Brighter has called upon a ninth Tranche of SEK 5 Million in line with the terms from the financing agreement communicated on the 26thof April 2017. The transaction is carried out through a private placement of convertible notes with warrants attached. It is the final tranche out of a commitment totaling SEK 100 million. It is precised that SEK 88.4 million of Notes of the previous Tranches out of the SEK 95 million have been converted into equity as of today, strengthening the company’s balance sheet.

This investment as part of the agreement as such, serves as a great foundation regarding availability of financial resources for the company’s continuous strategic and product development and enables Brighter to make further progress preparing for the sales and production of Actiste on national and international markets.

“With this last SEK 5 million tranche of the financing agreement with L1 Capital, completing SEK 100 million of convertible notes and associated Warrants to L1 Capital and Brighter’s shareholders, totaling a potential additional SEK 107 million, we can establish that it has been a successful and cost-efficient capital acquisition solution for Brighter and its shareholders. The collaboration with L1 Capital has been the financing backbone for the final development and market introduction preparations for Brighter’s Actiste Diabetes Management as a Service. We are particularly satisfied with the shareholder value created by the issuance of the Shareholder Warrants, minimizing dilution relative to the convertible notes and generating trading in the securities TO3 and TO4. The L1 Capital funds have been instrumental in positioning Brighter for the roll out of Actiste,” says Truls Sjöstedt, CEO Brighter.

In connection with this transaction, Brighter will, similarly to the previous Tranches, also issue free warrants to existing shareholders, to protect them against dilution. The record date to receive one (1) free shareholder warrant (TO4) for every one hundred thirty seven (137) shares is January 9, 2019, which means that the last day of trading of shares including the right to receive TO4 is January 7, 2019. The first day of trading in the share excluding the right to TO4 will be January 8, 2019. The free shareholder warrants are of the same type as the investor’s.

Highlights about the transaction:

  • Ninth Tranche issued under a Private placement of SEK 5 million launched today through the issuance of Notes with Warrants attached.
  • Upon the full exercise of the Warrants of the previous and this ninth Tranches and the related Shareholders Warrants, the investment can reach an additional SEK 96.6 million. It is reminded that Brighter already received SEK 10.6 million from the exercise of Warrants TO3 and TO4 on previous exercise periods.
  • L1 Capital and Brighter have agreed that the Warrants issued under this ninth Tranche shall be the same as those issued under the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eight Tranches, i.e. TO4, in order to maintain a visible and simplified structure of the instruments already admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North.
  • The Warrants TO4, issued from the reserve held by Brighter One AB, expire on 8 September 2020 and are immediately detached from the Notes. Each Warrant gives right to subscribe for one (1) new share in Brighter at a fixed strike price of SEK 6.01, subject to standard adjustments.
  • The Warrants will be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North, together with the existing TO4 already traded under the same ISIN code.
  • Assuming the exercise of all the Warrants before their maturity, the Investor will be entitled to subscribe for a further maximum number of 415,973 shares, subject to standard adjustments.

The Notes:

  • Principal amount of SEK 100,000 per Note.
  • Interest free.
  • Maturity of 18 months.
  • Conversion price 6% discount over the reference price. (Reference price is the lowest daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the 15 trading days preceding the conversion date).
  • Brighter has the option to remit cash or shares in the capital.

The Warrants:

  • Expire on 8 September 2020.
  • Strike price is SEK 6.01
  • Number of Warrants per tranche to the Investor is the tranche amount divided by (strike price multiplied by two).
  • As close as possible to 130% of Warrants are issued to Brighter’s shareholders per tranche as a protection mechanism against dilution.
