Results of rights issue − Offering fully subscribed

By company announcement no. 17 on September 25, 2020, BioPorto A/S (“BioPorto” or the “Company”) announced the initiation of a fully-guaranteed rights issue (the “Offering”) with pre-emptive subscription rights for the Company’s existing shareholders allowing for subscription of up to 66,645,476 new shares with a nominal value of DKK 1 each (the “New Shares”).

The subscription period for the New Shares has expired, and BioPorto is pleased to announce that all of the New Shares have been subscribed for. 64,989,801 of the New Shares (equivalent to 97.5%) have been subscribed for by exercise of pre-emptive subscription rights. As demand for the remaining shares has exceeded the number of New Shares not subscribed for by exercise of pre-emptive subscription rights, the remaining shares have been allocated as described in the prospectus. Investors who have been allocated these remaining shares will be informed individually.

The Company expects to complete the Offering when payment of subscription amounts has taken place and the New Shares have been registered with the Danish Business Authority, expectedly on October 21, 2020. As soon as possible thereafter, the New Shares will be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S under the Company’s permanent ISIN-code (DK0011048619), expectedly no later than October 22, 2020.

As stated in company announcement no. 17 on September 25, 2020, the Offering may be withdrawn at any time prior to the registration of the capital increase relating to the Offering with the Danish Business Authority. Any such withdrawal would be notified via Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.

The expected timetable for the Offering remains unchanged.
