NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, SOUTH AFRICA, HONG KONG, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH KOREA, RUSSIA, BELARUS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES BEYOND THOSE REQUIRED UNDER SWEDISH LAW. PLEASE REFER TO “IMPORTANT INFORMATION” AT THE END OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.
On 29 June 2026, Prostatype Genomics AB (“Prostatype Genomics” or the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors, supported by authorization from the Annual General Meeting held on 22 June 2026, had resolved to carry out a rights issue of units of approximately SEK 47.4 million with preferential rights for the Company’s existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”). The Company has now entered into a top-down underwriting of approximately 10.1 MSEK, corresponding to approximately 21.3 percent of the issue proceeds. The Rights Issue is thus covered by subscription commitments, bottom- and top-down underwriting undertakings totalling approximately 43.2 MSEK, corresponding to approximately 91.3 percent of the maximum issue proceeds. For the top-down underwriting undertaking, compensation of 14 percent in cash or alternatively 16 percent in the form of units is payable, calculated on the underwritten amount. This corresponds to the compensation level for the previously communicated bottom underwriting.
Subscription commitments and underwriting undertakings
With the newly entered top-down underwriting undertaking, the Rights Issue is now secured in writing to approximately 91.3 percent through subscription commitments and underwriting undertakings, whereby members of the Board of Directors as well as other existing shareholders have provided subscription commitments (with and without preferential rights) totaling approximately SEK 9.2 million, corresponding to approximately 19.4 percent of the Rights Issue. Vator Securities AB has provided a top-down underwriting undertaking (from 100 percent down to approximately 78.7 percent) of approximately 10.1 MSEK, corresponding to approximately 21.3 percent of the Rights Issue, in addition to the previously announced bottom underwriting undertaking of a total of approximately SEK 23.9 million, corresponding to approximately 50.6 percent of the Rights Issue, which extends from the level of subscription commitments of 19.4 percent up to 70.0 percent of the Rights Issue. For both the bottom- and top-down underwriting undertakings, an underwriting fee of 14 percent of the underwritten amount is payable in cash, or alternatively 16 percent if the underwriter chooses compensation in the form of units in the Company. Vator Securities AB has the necessary authorization to act as an underwriter and has entered into separate option agreements with a number of investors for the transfer of any units allotted in the event of the underwriting being utilized.
If the issue underwriter chooses to receive underwriting compensation in the form of units, the Board intends to resolve on a directed issue of such units to the issue underwriter. The terms of any such directed underwriter issue will correspond to the terms of the Rights Issue.
