Today, February 23, 2024, the subscription period begins in Elicera Therapeutics AB’s (publ) (“Elicera” or the “Company”) rights issue of units consisting of shares and warrants, with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the "Rights Issue"), which the board of directors resolved on January 18, 2024 and that was approved at the extraordinary general meeting on February 20, 2024. The subscription period in the Rights Issue runs from and including February 23, 2024, up to and including March 8, 2024. However, note that some banks and nominees may have an earlier deadline for subscription in the Rights Issue. Shareholders should therefore check with their bank or nominee if they have an earlier deadline for subscription.
Timetable for the Rights Issue
- February 21, 2024: Record date for obtaining unit rights. Shareholders who are registered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB on this day receive unit rights for participation in the Rights Issue
- February 26 – March 5, 2024: Trading in unit rights (UR) on Nasdaq First North
- February 23 – March 8, 2024: Subscription period for the Rights Issue
- February 26 – week 12, 2024: Trading in BTU:s on Nasdaq First North
- March 12, 2024: Estimated date for publication of issue results
Because of administrative issues the trade in the UR and BTU will initiate on Monday, February 26, 2024, instead of February 23 2024, as previously stated. Apart from that, the previously communicated timetable is unchanged.
For full terms and instructions, please refer to the EU growth prospectus for the rights issue published by the Company on February 21, 2024. The prospectus and summary folder are available on the company's website (www.elicera.com).
Subscription with preferential rights
The shareholders who, on the record date of February 21, 2024, were registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB ("Euroclear") and on behalf of the Company, directly registered shareholders, receive a pre-printed issue report with attached payment advice from Euroclear. In the event that a different number of unit rights than those stated in the pre-printed issue report are used for subscription, the special application form, which is available on the Company's website www.elicera.com, shall be used as a basis for subscription through cash payment.
Shareholders whose holdings of shares in the Company were nominee-registered with a bank or other nominee on the record date do not receive an issue report or a special application form from Euroclear. Subscription and payment must then instead take place in accordance with instructions from the respective trustee.
Subscription without preferential rights
Notification of subscription without preferential rights by a nominee is made in accordance with instructions from the respective nominee. For subscription through an endowment insurance or an investment savings account, please contact your nominee. Application for subscription without preferential rights in other respects is done by electronic subscription with Bank-ID on Mangold's website emission.mangold.se.
