On June 8, 2023, Mendus AB (publ) (“Mendus” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ Stockholm: IMMU), announced that the Board of Directors had resolved on a capital raise of approximately SEK 317 million (the “Transaction”), comprised of a directed issue of shares and warrants to Flerie Invest AB of approximately SEK 90 million (the “Directed Issue”), in combination with a fully secured rights issue of units of approximately SEK 227 million (the “Rights Issue”). The Transaction was completed in July 2023. The exercise period for the warrants of series T03 that were allotted as part of the Transaction (the “Warrants”) commences today on Friday 15 March 2024. Upon full exercise of the Warrants the Company will receive proceeds of up to approximately SEK 90.6 million.
Summary of the Warrants
Each warrant issued in the Directed Issue and the Rights Issue entitles subscription of one new share during the period commencing on Friday 15 March up to and including Friday 29 March 2024. The exercise price of the Warrants is SEK 0.48.
Upon full exercise of the Warrants the Company will receive proceeds of up to approximately SEK 90.6 million. Mendus intends to use proceeds from the Warrants to finance the continuation of its operations and extension of cash runway to Q3 2025, including futility analysis of the oral azacitidine (5’aza) combination trial with vididencel as a first step towards pivotal-stage trial design and primary analysis of the ilixadencel proof-of-concept trial.
The Warrants are admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker IMMU TO3. Last day of trading of the Warrants is on Tuesday 26 March 2024. Warrants that are not exercised by Friday 29 March 2024 expire without value.
Provided that the Warrants are fully exercised, the number of shares in Mendus will increase by 188,701,103 from 863,148,371 to 1,051,849,474 and the share capital will increase by approximately SEK 9,435,055.2 from approximately SEK 43,157,418.6 to approximately SEK 52,592,473.8. This will entail a dilution of approximately 17.9 percent based on the total maximum outstanding shares after the exercise of all Warrants.
