Bioservo Technologies AB ("Bioservo" or "the Company") has today announced the final outcome of the rights issue of units consisting of shares and warrants of series TO3, where the subscription period ended on June 9, 2023 ("the Rights Issue"). The final subscription outcome shows that 11,493,735 units, corresponding to approximately 60.63 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for with and without support from the unit rights, for a total subscription price of approximately MSEK 22.4. Accordingly, underwriting commitments for 7,464,249 units were utilized, corresponding to approximately 39.37 percent of the Rights Issue, for a total subscription price of approximately MSEK 14.6. Bioservo will receive approximately MSEK 37 through the Rights Issue before deduction of issue costs.
"The capital now infused into Bioservo enables a significant strengthening of sales activities and immediate commercialization of Carbonhand in the US. The commercial initiative in the US market, where the company has already identified a large sales potential, will start immediately thanks to the fact that the company earlier than planned established market access through the registration of Carbonhand as 510(k)-Exempt in the FDA's database for medical devices", says Petter Bäckgren, CEO of Bioservo.
The subscription period for the Rights Issue expired on June 9, 2023, and the subscription outcome shows that 11,422,425 units, corresponding to approximately 60.25 percent, were subscribed for with support from the unit rights. In addition, additionally 71,310 units were subscribed for without support from the unit rights, corresponding to approximately 0.38 percent. In total, the Rights Issue, with and without support from unit rights, was subscribed for at approximately 60.63 percent. Accordingly, underwriting commitments for 7,464,249 units were utilized, corresponding to approximately 39.37 percent of the Rights Issue, for a total subscription price of approximately MSEK 14.6. Bioservo will receive approximately MSEK 37 through the Rights Issue before deduction of issue costs of approximately MSEK 5.2.
Notification of allocation of units subscribed for without support from unit rights will shortly be sent to those who have been allocated units through a settlement note. Custodian-registered shareholders will receive notification of allocation in accordance with the respective custodians’ routines. Allocation of units subscribed for without unit rights have been carried out in accordance with the principles set out in the prospectus published on May 24, 2023.
