The board of directors of Amniotics AB (publ) (“Amniotics” or the “Company”) today announces the outcome of the rights issue of units, consisting of shares and warrants series TO 3, that was announced on August 31, 2023 (the “Rights Issue”). In total, 1,359,358,819 units, corresponding to approximately 54.3 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for by exercise of unit rights. In addition, 41,398,041 units, corresponding to approximately 1.7 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for without unit rights and 1,101,287,240 units, corresponding to approximately 44.0 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for by guarantors. The Rights Issue was thus subscribed for to 100 percent and Amniotics will thereby initially receive approximately SEK 25 million before issue-related costs.
Through the Rights Issue, Amniotics raises approximately SEK 25 million before deduction of issue-related costs. Additionally, Amniotics can raise approximately SEK 25 million assuming full utilization of all warrants series TO 3 for subscription of shares.
Allocation of units has been made in accordance with the principles stated in the EU Growth Prospectus that was prepared due to the Rights Issue and published by the Company on October 10, 2023 (the “Prospectus”). Subscribers who are allocated units subscribed for without unit rights will receive an allocation notice in the form of a contract note. Payment for such units is to be made according to the instructions on the contract note.

These reductions entail that the quota value per share was reduced from approximately SEK 0.054089 to SEK 0.0024. When the Rights Issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the total number of shares in Amniotics will increase by 2,502,044,100 shares, from 208,503,675 shares to 2,710,547,775 shares, and the share capital will increase by SEK 6,004,905.84, from SEK 500,408.82 to SEK 6,505,314.66.
