Immunovia AB Concludes Warrant Series TO 2
In a significant development for Immunovia AB, the company recently announced the successful conclusion of its warrants series TO 2. The exercise period, which ran from January 2 to January 16, 2025, saw an impressive participation rate of approximately 74.1% from investors. A total of
92,197,387 warrants were converted, resulting in the issuance of an equivalent number of new shares.
This move has reinforced Immunovia's financial position, allowing the company to generate approximately
42.4 million SEK before incurring issue costs. Such capital is pivotal not only for the company’s operational stability but also for accelerating research and development, especially regarding their next-generation diagnostic tests aimed at detecting pancreatic cancer.
Jeff Borcherding, CEO of Immunovia, expressed gratitude towards shareholders who participated, stating, “We appreciate the investment in Immunovia. This capital will enable us to enhance our preparations for launching our cutting-edge test in the US market later this year.” He further emphasized that the funds would support additional clinical data generation required for test reimbursement, highlighting the significance of thorough validation in clinical settings for any diagnostic innovation.
With the recent exercises, Immunovia's share count has increased from
169,711,476 to
261,908,863, while the company's share capital rose to
7,857,265.89 SEK. However, this expansion brings along a dilution effect amounting to approximately
35.2% for existing shareholders who opted not to exercise their warrants.
Interim Shares to Be Converted
As part of the warrant exercise process, the newly created shares will initially be represented as interim shares (IA) until they are fully registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The conversion into standard shares is anticipated to happen within the next two weeks.
