COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT
Copenhagen, Denmark, May 30, 2023 – Brain+ A/S (Nasdaq First North: BRAINP)
NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA, SWITZERLAND OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURE.
The subscription period in Brain+ A/S’ (“Brain+” or the “Company”) rights issue of units with pre-emptive subscription rights for existing shareholders, in which the public also was given the opportunity to participate, ended on May 25, 2023. The rights issue was subscribed to a total of approximately 88 percent, including pre-subscription and guarantee commitments. Brain+ will thus be provided proceeds of approximately DKK 13.8 million before deduction of transaction related costs. As a result of the outcome, the option of an over-allotment issue will not be used. The outcome of the rights issue of units ensures that Brain+ can continue investing in the commercial build-up for its first marketed digital dementia product and in maturing its clinical pipeline of more advanced product options. Formal decision on unit allocation is estimated to take place on May 31, 2023.
In a comment to the outcome of the rights issue, Brain+ CEO Kim Baden-Kristensen says:
“There is a huge global need for better care and therapy to help people living with dementia, their relatives and the healthcare systems around them and a significantly growing acknowledgement of the potential in non-pharmaceutical solutions. This includes not least Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, the therapeutic foundation for our most mature products, and with the depth of knowledge built into our digital dementia technologies, we believe to have a strong foundation to take a lead in the field of digital dementia therapy.
With the new capital from our rights issue, we have fuel to continue both the market introduction of the first version of our new digital dementia product, CST-Therapist Companion, and advance the clinical development of the next, more advanced CST-based products in our pipeline. It is not the best conditions for a young growth company like Brain+ to raise capital, and I am very grateful to all existing shareholders who continue to support our development and to new shareholders who have shown their commitment to join us on our mission to relieve the heavy burden of dementia. ”, says Brain+ CEO Kim Baden-Kristensen
Subscription, allocation, and payment
The rights issue was subscribed to approximately DKK 11.2 million including pre-subscriptions of approximately DKK 4.4 million, which corresponds to a subscription rate of approximately 71 percent. In addition, guarantee commitments of approximately DKK 2.6 million has been activated, corresponding to approximate 17 percent of the rights issue. The total subscription rate thus ended at 87.73 percent, meaning that Brain+ is provided approximately DKK 13.8 million in capital proceeds before deduction of transaction related costs. The transaction related costs amount to approximately DKK 3.6 million (including compensation to guarantee providers of approximately DKK 1.4 million). Out of the proceeds to Brain+ from the rights issue, approximately DKK 3.7 million has already been received through the bridge loan that the Company secured in March 2023. Further, approximately DKK 0.70 million of the total proceeds is compensation to the bridge lenders and thus means no new cash for Brain+.
Each unit subscribed for in the rights issue has a price of DKK 1 and comprises two (2) new shares in Brain+ of nominal value 0.10 DKK each, two (2) warrants of series TO 2 and two (2) warrants of series TO 3.
A total of 5,338,712 units were subscribed for with the support of pre-emptive unit rights. The allocation of units subscribed for without the support of pre-emptive unit rights has been made in accordance with the principles described in the prospectus published by the Company on April 24, 2023. Payment for units without pre-emptive unit rights will be made via a delivery versus payment transfer through the subscriber’s own bank and will be withdrawn from the account by the subscriber’s own account holder’s bank or brokers.
Through the rights issue, a total of 27,582,348 shares of nominal value 0.10 DKK each, 27,582,348 warrants of series TO 2 and 27,582,348 warrants of series TO 3 are issued.
Number of shares and share capital
When the new shares from the unit rights issue have been registered with the Danish Business Authority, the share capital will have increased with nominally DKK 2,758,234.80, from nominally DKK 1,572,051.80 to DKK 4,330,286.60. The total number of shares will increase by 27,582,348 shares, from 15,720,518 shares to 43,302,866 shares, and the dilution effect for the shareholders who did not participate in the rights issue therefore amounts to approximately 64 percent.
