Copenhagen, Denmark, 7 March 2024 – The board of directors in Brain+ A/S (“Brain+” or “the Company”) has today resolved to amend the terms for the upcoming exercise of warrants of series TO 3. With the amendment, the previously announced minimum and maximum price levels for subscription of new shares in the company based on the warrants have been eliminated. Following this amendment, the exercise price for the warrants of series TO 3 has been set at DKK 0.11 per new share subscribed, representing a 33% discount to the closing price of the Company’s shares on 6 March 2024.
Further, the first day of the exercise period for warrants of series TO 3 has been changed from Friday 8 March 2024 to Monday 11 March 2024, meaning the exercise period will run for 10 trading days from Monday 11 March 2024 up to and including Friday 22 March 2024 (a shorter exercise period is likely to be set by some custodian banks).
Background and motivation for the amended TO 3 warrant terms
Brain+ completed a pre-emptive rights issue of units in May 2023. As part of the issue, a total of 28,542,348 warrants of series TO 3 were issued. Each warrant gives the holder the right to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company. The exercise price for warrants of series TO 3 was to be determined as 70% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market calculated over a period of 20 trading days, determined to run from 8 February 2024 up to and including 6 March 2024, and not to fall below DKK 0.30 or to exceed DKK 1.20 per share.
Since the unit rights issue in 2023, Brain+ has made significant operational progress and reached important milestones for its digital health business, including
- signed four CST-Therapist Companion sales contracts with Danish municipalities,
- received a DKK 3.5 million grant to scale the implementation of CST-Therapist Companion in Denmark,
- completed of a Danish usability study, validating the relevance of CST-Therapist Companion to enable more effective delivery of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy to people with dementia,
- developed an upgraded version of CST-Therapist Companion targeted for commercial release in Denmark in Q2 2024 and in the UK in Q3 2024,
- signed a contract with the leading healthtech go-to-market and sales specialist in the UK
- attracted experienced international healthtech business and investor profiles to its board of directors
However, and nonetheless, the Company’s share price has declined to a level below the minimum exercise price of DKK 0.30 set for the warrants of series TO 3.
To align with the promises made upon the announcement of the unit rights issue in 2023, Brain+ intends to return value of the warrants of series TO 3 and maximize the likelihood that they will represent an attractive opportunity for the warrant holders. On this background, it has been decided to remove the previously set minimum and maximum exercise price levels of the warrants. However, the exercise price cannot fall below the nominal value of DKK 0.10 per share.
During the calculation period, the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares was approximately DKK 0.16, and the exercise price of the warrants of series TO 3 has been set at DKK 0.11 per share. If all outstanding warrants of series TO 3 are exercised, the Company will receive proceeds of DKK 3,139,658 before transaction related costs.
To allow time for the information in this announcement to be digested and absorbed by the market including by Brain+ share and warrant holders, custodian banks, and other stake holders, the Company’s board has also decided to move the first day of the exercise period for the TO 3 warrant by one trading day from previously Friday 8 March 2024 to Monday 11 March 2024. The last day of the exercise period remains Friday 22 March 2024.
Offer of compensation
The warrants of series TO 3 have been traded since the rights issue was completed in June 2023, and Brain+ wants to compensate warrant holders against losses incurred as a consequence of the change in the exercise terms for the warrants. So, any warrant holder who has sold warrants at any time from 13 June 2023 to 6 March 2024 and suffered a loss from the subsequent purchase of such warrants following this announcement of changed terms for the warrants will be entitled to receive compensation from Brain+. This right will be conditional upon subsequent exercise of such warrants.
Detailed compensation criteria will apply as set out below. These criteria will also be detailed on the Company’s website from Monday 11 March including worked examples in order to make the calculation process for compensation as transparent as possible to shareholders.
