Magnasense AB ("Magnasense" or the "Company") has today, in addition to previously announced subscription and free of charge guarantee commitments of approximately SEK 6.6 million, received a bottom-up guarantee commitment of approximately SEK 8.4 million (the "Bottom-up Guarantee") from the investment company Hunter Capital AB (publ) ("Hunter Capital") and an additional free of charge top-down guarantee commitment of approximately SEK 0.4 million from the partner Q Biotech Corp ("Q Biotech"). The commitments are provided within the framework of the Company's ongoing rights issue of units, which was resolved by the Board of Directors on 10 April 2025 with the support of authorization from the extraordinary general meeting on 24 February 2025 (the "Rights Issue"). The top-down guarantee commitment has been provided on the same terms as previously announced top-down guarantee commitments and payment can, to the extent that the guarantee commitment needs to be utilized, be made through set-off against outstanding invoice. Including these additional commitments, subscription and guarantee commitments amount to a total of approximately SEK 15.4 million, corresponding to approximately 57.7 percent of the Rights Issue. The minimum level required for the Rights Issue to be completed has thus been secured.
Sergey A. Dryga, CEO of Q Biotech Corp comments: “Magnasenses advanced detection technology which utilized superparamagnetic nanoparticles, has significant potential in revolutionizing biomolecule detection and bringing much needed rapid diagnostics to oral health and systemic diseases. Q Biotech Corp is excited to contribute to Magnasenses development not only through this investment, but also by bringing significant technical expertise in nanoparticle development and methods of superparamagnetic nanoparticle detection”.
On 10 April 2025, the Board of Directors of Magnasense, with support of the authorization from the extraordinary general meeting on 24 February 2025, resolved on an issue of not less than 23,809,524 units and not more than 42,380,037 units, consisting of shares and warrants free of charge, with preferential rights for the Company's existing shareholders. Through the now entered Bottom-up Guarantee and the additional top-down guarantee commitment, the Rights Issue is covered by subscription and guarantee commitments totalling approximately SEK 15.4 million or 57.7 percent of the Rights Issue, meaning that the minimum level for completion has been secured.
The Bottom-up Guarantee amounts to approximately SEK 8.4 million or approximately 31.5 percent of the Rights Issue and has been provided by the investment company Hunter Capital. The Bottom-up Guarantee including already entered subscription commitments with and without support of preferential rights from board members amounts to approximately SEK 9.6 million, corresponding to approximately 36 percent of the Rights Issue. As a result of the additional commitment from Q Biotech, free of charge top-down guarantee commitments amounts to approximately SEK 5.8 million or approximately 21.7 percent of the Rights Issue. To the extent that Q Biotech's guarantee commitment needs to be utilized, payment can be made through set-off against outstanding invoice. The guarantee commitment under the Bottom-up Guarantee will be forfeited if the Rights Issue is subscribed to approximately 36 percent or more and top-down guarantee commitments will be forfeited if the Rights Issue is subscribed to 100 percent or more. The top-down guarantee commitments are added to the current subscription level and aims to ensure the subscription of the last part of the Rights Issue in case the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed. Neither the subscription commitments nor the guarantee commitments are secured by bank guarantees, restricted funds, pledging or similar arrangements.
Compensation for the commitment under the Bottom-up Guarantee amounts to sixteen (16) percent of the guaranteed amount in cash and six (6) percent of the guaranteed amount in newly issued units. The subscription price for units issued as guarantee compensation is set at SEK 0.63 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.014 per share, which corresponds to the subscription price in the Rights Issue. Each unit contains, as the units issued within the framework of the Rights Issue, forty-five (45) shares, forty-five (45) warrants of series TO 5 and thirty-six (36) warrants of series TO 6. After the end of the subscription period for the Rights Issue, the Board of Directors will decide on a directed issue of units containing shares and warrants of series TO 5 and TO 6 to Hunter Capital, with support of the authorization used for the decision on the Rights Issue. No compensation is paid for subscription commitments or top-down guarantee commitments.
The compensation for the Bottom-up Guarantee has been determined after arm's length negotiations with the guarantor, in consultation with financial advisors and through analysis of a number of market factors. Against this background, the Board of Directors considers that the compensation reflects current market conditions. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to fulfil the Company's contractual obligation to the guarantor. The Board of Directors considers that it is beneficial to the Company's financial position to utilize the option of paying the guarantee compensation partly in the form of issued units instead of cash payment only.For complete terms and conditions for the Rights Issue and other information about the Company, please refer to the information memorandum published by the Company on 22 April 2025, which is available at www.magnasense.com and www.eminova.se.
