Bonds Financing and Warrants
Fenja Capital provided the first tranche of EUR 10 million in non-convertible bonds, with issuance expected on June 25, 2026. A second tranche of EUR 4 million may be drawn in Q4 2026, subject to market capitalization and liquidity conditions. The bonds carry an interest rate of three-month EURIBOR plus 3.00% per annum, with a floor of 2.00%, and mature on May 26, 2028, extendable to November 26, 2028.
As part of the transaction, 2,240,424 warrants were issued to Fenja Capital, exercisable over five years at an initial price of EUR 3.71 per share. The warrants represent a potential dilution of 5.00% based on shares outstanding immediately after the transaction.
Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from the transaction, estimated at approximately EUR 25.2 million, will be allocated to specific development milestones. EUR 10 million is designated for the Phase 2b sepsis trial, with study initiation planned for 2026 and topline data expected by the end of the first half of 2028. EUR 9 million will advance the LCAT Deficiency program toward an MAA submission to the EMA in early 2028. The remaining funds will support general corporate purposes and extend the cash runway into Q4 2028.
