Nanexa announces outcome of rights issue

On 21 September 2023, Nanexa announced that the board of directors had resolved on a rights issue of up to approximately SEK 121m with authorisation from the general meeting held 9 June 2023. The Rights Issue is covered by subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments of approximately SEK 75m, corresponding to approximately 62 percent of the Rights Issue.

Final outcome

The outcome shows that 40,629,132 shares, corresponding to approximately 33.5 percent of the offered shares, have been subscribed for with subscription rights. Additionally, applications for subscription of 1,517,136 shares without subscription rights, corresponding to approximately 1.2 percent of the offered shares, have been received. Consequently, the Rights Issue is subscribed to approximately 34.7 percent of the offered shares with and without the support of subscription rights. Guarantee commitments of 32,853,732 shares, corresponding to approximately 27.1 percent of the offered shares, will be utilised.

Trading in paid subscribed shares (“BTAs”) will take place up to and including the day the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the Rights Issue and the BTAs are converted into shares, which is expected to take place during week 45, 2023. When the shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, BTAs will be converted into shares without special notification. The new shares are expected to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth around week 46, 2023.
