NOXXON announces capital increase of €6.4 million by private placement to further develop its business

"The significant support that we have received from new European institutional investors who represent the majority of this financing is a mark of confidence in NOXXON’s plans for future development. This capital increase further strengthens NOXXON’s financial visibility and allows us to focus on achieving key operational goals including completion of the ongoing NOX-A12 brain cancer trial and advancement of business development discussions," said Aram Mangasarian, CEO of NOXXON.

The Supervisory Board decided on January 25, 2021 to proceed with a capital increase excluding shareholders‘ pre-emptive rights, in accordance with the delegation granted to it by the sixth resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of Shareholders of January 02, 2019. All the subscriptions were received and the final completion of the capital increase was acknowledged by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 25, 2021.

The total amount of the capital increase amounts to €6,424,748 and corresponds to the issue of 14,277,219 new shares at a subscription price of €0.45 per new share, i.e. a dilution rate of 23% of the capital after operation on a non-diluted basis. The subscription price of €0.45 per new share represents a discount of 22.5% on the average closing price of the shares over the five trading days from January 19-25, 2021.

Settlement of the transaction will take place on January 28, 2021. The new shares will carry current dividend rights and will be admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth Paris market, on the same trading line as the existing shares, under ISIN code NL0012044762, as of January 29, 2021.

The company’s issued share capital, which is currently composed of 47,178,313 shares, will therefore be composed of 61,455,532 shares after the transaction. As an indication, the participation of a shareholder holding 1% of the company’s issued share capital prior to the capital increase (calculated on the basis of the number of shares of the company’s issued share capital as of January 25, 2021), would be, after the issuance of the 14,277,219 new shares, 0.77% of the capital. The issued share capital prior to this financing was €471,783.13 and will therefore become €614,555.32.

The capital increase was advised by Champeil SA, and Marsac Advisors, and managed by Champeil SA acting as Lead Manager and Bookrunner.
