following the date of settlement of the Offering, subject to certain customary exceptions.
The proceeds from the Offering will be used to partly finance the expected acquisition of Schenker AG from Deutsche Bahn.
As the Offering was oversubscribed, an individual allocation of the New Shares was made.
Capital increase
Subject to settlement of the Offering, after the capital increase has been registered with the Danish Business Authority, the share capital of DSV will consist of 240,444,523 shares of DKK 1.00 each, equivalent to a nominal value of DKK 240,444,523.
The New Shares represent approximately 12.4% of DSV’s registered share capital before the capital increase and will account for approximately 11.0 % of DSV’s registered share capital upon completion of the capital increase.

The temporary ISIN code DK0063294467 will be merged with the existing primary ISIN code for the existing shares, DK0060079531, as soon as possible following registration of the share capital increase with the Danish Business Authority. The temporary ISIN code will not be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen, but only registered in Euronext Securities for subscription of the New Shares.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended or that directive as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act2018, as applicable (“MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in DSV A/S have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the “Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the shares in DSV A/S may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in DSV A/S offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in DSV A/S is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the contemplated share issue. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, BNP PARIBAS, Danske Bank A/S, HSBC Continental Europe S.A., Germany and Nordea Danmark, Filial af Nordea Bank Abp, Finland will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in DSV A/S Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in DSV A/S and determining appropriate distribution channels.
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the shares has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the shares is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the shares to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the shares (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels
