Record date for distribution of warrants of series TO1 and TO2 to current shareholders is set for October 9, 2020
As previously announced, the Board of Directors of Cereno Scientific AB (”Cereno” or the ”Company”) has decided to distribute warrants of series TO1 and TO2 free of charge to shareholders in the Company. The subscription period to subscribe for new shares of series B with conversion of warrants from series TO1 will be from 15 September 2021 until and including 29 September 2021. The subscription period to subscribe for new shares of series B with conversion of warrants of TO2 will be from 14 September 2022 until and including 28 September 2022.
As previously announced through a press release on September 30, 2020, Cereno resolved on and carried out a directed issue of units consisting of shares of series B and warrants of series TO1 and TO2 (the “Directed Issue”). The Directed Issue was targeted to a limited group of qualified investors. In connection with the Directed Issue, the Company also entered into a loan financing agreement of SEK 10 million (the ”Loan”) with Formue Nord Fokus A/S (”the Lender”). The Lender will as part of the market term agreement receive warrants of series TO1 and TO2 respectively. In order to provide current shareholders with the opportunity to be compensated for the dilution that arise from the Directed Issue, including the warrants allotted to the Lender, the Board of Directors of Cereno has also decided to issue an additional 16,087,724 warrants of series TO1 and 16,087,724 warrants of series TO2 (i.e. the same series as in the Directed Issue and the Loan) to the Company. The Company will, on the record date, allocate the additional warrants free of charge to current shareholders in the Company.
The record date to receive warrants of series TO1 and TO2 has been set for October 9, 2020. Therefore, the last day of trading in the Company’s share including the right to receive warrants is October 7, 2020, and the first day of trading in the Company’s share excluding the right to receive warrants of TO1 and TO2 respectively is October 8, 2020.
The shareholders in Cereno will receive two (2) warrants of series TO1 and two (2) warrants of series TO2 for every five (5) held shares (regardless of share class) on the record date. Round down will be applied.
Additional information regarding the terms of the warrants of series TO1 and TO2 as well as additional information about the Directed Issue, the Loan and the allocation of warrants to current shareholders is included in the press release dated September 30, 2020.
The Company will apply for admission to trading of the warrants of series TO1 and TO2 on Spotlight Stock Market as soon as it is possible after the registration of the Directed Issue and the allotment to current shareholders and the Lender has been completed.
