The tap issue has been placed at a price of 102.75 per cent of the nominal amount, indicating an interest rate of Stibor 3m + 5.27 per cent when applying a Stibor-floor at 0. After the tap issue, the total outstanding amount of the company’s bond loan will amount to SEK 600M, which equals the total framework amount of the bond loan. The bond loan is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and the company will apply for listing of the new bonds on Nasdaq Stockholm. The settlement date of the tap issue is set to December 14th, 2016.
The issuance of the new bonds means that Moberg Pharma utilizes the waiver obtained from the bondholders. The consent fee of 0.5 per cent of the today outstanding nominal amount of the bonds will be paid to directly registered owners and registered authorised nominees (Sw. förvaltare) of the bonds as of December 12th, 2016 in the debt ledger produced by Euroclear Sweden. The payment is expected to be made on December 19th, 2016. Any individual or company whose bonds are held by a nominee receives the consent fee through such nominee.
“We highly appreciate the support provided by our bondholders and the large interest for this tap issue. As a result, the issue has been placed at a premium to the nominal amount and we have secured the capital needed to complete the acquisition of DermoPlast®. From January 2017, DermoPlast® is expected to contribute significantly to our profitability and operative cash flow”, says Peter Wolpert, CEO of Moberg Pharma.
Carnegie Investment Bank and Swedbank have been engaged as financial advisors and Gernandt & Danielsson as legal advisor in conjunction with the tap issue.
