Planegg/Martinsried, August 26,
2024. Medigene AG (Medigene or the “Company”, FSE:
MDG1, Prime Standard), an oncology platform company focused on the
research and development of T cell receptor (TCR)-guided therapies
for the treatment of cancer, today reported that the 2:1 share
capital reduction and consolidation of the shares resolved by the
Annual General Meeting on June 24, 2024 will be executed as
planned.
As a result of the recent entry made in the
Commercial Register and following the previous withdrawal of one
share, the number of no-par value shares issued will decrease from
29,475,188 to 14,737,594 due to the consolidation of the shares at
a ratio of 2:1 as announced. The conversion of the shares in the
share deposit accounts will take place automatically with a value
date (ex-date) on August 29, 2024. The converted Medigene shares
will be traded on the stock exchange under the new securities
identification number WKN A40ESG (ISIN: DE000A40ESG2) from August
29, 2024. This measure does not impact the value of the Company and
has no effect on the individual shareholders’ percentage share in
Medigene AG.
As an accounting measure, the reduction will
result in a reclassification on the liabilities side of Medigene
AG's commercial balance sheet from “subscribed capital” to “capital
reserves”. This is intended to raise the market value of the share
significantly above the nominal value of EUR 1.00 again and to
increase Medigene AG's transaction capability with regard to the
minimum issue amount of EUR 1.00 in accordance with Section 9 (1)
AktG as a precautionary measure, without any specific measures
currently being planned.
For shareholders whose number of shares cannot
be divided by 2 at closing on the reference date August 30, 2024, a
so-called “partial rights settlement” is planned. Shareholders can
decide individually whether to buy or sell 0.50 Medigene shares in
the partial rights settlement. For this purpose, shareholders are
expected to receive a letter of instruction prepared accordingly
from their depositary bank after September 2, 2024. If shareholders
do not issue their depositary bank with a corresponding instruction
to round up or round down, the respective fractional portion of
shares will be sold automatically and the proceeds will be credited
to the respective shareholders.
