  • Warrants of series TO 4 are expected to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in close connection with the registration of the Rights Issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the conversion of BTU to ordinary shares and warrants.
  • The Rights Issue is covered by pre-subscription commitments and guarantee commitments up to approximately 72.1 percent. The guarantee commitments consist partly of a so-called top guarantee and partly of a so-called bottom guarantee.
  • Shareholder loans of a total of 3.2 mSEK, will be converted within the Rights Issue, or in a separate directed issue on identical terms as the Rights Issue.

In order to secure the Company’s liquidity needs until the Rights Issue has been completed, the Company in June 2024 obtained a bridge loan of 6.5 mSEK, where Exelity AB accounts for 4.2 mSEK and Buntel AB accounts for 2.3 mSEK. The bridge loan shall be repaid in cash with the issue proceeds.

Fredrik Rickman, CEO of Prostatype Genomics, comments on the Rights Issue:

“In these challenging market conditions, trust remains the cornerstone of our journey. Prostatype Genomics is progressing as planned, with a continued high tempo during Q3 2024 that will set the stage for our biggest milestone in Q4 2024 – Medicare reimbursement approval for the US market. Prostatype Genomics has secured a transaction with long-term investors, reinforcing their confidence in our vision and ensuring our path to these critical milestones.”

Jan Poulsen, CEO of Life Science Invest Fund 1 (“LSIF”) says:

“LSIF is excited to be a lead guarantor in this offering. Prostatype Genomics has in our view developed a unique gene test, which can significantly improve both the diagnosis and the quality of life for millions of patients with prostate cancer, and we see a bright future for the company once the US validation study confirms what has already been documented in other studies paving the way for reimbursement in the US in the near term. The next 6-12 months can radically change the prospects for Prostatype Genomics, and we look forward to supporting the company on this journey.”
