Press Release
Stockholm, Sweden, April 2, 2024
Mendus AB (“Mendus” or the “Company”) announces today the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series TO3 (the “Warrants”), which were issued in connection with the Company's capital raise of approximately SEK 317 million (the “Transaction”), comprised of a directed issue of shares and warrants to Flerie Invest AB (publ) of approximately SEK 90 million (the “Directed Issue”), in combination with a fully secured rights issue of units of approximately SEK 227 million (the “Rights Issue”). In total, 144,043,202 Warrants were exercised, corresponding to approximately 76.3 percent of the total number of outstanding Warrants, for subscription of 144,043,202 shares in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 0.48 per share. Through the exercise of the Warrants, Mendus will thus receive approximately SEK 69.1 million before issue costs.
Mendus CEO Erik Manting comments: “The proceeds of the warrants exercise will allow us to realize significant steps in progressing our clinical pipeline and to prepare for a registration trial with vididencel in AML, as presented during our March 12 business update. We are excited to enter into this new phase for Mendus and thank our shareholders for their continued support.”
In connection with the Transaction completed in July 2023, 188,701,103 Warrants were issued. Each Warrant entitled the holder to subscribe for one newly issued share at the exercise price of SEK 0.48 during the period 15 – 29 March 2024. When the subscription period ended, 144,043,202 Warrants had been exercised to subscribe for new shares, which means that Mendus will receive proceeds of approximately SEK 69.1 million before issue costs. Mendus intends to use proceeds from the Warrants to finance the continuation of its operations and extension of cash runway to Q3 2025, including initial data from the oral azacitidine (5’aza) combination trial with vididencel (AMLM22-CADENCE), preparations for a pivotal-stage trial with vididencel in AML and the start and initial data of a new ilixadencel proof-of-concept trial in soft tissue sarcomas.
The number of shares in Mendus will increase by 144,043,202 from 863,148,371 to 1,007,191,573 and the share capital will increase by approximately SEK 7,202,160.1 from approximately SEK 43,157,418.6 to approximately SEK 50,359,578.7. For existing shareholders who did not exercise any Warrants, the dilution amounts to approximately 14.3 percent based on the number of shares following exercise of the warrants of series TO3.
