Elicera Therapeutics AB (publ) ("Elicera" or the "Company") announced today that the Company has received subscription commitments and underwriting commitments, consisting of both bottom and top-down underwriting commitments, totalling approximately SEK 22.0 million, corresponding to 100 percent of the issue proceeds that the Company could raise through the exercise of warrants of series TO2 (the "Warrants"). The subscription commitments amount to approximately SEK 2.4 million, corresponding to 11.0 percent of the Warrants, and have been provided by the Company's CEO, Jamal El-Mosleh, all members of the Company's board of directors, a number of members of the Company's management, and major warrant holders. The underwriting commitments amount to approximately SEK 19.6 million, corresponding to about 89.0 percent of the Warrants. The bottom underwriting commitments have been entered into by warrant holders who have entered into subscription commitments and by several external investors. The top-down underwriting commitments have been entered into by several external investors. The exercise period runs from February 26, 2025, to March 11, 2025.
The Company's CEO, Jamal El-Mosleh, all members of the Company's board of directors, a number of members of the Company's management, and major warrant holders have provided subscription commitments totalling approximately SEK 2.4 million, corresponding to approximately 11.0 percent of the issue proceeds the Company could raise through the exercise of the Warrants. In addition, warrant holders who have entered into subscription commitments, along with several external investors, have signed bottom underwriting agreements totalling approximately SEK 13.0 million, corresponding to approximately 59.0 percent of the issue proceeds the Company could raise through the exercise of the Warrants. The Company has also received top-down underwriting agreements from several externa investors totalling SEK 6.6 million, corresponding to approximately 30.0 percent of the issue proceeds the Company could raise through the exercise of the Warrants. If existing warrant holders, including the parties that have entered into subscription commitments, exercise fewer than 8,335,791 Warrants, equivalent to approximately 70,0 percent of all issued Warrants, for the subscription of 8,335,791 shares in Elicera, bottom underwriting commitments will be utilized within the range of approximately 11.0 percent to approximately 70.0 percent of the Warrants. If existing warrant holders, including the parties that have entered into subscription commitments, exercise fewer than 11,905,764 Warrants, equivalent to 100 percent of all issued Warrants, for the subscription of 11,905,764 shares in Elicera top-down underwriting commitments will be utilized within the range of approximately 70.0 percent to 100 percent of the Warrants. If applicable, the bottom underwriting consortium and/or the top-down underwriting consortium will subscribe for shares in a directed share issue by the Company (the "Directed issue") corresponding to the number of shares that would otherwise have been issued if all Warrants had been exercised, ranging from approximately 11.0 to 100 percent.
"With the secured warrant program, we expect our cash position to last into second half of 2027, providing us with the financial resources needed to reach even more key milestones in the CARMA study. This includes the opportunity to present preliminary data from all 18 planned patients in the study, marking a significant step forward in our clinical development." says Jamal El-Mosleh, CEO of Elicera
The Board of Directors of Elicera intends to decide on the potential Directed issue to the underwriting consortium, based on the authorization granted at the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2024. In such a case, the subscription price in the Directed issue will correspond to the exercise price for the Warrants, as per the underwriting agreement, i.e., SEK 1.85 per share. The Board of Directors will only decide on the Directed issue if the Warrants are not exercised to 100 percent. In such a case, the shares in the Directed issue will be allocated pro rata among all underwriters in proportion to their respective underwritten amount. A decision on the Directed issue, if applicable, will be announced through a separate press release. Depending on the outcome of the exercise of the Warrants and the extent to which the underwriting commitments are utilized, the board of directors further intends to resolve on an additional directed share issue to the underwriting consortium subject to the subsequent approval of an extraordinary general meeting. Notice of any such extraordinary general meeting will be published separately, which, if applicable, will take place after the end of the subscription period.
The subscription commitments and underwriting undertakings have been agreed upon in writing and are not secured through primary transactions, bank guarantees, pledges, or similar. Compensation for the bottom underwriting commitments has been set to either twelve (12) percent of the underwritten amount paid out in in cash, or fifteen (15) percent of the underwritten amount in newly issued shares. Compensation for the top-down underwriting commitments has been set to twenty (20) percent of the underwritten amount in newly issued shares. No compensation will be paid for the subscription commitments.
If all Warrants are exercised, the Company will raise approximately SEK 22.0 million, before issue costs. In order to prevent the Warrants from expiring worthless, holders must actively exercise the Warrants to subscribe for shares by no later than March 11, 2025, or alternatively, sell the Warrants no later than March 7, 2025. Please note that some nominees may close their application earlier than March 11, 2025.
The outcome of the exercise of the Warrants, including any exercise of the underwriting, will be announced via a press release on or about March 13, 2025.
