NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES.
Saniona AB (“Saniona” or the “Company”) today announces that the Company has agreed on guarantee commitments (so-called "top-down guarantees") in the ongoing exercise of warrants series TO 4 ("TO 4"). The exercise period for TO 4 commenced on 18 March 2025 and will continue until 1 April 2025. The guarantee commitments comprise a total of approximately SEK 11.5 million, corresponding to approximately 10 percent of the issue proceeds that the Company can receive through the exercise of TO 4. The outcome of the exercise of TO 4 and the amount of utilized guarantee commitments will be announced on or around 3 April 2025.
Saniona has, in connection with the ongoing exercise of TO 4, agreed on top guarantees with Wilhelm Risberg and Fredrik Lundgren, of approximately SEK 5.75 million each. The guarantee commitments thus comprise a total of approximately SEK 11.5 million, corresponding to approximately 10 percent of the issue proceeds that the Company can receive through the exercise of TO 4.
The guarantee commitments constitute so-called "top-down guarantees", which means that the guarantee commitments will be utilized in case the TO 4 aren’t exercised in full, with the guarantee commitments being utilized fully (approximately SEK 11.5 million) if the exercise of TO 4 is at or below 90 per cent and less if the exercise of TO 4 exceeds 90 per cent. Upon exercise of, for example, 95 percent of the TO 4, the guarantee commitments will be executed for the remaining 5 percent up to fully subscribed TO 4. The guarantee commitments are thus added to the current subscription level for TO 4 and are intended to secure the last part of the subscription of the warrant exercise in the event that all TO 4 are not exercised by existing holders.
If the guarantee commitments are executed, the guarantors’ subscriptions of shares will in practice take place through a directed share issue, resolved by the board of directors based on the authorization granted by the annual general meeting on 29 May 2024, after the exercise period for TO 4 has ended. Subscription in such directed share issue shall be made at a subscription price corresponding to the determined exercise price for TO 4, i.e. SEK 4.88, and may thus comprise a maximum of 2,355,564 shares in the Company, corresponding to issue proceeds of approximately SEK 11.5 million in total. The outcome of the exercise of TO 4 and the amount of utilized guarantee commitments will be announced through a separate press release by the Company on or around 3 April 2025.
The guarantee commitments have been provided free of charge and have not been secured by advance transaction, bank guarantee or similar arrangement.
Complete terms and conditions for TO 4 are available on the Company’s website, www.saniona.com.
