On 22 October 2025, the Board of Directors of Alligator Bioscience AB (“Alligator Bioscience” or the “Company”) resolved on an issue of units, consisting of ordinary shares and warrants, with preferential rights for the Company’s existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”), where the final terms were resolved and announced on 24 November 2025. At the time of such announcement, the Rights Issue was covered by subscription and guarantee commitments of approximately SEK 78 million, corresponding to up to approximately 64 percent of the Rights Issue. The Company has now received additional subscription undertakings from a number of existing shareholders, including Roxette Photo SA and Magnus Petersson[1], amounting in total to approximately SEK 5.4 million (the “New Subscription Undertakings”). In addition, the Company has received additional guarantee commitments, both from existing shareholders as well as new investors, including HDF Impact BV, amounting in total to SEK 12.5 million (the “New Guarantee Commitments”), which means that the subscription and guarantee commitments thereby have increased from approximately SEK 78 million to approximately SEK 91 million, corresponding to up to approximately 74 percent of the Rights Issue. The New Guarantee Commitments are so-called top guarantee commitments.
Søren Bregenholt, CEO of Alligator Bioscience, comments:
“We are encouraged by the continued support from long-term investors, and we are pleased to welcome new shareholders. Their commitment is an important endorsement of our strategy and strengthens our ability to execute on the next steps in Alligator Bioscience’s development. Ultimately, this support helps us advance mitazalimab toward the market and closer to the patients who are in need of new treatment options.”
At the time of the announcement of the final terms for the Rights Issue, the issue was covered by subscription undertakings from a number of existing major shareholders and certain members of the Company's Board of Directors and management totalling approximately SEK 6 million. At the same time, the Rights Issue was covered by guarantee commitments from certain existing shareholders and a number of external investors totalling approximately SEK 72 million.
The New Subscription Undertakings are entered into with a number of existing shareholders, including Roxette Photo SA and Magnus Petersson1, amounting in total to approximately SEK 5.4 million. The New Guarantee Commitments are entered into with existing shareholders as well as new investors, including HDF Impact BV, amounting in total to SEK 12.5 million, and are constructed as so-called top guarantees, covering subscription between approximately 64 percent and approximately 74 percent of the Rights Issue. In total, the Rights Issue is thus covered by subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments amounting to up to approximately SEK 91 million, corresponding to up to approximately 74 percent of the Rights Issue.
For the avoidance of doubt, the New Guarantee Commitments will not be utilized if the subscription in the Rights Issue exceeds approximately 74 percent.
No compensation will be paid for the New Subscription Undertakings. For the New Guarantee Commitments, cash compensation is paid with 12 percent of the guaranteed amount, corresponding to a total of approximately SEK 1.5 million, or 14 percent of the guaranteed amount in the form of newly issued units in the Company, with the same terms and conditions as for units in the Rights Issue, including the subscription price in the Rights Issue.
Issuance of units as guarantee compensation to the guarantors who choose to receive guarantee compensation in the form of newly issued units under the New Guarantee Commitments is intended to be resolved on the basis of the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 25 November 2025.
Neither the subscription undertakings nor the guarantee commitments are secured by bank guarantees, blocked funds, pledges or similar arrangements.
