Q-linea announces determined exercise price for warrants series TO 1 and update regarding subscription intentions

Q-linea AB (publ) (“Q-linea” or the “Company”) hereby announces that the exercise price for warrants series TO 1 (the “warrants”) has been determined to SEK 0.03. The exercise period for the warrants commences on 5 May 2025 and runs up to and including 19 May 2025. The last day for trading in the warrants is 15 May 2025. In addition to the subscription intentions of the Company’s major shareholders announced on 16 April 2025, which comprise approximately 61 percent of the outstanding warrants, Q-linea has also received subscription intentions from all members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management who hold warrants, corresponding to their full holdings of warrants, totaling approximately 1 percent of the outstanding warrants. This means that subscription intentions totaling approximately 62 percent of the outstanding warrants, corresponding to approximately SEK 40.5 million, have been received from major shareholders, including Ulf Landegren (Landegren Gene Technology AB), Investment AB Öresund, Transferator AB and Fjärde AP-fonden, and the Company’s Board of Directors and management, including the Company’s CEO Stuart Gander.

Q-linea carried out a rights issue of units in January 2025 (the “Rights Issue”). Each unit issued in the Rights Issue consisted of two (2) shares and one (1) warrant series TO 1. One (1) warrant series TO 1 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company. The subscription price for the warrants was set at 70 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from and including 14 April 2025 up to and including 29 April 2025, however not lower than the quota value of the share (SEK 0.01 per share). The volume-weighted average price during the pricing period amounted to approximately SEK 0.04 per share, and thus the subscription price, in accordance with Euroclear’s limitation on two decimal points, is set at SEK 0.03 per share. If all warrants are exercised, Q-linea will thus receive approximately SEK 65.0 million before issue costs (the “Warrant Programme”).

In addition to the above, the Company has now also received subscription intentions from all members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management who hold warrants corresponding to their full holdings of warrants, totaling approximately 1 percent of the Warrant Program, corresponding to approximately SEK 0.6 million. This means that subscription intentions totaling approximately [62] percent of the Warrant Program, corresponding to approximately SEK 40.5 million, have been received from major shareholders, including Ulf Landegren (Landegren Gene Technology AB), Investment AB Öresund, Transferator AB and Fjärde AP-fonden, and the Company’s board of directors and management, including the Company’s CEO Stuart Gander.
