Erlös von bis zu EUR 15,0* Mio.
Mailand, Italien, 14. März 2024, 17:45 CET - Newron Pharmaceuticals S.p.A.
("Newron", oder das "Unternehmen") (SIX: NWRN, XETRA: NP5), ein
biopharmazeutisches Unternehmen, das sich auf die Entwicklung neuartiger
Therapien für Patienten mit Erkrankungen des zentralen und peripheren
Nervensystems konzentriert, gibt den Abschluss einer Zeichnungsvereinbarung
über bis zu 2,05 Millionen neu ausgegebene Aktien mit einem institutionellen
Investor bekannt, der sich auf Investitionen in wachstumsstarke Unternehmen
diverser Industrien inklusive Biotech und Healthcare spezialisiert hat.
Im Rahmen der Vereinbarung zeichnet der Fonds zunächst 750'000 neu
ausgegebene Aktien zu einem Preis von EUR 7,33 pro Aktie, was einem
Bruttoerlös von rund EUR 5,5 Mio. entspricht. Darüber hinaus kann der Fonds
bis spätestens zum 31. Januar 2025 weitere bis zu 1'300'000 neu ausgegebene
Aktien zu einem gemäss einer vereinbarten Formel zu berechnenden
Zeichnungspreis erwerben. Die Aktienzeichnungen finden im Rahmen der
Kapitalerhöhung statt, über die die Aktionärinnen und Aktionären von Newron
im Jahr 2018 abgestimmt haben und die vom Verwaltungsrat des Unternehmens im
Jahr 2023 beschlossen und autorisiert wurde.
"Die Investition dieses spezialisierten institutionellen Fonds validiert
unsere Strategie der Entwicklung innovativer ZNS-Therapien", sagte Roberto
Galli, CFO von Newron. "Wir erwarten, dass die aufgenommenen Mittel unsere
Aktivitäten substantiell über die derzeit anstehenden wichtigen und
wertsteigernden Meilensteine in unserer Pipeline hinaus finanzieren werden."
Die ersten 750'000 neu ausgegebenen Aktien werden nach Zahlung und
Abwicklung voraussichtlich am oder um den 20. März 2024 an der SIX Swiss
Exchange unter der gleichen ISIN wie die bestehenden Aktien des Unternehmens
(ISIN: IT0004147952) zum Handel zugelassen und gehandelt werden. Darüber

limitation) about (1) Newron's ability to develop and expand its business,
successfully complete development of its current product candidates, the
timing of commencement of various clinical trials and receipt of data and
current and future collaborations for the development and commercialization
of its product candidates, (2) the market for drugs to treat CNS diseases
and pain conditions, (3) Newron's financial resources, and (4) assumptions
underlying any such statements. In some cases, these statements and

"believe", "target", and other words and terms of similar meaning. All
statements, other than historical facts, contained herein regarding Newron's
strategy, goals, plans, future financial position, projected revenues and
costs and prospects are forward-looking statements. By their very nature,
such statements and assumptions involve inherent risks and uncertainties,
both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts,
projections and other outcomes described, assumed or implied therein will
not be achieved. Future events and actual results could differ materially
from those set out in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking
statements due to a number of important factors. These factors include
(without limitation) (1) uncertainties in the discovery, development or
marketing of products, including without limitation difficulties in
enrolling clinical trials, negative results of clinical trials or research
projects or unexpected side effects, (2) delay or inability in obtaining
regulatory approvals or bringing products to market, (3) future market
acceptance of products, (4) loss of or inability to obtain adequate
protection for intellectual property rights, (5) inability to raise
additional funds, (6) success of existing and entry into future
collaborations and licensing agreements, (7) litigation, (8) loss of key
executive or other employees, (9) adverse publicity and news coverage, and
(10) competition, regulatory, legislative and judicial developments or
changes in market and/or overall economic conditions. Newron may not
actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in
forward-looking statements and assumptions underlying any such statements
may prove wrong. Investors should therefore not place undue reliance on
them. There can be no assurance that actual results of Newron's research
programs, development activities, commercialization plans, collaborations
and operations will not differ materially from the expectations set out in
such forward-looking statements or underlying assumptions. Newron does not
undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking
statements except as may be required by applicable regulations of the SIX
Swiss Exchange where the shares of Newron are listed.
Neither Newron nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees,
