Regulatory News:
Ikonisys SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALIKO), a company
specializing in the early and accurate detection of cancers through
a unique, fully automated solution for medical analysis
laboratories (the “Issuer”), today announces that it has
completed a capital increase of €200k, by way of a private
placement.
This operation is part of the ongoing series of recent capital
increases aimed at strengthening the Company's financial stability
and diversifying its shareholder structure. The net proceeds from
the issuance, amounting to €200k, will contribute to financing the
working capital.
Legal terms of the Capital Increase
The implementation of this capital increase, carried out with
cancellation of shareholders' subscription rights through a private
placement, was approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer at
its meeting held on November 12, 2024 (the "Capital
Increase").
The new shares will be issued on the basis of the 16th
resolution of the Issuer's shareholders' meeting held on September
30, 2024. The settlement-delivery of the new shares will take place
on November 19, 2024.
The Capital Increase did not require the approval of a notice
(“prospectus”) by the Autorité des marchés financiers (the
“AMF”).
Main terms of the Capital Increase
The Issuer has issued a total of 130,720 new ordinary shares,
with a par value of €0.5 each, to the investor, pursuant to article
L. 411-2 1° of the French Monetary and Financial Code, in
accordance with the 16th resolution passed by its Annual General
Meeting on September 30, 2024.
The issuance price of the new shares issued under the Capital
Increase, equal to €1.53 per share, represents a premium of
approximately 3% on the Ikonisys share price at the close of
November 18, 2024.
Impact of the transaction in terms of liquidity risk
management and financing horizon
As of December 31, 2023, and as mentioned in the annual
financial report published on July 8, 2024, the Issuer's
consolidated cash position amounted to €9.4k.
In order to strengthen its financial resources, Ikonisys
completed a capital increase of €1m on January 2, 2024 and more
recently four capital increases for a total cumulative sum of €1m
in June, July, August and October 2024.
Taking into account these elements, the Capital Increase
completed and the previously secured financing facility, the
Company considers that it is now in a position to meet its
financing needs for more than 12 months.
Impact of the Capital Increase on a shareholder holding 1% of
the capital
On the basis of the 11,130,765 shares outstanding, the impact on
the shareholding of a shareholder holding 1% of the Issuer's
capital prior to the transaction is as follows:
