Biosergen AB ("Biosergen" or the "Company") announces today the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series TO3, which were issued in connection with a rights issue in the Company during the first quarter 2024. In total, 91,701,328 warrants of series TO3 were exercised, corresponding to 100.0 percent of the total number of outstanding warrants of series TO3, for subscription of 91,701,328 shares at an exercise price of SEK 0.49 per share. Biosergen will receive approximately SEK 44.9 million before issuing costs through the exercise of the warrants of series TO3. Upon the exercise period for the warrants of series TO3, the Company received subscription commitments and top underwriting commitments, which were announced through a press release on November 18, 2024. The exercise rate amounted to approximately 93.1 percent, and thus the top underwriting commitment will be utilized for the subscription of 6,348,670 shares, corresponding to approximately SEK 3.1 million and approximately 6.9 percent of the TO3 issue volume. Considering this, the board of directors, based on the authorization from the annual general meeting on June 14, 2024, intends to resolve on a directed issue of shares to a number of investors (the "Underwriters"). Information regarding the directed share issue to the Underwriters will be announced through a separate press release.
"We are pleased to announce that the recent warrant exercise has been a resounding success." says Tine Olesen, CEO of Biosergen. "We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of one of you that has continued trust and support in our company. Your decision to exercise warrants is a testament of confidence in our vision and future growth. Life threatening fungal infections are on the rise and for patients with no effective options, BSG005 has the potential to be lifesaving. This is especially true if the promising safety and efficacy results from our proof-of-concept study continues. Thank you once again for your unwavering support. We look forward to achieving greater milestones together."

The board of directors intends to resolve on a directed issue of shares to the Underwriters
The Company has previously communicated that a supplementary directed issue of shares to the Underwriters would take place after the completion of the exercise period if the underwriting commitment is utilized. The outcome of the exercise of TO3 means that the top underwriting will be utilized. The top underwriting entails that the Underwriters commit to subscribing for the number of shares required to ensure that the exercise rate reaches 100 percent of the issue volume. The top underwriting compensation amounts to ten (10) percent of the underwritten amount in cash or twelve (12) percent of the underwritten amount in shares. Underwriters who wish to receive underwriting compensation in the form of shares must notify Mangold Fondkommission AB no later than December 3, 2024. The subscription price in the directed share issue, in accordance with negotiated underwriting agreements, will be SEK 0.49 per share, corresponding to the exercise price for the exercise of TO3. In total, a maximum of 1,808,236 new shares may be issued as underwriting compensation to the Underwriters.
The Board's decision regarding the directed issue of shares to the Underwriters will be announced through a separate press release.
