REG

Outcome of the Rights Issue

The subscription period in the Rights Issue ended on 24 June 2024. In total, 1,039,473,245 shareswere subscribed for in the Rights Issue, corresponding to approximately 56.71 per cent of the Rights Issue. 576,604,838 shares were subscribed for by exercise of Pre-Emptive Rights, corresponding to approximately 31.46 per cent of the Rights Issue, while 116,949,200 shares were subscribed for without exercise of Pre-Emptive Rights, corresponding to approximately 6.38 per cent of the Rights Issue. 345,919,200 shares were subscribed for by top-down guarantors (by way of conversion of debt in the total amount of DKK 3,459,192), corresponding to approximately 18.87 per cent of the Rights Issue. Please note that those acting as top-down guarantors will subscribe for shares in a directed issue of shares as resolved by the board of directors of the Company (based on an authorization from the general meeting) simultaneously with the issue and offer of shares with Pre-Emptive Rights (as, under Danish law, subscription of shares by way of conversion of debt can only be completed in a directed issue).

No shares were subscribed for by bottom-up guarantors as more than 30.01 per cent of the Rights Issue was subscribed for in cash (which was secured by the bottom-up guarantors).

Through the Rights Issue, the Company receives approximately DKK 6.935 million in cash proceeds before deduction of issue costs (legal, back-office, advisors, guaranteed commitments (bottom-up and top-down) and conversion of loan), which amount to approximately DKK 3.3 million. 

As set out on page 19 of the offer memorandum published on 24 May 2024, in connection with the Rights Issue, additional debt in the amount of DKK 3,350,000 to an existing lender will be converted into a total of 335,000,000 shares (in addition to the shares issued in the Rights Issue). This issue of shares by way of conversion of debt will be resolved and registered with the Danish Business Authority no later than on 3 July 2024.

All shares are subscribed for at a price of DKK 0.01 per share.

Carsten Trads, Chairman of DanCann Pharma, comments:

"Today, DanCann Pharma announces the outcome of the Rights Issue, which aligns with our expectations and provides the Company with fresh capital. Most importantly, our balance sheet is now free of outstanding debt, enabling a complete reset of the Company's capital structure. This fresh start allows us to rebuild and strengthen our financial foundation.

With this new capital, DanCann Pharma is positioned to continue its mission. We are now able to further showcase our revised strategy, which focuses on profitability and capital efficiency without significant asset commitments and investments.

Our renewed focus will be on further optimizing our operations and leveraging our existing resources to drive growth. We are committed to enhancing shareholder value by streamlining processes and prioritizing projects with the highest return on investment. This strategic shift will help us achieve sustainable growth and establish a more robust financial position over time, benefiting our shareholders, partners, and the broader community.

We look forward to continuing our journey with renewed vigor and a clear focus on our strategic objectives."
