ABG Sundal Collier AB exercises the over-allotment option regarding 977 906 shares in Oncopeptides AB (publ)

Further, Oncopeptides AB (publ) is notified that stabilisation measures have been effected in the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. The stabilisation period has now ended and no further stabilisation transactions will be effected.

As previously announced, ABG Sundal Collier AB (”ABGSC”) has acted as stabilisation manager in connection with the offer to acquire shares in the Oncopeptides AB (publ) (“Oncopeptides” or the ”Company”) and the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm (the ”Offering”), and ABGSC has, in its capacity as stabilisation manager, been able to effect transactions aimed at supporting the market price of the shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. It has been possible to effect such stabilisation transactions on Nasdaq Stockholm, the OTC market, or otherwise, at any time during the period that started on the date of commencement of trading in the shares on Nasdaq Stockholm (22 February 2017) and ended 30 calendar days thereafter (on 24 March 2017) (the “Stabilisation Period”). ABGSC has, however, not had any obligation to undertake any stabilisation, and it has been possible to discontinue all stabilisation at any time without prior notice. No transactions have been 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 ABGSC and Carnegie Investment Bank AB (the “Joint Global Coordinators”), 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. Joint Global Coordinators now notifies that the over-allotment option regarding 977,906 new shares has been exercised.

The Company will thereby be provided with additional funds of approximately SEK 45 million, which means that the Company will have been provided with a total of approximately SEK 695 million through the Offering, before deduction of issue expenses. After registration of the new shares that will be issued within the scope of the over-allotment option, the number of shares and votes in the Company will amount to 39,806,021. The subscription price for the new shares is set to SEK 46 per share, the same as the subscription price as in the Offering.

Further, ABGSC has announced that ABGSC (contact: Carl Rosenius, tel: +46 8 566 286 85), has performed stabilisation (in accordance with Article 3.2(d) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation) on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with what is set out below.

 
The stabilisation period regarding the Offering has now ended and no further stabilisation transactions will be effected. Specified below is a summary of the stabilisation transactions which have been effected during the stabilisation period in accordance with this press release and the press releases as of 2 March, 13 March and 22 March 2017. All transactions during the stabilisation period have been effected on Nasdaq Stockholm in the price interval of SEK 41.3 and SEK 46 and no stabilisation transactions have been effected on other dates than those specified below.

 
Consequently, all shares in Oncopeptides which ABGSC has lent from Stiftelsen Industrifonden and HealthCap VI L.P. in order to cover over-allotment in connection with the Offering will be re-delivered.
