In the press release that the company published at 18.05 CET on 28 February 2024, it was incorrectly stated that a bridge loan of SEK 25 million will be offset through conversion to shares in the rights issue instead of up to SEK 15 million of the bridge loan can be offset through conversion to shares in the rights issue. Please find the corrected press release below:
The Board of Directors of NeoDynamics AB (publ) ("NeoDynamics" or the "Company") has prepared an information memorandum (the "Memorandum") in connection with the rights issue of shares of approximately SEK 25 million (the “Rights Issue"), which was resolved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 2 February 2024. The Memorandum has neither been reviewed nor approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Summary of the Rights Issue
- The Rights Issue comprises a maximum of 25,360,828 shares.
- The subscription price is SEK 1 per share.
- Assuming full subscription in the Rights Issue, the proceeds of the Rights Issue will amount to approximately SEK 25 million, before reduction of issue related costs.
- On the record day, one (1) existing share in the Company entitles to seven (7) subscription rights. Two (2) subscription rights entitle to subscription of one (1) share.
- The record date for the Rights Issue is 28 February 2024 and the subscription period runs from and including 1 March 2024 up to and including 15 March 2024.
- Several shareholders have expressed their support for the Rights Issue through subscription undertakings amounting to approximately SEK 10.1 million, corresponding to approximately 39.79 per cent of the Rights Issue. Furthermore, the Company has entered into agreements on guarantee commitments corresponding to the remaining part of the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue is thus, through subscription undertakings and guarantee commitments, secured to 100 per cent.
- To finance operations until the Rights Issue has been completed, the Company has taken on bridge loans from the Company’s shareholder Salénterprise AB (the “Lender”) totalling SEK 25 (the “Bridge Loan”). Up to SEK 15 million of the Bridge Loan can be offset through conversion to shares in the Rights Issue. The remaining part of the Bridge Loan will remain after the Rights Issue.
- The Generel Meeting has, to enable the Rights Issue, resolved on a reduction of the Company’s share capital in order to reduce the quota value to SEK 0.40 and resolved on an additional reduction of the Company’s share capital after the Rights Issue. The latter reduction resolution requires the approval of the Swedish Companies Registration Office to be executed and entails that the quota value is reduced to SEK 0.10.

About NeoDynamics
NeoDynamics AB (publ) is a Swedish Medical Technology Company dedicated to advancing diagnosis and care of cancer. The company’s first product NeoNavia®, a new innovative pulse biopsy system for ultrasound-guided tissue sampling, is currently being introduced to the market. NeoNavia® is CE approved, and in September 2022, received a 510k approval from the FDA. The biopsy system is built on a patented pulse technology, based on research at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. NeoNavia is evaluated for breast cancer diagnosis at leading clinics in Europe and launches in USA during 2023. NeoDynamic’s shares are listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Stockholm (ticker: NEOD). The company’s Certified Adviser is Redeye AB.
About NeoNavia®
NeoNavia® is the trade name for the complete biopsy system intended for use in ultrasound-guided sampling. NeoNavia® consists of a base unit, a hand unit, and three types of biopsy needles. The pulse technology drives the respective needle type, which facilitates needle insertion and placement in the suspected tumor. The system is designed to offer physicians and patients precise and robust tissue sampling for accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment.
About the pulse technology
The patented pulse technology is based on a pneumatically driven mechanism that enables high precision and control when inserting and positioning the biopsy needle, regardless of tissue type. The pneumatic drive unit that generates pulses is located in a hand-held instrument. With power from the base unit, the hand-held driver accelerates the biopsy needle with great control, even over short distances, enabling a distinct step-by-step insertion without affecting the surrounding tissue. This enables good access and flexibility in sampling, even in tiny and tricky localized tumors.
