NOT TO BE PUBLISHED OR DISTRIBUTED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE OR SOUTHERN AFRICA OR TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY WHERE THE DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION IS ILLEGAL.
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company"), the targeted neuromodulation company developing and marketing pioneering navigated personalised, non-invasive brain stimulation systems for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), refers to the company announcements dated 26 March 2019 regarding a subscription rights issue and approval of a prospectus as well as the subscription underwriting commitments provided for the Company in connection with such subscription rights issue.
Underwriting commitments were given in a way that the amount of the underwriting commitments corresponded to approximately 20.6 percent of the shares offered in the subscription rights issue, which means that the underwriting commitments amounted to about EUR 1.1 million. It has been agreed with the underwriters that the underwriting fee payable to them may be paid against shares of the Company instead of cash payment at the discretion of the Company. In accordance with the terms of such underwriting commitments and the Company’s prospectus, the Board of Directors of Nexstim has today resolved to pay the underwriting fees by issuing in total 939,004 shares to the respective investors with terms that the subscription price of such shares - EUR 0.115 per share and in aggregate EUR 107,985.46 - is paid by setting off the subscribers’ underwriting fee receivables against the Company.
There has been a weighty financial reason for the directed share issue because pursuant to the underwriting commitments, the outcome of the subscription rights issue may be considered to be more successful than the outcome would have been without such commitments, and the payment of the underwriting fee against shares and not cash is justified based on the working capital needs of the Company.
The new shares are issued based on an authorization received at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2018. The subscription price shall be recorded in its entirety into invested unrestricted equity fund. The shares issued represent approximately 2.65 per cent of all the shares in the Company after the registration, considering also new shares subscribed in the Company’s subscription rights issue which are expected to be registered within the Trade Register on 7 May 2019.
The new shares are expected to be registered with the Finnish Trade Register on or about 9 May 2019 and are expected to be listed on First North Finland and First North Sweden on or about 10 May 2019. After the issued shares have been registered with the Finnish Trade Register (considering also new shares subscribed in the Company’s subscription rights issue which are expected to be registered within the Trade Register on 7 May 2019), the total number of registered shares in the Company will be 35,400,873.
