Uppsala, Sweden, March 11, 2025. Dicot Pharma carried out a rights issue of units in August 2024 where all those who were allocated shares also received warrants in series TO 6. Each warrant now entitles to subscribe for two new shares during the period March 17-31, 2025. The subscription price has been determined at SEK 0.38 per warrant or SEK 0.19 per share. This corresponds to 70% of the volume-weighted average price of the share during the period February 24 - March 10, 2025.
If all warrants of series TO 6 are exercised for the subscription of new shares, Dicot Pharma will receive approximately SEK 45.7 million before issuance costs. To prevent the warrants from expiring worthless, the holder must actively subscribe for shares by March 31, 2025, or alternatively sell the warrants by March 27, 2025. Please note that some custodians may close their application process earlier than March 31, 2025.
The full terms and conditions regarding the warrants are available on Dicot Pharma's website www.dicotpharma.com.
Background
Over the past year, Dicot Pharma has achieved several key milestones in its development of the company and the erectile dysfunction drug candidate LIB-01. The phase 1 study showed prominent clinical results and a phase 2a study has been initiated and is ongoing. Dicot Pharma has also been granted a new patent family in the US that extends to 2042. In addition, new research findings have been made in the field of metabolic diseases, where conditions such as obesity and diabetes can be accommodated.
With these advancements as a foundation, Dicot Pharma now looks forward to the next stages of development. The upcoming key activities include finalizing and reporting the results of the phase 2a study, which is expected to be completed in mid-2025. Preparations for a phase 2b study are ongoing in parallel, with an expected start in 2026. To strengthen the company's long-term position in the market, work on internationalization and preparations for future commercialization is also being intensified. Evaluation and development of new indications to broaden the product portfolio is also in focus.
Through Dicot Pharma's rights issue, which concluded on August 30, 2024, and the subsequent compensation issue decided by the Board on September 9, 2024, a total of 120,152,251 warrants of series TO 6 were issued. The subscription price is set at SEK 0.19 per share, meaning that Dicot Pharma will receive approximately SEK 45.7 million before issuance costs if all warrants are exercised. The proceeds from this warrant program will be a significant contribution that will allow us to maintain the high speed forward and bring Dicot Pharma ever closer to launch. The proceeds will be allocated as follows:
- Co-financing of the clinical phase 2b study, scaling of the supply chain, and other preparations to make the company phase 3-ready as soon as possible (approximately 80%).
- Evaluation and development to expand the product portfolio with new indications, including metabolic diseases (approximately 20%).
