Quimper, 14 September 2021 – Entech, the technology company specialised in smart renewable energy storage and management, is announcing the launch of its initial public offering with a view to listing its shares for trading on the Euronext Growth market in Paris.
On 13 September 2021, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) approved, under number 21-395, the prospectus relating to Entech’s initial public offering.

“The acceleration of renewables within the energy mix is being made possible by technology: Entech’s mission is to empower this transition, capitalising on advanced know-how for managing renewables and their specific features. With a track record of over 230 projects completed in five years, and a technology and business model that have been validated, Entech is looking to transition to a new phase in its development today. By bringing on board skills in terms of R&D and sales, as well as increased visibility and financing, we will be able to deploy our expertise on a growing number of increasingly large-scale projects, while covering a larger section of the value chain. This proposed initial public offering is therefore being carried out at the right time to support the acceleration of our development”, confirms Christopher Franquet, Entech’s Chairman, CEO and co-founder.

Entech: empowering the large-scale integration of renewables

Renewables are an increasingly important part of the energy mix, which is leading to new technological challenges, linked to their intermittent nature. Today, the constant variations in power and frequency that are involved with these energy sources are disrupting power grids and threatening their stability. Entech’s business involves providing energy producers with technological solutions to drive continued progress with the large-scale integration of renewables.

Entech’s core activities are the design, development and industrialisation of renewable energy generation and storage solutions, benefiting from smart supervision and power grid management systems. This combination of advanced expert capabilities enables its clients to increase the efficiency of their facilities – by notably reducing the response times of energy systems – while optimising their load management and return on investment. Entech covers both on-grid and off-grid facilities and provides production and storage solutions for green hydrogen (i.e. from renewable energies). The Company’s ability to operate all of these complex technologies and equipment with a high level of efficiency, regardless of where they are located or how they operate, thanks in particular to proprietary software solutions, is a key factor for Entech’s success.

Extensive references already secured five years on from its launch

Since it was founded in 2016, Entech has already carried out more than 230 local, national and international projects (Africa, Asia) for the energy market’s leading firms. It operates primarily in mainland France and French overseas departments, regions and communities, as well as in West Africa for the microgrid business. Its clients are developers, producers, grid operators and municipalities.

Its capacity for innovation has been recognised with a number of awards: for instance, Entech won the Green Tech Verte award in 2016, the InnoEnergy award in 2018 and the ADEME innovation competition in 2018. Very recently, Entech was chosen by Mission French Tech, in partnership with the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition, as one of the 20 French startups for the Green20 programme, bringing together new technological champions for the green transition with robust potential for growth.

Technological and commercial foundations supporting strong growth

With an engineering department, made up of 35 specialist engineers, who represent more than half of the workforce (68 staff to date), Entech has a strong capacity for innovation, enabling it to accompany or even anticipate technological trends on a rapidly evolving market. The experience gained on dozens of projects also enables it to offer turnkey solutions that can be replicated, helping accelerate its development and further strengthen the profitability of its projects.

Thanks to its combination of transversal expertise focused on smart energy management, conversion and storage through a software solution that integrates big data and machine learning, Entech is a market leader in the renewables sector. This know-how is grouped together within its new E-Factory headquarters, inaugurated in March 2021, which represents a powerful and virtuous industrial tool, as well as a showcase for the systemic energy transition’s technical and economic benefits. It illustrates Entech’s capacity for acceleration in its three areas: renewable energy storage, green hydrogen production and storage, and PV power plant design and installation.

2021 revenue target of €17m already secured, with €130m by 2025

Thanks to the financial resources and visibility provided by the stock market, the Company is targeting revenues of around €130m and an EBITDA margin of around 20% by 2025 (year ending 31 March 2026). This acceleration is supported by:

• Accelerating the Company’s commercial deployment and further strengthening its training programmes, thanks in particular to the recruitment of 30 sales staff and the opening of new offices in France and around the world (€8m);
• Consolidating the Company’s technological lead through an active R&D policy, focused in particular on developing software tools and industrialising products, notably linked to green hydrogen and electric mobility (€8m);
• Ramping up co-development projects across the board, with regional institutional organisations and private developers-operators, in order to position itself upstream on projects and increase the recurrence of its revenues (€3.8m)
• Early redemption of the OCA 2 (subscribed in November 2018 by UNEXO and FORCE 29) (€0.5m).

If the Offer is limited to 75% (estimated net proceeds of €12.6 million based on an Offer Price at the bottom of the price range), the net proceeds to be received (to which should be added the €3 million received following the subscription in September 2021 of a convertible bond by the FPCI Epopée Transitions 1, bringing the available cash to €15.5 million) would be allocated as a priority to the early redemption of the OCA 2 for €0.5 million, and the balance in equal parts (i.e. €7.5 million) to the objectives of accelerating the commercial roll-out and strengthening the training programmes, as well as consolidating the Company’s technological lead through an active R&D policy. The self-financing generated by the Company will make up the €1 million (difference between the €8 million requirement and the €7.5 million available for the two main objectives) required. The limitation of the Offer to 75% will not call into question the Company’s strategy or the speed of its deployment. The turnover (€130 million) and EBITDA (>20%) targets for 2025 would not be called into question.

Entech generated €9.4m of revenues in 2020 (year ended 31 March 2021) and is forecasting €17m of revenues for the current financial year, already fully secured through the orders received.

Entech’s development is aligned with a sustainable development approach, notably illustrated by the Company’s sustainability rating by EthiFinance in March 2021 based on Environment, Social and Governance criteria, with a score of 77/100. This rating corresponds to an “Exemplary” level of performance on the Gaïa Rating / EthiFinance scale.

Conversion of convertible bonds

Entech has carried out the following operations:

• in November 2018, it carried out an OCA 1 convertible bond issue (3%, maturing in 2025, with subscribers committed to converting into shares on the day when the custodian’s certificate is issued for the funds corresponding to the capital increase carried out in connection with the Company’s initial public offering) for a nominal total of €500k, subscribed for by UNEXO and FORCE 29. The conversion of these convertible bonds will be based on one OCA 1 bond for 480 Entech shares, with 410,400 Company shares to be issued;
• in September 2021, it carried out an OCA 2021 convertible bond issue (3%, maturing in 2022) for a nominal total of €3m, subscribed for by a fund managed by Epopée Gestion. The conversion of these OCA 2021 would result in the creation of between 375,469 and 507,614 shares following the IPO.

Tax arrangements

Payments for direct subscriptions to invest in Entech’s capital may be entitled to a 25% income tax reduction in France, in accordance with Article 199 terdecies-0 A of the French general tax code (Code Général des Impôts) and the 2019 French Finance Bill. Investors that may be entitled to this income tax reduction are invited to consult their usual tax adviser in order to assess their personal situation in relation to the specific regulations applicable.
Entech complies with the “PEA-PME” eligibility criteria set by Articles L.221-32-2 and D.221-113-5 et seq of the French monetary and financial code (Code monétaire et financier). The Entech shares can therefore be fully integrated into share savings plans (PEA) and SME share savings plan (PEA-PME) accounts, which have the same tax benefits as the standard share savings plan (PEA) arrangements.
Entech has also been awarded the Innovative Company label by Bpifrance.

Section 2 – KEY INFORMATION ON THE ISSUER
2.1
Who is the issuer of the securities ?
The issuer is Entech, a public limited company under French law, whose registered office is located at ZA Menez Prat – 11 allée Jean-François de la Pérouse – 29000 QUIMPER.
Applicable law: French law. Country of origin: France.

Entech was created in 2016 by Christopher Franquet and Laurent Meyer. The Company’s core activities are the development and marketing of renewable energy generation and storage solutions, and setting up smart supervision and power grid management systems, enabling its clients to increase the efficiency of their facilities and optimise their return on investment.
The Company’s business covers both on-grid and off-grid facilities, making it possible to create microgrids. It also provides production and storage solutions for green hydrogen (i.e. from renewable energies). The Company is able to offer turnkey services that enable it to stand out from the competition by its ability to manage complex, high value-added projects from end to end: cross-disciplinary skills in energy conversion, smart energy management, interactive supervision interfaces and demonstration of its know-how, in particular through E-Factory, its factory; the design and installation of photovoltaic power plants, the storage of renewable energy and the production and storage of green hydrogen. The Company has become a major player for renewables by building expertise in technological components. The Company applies an open “agnostic” approach in terms of technological choices for the systems deployed, which enables it to gain extensive expertise and capitalise on its return on experience with the various technologies available on the market, while also designing its own software components to ensure effective communication with these diverse technologies. This interoperability is a key asset for any integrator.
The Company is looking to position itself on other links in the value chain, both upstream and downstream, through co-development and operations. The Company is responding positively to the demands of regional institutional organisations and private developers-operators with a view to pooling a project development approach. This covers all three business lines: generation, storage and hydrogen.

Section 4 – KEY INFORMATION ON THE SECURITIES OFFERING
4.1
Under what conditions and according to what schedule can I invest in this security?
Structure of the Offer
The distribution of the Offered Shares is expected to be made as part of a global offer (the “Offer“), comprising:
– a public offering in France in the form of an open price offer, mainly intended for individuals (the “Open Price Offer” or “OPO“), it being specified that :

• Orders will be broken down according to the number of shares requested: A1 order fraction (from 1 share up to and including 250 shares) and A2 order fraction (above 250 shares);
• The A1 order fractions will benefit from a preferential treatment compared to the A2 order fractions in case all the orders could not be fully satisfied;

– an international offering primarily to institutional investors (the “Global Placement“) comprising:

• a placement in France; and
• an international private placement in certain countries excluding, in particular, the United States of America, Japan, Canada and Australia.

If the demand expressed in the framework of the OPO allows it, the number of shares allocated in response to the orders issued in the framework of the OPO will be at least equal to 10% of the number of shares offered in the framework of the Offer (before possible exercise of the Extension Clause).
In the event of insufficient demand, the capital increase envisaged in the framework of the Offer may be limited to the subscriptions received if they reach 75% of the amount of the initially planned issue. If this 75% threshold is not reached, the Offer will be cancelled and the orders will lapse.
Indicative price range
The price of the shares offered in the OPO will be equal to the price of the shares offered in the Global Offering (the “Offer Price“). The Offer Price could be in the range of EUR 5.91 to EUR 7.99 per share, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting on 10 September 2021 (the “Indicative Offer Price Range“). This information is provided for information purposes only and does not in any way prejudge the Offer Price that may be set outside this Indicative Range.
Methods of determining the Offer Price
The Offer Price is expected to be set by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2021 in accordance with the indicative timetable. It will result from the matching of the offer of the shares and the bids made by investors in the context of the Global Offering, according to the technique known as “order book construction” as developed by professional practices.
Gross and net proceeds of the Issue – Expenses related to the Issue
Based on the median price of the Indicative Offer Price Range, i.e. 6.95:

	Issue 75% subscribed *	Issue 100% subscribed	After Extension Clause	After Extension Clause and Over-Allotment Option**
Gross proceeds	€14,030,937	€22,000,003	€25,300,002	€25,300,002

4.2
Why is this Prospectus being prepared ?
Reasons for the Offer – Estimated Net Proceeds – Use of Proceeds
The purpose of this capital increase is to provide the Company with the financial resources necessary to implement its growth strategy. Thus, the estimated net proceeds of the Offering amount to €20.3 million (assuming a 100% issue in the mid price range) will be used to finance the following four strategic objectives
€8m to accelerate commercial deployment and strengthen training programmes:
The Company plans in particular to (1) strengthen its sales force with the recruitment of around 30 people over 5 years. These new resources will enable the Company to intensify its commercial prospection both with existing customers and with potential new customers and will strengthen its capacity to respond to calls for tender; (2) intensify its communication and marketing efforts to accompany and support the sales force and its capacity to recruit; (3) open several offices in France and abroad to increase its presence and its network. The creation of these offices corresponds to the Company’s desire to establish itself in employment areas that facilitate recruitment and to be as close as possible to its clients and the industry players. In some countries, local structures could also be set up to facilitate market access. (4) to strengthen its project management and marketing teams as well as its management staff (at the time of the IPO, the Company plans to recruit approximately 60 employees) (5) to reinforce its training programmes, which may vary according to the field of activity, between 6 and 18 months in order to allow the employee to be fully operational, it being specified that the Company is considering the creation of internal training programmes (“Entech Academy”) dedicated to this training.
€8m to consolidate the technological lead through an active R&D policy
Engineering and innovation are at the core of the Company’s value proposition with engineers representing approximately 60% of the workforce. The Company plans to strengthen its R&D team with profiles mainly specialised in industrial computing, web design, data science, hydrogen systems, thermal and electrical systems. The Company intends to pursue its R&D activity mainly in the following areas (a) accelerating the development of software features (big data, predictive maintenance functionalities, new uses in connection with low-carbon mobility infrastructures, electronic payment and energy flow valuation platform), (b) accelerating the development, standardising and industrialising products linked to the production and use of green hydrogen and (c) electric mobility (charging infrastructure, propulsion systems and mobile power supply for the land and marine sectors) (d) integrating future power electronics technologies. All these developments will be evaluated and may be protected through patenting.
€3.8m to consolidate its position in the value chain by co-developing projects
The Company’s ambition is to regularly intervene as a co-developer in the entire process of photovoltaic, storage or hydrogen projects and to deliver turnkey projects to its customers. The co-development activity has the advantage for the Company of positioning itself very early on in the project process, gaining visibility on the turnkey construction activity, generating recurring revenues through the operation of the power plants and through remuneration on performance or directly on the sale of energy or services by being integrated into the operating company.
The Company is already involved in one project of this type, as co-developer with Energies en Finistère in the context of a project to operate a photovoltaic park on the former Kerjéquel landfill site in Quimper. Given the number of requests to co-develop projects, the Company is already considering participating in 100 co-development projects split over the next five years on a straight-line basis, it being specified that these are operations requiring significant equity capital for the Company.
The implementation of the three major objectives presented above requires the implementation of resources that will be allocated: (1) financing the Company’s working capital requirements inherent in its activity, (2) recruitment plans to strengthen the innovation team in order to maintain the Company’s current technological lead, to strengthen the sales team in order to address new customers in new markets, to increase the number of project managers, and finally, to consolidate certain support functions (in particular, the finance and HR functions), (3) financing co-development, in particular through technical and feasibility studies and the recruitment of business developers and project managers.
€0.5M for the early redemption of the OCA 2
The Company will proceed with the early redemption of the OCA 2 issued in November 2018 for €500K.

The planned IPO will enable the Company to raise the funds necessary to finance its strategy, to strengthen its credibility, particularly financial credibility with certain key accounts for referencing purposes, and to benefit from increased visibility on which it will be able to capitalise to address new markets. The total financing requirement presented in the Company’s development plan is €20 million, it being specified that 16 million is needed to achieve the financial objectives, divided equally between the first two strategic objectives at €8 million each.
If the Offer is limited to 75% (estimated net proceeds of €12.6 million based on an Offer Price at the bottom of the price range), the net proceeds to be received (to which should be added the €3 million received following the subscription in September 2021 of a convertible bond by the FPCI Epopée Transitions 1, bringing the available cash to €15.5 million) would be allocated as a priority to the early redemption of the OCA 2 for €0.5 million, and the balance in equal parts (i.e. €7.5 million) to the objectives of accelerating the commercial roll-out and strengthening the training programmes, as well as consolidating the Company’s technological lead through an active R&D policy. The self-financing generated by the Company will make up the €1 million (difference between the €8 million requirement and the €7.5 million available for the two main objectives) required. The objective of consolidating the Company’s position in the value chain contributes little to the achievement of the development plan and can be financed, relying on its strengthened equity, by additional financing, notably non-dilutive financing from banks. The limitation of the Offer to 75% will not call into question the Company’s strategy or the speed of its deployment. The turnover (€130 million) and EBITDA (>20%) targets for 2025 would not be called into question.
Placement agreement
The Offer will be subject to a placement agreement to be entered into between the Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners and the Company, covering all of the Offering Shares. This agreement does not constitute a performance guarantee within the meaning of Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code. In the event of non-signature or termination of the placement agreement, the subscription orders and the Offer would be retroactively cancelled.
Underwriting: None. – Conflicts of interest: None. – Price Disparity: See below:
The General Meeting of 23 December 2020 allocated 230 warrants as business creator shares (BSPCE) divided into two plans BSPCE 2020-1 and BSPCE 2020-2 giving the right to 110,400 shares for an exercise price of EUR 1.4260 per share. These BSPCE become exercisable in tranches:

• As from 1 April 2021: 80 BSPCE 2020-1 can be exercised
• As from 1 April 2022: 10 BSPCE 2020-1 and 20 BSPCE 2020-2 may be exercised
• As from 1 April 2023: 10 BSPCE 2020-1 and 20 BSPCE 2020-2 may be exercised
• As from 1 April 2024: 10 BSPCE 2020-1 and 20 BSPCE 2020-2 may be exercised
• As from 1 April 2025: 20 BSPCE 2020-1 and 40 BSPCE 2020-2 may be exercised

This exercise price of EUR 1.4260 per share represents a discount of 387.4% to the Median Price of the Indicative Price Range.
The 855 OCA1 issued on 14 November 2018 for a total amount of €500,000 will be converted into shares on the day of delivery of the certificate from the depositary of the funds corresponding to the capital increase carried out in the context of the Company’s IPO. The conversion ratio of 1 new ordinary share of the Company for 1 OCA1 results in a discount of 470.3% to the Median Price of the Indicative Price Range.
