NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES.

Today, May 21, 2026, the subscription period commences in the Rights Issue, which is carried out with the primary purpose of financing the upcoming phase 2b study with the potency treatment candidate LIB-01. The subscription period runs up to and including June 4, 2026. Please note, however, that some nominees and banks may have an earlier deadline for subscribing to the Rights Issue. Subscription is made primarily through the exercise of unit rights received by existing shareholders based on their preferential rights, but shareholders and the public may also subscribe for units without unit rights. Allocation of units subscribed for without preferential rights will be made in accordance with the allocation principles set out in the EU Follow-on Prospectus published by Dicot Pharma on May 19, 2026.

By acquiring unit rights, it is possible to subscribe for more than what the preferential rights relating to the original holding entitle to, and anyone who does not intend to exercise their unit rights may sell them in the same way. Trading in unit rights, which entitle holders to subscribe for units with preferential rights, takes place during the period May 21 – June 1, 2026 and is handled by nominees and banks.

Please note that certain nominees may close the application period for exercise of unit rights prior to June 4, 2026, and may sell unit rights prior to June 1, 2026, for which the investor has not provided instructions. Investors are therefore advised to contact their nominee or bank well in advance to determine the applicable deadlines for their securities account.

"The phase 2a results provided us with a strong scientific foundation and showed that LIB-01 has a profile that truly sets it apart from everything currently on the market. I am proud of what the team has achieved and delighted by the confidence we are receiving from both existing and new investors. With a fully funded phase 2b study, we are now taking the next clinical step while simultaneously building the value that creates the best possible foundation for continued partner discussions. We are in the most exciting phase in the company’s history, with a clear goal of making a real difference for patients.", says Elin Trampe, CEO Dicot Pharma.
