Galapagos increases share capital through subscription right
exercises
Mechelen, Belgium; 18 September 2020, 22.01
CET; regulated information – Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ:
GLPG) announces a share capital increase arising from subscription
right exercises.
Galapagos issued 86,280 new ordinary shares on
18 September 2020, for a total capital increase (including issuance
premium) of €2,403,087.
Pursuant to the subscription right exercise
program of Galapagos’ management board, members of the management
board automatically are committed to exercise a minimum number of
subscription rights, subject to certain conditions. In accordance
with the rules of this program, CEO Onno van de Stolpe exercised
15,000 subscription rights. Three other management board members
exercised an aggregate number of 15,000 subscription rights.
In accordance with Belgian transparency
legislation1, Galapagos notes that its total share capital
currently amounts to €353,435,739.72, the total number of
securities conferring voting rights amounts to 65,340,842, which is
also the total number of voting rights (the “denominator”), and all
securities conferring voting rights and all voting rights are of
the same category. The total number of rights (formerly known as
warrants) to subscribe to not yet issued securities conferring
voting rights is (i) 7,018,637 subscription rights under several
outstanding employee subscription right plans, which equals
7,018,637 voting rights that may result from the exercise of those
subscription rights, and (ii) two subscription rights issued to
Gilead Therapeutics to subscribe for a maximum number of shares
that is sufficient to bring the shareholding of Gilead and its
affiliates to 25.1% and 29.9%, respectively, of the actually issued
and outstanding shares after the exercise of the relevant
subscription right. Galapagos does not have any convertible bonds
or shares without voting rights outstanding.
