Alzinova AB ("Alzinova" or the "Company") has received subscription commitments and an underwriting commitment for a total of 40,510,240 warrants of series TO4 (the "Warrants") corresponding to 80 percent of the issue proceeds the Company can provide through the exercise of the Warrants, whose exercise period begins on May 25, 2026, and ends on June 8, 2026. Subscription commitments comprise a total of approximately 6.1 percent of the Warrants. The underwriting commitment comprises a total of approximately 73.9 percent of the Warrants and will be utilized if the Warrants are not exercised up to 80 percent.
”The fact that 80 percent of the proceeds from the issue in TO4 are already covered by subscription commitments and underwriting commitments is a clear sign of strength and reflects a continued strong confidence in Alzinova, our strategy and the development we are now driving forward. Our most important task is to use the market's capital in a disciplined manner to drive our clinical projects forward and at the same time create long-term value for shareholders. The secured proceeds from TO4, together with the establishment we are now seeing in the diagnostics area, represent two important advances in a short period of time that strengthen Alzinova's long-term commercial potential. The combination of continued clinical development, growing activity in diagnostics and strong support from our owners gives us good conditions to continue to develop Alzinova towards several important milestones in the future.” - Tord Labuda, CEO Alzinova
The Warrants in brief
In connection with the rights issue of units carried out by the Company during the first quarter of 2026, and the compensation issue resolved by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 16, 2026, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting held on May 28, 2025, which was carried out to the underwriters in the rights issue who chose to receive underwriting compensation in the form of units, a total of 50,637,801 Warrants were issued in Alzinova.
The Warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company for each (1) Warrant during the period from and including May 25, 2026, up to and including June 8, 2026, at a subscription price corresponding to 70 percent of the volume-weighted average price paid for the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including May 8, 2026, up to and including May 22, 2026 (the "Measurement Period"), however, not less than SEK 0.263 (the share's quota value) and not more than SEK 1.20. Upon full exercise of all Warrants issued, the Company may receive a maximum of approximately SEK 60 million (based on the ceiling price of SEK 1.20) and a minimum of approximately SEK 13 million (based on the share's quota value of SEK 0.263). Complete terms and conditions for the Warrants are available on the Company's website (www.alzinova.com). After the end of the Measurement Period when the subscription price for the Warrants has been determined, the Company will inform about the subscription proceeds covered by the subscription commitments and underwriting commitment received.
Members of the Company's Board of Directors and management as well as major warrant holders have entered into subscription commitments for a total of 3,084,697 Warrants, corresponding to approximately 6.1 percent of the issue proceeds that the Company can provide through the exercise of the Warrants. In addition, Mangold Fondkomission AB (the "Underwriter")[1] has entered into an underwriting commitment for a total of 37,425,543 Warrants, which corresponds to 73.9 percent of the Warrants. The underwriting commitment means that if less than 80 percent of all Warrants are exercised for subscription of shares in the Company, the Underwriter will subscribe for shares through a directed share issue in the Company (the "Directed Issue") corresponding to the number of shares that would otherwise have been added if the Warrants had been exercised up to 80 percent.
Subscription commitments and underwriting commitments have been agreed in writing and have not been secured through a pre-transaction arrangement, bank guarantee, pledge or similar. Compensation for the underwriting commitment will be paid at the rate of ten (10) percent of the underwritten amount in cash. The amount of the underwriting compensation has been determined through arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter and the Board of Directors assesses that the compensation based on prevailing conditions is in line with market conditions. If the subscription commitments received are not completed within one week from the last day of the exercise period for the Warrants, or if the Company has not resolved on the Directed Share Issue no later than August 31, 2026, the Underwriter is not bound to fulfill its underwriting commitment and 50 percent of the underwriting compensation shall be paid to the Underwriter.
The Board of Directors of Alzinova intends to decide on the potential Directed Issue to the Underwriter, based on the authorization granted at the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 26, 2026. The subscription price in the Directed Issue will correspond to the exercise price for the Warrants, in accordance with the underwriting agreement. The Board of Directors therefore considers that the subscription price in the Directed Issue is in line with market conditions and reflects current market conditions and demand from investors. The Board of Directors will only decide on the Directed Issue if the Warrants are not exercised to 80 percent.
It is the assessment of the Board of Directors that it is in the interest of both the Company and its shareholders to underwrite the exercise of the Warrants through the underwriting commitment. If the underwriting commitment is exercised, it is the assessment of the Board of Directors that the Directed Issue enables the Company to raise additional capital at a low cost, time-efficient and with less complexity than in other forms of capital raising and financing alternatives. Holders of the Warrants may further choose to exercise these for subscription of shares in the Company and thereby limit the number of shares issued through the Directed Issue. It is the overall assessment of the Board of Directors that the reasons for underwriting the exercise of the Warrants through the underwriting commitment and, where applicable, the Directed Issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, clearly and with sufficient strength, outweigh the reasons that justify the main rule that new share issues shall be carried out with the shareholders' preferential rights.
Through the Directed Issue, the number of shares in the Company may increase by a maximum of 37,425,543 shares and the share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 9,842,917.809, which, based on the current number of shares in the Company and without taking into account the shares that will be added through the exercise of the Warrants, corresponds to a maximum dilution of approximately 19.5 percent of the number of shares and votes. Based on the share capital and the number of shares in the Company prior to the exercise of the Warrants, this means that the number of shares in the Company through the Directed Issue may increase from 154,961,389 shares to a maximum of 192,386,932 shares, and that the share capital may increase from SEK 40,754,845.307 to a maximum of SEK 50,597,763.116.
The determined subscription price for the exercise of the Warrants is intended to be announced by press release on or about May 25, 2026. The outcome of the exercise of the Warrants, including any exercise of the underwriting and resolution on the Directed Issue, is intended to be announced via a press release on or about June 9, 2026.

Exercise period: May 25, 2026 – June 8, 2026
Subscription price: 70 percent of the volume-weighted average price paid for the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the Measurement Period, however, not less than SEK 0.263 (the share's quota value) and not more than SEK 1.20.
