THERAPEUTICS (Euronext Brussels and Paris: BOTHE), the
cell therapy company addressing unmet medical needs in orthopedics,
today announces that it has signed a binding term sheet for a EUR 5
million convertible bonds (CBs) facility arranged by ABO
Securities. The proceeds of the financing will be used to advance
the clinical development of Bone Therapeutics’ lead asset, the
allogeneic bone cell therapy, ALLOB.
ABO Securities, on behalf of the CB investor,
commits to subscribe to up to EUR 5 million in CBs. The CBs will be
issued and subscribed in seven tranches. A first tranche with an
aggregate principal amount of EUR 1.5 million will be issued
on the Closing Date, followed by a tranche of up to EUR 1 million
after 40 trading days from Closing. The issue and subscription of
the remaining five tranches with a principal amount of EUR 500,000
each can be demanded at Bone Therapeutics’ sole discretion over an
eighteen-month period, subject to customary conditions to be
met.
The CBs, denominated EUR 50,000 each, will be in
the form of unsecured, subordinated, registered loan. The CBs will
not bear any coupon and have a maturity date of five years after
issuance. The CBs are convertible into ordinary shares of Bone
Therapeutics. The conversion price will be equal to 95% of the
lowest 1-day VWAP observed during a period of ten consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of CB holder’s request
of conversion.
Subject to the fulfillment of condition
precedents, Bone Therapeutics and ABO Securities aim to agree on
and execute the final subscription agreement for the CBs and to
issue the first tranche of CBs by the beginning of May 2022.
The negotiations for ALLOB, with one of the
current Bone Therapeutics Chinese partners, for the global rights
agreement are still ongoing and the board of directors of Bone
Therapeutics is also continuing to examine opportunities to combine
certain activities within Bone Therapeutics, taking into account
the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders. Further
announcements will be made in due course, if and when circumstances
so allow or require
