Members of Medigene AG's management and Supervisory Board intend to subscribe for new shares as part of the rights offering and the private placement. Within the framework of a backstop agreement, an investor has declared his commitment to Medigene to acquire unsubscribed new shares in an amount of up to EUR 3 million.

"This capital increase will strengthen our financial position and enable Medigene to advance its corporate strategy to develop our differentiated T cell receptor engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapies, and also pursue new partnerships to expand our End-to-End Platform into TCR-based therapies such as T cell engagers (TCE) and TCR-Natural Killer therapies," said Selwyn Ho, CEO of Medigene AG. "The funds will also allow us to progress work for the clinical development of our lead program, MDG1015. Following recent positive EU and US preliminary regulatory interactions, we remain on track for an IND/CTA approval in the second half of 2024."

The Company resolved to increase its share capital from EUR 24,562,658.00 by up to EUR 4,912,531.00 to up to EUR 29,475,189.00 by issuing up to 4,912,531 new no-par value registered shares with a pro rata amount of the share capital of EUR 1.00 and with full dividend rights from January 1, 2023.

The new shares will be offered to all shareholders for subscription. Over-subscription is permitted. Any unsubscribed new shares will be offered for purchase by way of a private placement to investors within the European Union. The subscription ratio is set at 5:1, i.e. five (5) old shares entitle the subscription to one (1) new share. Organized trading of subscription rights will be arranged.

The subscription period for the new shares begins on April 24, 2024 at 0:00 hours (CEST) and ends on May 7, 2024 at 24:00 hours (CEST).
