“We welcome the new shareholders in A3P Biomedical and are very happy and proud to have completed a successful private placement of SEK 400 million in a volatile financial market. It is a quality stamp which confirms the confidence in A3P Biomedical and our product Stockholm3. We now have the financial muscles needed to accelerate our global growth with the aim of generating long-term value both for society and our shareholders”, says David Rosén, CEO of A3P Biomedical.

The Board of Directors of A3P Biomedical has, with support from the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 22 June 2021, decided to complete a SEK 400 million private placement. The Board has also decided on a directed share issue to existing shareholders at a maximum value of approximately SEK 40 million, and further information will shortly be sent to the Company’s shareholders. The purpose of these share issues is to finance the Company’s growth strategy and accelerate the commercialization of Stockholm3 – a blood test for early detection of prostate cancer – as well as to broaden the shareholder base.

The Board has used the authorization by the annual general meeting to direct the first portion of the share issue to a few long-term shareholders with strong capital resources and extensive industrial experience which, for A3P Biomedical and thus for its shareholders, was considered to be the most favorable way of raising the desired capital. Concurrently, the Board has seen to the best interests of existing shareholders and decided on a directed share issue to them, in accordance with the existing shareholders’ agreement, as a complement to the Private Placement.
