Bo Bay Hougaard, who took up the position of Director at FC Helsingør A/S on 1 January 2023, takes over the majority of the shares in FC Helsingør A/S.
Lasse Lindblad hereby passes the baton on, through a 100 % transfer of the capital in Newco FC Helsingør ApS, to Bo Bay Hougaard, who contributes both his work effort and an additional cash investment in the Club.
Together with a number of new investors, Lasse has ensured that FC Helsingør is on the right track, and Bo’s takeover of the majority shareholding is the next natural step in the plan to create a broadly based shareholder group with local roots in North Zealand. Through the company Finansmanagement ApS, Lasse will represent approx. 15% of the capital in FC Helsingør A/S.
I am pleased that I have been able to contribute to the club’s survival since the acquisition back in August 2022 by injecting capital and significant personal resources, says Lasse Lindblad.
Lasse’s commitment makes a significant difference for FC Helsingør, and we are very pleased that Lasse will continue to be both a board member and sponsor in the club, while the investor group will be both long-term and loyal, says chairman of the board Finn Moseholm.
I feel best when I have my hand on the hotplate, and I have received good feedback from various stakeholders in connection with my appointment at FC Helsingør; I am therefore very positive about establishing a broad investor group. We need to create a club with a broad investor base, a balanced economy, a strong academy and high sporting ambitions, says Bo Bay Hougaard.
There are several examples of clubs in Denmark and abroad that have managed both to generate operating profit and achieve good sporting results. We should learn from them and create our own sustainable model. With the new setup, we are well on our way, says chairman of the board Finn Moseholm.
At the general meeting in October 2022, all shares were given equal voting rights, meaning that the minority shareholders who previously subscribed for shares can vote on an equal footing with other shareholders.
The forthcoming expansion of the shareholder base will take place through a subscription of shares at a price of 100, and this, together with the implementation of the new strategy, will ensure that the value of the "old shares" has not been lost. However, the percentage ownership will be smaller if you, as a current shareholder, choose not to participate in the forthcoming expansion of the share capital. We will invite all current shareholders to an information meeting so that everyone can gain insight into the strategy and the share subscription, promises Bo Bay Hougaard.
FC Helsingør will establish a corporate structure that ensures current and future shareholders can invest with free funds, company funds, pension funds and funds taxed under the rules of the Danish corporate tax scheme. This provides the greatest possible flexibility for the shareholders, says the director.
