Copenhagen, Denmark, 11 March 2024 – Brain+ A/S (Nasdaq First North: BRAINP)
Brain+ A/S (“Brain+” or “the Company”) announces that all members of its management team and members/observers of its board of directors have committed to exercise all their warrants of series TO 3 and provide guarantees, covering a combined 6% of the total outstanding. Further, the company has been met with substantial early support from several of its largest investors, in the form of firm commitments to exercise warrants of series TO 3 and provide guarantees. In total, Brain+ has so far received commitments covering approximately 58% of the total number of 28,542,348 warrants of series TO 3 outstanding.
Each warrant of series TO 3 gives the holder the right to subscribe for one (1) new share in Brain+ at a price of DKK 0.11. As earlier announced, the exercise price has been calculated as 70% of the volume-weighted average trading price for the company’s shares in the period from 8 February 2024 to 6 March 2024. If all warrants are exercised/guaranteed, it will provide Brain+ with proceeds of DKK 3.14 million before transaction related costs, adding at least 3 months to the company’s financial runway. The total commitments received so far secure Brain+ DKK 1.83 million in gross proceeds.
In parallel with the ongoing exercise of warrants of series TO 3, Brain+ is evaluating different options available to secure the longer-term funding of the company’s activities. These include among others to make a directed issue of new shares to existing and new investors both in Denmark and abroad. It is also being considered how to benefit from the significant gap in the valuation of near-commercial health tech companies between the public and private equity markets. The main objectives for board and management are to secure the company’s operations, while optimizing the value for existing shareholders and other stakeholders. As soon as a decision on subsequent funding measures has been taken, Brain+ will inform the market in a company announcement.
Holders of warrants of series TO 3 can be certain upon exercise of their warrants to get the amount of shares they have subscribed for. Investors, who have provided guarantee commitments, will have their commitments activated only to the extent not all warrants are exercised. If guaranteed commitments are activated, Brain+ will make a directed share issue to the guarantors at a subscription price equal to the exercise price of the warrants. The total number of shares issued based on exercise of warrants and in a potential subsequent directed issue cannot exceed the total number of 28,542,348 outstanding warrants of series TO 3. If the total of guarantor commitments exceeds the number of warrants not subscribed for, there will be a pro-rata allocation of shares to guarantors in the directed issue. No compensation will be paid for guaranteed commitments.
