Resolution regarding approval of the board of directors’ resolution to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights
The Extra General Meeting resolved to approve the board of directors’ resolution from 31 May 2019 regarding a new share issue with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights of a maximum of 4,387,745 shares. Through the share issue the share capital of the Company will increase with a maximum of SEK 983,671.21.
The subscription price for the new shares shall be SEK 33.50 per share, which is based on the price determined in a bookbuilding-procedure carried out by Vator Securities AB.

The purpose of the new share issue of shares and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, is to diversify the shareholder base among Swedish and international institutional investors and at the same time raise capital at attractive terms in a time efficient manner. The new share issue further aims to finance the development of new product candidates and to ensure the continued development of Xlucane and to ensure continued development and value growth in the project portfolio. Furthermore, a part of the new share issue is made against payment by set-off of an existing loan from one shareholder in the Company, which if favourable instead of repaying the loan in cash. The board of directors’ assessment is that the subscription price in the new share issue is in accordance with market conditions, since it has been determined through a bookbuilding procedure.
The subscribers in the share issue are, amongst other, STADA Arzneimittel AG, NYIP (Nyenburgh Investment Partners), Swedbank Robur Medica, Belsize Asset Management GmbH and Serendipity Group AB. All shares have been subscribed for the eligible subscribers.
