Summary

  • Existing shareholders in Moberg Pharma as of the record date, 14 August 2023, will receive eight (8) unit rights for one (1) existing ordinary share. Nine (9) unit rights entitle to subscription of two (2) Units in the Rights Issue.
  • In total, a maximum of 17,470,148 Units will be issued. Each Unit consists of one (1) ordinary share and one (1) warrant of series 2023:1 issued without cost, which means that a maximum of 17,470,148 ordinary shares and 17,470,148 warrants of series 2023:1 will be issued.
  • The subscription price has been set to SEK 5.75 per Unit, which corresponds to a subscription price of SEK 5.75 per ordinary share. The subscription price per ordinary share corresponds to a discount of approximately 35 percent compared to the theoretical ex-rights price after the separation of unit rights (TERP), based on the volume-weighted average price of Moberg Pharma's ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from and including 24 July 2023 up to and including 4 August 2023. The warrants are issued without cost. This means that the Company will receive issue proceeds in the total amount of approximately MSEK 100 before deduction of transaction costs related to the Rights Issue.
  • The record date for the Rights Issue is 14 August 2023 and the subscription period will run from 16 August 2023 up to and including 30 August 2023.
  • The Rights Issue is comprised of approximately 16 percent subscription commitments and of approximately 34 percent issue guarantees, corresponding to in total approximately 50 percent of the Rights Issue. Subscription commitments have been undertaken by, among others, the board members Kerstin Valinder Strinnholm, Nikolaj Sørensen and Håkan Wallin, the management members Anna Ljung, Mark Beveridge and Anders Bröijersén as well as by the Company’s major shareholder Östersjöstiftelsen. Issue guarantees have been issued by certain existing shareholders and external guarantors.
  • The last day of trading including the right to participate in the Rights Issue is 10 August 2023.
  • The Rights Issue is conditional upon the approval of the EGM to be held on 8 August 2023.

Terms for the Rights Issue
Shareholders who on the record date, 14 August 2023, are registered shareholders in Moberg Pharma in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB have preferential rights to subscribe for Units in relation to the number of shares held on the record date. The shareholders will receive eight (8) unit rights for each ordinary share held on the record date.[1] Nine (9) unit rights entitle to subscription of two (2) Units. In total, a maximum of 17,470,148 Units will be issued. Each Unit consists of one (1) ordinary share and one (1) warrant of series 2023:1 issued without cost. The share capital will increase by no more than SEK 17,470,148.867306 through the issue of no more than 17,470,148 ordinary shares. In addition, a maximum of 17,470,148 warrants of series 2023:1 will be issued. Each warrant of series 2023:1 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new ordinary share in the Company during the period 5 June 2024 up to and including 19 June 2024. The subscription price for subscription of ordinary shares with the support of warrants of series 2023:1 will correspond to 70 percent of the volume-weighted average price in the Company's ordinary share during the period from and including 20 May 2024 up to and including 31 May 2024. However, the subscription price can at minimum amount to the quota value of the share, corresponding to approximately SEK 1.0 per ordinary share. Upon full exercise of all warrants, the Company’s share capital will increase by no more than SEK 17,470,148.867306. The subscription price has been set to SEK 5.75 per Unit and the issue proceeds are expected to amount to MSEK 100 before deduction of transaction costs relating to the Rights Issue.

In the event that not all Units are subscribed for with the support of unit rights, the Board of Directors shall, within the maximum amount of the new issue of Units, resolve on the allotment of Units to those who have subscribed for Units without the support of unit rights in accordance with the following allotment principles: Firstly, allotment shall be made to those who have subscribed for Units through unit rights, regardless of whether the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date or not, and in the event of oversubscription, in proportion to the number of unit rights each subscriber exercised for subscription and, to the extent this is not possible, by drawing lots. Secondly, allotment shall be made to others who have subscribed for Units without the support of unit rights, and, in the event that they cannot receive full allotment, in proportion to the number of Units each subscriber subscribed for and, to the extent this is not possible, by drawing lots. Thirdly and finally, any remaining Units shall be allotted to the guarantors who have entered into guarantee commitments in proportion to the size of the guarantee commitment and, to the extent this is not possible, by drawing lots.

The record date to determine which shareholders that are entitled to receive unit rights is 14 August 2023. The last day of trading in the shares including the rights to participate in the Rights Issue is 10 August 2023. Subscription shall be made during the subscription period, 16 August 2023 up to and including 30 August 2023. Trading in unit rights is expected to take place from 16 August 2023 up to and including 25 August 2023 at Nasdaq Stockholm. Trading in paid subscribed Units (BTU) is expected to take place during the period from and including 16 August 2023 until the Rights Issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).

The Board of Directors will apply for admission to trading of the new ordinary shares and the warrants of series 2023:1 at Nasdaq Stockholm.

Shareholders that do not participate in the Rights Issue will be subject to a dilutive effect of no more than approximately 77 percent at full subscription in the Rights Issue and full exercise of all warrants. However, the shareholders have the possibility to partly be financially compensated for this dilution by selling their unit rights.

Extraordinary General Meeting
The Rights Issue is conditional upon the approval of the EGM which will be held on 8 August 2023.

As stated in the notice to the EGM, the Board of Directors had, in order to create flexibility regarding the determination of the final terms of the new issue, presented four alternative proposals for amendments to the Articles of Association under item 7 (a)-(d) in the notice to the EGM. Since the Board of Directors finds the proposals for amendments of the Articles of Association under item 7 (b), item 7 (c) and item 7 (d) in the notice to the EGM less appropriate with regard to, inter alia, the final terms for the Rights Issue, the Board of Directors has resolved to withdraw these proposals. Thus, the proposal for amendments of the Articles of Association set out in item 7 (a) in the notice to the EGM remains.

The notice and other documents relating to the EGM are available at Moberg Pharma’s website, www.mobergpharma.se.

Prospectus
A prospectus and notification form will be made available before the commencement of the subscription period on Moberg Pharma’s website, www.mobergpharma.se.
