Acarix AB (“Acarix” or the “Company”) today announces the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series 3 issued in connection with the Company’s rights issue conducted in October 2023. A total of 87,157,745 warrants were exercised, corresponding to a subscription rate of approximately 96.2 percent, for the subscription of 87,157,745 new shares. The subscription price per share was SEK 0.25. Prior to the exercise period, the Company received declarations of intent and guarantee commitments corresponding to 100 percent of the warrant issue, which was announced on August 26, and August 28, 2024. Thus, approximately SEK 0.9 million, corresponding to 3.8 percent of the outstanding warrants, will be allocated to the guarantors through a directed issue on the same terms as the warrant exercise. The board of directors therefore intends, in accordance with previously communicated guarantee agreements, to resolve on a directed share issue to the guarantors, supported by the authorization from the annual general meeting on May 14, 2024. Through the exercise of the warrants and the subsequent directed share issue to the guarantors, Acarix will receive approximately SEK 22.6 million before issuance costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“We are absolutely delighted by this outcome and the strong support our shareholders have shown us. The proceeds from the TO3 warrants will continue to fund our US expansion where we see great potential and we look forward to keeping you updated of our progress. I want to express my deep gratitude to all of you<\/em>“, says Aamir Mahmood, CEO Acarix.<\/p>\n

Background and outcome<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exercise period for the warrants of series 3 commenced on September 11, 2024, and closed on September 25, 2024. The subscription price per share upon exercise of the warrants of series 3 was SEK 0.25. Prior to the exercise period, the Company received declarations of intent and guarantee commitments corresponding to 100 percent of the warrant issue, which was announced on August 26, and August 28, 2024.<\/p>\n

A total of 87,157,745 warrants were exercised, corresponding to a subscription rate of approximately 96.2 percent, for the subscription of 87,157,745 new shares. Thus, approximately SEK 0.9 million, corresponding to 3.8 percent of the outstanding warrants, will be allocated to the guarantors through a directed issue on the same terms as the warrant exercise. Through the exercise of the warrants and the subsequent directed share issue to the guarantors, Acarix will receive approximately SEK 22.6 million before issuance costs.<\/p>\n

Directed share issue<\/strong><\/p>\n

The board of directors intends, in accordance with previously communicated guarantee agreements, to resolve on a directed share issue to the guarantors, supported by the authorization from the annual general meeting on May 14, 2024.<\/p>\n

Interim shares<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exercised warrants have been replaced with interim shares (IA) pending registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The conversion of interim shares to ordinary shares is expected to occur shortly after the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office has been finalized.<\/p>\n

The allocation of shares to the guarantors will take place once the directed share issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.<\/p>\n
