Chordate Medical Holding AB publishes annual report for 2024

Chordate Medical Holding AB (Publ) has today published its annual report for the fiscal year 2024. The annual report is available on Chordate's website www.chordate.com and is attached to this press release.

Chordate Medical Receives Trademark Registration for Ozilia® in the United States

Chordate Medical Holding AB announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has decided to grant registration of Chordate’s trademark OZILIA.

This marks the fifth national registration of OZILIA under the Madrid Protocol, meaning that the trademark is now registered in the U.S., Israel, Japan, China, and the United Kingdom. A corresponding application for registration in Brazil is currently under review. Since 2023, the trademark has also been registered in the European Union.

“The OZILIA trademark has been well received by the market, and protecting it through registrations is part of our IP strategy aimed at building long-term value in the company and making the business more attractive to potential buyers,” says Anders Weilandt, CEO of Chordate Medical.

”The treatment makes a big difference for me” – New article in Svenska Dagbladet about Ozilia from Chordate

Svenska Dagbladet highlights Chordate Medical’s migraine treatment Ozilia in a new feature – and meets one of the first Swedes to try the method.

In the article, Margareta Hoas shares her story of a life marked by chronic migraines, numerous failed treatment attempts and medications, and how Ozilia has finally provided her with noticeable relief.

“It makes a big difference for me. It brings the pain down two notches on the scale and makes life more bearable,” she tells the newspaper.

Migraine expert Lars Edvinsson, Professor of Internal Medicine at Lund University, also sees potential in the method as a possible complement to established CGRP inhibitors – medications currently used to prevent migraine attacks but which don’t work for everyone.

“These [CGRP inhibitors] have helped a large portion of those suffering from migraines. But there is still a group of patients that does not respond to the treatment. If the results hold up, the [Ozilia] method could function as a complement to already established CGRP inhibitor treatments,” he tells Svenska Dagbladet.

COMMENTS FROM CEO ANDERS WEILANDT

Market breakthrough and last step toward exit

In 2024, Chordate Medical Holding passed several significant milestones. We had a breakthrough in orders for our migraine treatment in both Germany and Saudi Arabia at the same time as Switzerland became a new focus market, and we also received our first order there. However, the largest event of the year was the initiation of the last step in our exit strategy through the appointment of Partner International Switzerland GmbH as an advisor to find an international buyer.

In January 2025, after the end of the period, the Company achieved yet another significant goal when the scientific article on the PM007 migraine study was published in the scientific journal Neurology*. The publication confirms that the medical efficacy of the Ozilia treatment is on par with conventional drug-based alternatives for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine. We also conducted a successful rights issue through which the Company received approximately SEK 17.7 million before costs, which will be used in continued work to achieve an exit.

Switzerland new focus market, first order received

In mid-June, Chordate added Switzerland to its focus markets for the Ozilia treatment and signed an agreement with Neurolite AG to be the Company's distributor and regulatory representative in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. At the end of June, a first order was received with a value of approximately SEK 370,000.

We have been noting considerable interest in Ozilia in Switzerland for some time, and we have been engaged in discussions with a number of interested parties. This, combined with Switzerland’s manageable decision-making processes, which entail a comparatively manageable process for realizing insurance remuneration, makes Switzerland a very suitable focus market for the Company.

Breakthrough for the migraine treatment in Saudi Arabia and Germany

At the beginning of January, Chordate trained clinic staff and assisted in the initiation of treatment for the first three patients in Germany. At the end of January, we also signed an agreement with a second clinic in Germany. The Company's ambition for the German market is to eventually also establish individual insurance compensation for the treatment. This is a key step for being able to further scale up sales.

At the end of September, we received the first order for two Ozilia systems for migraine from Saudi Arabia. Several weeks later, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority also approved our application for market authorization for the migraine indication with the product system Ozilia®Migraine.

Joint-venture agreement in Shanghai terminated

The Company’s joint-venture agreement from 2018 with a partner in Shanghai automatically ended in December 2024 since product registration in China was not successfully achieved. Chordate has only contributed information to the partner’s registration process and has not invested own funds in the joint-venture company. For Chordate, the project was an explorative attempt to create value on the market based on the Chinese patents that continue to remain in our possession.

Swiss advisor appointed to initiate exit process

In mid-October, the Company announced the Board of Director’s resolution to appoint Partner International Switzerland GmbH as an advisor to find an international buyer for the business. This marked the initiation of the final step in the Company's strategy. Partner International is a group with offices in Switzerland, Canada, USA and Australia that over 24 years has built a strong reputation as an advisor in numerous international deals in licensing, partnerships, and corporate sales, focusing on the life sciences sector.

We have made significant progress in establishing clear market validation in our focus markets, and this work will continue at the same rate in parallel to Partner International working to find the best buyer for the business.

Strengthened cash after rights issue

The rights issue conducted in February 2025 was subscribed to approximately 80 percent and raised approximately SEK 17.7 million for the Company before deduction of issue costs. With the improved cash flow, we can now both pursue the ongoing exit process toward the desired outcome and finance the activities and measures we believe are necessary to achieve this. We are very pleased that the Company has continued to receive support from its owners on the way to the exit, and I would like to thank all of our shareholders for this and for the confidence they have shown in us.

Focus in 2025

  • Pursue a successful exit process
  • Increase the number of installations in the focus markets
  • Implement the ongoing clinical studies according to plan

Kista, March 2025

Chordate Medical Holding’s Preference Share Admitted to Trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market with First Trading Day on March 17th, 2025

Chordate Medical Holding has received approval for the listing of its preference share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, with the first trading day set for Monday, March 17th, 2025.

In connection with Chordate Medical Holding’s recently completed rights issue, units consisting of common shares and preference shares were issued. Paid subscribed units (BTU) have now been converted into shares and preference shares. The number of issued preference shares amounts to 1,591,144 and will be traded under the ticker symbol CMH Pref with ISIN code SE0023848619.

The preference share is subject to a redemption clause and, under certain specified circumstances, entitles the holder to a dividend of up to SEK 12 per preference share, with priority over common shares. The full terms and conditions for the preference shares are outlined in the articles of association adopted at an extraordinary general meeting on January 28, 2025.

Chordate Medical Holding AB (publ) carries out a directed set-off issue to underwriters in the completed rights issue

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITHIN OR TO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, CANADA, HONG KONG, NEW ZEALAND, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, RUSSIA, BELARUS OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE ILLEGAL, BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL RESTRICTIONS OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR OTHER ACTION.

Chordate Medical Holding AB (publ) ("Chordate" or the "Company") intends to carry out a directed set-off issue of units as underwriting fee to those who have entered into underwriting agreements in order to secure the rights issue of units resolved upon by the board of directors on December 23, 2024 (the "Compensation Issue" and the “Rights Issue”, respectively). The subscription price in the Compensation Issue is set at SEK 12 per unit, which corresponds to the subscription price in the completed Rights Issue. Payment is made by way of set-off of the respective underwriters’ claim for underwriting compensation.

As previously communicated in connection with the Rights Issue, the underwriters would, in accordance with underwriting agreements entered into, receive the underwriting fee in the form of units, consisting of one ordinary share and one preference share in the Company. By reason hereof, the board of directors has, with the support of an authorization from the extraordinary general meeting held on January 28, 2025, decided on the Compensation Issue, which amounts to a maximum of 229,832 shares, whereof a maximum of 114,916 ordinary shares and a maximum of 114,916 preference shares.

The purpose of the Compensation Issue and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to fulfill the Company's obligations towards the underwriters as a result of the underwriting agreements entered into. Chordate's board of directors believes that it is beneficial for the Company's financial position to pay the underwriting fee in the form of units instead of cash. The Company has also recently carried out the Rights Issue which was not fully subscribed. Through the Compensation Issue, the Company can use a larger part of the proceeds from the Rights Issue in the manner described in the information memorandum published on January 31, 2025, in connection with the Rights Issue. Thus, the Compensation Issue is deemed to be beneficial for all shareholders.

Payment is made by way of set-off of the claim towards the Company, which consists of the respective underwriter’s compensation. The subscription price has been set at SEK 12 per unit, which corresponds to a subscription price of SEK 8 per ordinary share and SEK 4 per preference share. The subscription price in the Compensation Issue corresponds to the subscription price in the completed Rights Issue. The subscription price in the Compensation Issue was negotiated at arm’s length in connection with the procurement of the underwriting agreements, which was done in consultation with the financial advisor and after analysis of customary market factors. Thus, the Board of Directors deems that the subscription price, and other terms and conditions of the Compensation Issue, are marketable.

Through the Compensation Issue, the number of shares in Chordate increases by 229,832 shares, whereof 114,916 ordinary shares and 114,916 preference shares, to a total of 4,290,764 shares, whereof 2,699,620 ordinary shares and 1,591,144 preference shares, and the share capital increases by a total of SEK 919,328 from SEK 16,243,728 to SEK 17,163,056 (calculated on the number of outstanding shares in the Company following the final registration of the Rights Issue and the Compensation Issue at the Swedish Companies Registration Office). The dilution effect due to the Compensation Issue amounts to approximately 5.7 percent (calculated on the number of outstanding shares in the Company following the final registration of the Rights Issue and the Compensation Issue at the Swedish Companies Registration Office).

Financial and legal advisers
Chordate has engaged Bergs Securities as financial advisor and issuing agent in connection with the Rights Issue. CMS Wistrand is legal advisor in connection with the Rights Issue.

Chordate Medical announces the outcome of the rights issue

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITHIN OR TO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, CANADA, HONG KONG, NEW ZEALAND, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, RUSSIA, BELARUS OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE ILLEGAL, BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL RESTRICTIONS OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR OTHER ACTION.

Chordate Medical Holding AB (publ) (“Chordate” or the “Company”) today announces the outcome of the rights issue that was announced on December 23, 2024 (the “Rights Issue”). The Rights Issue involved so-called units, consisting of one common share and one preference share (a “Unit”). The Rights Issue was subscribed to approximately 59.8 percent with the support of unit rights and approximately 1.6 percent without unit rights. Consequently, 154,128 Units, corresponding to approximately SEK 1.8 million or 8.3 percent of the Rights Issue, will be subscribed through guarantee commitments within the base guarantee, and 187,500 Units, corresponding to approximately SEK 2.3 million or 10.1 percent of the Rights Issue, will be subscribed through guarantee commitments within the top guarantee. In total, the Rights Issue was subscribed to approximately 79.9 percent, providing the Company with approximately SEK 17.7 million before deduction of issue costs.

About the Rights Issue
Shareholders who were registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on the record date of January 31, 2025, received one (1) unit right for each existing share. Three (3) unit rights entitled the holder to subscribe for five (5) Units, each consisting of one (1) common share and one (1) preference share. The subscription price was 12 SEK per Unit. In addition, there was an opportunity to subscribe for Units without the support of unit rights. The Rights Issue was secured to approximately 79.9 percent by subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings.

Final Outcome
In the Rights Issue, 1,104,885 Units were subscribed with the support of unit rights, corresponding to SEK 13.3 million or approximately 59.8 percent of the Rights Issue. Furthermore, 356,580 Units were subscribed without the support of unit rights, corresponding to approximately SEK 0.4 million or approximately 1.6 percent of the Rights Issue. In total, the Rights Issue was thus subscribed to 61.4 percent through subscriptions with and without unit rights.

The outcome means that 154,128 Units, corresponding to approximately SEK 1.8 million or 8.3 percent of the Rights Issue, will be subscribed through guarantee undertakings within the base guarantee. Additionally, 187,500 Units, corresponding to approximately SEK 2.3 million or 10.1 percent of the Rights Issue, will be subscribed through guarantee undertakings within the top guarantee. In total, the Rights Issue was subscribed to approximately SEK 17.7 million, corresponding to approximately 79.9 percent, resulting in the issuance of 1,476,228 Units.

The outcome of the Rights Issue means that the authorization for a potential over-allotment issue, in case of oversubscription, will not be utilized.

Allocation Notification
Allocation of Units has been carried out in accordance with the allocation principles set out in the Information Memorandum published on January 31, 2025. Notifications of allocation to individuals who subscribed for Units without unit rights are expected to be distributed on February 20, 2025. Subscribed and allocated Units must be paid in cash in accordance with the instructions on the settlement note. Investors who subscribed for Units via nominees will receive allocation notifications in accordance with the respective nominee’s procedures. Only those who have been allocated Units will be notified.

Trading of BTU
Trading in BTU (paid subscribed unit) is currently conducted on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, and the last day of trading in BTU is expected to be February 25, 2025. The issue is expected to be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office during week 10, 2025, after which BTU will be converted into shares during week 11. The Company intends to apply for trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market for the preference shares issued in connection with the Rights Issue.

Through the Rights Issue, the number of shares in Chordate will increase by 2,952,456 shares, of which 1,476,228 are common shares and 1,476,228 are preference shares, from 1,108,476 shares to 4,060,932 shares, of which 2,584,704 are common shares and 1,476,228 are preference shares. The share capital will increase by SEK 11,809,824, from SEK 4,433,904 to SEK 16,243,728, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 72.7 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company.
