Prospectus
The prospectus that Prostatype Genomics has prepared in connection with the upcoming share issue has today been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. The prospectus, containing complete conditions and instructions, and application forms can be obtained from Prostatype Genomics and Erik Penser Bank and are available on the Prostatype Genomics website (www.prostatypegenomics.com) and on the Erik Penser Bank website (www.penser.se). The prospectus will also be available on the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's website (www.fi.se).
The Preferential Share Issue in Summary
- One (1) existing share in Prostatype Genomics held on the record date of 25 April 2023 entitles one (1) subscription right. One (1) subscription right entitles subscription for six (6) issued shares.
- The subscription price amounts to SEK 0.25 per share. Payment shall be made in cash.
- Through the preferential share issue, Prostatype Genomics can add a maximum of approximately SEK 34.3 million before issue costs, which are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 2.8 million.
- The subscription period runs during the period 27 April - 11 May 2023.
- Subscription rights that are not exercised during the subscription period become invalid and lose their value. Trading in subscription rights is planned to take place on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period 27 April - 8 May 2023.
- The preferential share issue means that the Company's share capital increases by a maximum of SEK 8,230,362.84, corresponding to a maximum of 137,172,714 shares and a maximum dilution of 85.7 percent.
- The preferential share issue is covered by subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings from existing owners and external investors corresponding to a total of approximately SEK 24 million. The subscription commitments amount to approximately SEK 6.6 million, corresponding to approximately 19.3 percent of the preferential share issue, and the guarantee undertakings amount to approximately SEK 17.4 million, corresponding to approximately 50.7 percent of the preferential share issue. The subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings have been agreed upon in writing and totals approximately SEK 24.0 million, corresponding to 70 percent. For the guarantee undertakings, a guarantee commission of twelve (12) percent of the guaranteed amount is paid in cash compensation, alternatively with fourteen (14) percent of the guaranteed amount in the case of compensation in the form of new shares in the Company.
- It is noted that since the board resolved on the preferential share issue on 22 March 2023, certain share subscriptions have been made with the support of the warrant program TO2, which has increased the number of shares in the Company (2,622 new shares). This increase has led to some minor changes to the calculations above regarding the number of shares issued in the preferential share issue and the increase in the share capital. The figures presented above and in the prospectus shall therefore apply to the preferential share issue and take precedence over what was communicated earlier when the board's decision was published and from the extraordinary general meeting.
- The commitments and guarantees are not secured by bank guarantee, escrow funds, pledging or similar arrangements.
