The new shares (ISIN DE000A2E4SX4 / WKN A2E / 4SX) will be offered exclusively to shareholders at a 19:3 ratio by means of an indirect subscription right by Baader Bank AG, Unterschleissheim. Shareholders will therefore be entitled to subscribe for 3 new shares for each 19 existing shares held. In order to ensure an even subscription ratio, one shareholder waived its subscription rights from 2,396 old shares. The subscription period will begin on 26 April 2017 at 0:00 am CET and will end on 10 May 2017 at 02:00 pm CET. The subscription price is fixed at EUR 2.45. There will be no organized trading in subscription rights. Any new shares not subscribed for as a result of the offer may be purchased by shareholders only – also at the subscription price – as part of an additional subscription for shares. Binding offers for such additional subscriptions must be submitted within the subscription period. The main shareholder, dievini Hopp BioTech holding GmbH & Co. KG, Walldorf, Germany, has agreed to exercise its subscription rights and take over new shares not subscribed as part of the offer to exercise subscription and additional subscription rights. WILEX AG plans to use the expected gross proceeds from the rights issue of EUR 4,999,999.20 million mainly to finance the preclinical development of its proprietary ATAC candidate HDP-101 and to establish the GMP manufacturing process for Antibody Targeted Amanitin Conjugates (ATACs). The new shares (ISIN DE000A2E4SX4 / WKN A2E/ 4SX) are to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) without the publication of an offering prospectus and are expected to begin trading on 15 May 2017.
