March 19 2021 - 5:01PM
Mechelen, Belgium; 19 March 2021, 22.01 CET; regulated
information – Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG) announces
a share capital increase arising from subscription right
exercises.
Galapagos issued 99,814 new ordinary shares on
19 March 2021, for a total capital increase (including issuance
premium) of €2,258,042.82.
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 and in total he exercised 41,874
subscription rights. These 41,874 subscription rights were due to
expire in May 2021 and this exercise window was his last
possibility to exercise. Two other management board members
exercised an aggregate number of 10,000 subscription rights.
In accordance with Belgian transparency
legislation1, Galapagos notes that its total share capital
currently amounts to €354,359,437.71, the total number of
securities conferring voting rights amounts to 65,511,581, 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) 6,792,843 subscription rights under several
outstanding employee subscription right plans, which equals
6,792,843 voting rights that may result from the exercise of those
subscription rights, and (ii) one subscription right 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 29.9% of the actually issued and outstanding
shares after the exercise of the subscription right. Galapagos does
not have any convertible bonds or shares without voting rights
outstanding.
