The Transaction is being jointly arranged by IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG and Pareto Securities AS (together, the “Joint Lead Managers”). The issuance is intended to be carried out as a public offering (“Offering”) in Germany, Luxembourg and Austria based on a securities prospectus (“Prospectus”) which is expected to be approved today by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) and to be notified to the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA). The public offering relates to bonds with a total nominal value of up to EUR 50 million. The Prospectus will be published on the websites of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.luxse.com) and the Company (www.formycon.com) under the “Investor Relations” section. In addition to the public offering, the Joint Lead Managers also intend to place the Bond with institutional investors in Germany, Luxembourg and Austria, as well as in selected European and other countries, via a private placement. The net proceeds will be used to finance the development and expansion of the Company’s biosimilar product portfolio as part of its corporate growth strategy. Interested investors may submit their binding offers to purchase bonds during the offering period either through Deutsche Börse’s subscription functionality “DirectPlace” (from June 20 to June 30, 2025, 12:00 noon CEST) or via the Company’s website (www.formycon.com; from June 18 to June 27, 2025, 11:59 p.m. CEST), subject to an early closing of the subscription period. The Bond, governed by Norwegian law, will have a term of four years. The minimum investment amount is EUR 1,000. The interest rate will be based on the three-month EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 7.0% to 7.5% per annum. The final margin and total nominal amount of the Bond are expected to be determined and communicated on or around June 30, 2025 based on the subscription offers received. The Bond is intended to be included in the Open Market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Additionally, the Company will apply for the Bond to be admitted to trading on the Euronext ABM, a self-regulated marketplace operated by the Oslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Børs), within six (6) months following issuance. The final decision on the Transaction will depend on market conditions and the outcome of discussions with potential investors.
