Prostatype Genomics announces preliminary outcome of the Rights Issue
Prostatype Genomics AB (”Prostatype Genomics” or the “Company”) today announces the preliminary outcome of the issue of shares and warrants (“Units”) with preferential rights for the Company’s existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”) which ended today. The preliminary outcome shows that 62,480,496 Units, corresponding to approximately 52.3 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for with and without the exercise of Unit rights. The Rights Issue was covered by subscription commitments corresponding to approximately 45.0 percent, which means that no subscription commitments will take effect. The Company receives proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 25.0 million (before costs attributable to the Rights Issue), of which SEK 1.2 million will be received through set-off of debts and thus not be provided to the Company in cash.
The subscription period of the Rights Issue ended today, January 5, 2024, and the preliminary outcome shows that 53,615,227 Units, corresponding to approximately SEK 21.4 million or approximately 44.9 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for through the exercise of Unit rights. An additional 8,865,269 Units were subscribed for without the exercise of Unit rights, corresponding to approximately SEK 3.5 million or approximately 7.4 percent of the Rights Issue. In total, 62,480,496 units were subscribed for with and without the exercise of Unit rights, corresponding to approximately SEK 25.0 million or approximately 52.3 percent of the Rights Issue. The Company receives proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 25.0 million (before costs attributable to the Rights Issue), of which SEK 1.2 million will be received through set-off of debts and thus not be provided to the Company in cash.
A final outcome of the Rights Issue is expected to be announced on January 9, 2024. Units subscribed for without the exercise of Unit rights will be allocated according to the principles set out in the prospectus published by the Company on December 11, 2023. Settlement notes will be distributed after January 9, 2024. The subscribed and allocated Units must be paid in cash according to the instructions on the settlement note.
