DanCann Pharma receives approximately DKK 5.6 million from the exercise of series TO 2 together with a directed issue to the underwriters
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 02 June 2023 - DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) ("DanCann Pharma" or the "Company"), a Danish company powered by cannabinoids, today announces the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series TO2 (the “Warrants”) and a directed issue of shares. A total of 5,854,594 TO 2 warrants were exercised, corresponding to an exercise rate of approximately 27 percent. Prior to the exercise period, the Company also agreed on underwriting from external investors regarding the warrants that are not exercised by the warrant holders up to 71 percent of TO 2 warrants. Therefore, the external investors will subscribe for a total of 9,700,961 shares in a directed issue, corresponding to the remaining approximately 44 percent of TO 2 warrants. DanCann Pharma will thus receive a total of approximately DKK 5.6 million before issuance costs, equivalent to 71 percent of TO 2.
A total of 21,927,810 TO 2 warrants were exercisable during the exercise period as from 16 May 2023 to 31 May 2023. A total of 5,854,594 TO 2 warrants have been exercised, corresponding to a subscription rate of approximately 27 percent. Within the framework of the previously communicated underwriting commitment, the Board of Directors, with the authorization from the General Meeting held on 20 September 2022 as set out in clause 5.4 of the articles of association, has decided to carry out a directed share issue of 9,700,961 shares to the parties that have entered into underwriting agreements. The subscription price in the directed share issue will be at the predetermined TO 2 price of DKK 0.36 per share. Through TO 2 and the directed share issue, DanCann Pharma will receive approximately DKK 5.6 million in proceeds before issuance costs, equivalent to 71 percent of TO 2. The issuance costs are estimated to be approximately DKK 1.1 million, of which approximately DKK 0.84 million is the underwriting fee. A total of 5,854,594 shares are issued upon exercise of the TO 2 warrants. A total of 9,700,961 shares are issued to external investors in the directed issue, provided that the external investors pay the subscription amount within the payment deadline as stipulated below. The shares from TO 2 are expected to be registered with the Danish Business Authority on Monday 5 June 2023, after which the total number of shares of the Company will amount to 72,999,839, and the share capital will amount to DKK 2,737,493.9625.
The payment deadline for the external investors in the rights issue is 19 June 2023. Provided that the full subscription amount is paid within this deadline, these shares are expected to be registered with the Danish Business Authority on Tuesday 20 June 2023, after which the total number of shares of the Company will amount to 82,700,800, and the share capital will amount to DKK 3,101,280.
The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential right in the directed issue of shares is to fulfill the Company's obligations towards the underwriters as a result of entered underwriting agreements. The Board also believes that it is advantageous for the Company's financial position and in the shareholders' interest to secure the funds from the TO 2 warrants to strengthen the Company's working capital and allows the Company to use the proceeds from the directed share issue of shares as described in the prospectus.
