“Our ability to choose if, and when, to access funds under this facility provides us with important flexibility going forward. The facility gives us a valuable additional financial resource to accomplish the commercialization of our product portfolio”, said Patrik Lundström, Chief Executive Officer of Obducat.

Under the agreement, Obducat has a right but not an obligation to issue new class B shares to Yorkville on several occasions during a 48-month period up to an aggregate amount of SEK 30 million. The subscription price for new shares shall be 95 percent of the lowest daily volume weighted average price for Obducat’s class B share during five trading days after Obducat notifying Yorkville that a new issue under the facility will be made. Further, in connection with each new issue, Obducat has a right to determine a floor price below which the company will not issue any shares. No single new issue under the facility may exceed SEK 400,000 of proceeds. Further, Yorkville is only obliged to subscribe for such number of shares that Yorkville’s holdings in the company does not exceed 4.99 percent of the total number of shares in Obducat. The facility entails certain customary representations and warranties and covenants by Obducat to Yorkville. 

In consideration for Yorkville’s undertakings under the agreement, Yorkville is entitled to a fee of 1.5 per cent of the SEK 30 million committed amount. Obducat will also reimburse Yorkville for certain legal costs. 

The agreement is conditional upon approval by the general meeting of Obducat, including an initial authorization to issue new shares under the facility.
