Biosergen has secured 100 percent of the warrants of series TO3 approximately SEK 44.9 million
Biosergen AB (”Biosergen” or the "Company") has received subscription commitments and top underwriting commitments totaling approximately SEK 44.9 million, corresponding to approximately 100 percent of the issue proceeds that the Company could raise through the exercise of warrants of series TO3 (the "Warrants"). The subscription commitments amount to approximately SEK 29.9 million, corresponding to 66.5 percent of the Warrants, and have been provided by Östersjöstiftelsen, CEO Tine Kold Olesen, CFO Niels Laursen, CMO Peder M. Andersen, and several major warrant holders. The top underwriting commitments amount to approximately SEK 15.1 million, corresponding to approximately 33.5 percent of the Warrants and will be engaged if the Warrants are not exercised up to 100 percent. The top underwriting commitments have been entered into by a few external professional investors. The exercise period runs from November 18, 2024, to November 29, 2024.
The Company's greatest shareholder, Östersjöstiftelsen, CEO Tine Kold Olesen, CFO Niels Laursen, CMO Peder M. Andersen, and several of the Company's major warrant holders have provided subscription commitments totaling approximately SEK 29.9 million, corresponding to approximately 66.5 percent of the issue proceeds the Company could raise through the exercise of the Warrants. In addition, a few external professional investors have signed underwriting commitments totaling approximately SEK 15.1 million, corresponding to approximately 33.5 percent of the issue proceeds the Company could raise through the exercise of the Warrants. The underwriting commitments means that if not all Warrants are exercised for the subscription of shares in the Company, the underwriting consortium will subscribe for shares through a directed issue in the Company (the "Directed Issue"), equivalent to the number of shares that would otherwise have been issued if all Warrants had been exercised between approximately 66.5 and 100 percent.
“We are proud to have secured full funding through the warrants, thanks to the strong commitment of our principal shareholders, management and external investors. This gives us both stability and the opportunity to drive the development of BSG005 forward with full force.” says Anna Ljung, Chairman of the Board of Biosergen
“Securing 100 percent of the potential proceeds through underwriting and top-up commitments sends a strong signal to the market. We now look forward to fully dedicating our time to BSG005 and the ongoing proof-of-concept study evaluating the safety and efficacy of BSG005 as a rescue treatment for patients with life-threatening fungal infections.” says Tine Olesen, CEO of Biosergen
The Board of Directors of Biosergen intends to decide on the potential Directed Issue to the underwriting consortium, based on the authorization granted at the Annual General Meeting on June 14, 2024. The subscription price in the Directed Issue will in such cases be at the same subscription price as the Warrants, i.e. SEK 0.49 per share. The Board of Directors will only decide on the Directed Issue if the Warrants are not exercised in full (100 percent). In such a case, the shares in the Directed Issue will be allocated pro rata among all underwriters in proportion to their respective underwritten amount. A decision on the Directed Issue, if applicable, will be announced through a separate press release.
The subscription commitments and underwriting commitments have been agreed upon in writing and are not secured through primary transactions, bank guarantees, pledges, or similar. Compensation for the underwriting commitments has been set to either ten (10) percent of the underwritten amount paid out in in cash, or twelve (12) percent of the underwritten amount in newly issued shares. No compensation will be paid for the subscription commitments.
If all the warrants of series TO3 are exercised, the Company will receive approximately SEK 44.9 million before issuing costs. To prevent the warrants expiring without value, the holder must actively subscribe for new shares, no later than November 29, 2024. Please be aware that certain nominees may close their application earlier than November 29, 2024.
