NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) (“Carnegie”), acting as stabilization manager, notifies that stabilization measures have been undertaken in the ordinary shares of Cinclus Pharma Holding AB (publ) (“Cinclus Pharma” or the “Company”) on Nasdaq Stockholm, that the stabilization period has ended today 19 July 2024 and that the over-allotment option has not been exercised.
As announced on 20 June 2024 in connection with the offering of ordinary shares in the Company and the admission to trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, Carnegie has acted as stabilization manager with the possibility to effect transactions aimed at supporting the market price of the ordinary shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such stabilization transactions could be effected on Nasdaq Stockholm, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, and could be effected at any time during the period starting on the date of commencement of trading in the ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter.
Stabilization could be terminated at any time without prior notice. In no event could transactions be effected at levels above the offering price of SEK 42. No later than by the end of the seventh trading day after stabilization transactions have been undertaken, Carnegie shall disclose that stabilization transactions have been undertaken. Within one week of the end of the stabilization period, Carnegie shall make public the date at which stabilization started, the date at which stabilization last occurred and the price range within which stabilization was carried out, for each of the dates during which stabilization transactions were carried out.
In connection with the offering, the Company granted an over-allotment option to Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ), Bryan, Garnier & Co. Limited, Bryan Garnier Securities SAS and ABG Sundal Collier AB (the “Joint Bookrunners”), which has entailed that the Joint Bookrunners, no later than 30 days from the first day of trading in the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, have had the right to request that a maximum of 1,702,381 additional ordinary shares are issued by the Company, corresponding to a maximum of 10 percent of the total number of ordinary shares in the offering at a price corresponding to the offering price of SEK 42, in order to cover possible over-allotment within the framework of the offering. Carnegie, in its capacity as stabilization manager and on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners, hereby announces that the over-allotment option has not been exercised. Carnegie will therefore return the total of 1,702,381 ordinary shares that Carnegie has borrowed from PetoMaj Invest AB and OBX Invest AB in order to cover possible over-allotment within the framework of the offering.
Carnegie has, in its capacity as stabilization manager, notified that stabilization measures have been undertaken in accordance with article 5(4) in the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, during the period 12-19 July 2024 on Nasdaq Stockholm as specified below. Stabilization measures were also carried out during the periods 20 June-1 July 2024 and 3-11 July 2024 as stated in the Company’s press releases on 1 July 2024 and 11 July 2024, respectively. The stabilization period in respect of the offering has now ended and no further stabilization transactions will be undertaken. Below is a summary of the stabilization transactions that have been undertaken during the stabilization period.
