Recipharm completes a directed issue of 2.25 million Class B shares, raising proceeds of approximately SEK 276 million

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASED, DIRECTLY OR INDIECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Recipharm AB (publ) (“Recipharm”) has, based on the authorization granted by Recipharm’s Annual General Meeting on 7 May, 2015, resolved to carry out a direct share issue of 2,250,000 Class B shares at subscription price of SEK 122.50 per share (the “Issue”). The subscription price represents a discount of approximately 0.2 per cent compared to one week volume weighted average price prior to the Board of Directors’ resolution [1] , and a discount of approximately 0.8 per cent compared to the closing price on 25 January, 2016 [2]. Subscribers in the Issue are a few well known institutional investors. The reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to diversify the shareholder base and at the same time raise capital in a time efficient manner to partly finance acquisition, previously announced during the fourth quarter 2015.

Through the Issue, Recipharm will receive proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 275.6 million before transaction costs. The Issue entails a dilution of approximately 4.7 per cent of the capital in relation to the number of shares in Recipharm through an increase in the number of outstanding shares to 48,075,256 (divided into 12,685,716 shares of Class A and 35,389,540 shares of Class B).

Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) has acted as financial advisor in connection with the transaction.
