ABG Sundal Collier AB (”ABGSC”) has notified Oncopeptides AB (publ) that stabilisation measures regarding the Company’s shares have been effected
OT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA OR JAPAN.
As previously announced, ABGSC is acting as stabilisation manager in connection with the offer to acquire shares in the Company and the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm (the ”Offering”), and ABGSC may, acting as a stabilisation manager, effect transactions aimed at supporting the market price of the shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market.
Such stabilisation transactions may be effected on Nasdaq Stockholm, the OTC market, or otherwise, at any time during the period starting on the date of commencement of trading in the shares on Nasdaq Stockholm and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. ABGSC is, however, not required to undertake any stabilisation, and there is no assurance that stabilisation will be undertaken. Stabilisation, if undertaken, may furthermore be discontinued at any time without prior notice. In no event will transactions be effected to support the market price of the shares at levels above the price in the Offering.
In order to cover potential over-allotment in relation to the Offering, the Company has, at the request of the Joint Global Coordinators (ABGSC and Carnegie Investment Bank AB) committed to issue up to 2,119,565 additional new shares, corresponding to a maximum of 15 percent of the number of shares in the Offering at a price corresponding to the price in the Offering.
