NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA OR AUSTRALIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL

IRRAS AB ("IRRAS" or the "Company") (Nasdaq First North Premier: IRRAS) today announces that the Company has successfully completed a directed share issue of approximately SEK 106 million.  

The Board of Directors of IRRAS has, based on the issue authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 14 May 2019, and as indicated in the Company's press release on 22 May 2019, resolved on a directed share issue of 4,800,000 new shares at a subscription price of SEK 22 per share (the "Issue"), which means that the Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately SEK 106 million. The subscription price in the Issue has been determined through an accelerated bookbuild procedure. Subscribers in the Issue are a number of Swedish and International institutional investors. 

The proceeds from the Issue will support IRRAS' ongoing launch of IRRAflow in the United States and globally, including the EU pending CE Mark recertification. This will also allow IRRAS to build up its product inventory and ramp up its sales and marketing activities. As a result of the Issue, IRRAS is capitalized until Q3/Q4 2020.

The Issue entails a dilution of approximately 20 percent of the number of shares and votes in the company. Through the share issue, the number of outstanding shares and votes increases by 4,800,000 from 24,017,974 to 28,817,974. The share capital increases by SEK 144,000 from SEK 720,539 to SEK 864,539.

The reasons for deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights are to raise capital in a time-efficient and cost-efficient manner and to diversify the shareholder base with additional institutional investors.

In connection with the Issue, the Company has agreed to a lock-up undertaking, with customary exceptions, on future share issuances for a period of 180 calendar days after the settlement date. In addition, larger shareholders[1] have undertaken not to sell any shares IRRAS for a period of six months following the resolution to issue the new shares in the Issue, subject to customary exceptions.

"We are very pleased to welcome new shareholders. Attracting high-quality and long-term investors demonstrates the strength of our commercial product portfolio and our ability to execute on our corporate goals," said Kleanthis G. Xanthopoulos, Ph.D., President and CEO of IRRAS. "There is a large market for intracranial procedures and the proceeds from this share issue provide funding to help make IRRAflow a potential first-line treatment for intracranial fluid drainage."

Carnegie Investment Bank acted as sole Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner and Pareto Securities acted as Joint Bookrunner in connection with the transaction. Setterwalls Advokatbyrå acted as legal advisor.
