Today is the first day of the subscription period in Alligator Bioscience AB’s (“Alligator” or the “Company”) rights issue of shares and warrants (“units”) (the “Rights Issue"), which was resolved by the Board of Directors on February 8, 2024, and approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on March 14, 2024.
Summary of the Rights Issue
- The Rights Issue comprises a maximum of 140,990,205 units where each unit consists of one (1) ordinary share and one (1) warrant series TO 9 free of charge.
- One (1) existing ordinary share in the Company on the record date entitles to three (3) unit rights. Fourteen (14) unit rights entitle to subscription of one (1) unit.
- One (1) warrant series TO 9 will entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new ordinary share in the Company at an exercise price corresponding to 90 percent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period November 4–29, 2024, however not less than the quota value of the share. The exercise period will run between December 4–18, 2024.
- The subscription price is SEK 1.07 per unit, corresponding to SEK 1.07 per ordinary share, which, assuming that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, results in the Company initially receiving proceeds of approximately SEK 150.9 million before deduction of issue costs.
- If the Rights Issue is oversubscribed, the Board of Directors of the Company may carry out an over-allotment issue of a maximum of 93,457,944 units, corresponding to initially approximately SEK 100.0 million before issue costs, directed to investors who have subscribed for units in the Rights Issue without receiving full allotment (the “Over-Allotment Issue”). The subscription price in the Over-Allotment Issue will be the same as in the Rights Issue.
- The Company has received subscription undertakings from a number of the Company’s larger existing shareholders, including Koncentra Holding AB and Roxette Photo SA, as well as from several members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management, amounting in total to approximately SEK 59.8 million, corresponding to approximately 40 percent of the Rights Issue.
