| The annual general meeting will be conducted in English. Intention to raise capital through a rights issueThe intention of the authorizations to issue new shares and warrants under agenda items no. 6-8, is to raise capital through a rights issue. The intended rights issue will be structured as an offering of units, with each unit consisting of four shares, three warrants of series TO 2 and one warrant of series TO 3 (a "Unit). Agenda item no. 9 relates to if the guarantors of the rights issue choose to have the guarantee commission paid in newly issued shares. As such the intended rights issue requires that the board of directors receive all of the authorizations under agenda items no. 6-9. We do not expect the authorization to be fully utilized as the authorization size is calculated on the basis of the shares’ nominal value and not the actual subscription price, which will be priced at a discount to theoretical share price after separation of unit rights (TERP) of approximately 40 per cent based on the volume-weighted average share price (VWAP) of the Company’s share during the period from and including 17 May 2024 up to and including 23 May 2024. Reasons for the rights issueOver the last 24 months we have seen a very challenging funding market for biotech companies throughout Europe and the US. Scandion Oncology has in a timely fashion reduced spending significantly through restructuring of the company, streamlining the portfolio, and focusing on the main asset. These initiatives have extended the company’s runway by more than 12 months. At the end of January, we reported promising data from the CORIST trial in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. New capital is now needed to progress the CORIST trial into the very final step before starting a larger randomized study. This final step will complete our data package and increase our ability to engage a partner for the randomized study.The smaller next step study is intended to find the optimized dosing schedule and increase the dose of irinotecan in FOLFIRI to achieve the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and maximal effect of SCO-101 in combination with FOLFIRI. This continuation of CORIST part 3 will be done in a 3+3 design with the 4-days schedule and 250 mg of SCO-101, increasing irinotecan dosing from currently 50% to 65% then up to 80%, potentially including up to 12 patients.It is the intention to only raise the minimum capital required to complete this small study and secure runway for partnering discussions. We are fully aware of the dilutive effect of raising capital in the current funding environment, but it is the board of directors' assessment that a further postponement of a capital raise would be to the significant detriment of the company and our shareholders.For further details of the intended rights issue, see company announcement of 18 April 2024. |
