The Rights Issue is carried out to finance the Company's continued growth in the wake of a growing interest in the Company's products and treatment method. The pandemic related effects which have negatively affected the Company's sales in recent years, due to limited access for patients to healthcare services, now appear to be diminishing, hence the previously communicated target of 1,500 CoreTherm® treatments on an annual basis is reiterated for the coming twelve-month period starting with the third quarter of 2022. The Board also introduces an additional financial target in the form of positive cash flows from operations during the fourth quarter of 2023.

ProstaLund's Board of Directors has decided to carry out the Rights Issue based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2022. The record date to receive unit rights is 21 July 2022 and the subscription period runs between 25 July and 10 August 2022. The company has collected subscription undertakings for a total of SEK 11.5 million, corresponding to 64% of the Rights Issue, with all board members and executives as well as external investors.

“The issue proposed by the Board is, in my view, very forward leaning in the sense that it is carried out to prepare for the next step in our expansion plan. We have several CoreTherm Eagles that need be manufactured to be ready when the CE marking is completed. We need to build and increase our inventory for the Schelin catheter and CoreFlow - Soft Stent to have products in stock to be able to meet the demand we anticipate is around the corner. We will need to register products in a number of countries and build an organization for further international expansion.", says CEO, Johan Wennerholm.
