The Rights Issue in brief
Each existing share in the Company held on the record date for the Rights Issue entitles to one (1) subscription right. Each subscription right entitles to subscription for one (1) share. This entails that the Rights Issue comprises no more than 538,043,455 new shares.The subscription price has been set at SEK 0.10 per share, which, provided that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, corresponds to total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 53.8 million before issue costs.The subscription period runs from and including 8 January up to and including 22 January 2026.Subscription rights not exercised during the subscription period will become invalid and lose their value. Trading in subscription rights is planned to take place on Nasdaq Stockholm from and including 8 January 2026 up to and including 19 January 2026.The record date for participation in the Rights Issue is 5 January 2026. The last day of trading in the Company's shares including the right to receive subscription rights was 30 December 2025. The shares will be traded without the right to receive subscription rights from and including 2 January 2026. Application for subscription for shares may also take place without exercise of subscription rights.The Company has received subscription commitments from existing shareholders totalling approximately SEK 14.8 million, corresponding to approximately 27.5 percent of the Rights Issue. Furthermore, Arwidsro Investment AB has provided a guarantee undertaking of SEK 15 million through a so-called top guarantee. In addition, an existing shareholder and a number of external investors have provided guarantee undertakings totalling approximately SEK 24.0 million through so-called bottom guarantees. In total, the Rights Issue is fully covered by subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings.The net proceeds from the Rights Issue are mainly intended to be used to complete the ongoing pilot study with Paccal Vet in dogs, the ongoing dose-determination study in cats, as well as to conduct preclinical trials with Cantrixil and a pilot study with Cantrixil in dogs. Furthermore, up to SEK 15 million is intended to be used to repay loans under the credit facilities entered into with Arwidsro in April and November 2025. In addition, the proceeds are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.Based on the current cost structure and development plan, Vivesto's assessment is that the proceeds from the Rights Issue will finance the operations into the second half of 2027.Timetable for the Rights Issue
