The subscription period in Coala-Life Group AB’s ("Coala Life" or the "Company") issue of units, consisting of new shares and warrants of series TO3 with preferential rights for existing shareholders of approximately no more than SEK 75.4 million (the "Rights Issue") expired on January 22, 2024, and Coala Life hereby announces the preliminary outcome. The preliminary outcome shows that a total of 168,651,295 units, corresponding to approximately 53.7 percent, were subscribed for with and without the exercise of unit rights. Consequently, a total of 60,665,649 units, corresponding to approximately 19.3 percent of the Rights Issue, are expected to be subscribed for through the fulfillment of guarantee commitments. The Rights Issue is thus expected to be subscribed to a total of approximately 73.0 percent, whereby Coala Life preliminarily will receive proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 55.0 million (of which at minimum SEK 11.2 million is received through set-off of debts and thus not provided to the Company in cash) before costs attributable to the Rights Issue which amount to approximately SEK 8.4 million. The final outcome of the Rights Issue is expected to be announced through a press release around January 23, 2024.

Preliminary outcome of the Rights Issue

The subscription period for the Rights Issue ran up to and including January 22, 2024, and the preliminary count shows that 152,887,791 units, corresponding to approximately SEK 36.7 million and approximately 48.7 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for through exercise of unit rights. An additional 15,763,504 units, corresponding to approximately SEK 3.8 million and approximately 5.0 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for without the support of unit rights. According to the preliminary outcome, a total of 168,651,295 units were subscribed for with and without the support of unit rights, corresponding to approximately SEK 40.5 million and approximately 53.7 percent of the Rights Issue. Thus, 60,665,649 units, corresponding to approximately SEK 14.6 million and approximately 19.3 percent of the Rights Issue are expected to be subscribed for through the fulfilment of guarantee commitments. Thus, in the Rights Issue, a total of 229,316,944 units, corresponding to approximately 73.0 percent of the Rights Issue, are expected to be subscribed for and Coala Life is thereby expected to receive proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 55.0 million (of which at minimum SEK 11.2 million is received through set-off of debts and thus not provided to the Company in cash) before deduction of costs attributable to the Rights Issue, which are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 8.4 million, and approximately SEK 46.6 million after deduction of such costs (assuming that all guarantors will choose to receive guarantee commitment consideration in cash).

According to the preliminary outcome, the number of shares and votes in Coala Life increases through the Rights Issue by 917,267,776, from 314,132,800 to 1,231,400,576, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 74.5 percent in relation to the existing number of shares and votes. In the Rights Issue, preliminary 229,316,944 warrants are also issued, entitling the holders to subscribe for 229,316,944 new shares in the Company. Upon full exercise of all warrants that, according to the preliminary outcome, will be issued in the Rights Issue, the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase additionally by no more than 15.7 percent in relation to the existing number of shares and votes after the Rights Issue's registration.

The final outcome of the Rights Issue is expected to be announced through a press release around January 23, 2024.

"We are grateful to the existing owners and new investors who have shown support for Coala in the rights issue and confidence in our ongoing commercialization despite the current market conditions. Our efforts in the US market continues and we are pleased to begin monitoring hundreds of new patients through the agreement we entered into this January. We continue to work intensively to further expand and deliver patient benefit and shareholder value. We work hard to manage your trust in Coala”, says Dan Pitulia, CEO Coala Life.
