BONE THERAPEUTICS announces that it has signed the definitive subscription agreement for a maximum EUR 5 million convertible bonds (CBs) facility arranged by ABO Securities, through its affiliated entity Global Tech Opportunities 15. The proceeds of the financing will contribute to continuing to advance the clinical development of Bone Therapeutics’ lead asset, its allogeneic bone cell therapy, ALLOB.
ABO Securities has committed to subscribe to up to EUR 5 million in CBs. The CBs will be issued and subscribed in ten tranches. A first tranche of 10 CBs with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 0.5 million will be subscribed by ABO before notary by the end of this week or early next week. The issue and subscription of the remaining nine tranches with a principal amount of EUR 500,000 each can be requested at Bone Therapeutics’ sole discretion over an eighteen-month period beginning on the signing date of the subscription agreement, subject to customary conditions to be met. More precisely, Bone Therapeutics shall be entitled to require the investor to subscribe to a new tranche without the investor’s prior written consent, following a period whose duration shall be of (i) five (5) trading days following the closing date of the first tranche and following the closing date of the second tranche and of (ii) thirty (30) trading days following the closing date of each tranche from the third tranche onwards, subject to customary conditions to be met.
The CBs, denominated EUR 50,000 each, will be in the form of unsecured, subordinated, registered bonds. 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 of the ordinary shares of Bone Therapeutics observed during a period of ten consecutive trading days expiring on the trading day immediately preceding the date of CB holder’s request of conversion.
The negotiations for ALLOB, with one of the current Bone Therapeutics Chinese partners, for the global rights agreement are still ongoing. In parallel, the board of directors of Bone Therapeutics continues to examine opportunities to combine certain activities within Bone Therapeutics, taking into account the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders. The exclusive reverse merger discussions with Medsenic are progressing well. Further announcements will be made in due course, if and when circumstances allow or require.
