As a result, the Executive Management Board resolved with the approval of the Supervisory Board to set the total volume of the rights issue at 1,486,732 new shares. Shareholders exercised subscription rights for a total of 582,240 new shares. A total of 904,492 shares were available under shareholders’ oversubscription rights which have been fully placed to the shareholders through the custodian banks within the transaction. The Company’s main shareholder – dievini Hopp BioTech holding GmbH & Co. KG, Walldorf – exercised all of its subscription rights and subscribed to more shares under oversubscription. WILEX AG plans to use the gross proceeds of approximately EUR 4.16 million from the rights issue to finance the further development of the ADC technology, in particular the GMP transfer of the drug production, as well as to enhance its equity. Following the entry of the capital increase in the Commercial Register – which is scheduled for the next few days – the total number of WILEX shares issued will increase to 9,305,608. The subscribed and allocated new shares are expected to be delivered on 13 April 2015, however at the earliest after they have been listed on the stock exchange in the regulated market (Prime Standard). Trading of the new shares on the stock exchange is also scheduled to commence on 13 April 2015. Due to the different dividend entitlement the new shares will be traded separately with the ISIN DE000A14KND2 / WKN A14KND until the planned inclusion of the new shares in the existing stock exchange listing (after the AGM on 30 July 2015). The sole lead manager of the transaction was Baader Bank AG, Unterschleissheim.
