Additionally, the guarantors have been allocated 38,163,542 units, corresponding to approximately 31.7 per cent of the Rights Issue. Through the Rights Issue, NeoDynamics will receive initially approx. SEK 58 million before deductions of issue costs. Based on the subscribed number of units, the board has determined that the reduction of the share capital shall be 57,837,327.5, from 69,894,051.4 to 12,056,723.9.

“I would like to thank all existing shareholders who have participated in the rights issue for your continued support and extend a warm welcome to new shareholders. Our first commercial order in the US, together with the issue, gives a significant boost to the company's continued commercialization and market processing in the US and at selected centers in the UK, Germany and Sweden. The rights issue was subscribed to a level similar to last year, which, taking into account the difficult trading conditions we have seen in 2023, we see as a success”, says Anna Eriksrud, CEO of NeoDynamics.

Outcome

In total, 58,243,013 Units, corresponding to approximately 48.3 percent of the Rights Issue, have been subscribed with and without the support of unit rights. 55,944,417 Units, corresponding to approximately 46.4 percent of the Rights Issue, have been subscribed with the exercise of Unit rights and 2,298,596 Units, corresponding to approximately 1.9 percent of the Rights Issue, have been subscribed without Unit rights. The guarantors have therefore been allocated 38,163,542 Units, corresponding to approximately 31.7 percent of the Rights Issue, resulting that the Rights Issue is subscribed to a total of approximately 80 percent and NeoDynamics will therefore receive approximately SEK 58 million before deductions for issue costs.

Guarantee Commitments

In connection with the Rights Issue, the Company has entered into agreements on guarantee commitments through partly a so-called top guarantee and partly a so-called bottom guarantee. No compensation is paid for the top guarantee. For the bottom guarantee a guarantee fee of 12 per cent of the guaranteed amount is paid in cash compensation, alternatively an optional compensation of 14 per cent in form of Units. In the event that guarantors choose compensation in the form of Units, these will be paid in the form of a directed set-off issue after registration of the Rights Issue. Guarantors who choose compensation in the form of Units must notify the company by 31 August 2023 at the latest.

As a result of the Rights Issue, the share capital increases by SEK 57,843,933.0 to SEK 69,894,051.4 through the issuance of 578,439,333 new shares, which results in the total number of outstanding shares in the Company increasing from 120,501,184 to 698,940,514. The Rights Issue results in a dilution of the ordinary shares of approximately 83 percent. The Extraordinary General Meeting on July 27, 2023 decided to reduce the share capital by an amount corresponding to the increase of the share capital through subscription of shares in the Rights Issue, with adjustment to obtain a suitable quota value. The Board has decided to reduce the share capital with of SEK 57,837,327.5, from SEK 69,894,051.4 to SEK 12,056,723,9.

About NeoDynamics

NeoDynamics AB (publ) is a Swedish Medical Technology Company dedicated to advancing diagnosis and care of cancer. The company’s first product NeoNavia®, a new innovative pulse biopsy system for ultrasound-guided tissue sampling, is currently being introduced to the market. NeoNavia® is CE approved, and in September 2022, received a 510k approval from the FDA. The biopsy system is built on a patented pulse technology, based on research at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. NeoNavia is evaluated for breast cancer diagnosis at leading clinics in Europe and launches in USA during 2023. NeoDynamic’s shares are listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Stockholm (ticker: NEOD). The company’s Certified Adviser is Redeye AB.

About NeoNavia®

NeoNavia® is the trade name for the complete biopsy system intended for use in ultrasound-guided sampling. NeoNavia® consists of a base unit, a hand unit, and three types of biopsy needles. The pulse technology drives the respective needle type, which facilitates needle insertion and placement in the suspected tumor. The system is designed to offer physicians and patients precise and robust tissue sampling for accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment.

About the pulse technology

The patented pulse technology is based on a pneumatically driven mechanism that enables high precision and control when inserting and positioning the biopsy needle, regardless of tissue type. The pneumatic drive unit that generates pulses is located in a hand-held instrument. With power from the base unit, the hand-held driver accelerates the biopsy needle with great control, even over short distances, enabling a distinct step-by-step insertion without affecting the surrounding tissue. This enables good access and flexibility in sampling, even in tiny and tricky localized tumors.
