Press release: Uppsala, July 25, 2019. The Board of Directors of Senzime AB (publ) ("Senzime" or the "Company") has decided to propose a directed share issue to a consortium consisting of a few strategically important investors, including Länsförsäkringar funds, Handelsbanken Microcap, Segulah and the Crafoord family to a value of SEK 30 million before issue costs and at a subscription price per share of SEK 8.90, corresponding to the average price in the last three trading days. Through the rights issue, the Company will receive SEK 30 million before issue costs to support the global launch of TetraGraph.

The Board of Directors of Senzime has decided to propose an extraordinary general meeting to decide on a directed issue with a value of SEK 30 million. The subscription price of the issue is SEK 8.90 and corresponds to the average price in the last three trading days, which means that Senzime will receive SEK 30 million before issue costs.

"This funding gives us the opportunity to accelerate the roll-out of TetraGraph. It strengthens our position in negotiations with potential strategic partners and enables important new recruitments in the US market, for example, "says Pia Renaudin, CEO of Senzime AB.

The purpose of the decision and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders ' preferential rights are that the company can procure funding for the company's global rollout of TetraGraph including the planned launch in the United States. The issue strengthens the ownership of the company with investors with a focus on companies in the pharmaceutical industry and medical technology, which is strategically important for the company. The directed issue also means that the funding can be implemented in a time-efficient manner and in addition to significantly lower costs for the company, compared to a traditional rights issue. It is the board's overall assessment that the issue – on the proposed terms – is in the interest of all shareholders. The proposed subscription price in the new share issue corresponds to the average price in the last three trading days.

The Board of Directors will convene an extraordinary general meeting to be held on 21 August 2019 for resolution on the new share issue. Through the issue, the share capital will increase by approximately SEK 421 348, which means a dilution of about 6.4 per cent of both the number of shares and votes (options are not included).
