Prolight Diagnostics AB (publ) (“Prolight” or the “Company”) announces today the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series TO6, which were issued during the fourth quarter of 2023 in the Company’s rights issue of units. In total, 97,504,157 warrants of series TO6 were exercised, corresponding to approximately 44.8 percent of the total number of outstanding warrants of series TO6, for subscription of 97,504,157 shares in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 0.10 per share. Prolight will receive approximately SEK 9.8 million before issue costs through the exercise of warrants of series TO6.
Background
The subscription period for exercise of the warrants of series TO6 took place from and including May 20, 2024, up to and including May 31, 2024. The subscription price per share for exercising the warrants of series TO6 was set to SEK 0.10.
In total, 97,504,157 warrants of series TO6 were exercised for subscription of 97,504,157 shares in the Company, meaning that approximately 44.8 percent of the total number of outstanding warrants of series TO6 were exercised for subscription of new shares in Prolight.
Exercised warrants have been replaced with interim shares (IA), pending registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The interim shares are expected to be converted to shares within approximately three (3) weeks.
Shares, share capital, and dilution
If all warrants of series TO6 are exercised the total number of shares in the Company will increase by 97,504,157, from 499,782,948 shares to 597,287,105 shares, and the share capital will increase with SEK 9,750,415.70, from SEK 49,978,294.80, to SEK 59,728,710.50. This corresponds to a maximum dilution of approximately 16.3 percent of the total number of shares and 16.3 percent of the total number of votes in the Company. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares and votes, respectively, in relation to the number of existing and additional shares and votes, respectively.
