SciBase Holding AB Holds Extraordinary General Meeting to Approve Key Company Resolutions
On December 13, 2024, SciBase Holding AB (publ), a prominent player in medical technology, held an extraordinary general meeting aimed at approving significant proposals put forth by its board of directors. This meeting was crucial for the future trajectory of SciBase, a company well-known for its innovative platform, Nevisense, which leverages artificial intelligence and advanced electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology to improve dermatological diagnostics. The decisions taken during this meeting highlight the company’s commitment to maintaining a robust operational structure to support its growth objectives.
Amendments to Articles of Association
The general meeting commenced with a resolution regarding the amendment of the articles of association. Following the board's recommendations, the meeting approved changes that stipulate the company’s share capital would now range between SEK 16,440,000 and SEK 65,760,000. Moreover, the number of shares is set to vary from 328,800,000 to 1,315,200,000. Such modifications are designed to provide SciBase with the flexibility needed to navigate its future funding and investment strategies effectively.
Rights Issue Approval
In line with its intent to bolster its financial standing, the extraordinary general meeting also sanctioned the board's earlier resolution to initiate a rights issue. This will allow existing shareholders to acquire new units at a favorable rate, thereby fostering loyalty and investment within its shareholder base. Each current shareholder, as of the record date of December 20, 2024, will receive one unit right per share held, with five rights entitling the holder to purchase one unit. Each unit comprises three new shares and warrants, which are issued at no extra charge. The issued share prices set at SEK 0.45 per share are positioned strategically to encourage participation from existing investors.
The subscription period for the new units spans from December 27, 2024, until January 13, 2025. It is anticipated that this fundraising method could yield significant capital, which will subsequently be executed in a manner designed to promote the rapid growth and sustainability of the company.
Future Warrant Provisions
Additionally, the meeting highlighted the potential value generated via the series of warrants tied to these units. Each warrant will allow investors to purchase new shares at a price reflective of the company's performance over a specified measurement period in the future. This mechanism serves as an incentive for shareholders to engage positively with the company as it moves forward, ensuring a vested interest in the ongoing success of its innovative medical technologies.
Directed Issue Celebration
Lastly, the extraordinary general meeting endorsed a directed issue set forth by the board of directors earlier in November, allowing for the issuance of a maximum of 16,669,624 units to a selection of investors and strategists. This directed issue, priced similarly to the rights issue, allows for an increase in capital while also ensuring that key stakeholders remain engaged in the company’s vision.
SciBase is resolute in its mission to elevate patient care through advanced technology and innovation. As it prepares for these changes post-meeting, the company reiterates its dedication to minimizing patient suffering and enhancing the quality of dermatological care. With its roots in over 20 years of research at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, SciBase is poised for growth and continued leadership in the dermatological field.
As the company gears up for these new initiatives, stakeholders and interested parties can find more information about SciBase’s operations and financial performance on its official website. The company remains committed to transparency and open communication as it embarks on these significant developments.
