The Directed Issue
The Board of Directors in Subgen AI has today, pursuant to the authorization from the annual general meeting 2026, resolved on the Directed Issue of a maximum of 671,717,301 ordinary shares as well as 105,000,000 warrants series 2026/2029. The Directed Issue is being carried out in the form of an issue with payment in kind in which Assured Mind S.L., Yann Roche and Loft Capital Limited have undertaken to subscribe for new ordinary shares and warrants series 2026/2029 in the Company (Assured Mind S.L., 312,520,039 ordinary shares and 50,000,000 warrants series 2026/2029, Yann Roche, 294,725,959 ordinary shares and 50,000,000 warrants series 2026/2029, and Loft Capital Limited, 64,471,303 ordinary shares and 5,000,000 warrants series 2026/2029) and, as payment for the new ordinary shares, contribute A shares in Substrate AI to the Company as payment in kind, whereby approximately 12.3 ordinary shares in the Company are issued for each (1) contributed A share in Substrate AI (12.3:1). The new warrants are issued free of charge. In total, 671,717,301 new ordinary shares will thus be issued by the Company in exchange for the payment in kind, consisting of a total of 54,699,000 A shares in Substrate AI. Allotment of the new ordinary shares and warrants in the Company will be resolved by the Board of Directors following the contributing shareholders' transfer of their A shares in Substrate AI as payment in kind. The Board of Directors has assessed the value of the payment in kind, taking into account, inter alia, the subscription price in Substrate AI’s issue of A shares of EUR 0.10 as announced by Substrate AI on 4 May 2026, and has determined the value to be in total EUR 5,469,900, corresponding to in total SEK 59,514,152.8686 based on the Riksbank’s EUR/SEK exchange rate on 4 June 2026 and following rounding of issued ordinary shares in the Directed Issue. The subscription price per share in the Directed Issue with payment in kind has been set at SEK 0.0886, corresponding to the closing price of Subgen AI’s ordinary share on 4 June 2026. The subscription price has been determined through arm’s-length negotiations together with a financial adviser. The Board of Directors considers the subscription price to be in line with market conditions and to reflect the demand for the Company’s ordinary shares.
One (1) warrant series 2026/2029 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new ordinary share in the Company. The subscription price upon exercise of the warrants series 2026/2029 has been determined through arm’s-length negotiations with the investors and amounts to SEK 0.25, corresponding to a premium of approximately 182.2 percent compared to the subscription price per ordinary share in the Directed Issue of SEK 0.0886. In view of this, the Board of Directors considers that the subscription price upon exercise of the warrants series 2026/2029 is in line with market conditions. The warrants may be exercised during three separate periods, the first running from and including 14 June 2027 up to and including 28 June 2027, the second from and including 12 June 2028 up to and including 26 June 2028 and the third from and including 11 June 2029 up to and including 25 June 2029. The warrants are issued free of charge and are not intended to be admitted to trading. A maximum of 105,000,000 warrants series 2026/2029 may be issued in connection with the Directed Issue. Upon full exercise of the warrants of series 2026/2029, the Company may receive proceeds of a maximum of SEK 26.25 million before transaction costs.
Considerations
It is proposed that the Directed Issue be carried out with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights. The reasons for deviating from shareholders' pre-emptive rights are as follows. The Directed Issue is carried out as an issue with payment in kind, where the consideration consists of A shares in Substrate AI contributed by certain shareholders of Substrate AI. The purpose of the Directed Issue is to enable the Company to acquire these shares and thereby increase its ownership and degree of control in Substrate AI, an entity which the Board considers to be of strategic importance to the Subgen AI group, not least in light of the significant potential the Board sees in Substrate AI's future revenue-generating capabilities. As the consideration is to be paid in kind through the contribution of A shares in Substrate AI held by these shareholders, a directed issue to the contributing shareholders is considered the appropriate structure for the transaction. A rights issue would not enable the Company to acquire the specific A shares in Substrate AI concerned in a corresponding manner. Against this background, the Board considers that the Directed Issue, on the terms proposed, is in the best interests of the Company and all its shareholders.
Share capital, shares and dilution
Through the Directed Issue, the total number of shares in Subgen AI may increase with up to 671,717,301 ordinary shares, from a total of 1,309,721,451 shares (of which 498,987,606 A shares and 810,733,845 ordinary shares) to a total of 1,981,438,752 shares (of which 498,987,606 A shares and 1,482,451,146 ordinary shares), and the share capital may increase with up to approximately SEK 1,746,986.83, from approximately SEK 3,406,293.28 to approximately SEK 5,153,280.12. All shares issued in the Directed Issue will be ordinary shares. The Directed Issue implies a maximum dilution for existing shareholders in the Company of approximately 33.9 percent of the capital and approximately 10.4 percent of the votes, calculated on the basis of the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Directed Issue.
Should all warrants series 2026/2029 issued in the Directed Issue be utilized for subscription of new ordinary shares, the total number of shares in Subgen AI may increase with an additional 105,000,000 ordinary shares and the share capital may increase with approximately SEK 273,081.57.
Ownership in Substrate AI
Following completion of the Directed Issue and the related payment in kind consisting of in total 54,699,000 A shares in Substrate AI, Subgen AI will directly hold approximately 58.6 percent of the capital and approximately 58.8 percent of the votes in Substrate AI.
