Cyxone AB (publ) (”Cyxone” or the ”Company”) today announces its intention to carry out a directed issue of units of approximately SEK 19 million, consisting of one (1) share and one (1) warrant of series TO4. The directed issue will be carried out through an accelerated book-building procedure, which commences after the publication of this press release. The Company will also, if the directed issue is completed, decide on and issue of warrants of series TO4 that will be allotted to current shareholders.
Cyxone intends to, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with authorization from the annual general meeting held on June 4, 2020, implement a directed unit issue of approximately SEK 19 million (the “Directed Issue”). One unit consists of one (1) share and one (1) warrant of series TO4. Cyxone has engaged Mangold Fondkommission AB to investigate the conditions for the Directed Issue through a so-called accelerated book-building procedure.
The rationale for carrying out the Directed Issue and for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to secure financing in a time- and cost-effective manner, and to widen the shareholder base. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Directed Issue to conduct and complete the Company’s planned phase II study of Rabeximod in patients with Covid-19. Furthermore, According to the board of directors, the Directed Issue can provide Cyxone with necessary capital to enable research and development of an easier mode of administration for T20K.
The subscription price, and the number of units, in the Directed issue are to be determined by the accelerated book-building procedure. The board of directors’ assessment is that the subscription price in the Directed Issue will be in accordance with market conditions since it will be determined through an accelerated book-building procedure.
If the Directed Issue is completed, the board of directors of Cyxone intends to decide on the issuing of warrants of series TO4 (same series as in the Directed Issue) which will be allotted to current shareholders in the Company. The warrants of series TO4 are intended to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market.
The book-building procedure will begin no earlier than after the publication of this press release. Thereafter, the board of directors in the Company will decide on the Directed Issue and the allotment of units before the opening of Nasdaq First North Growth Market on November 11, 2020. Payment for units in the Directed Issue will be paid in cash.
The Directed Issue is subject to a resolution by the board of directors of Cyxone and can be cancelled at any time or be implemented with other terms than what is described above.
