Rights Issue December 2022


AlzeCure Pharma AB (“AlzeCure” or “the Company”), a pharmaceutical company that develops a broad portfolio of small molecule drug candidates for diseases affecting the central nervous system, with projects in both Alzheimer’s disease and pain, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has resolved on a new issue of shares of approximately SEK 31.7 million, with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”). The Rights Issue is subject to approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 29, 2022. Record date for participation in the Rights Issue is December 2, 2022. According to the terms of the Rights Issue, six (6) existing shares in AlzeCure entitle subscription for one (1) new share at a price of SEK 3.75 per share. The Rights Issue is secured to approximately 82.6 percent through subscription and guarantee commitments from current shareholders and the Company’s management and Board of Directors. To enable additional capital injection, the Board may exercise an over-allotment option of up to SEK 15.0 million (the “Over-allotment Option”). If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in its entirety, the maximum capital injection amounts to approximately SEK 46.7 million. The exercise of the Over-allotment Option is contingent on resolution by the Board of Directors to issue new shares with the support of the existing authorization to issue new shares. Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting is published via a separate press release.

“2022 has been successful with progress in all development projects. We are approaching an exciting year in AlzeCure’s development and the strong support from our main owners is very gratifying. The Rights Issue secures the funds we need to carry out several value-creating development steps in our research portfolio“, said AlzeCure’s CEO Martin Jönsson

Ultimately, allocation shall be made to guarantors and in relation to the guarantee commitments made.
