Approximately 55.1 percent of the Rights Issue was subscribed for on the basis of subscription rights, and the remainder, approximately 5.1 percent, without subscription rights. Furthermore, the guarantors are allocated approximately 19.8 percent of the total volume of the Rights Issue, which means that NeuroVive is provided with approximately MSEK 99.0 before issue costs, which are estimated to amount to approximately MSEK 17.7 (including compensation for the guarantee commitment of approximately MSEK 9.1, corresponding to 10 percent of the guaranteed amount of approximately MSEK 91.0).
– I would like to thank all existing shareholders who have participated in the issue for your continued support and warmly welcome our new shareholders. We are in a very exciting period in the Company’s development where the financial resources now provided ensure the implementation of crucial value-creating activities in the coming year, primarily in our clinical phase projects, KL1333 for genetic mitochondrial disorders and NeuroSTAT – our brain injury project, but also in our preclinical projects, as well as in our business activities, says Erik Kinnman, CEO of NeuroVive.
