The Norwegian Government will convert half of its NOK1.2 billion ($115 million) rescue loan to Norwegian Group, the parent company of Norwegian Air Shuttle and Norwegian Air Sweden, into a 6.37% equity stake.

Converting the loan to equity

Filings from the Oslo stock exchange have shown that a total of 65,582,436 new shares will be issued by May 27. With one half of the $115 million rescue loan being converted into equity, the other half ($59 million) will be repaid in full. As a whole, the transaction will see a return for the Norwegian Government of $82.6 million, providing a $23.6 million profit that they will welcome with open arms.

The deal has been praised within the Norwegian government, more specifically by trade minister Cecilie Myrseth. They said:

“Norwegian is now in a position where it can repay the loan, after the reconstruction and the subsequent work that the company has put in. The agreement we have made with Norwegian gives the state a significant gain”

Norwegian’s market growth

Currently, the top 20 shareholders in Norwegian control 53.7% of the airline, with the remaining 46.3% being controlled by a myriad of other investors. The key shareholders are Geveran Trading Company, Ltd. (14.53%), Folketrygdfondet (8.72%), DNB Asset Management AS (4.33%), and Ballyfin Aviation Limited (3.27%).

The deal goes a long way to highlight the strengthened financial position of Norwegian Air Shuttle, its cost-efficient operation and expansion in Europe. It also clearly shows that the government is confident in Norwegian’s progress and that the only way is up from here.
