PLEASE REFER TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE END OF THE PRESS RELEASE
The Board of Directors of Lumito AB (publ) ("Lumito" or "the Company") decided on November 10, 2023, to conduct an issue of units consisting of warrants of series TO5 and TO6 with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the "Issue"). Following discussions with Euroclear Sweden AB ("Euroclear"), the central securities depository in Sweden, the Company has been informed that Euroclear has changed its procedures for the subscription of free-of-charge units through an issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders. Euroclear will not allow the Company to proceed with the planned issue of free-of-charge warrants of series TO5 and TO6 at a subscription price of SEK 0.00 per unit. Euroclear's securities system (VPC) does not permit the registration of a subscription price of SEK 0.00 in the system. The board of the Company has decided, through a new issue resolution, to change the terms of the Issue to ensure its technically possible within VPC. The changes to the terms affect the preliminary timetable, the number of units issued, and the subscription price per unit. The record date and subscription period for the Issue will be postponed according to the updated preliminary timetable. The number of units will amount to 4,300,781 units, which means that existing shareholders in the Company will receive one (1) unit right for each (1) share held, and forty-eight (48) unit rights will grant the right to subscribe for one (1) unit comprising four (4) warrants of series TO5 and four (4) warrants of series TO6, at a subscription price of SEK 0.01 per unit, the lowest possible price in VPC. Upon full subscription of all units within the scope of the Issue, the Company will receive approximately SEK 43 thousand. The terms and conditions for warrants of series TO5 and TO6 remain unchanged.
Background
The Company was informed after submitting the issuance assignment to Euroclear that the technical solution, which was market practice for handling free-of-charge new issues of units with preferential rights for existing shareholders, no longer is feasible in the VPC system. Euroclear has revised its procedures for managing this type of new issue. The VPC system lacks the technical capability to register a subscription price of SEK 0.00 per unit, and the lowest possible subscription price for an issue with preferential rights in VPC amounts to SEK 0.01 per unit. Following discussions with Euroclear, the Company has not found a viable solution to execute the Issue under the previously communicated terms.
To proceed with the Issue, the board of the Company has needed to decide to amend the subscription price in the Issue to the lowest feasible amount in Euroclear's system, ensuring the Issue's technical feasibility.
To reduce the cost for shareholders to subscribe and pay for units, the board has decided to alter the number of units issued within the scope of the Issue.
Updated terms for the Issue
The Issue consists of up to 4,300,781 units, equivalent to 17,203,124 warrants of series TO5 and 17,203,124 warrants of series TO6. Each warrant of respective series entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company.
All existing shareholders of Lumito will receive one (1) unit right for each (1) share held on the record date 27 November 2023. Forty-eight (48) unit rights grant the right to subscribe for one (1) unit. One (1) unit comprises four (4) warrants of series TO5 and four (4) warrants of series TO6. The subscription price is SEK 0.01 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.00125 per warrant.
Upon full subscription of all units within the scope of the Issue, the Company will raise approximately SEK 43,000.
The general public is not entitled to subscribe for units in the Issue. Subscription without the support of unit rights can only be done by subscribers who have also subscribed for units with unit rights, regardless of whether the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date or not.
