Aquaporin A/S declares that today is the final day for trading shares that include pre-emptive subscription rights related to the upcoming rights issue. It is essential for investors to consider that shares traded after the designated time of 5:00 p.m. CET will no longer come with these rights. This means that any transactions occurring after this cutoff will exclude the ability to participate in the share subscription process.
Key Details About the Rights Issue
Trading Day Cutoff
The last cum-rights trading day is today. Following this, shares bought and sold will not carry the subscription rights necessary for the rights issue, commencing a new trading cycle.
Rights Allocation
For shareholders on record as of the specified date at 5:59 p.m. CET, ten pre-emptive rights will be allocated for each existing share held. These rights offer the opportunity to subscribe for new shares in the forthcoming rights issue.
Subscription Process and Rights Trading Period
Subscription Ratio Explained
The ratio for subscription in the rights issue is set at 10:3, meaning shareholders will need three pre-emptive rights to acquire one new share priced at DKK 1. This is a strategic move, designed to engage existing shareholders in the growth of the company.
Timeline for Rights Trading
The pre-emptive rights trading will commence on January 5, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. CET and will conclude on January 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CET. It is critical for investors to make their trading decisions within this window to benefit from the rights issue.
Important Considerations
Implications of Not Exercising Rights
Investors should be aware that any pre-emptive rights not sold or actively used by the end of the subscription period will expire worthless. This underscores the importance of timely participation in the rights issue to maintain shareholding stakes.
Subscription Period for New Shares
The period during which shareholders can exercise their pre-emptive rights to subscribe for the new shares will start on January 7, 2026, and will close on January 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CET. It is vital for current shareholders to act promptly to avoid missing out on this opportunity.
Potential Impact on Shareholders
Shareholders who choose not to exercise their full pro-rata rights may suffer a significant dilution of their ownership—up to 77%—if all new shares are fully subscribed. Thus, active participation is strongly encouraged to protect equity interests.
