Report this content

Oslo, Norway, November 2, 2022 - On November 2, 2022, the exercise period for the warrants of series TO 1 issued in connection with Genetic Analysis AS's ("GA" or the "Company") IPO in September/October 2021 will commence. The exercise period runs until 16 November 2022. Holders of series TO 1 warrants are entitled to subscribe for one new share in the Company for each warrant at a price of NOK 9.30 per share - the closing price of GA's share as of 31 October was NOK 1.85 per share, which is significantly lower than the subscription price and thus something that option holders should be aware of when considering possible subscription of shares.

Ronny Hermansen, CEO Genetic Analysis, comments:
"In connection with GA's listing, warrants of series TO 1 were issued, with exercise period during November 2-16, 2022. During this year's uncertain stock market climate, biotech companies have generally seen a negative share price performance during 2022. Any proceeds from TO 1 was intended to be invested in the development of new markers for our GA-map platform. Given this situation, GA will be agile and continue to focus on the commercialisation of our current products, in which the market has shown strong interest with several significant collaboration agreements signed in recent months."
