Today, 15 May 2025, is the last day of trading in warrants series TO 1 in Q-linea
Today, 15 May 2025, is the last day of trading in warrants series TO 1 in Q-linea AB (publ) (“Q-linea” or the “Company”). Subscription of shares by exercise of warrants series TO 1 is ongoing until 19 May 2025. One (1) warrant series TO 1 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 0.03 per share.
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, was 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”).

On 16 April 2025, the Company announced that it had received subscription intentions from major shareholders, including Ulf Landegren (Landegren Gene Technology AB), Investment AB Öresund, Transferator AB, and Fjärde AP-fonden, who hold warrants corresponding to approximately 61 percent of the Warrant Programme, corresponding to approximately SEK 39.9 million. On 29 April 2025, the Company also announced that it had 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.
