CEST – Mithra
Pharmaceuticals SA (Euronext Brussels: MITRA) (the
"Company" or "Mithra"), a company
dedicated to Women's Health, today announces that it obtained
access to a new tranche of the amended loan facility concluded with
funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC
("Highbridge") and funds managed by Whitebox
Advisors, LLC ("Whitebox", and together with
Highbridge, each a "Lender") for an amount of
EUR 12.5 million.
On 8 August 2022, the Company and the Lenders
entered into an initial three-year term senior secured convertible
facilities agreement for an amount of up to EUR 100 million.
The first tranche of EUR 50 million was drawn upon signing of
the agreement, and the second tranche of EUR 25 million was drawn
on 31 October 2022. Today, a principal amount of EUR 48,860,161.29
of the amounts already drawn under the loan facility remains
outstanding .
The amendments to the loan facility that were
announced by the Company on 25 May 2023 have now been formalised.
The amendments include, amongst others, the access to the
aforementioned tranche of EUR 12.5 million, the change of the
conversion price of the principal amount of the convertible loans
from a floating conversion price to a fixed conversion price
(subject to certain customary anti-dilution and takeover
protections), and an increase of the interest of the loans.
The Company expects the completion of the
drawdown of the new tranche in the coming days. Upon completion of
the drawdown, the Lenders will be entitled to the last portion of
the commitment fee due to the Lenders under the loan facility,
representing 25% of an aggregate amount of EUR 2,911,372.65,
which shall be settled in 91,663 shares of the Company at a price
per share of EUR 7.9401.
In order to be able to draw the new tranche, a
meeting of the board of directors of the Company has been held to
approve the amended conversion features of the loan facility under
the authorised capital of the Company for an amount up to
EUR 19 million (issue premium excluded, as the case may be). A
copy of the relevant reports of the Company's board of directors
and statutory auditor that have been put in place for this purpose
will be available on the Company's website. In addition, the
Company will convene an extraordinary general shareholders' meeting
in order to approve the issuance of additional new shares to cover
the amended conversion feature of the loans.
The amendments to the loan facility and access
to the new tranche of EUR 12.5 million come in addition to
other measures to improve the Company's financial health that were
announced earlier by the Company, such as the EUR 2.5 million
equity raising by the Company through the issuance of 1,136,364 new
shares to the Lenders that was completed on 25 May 2023, the sale
of 4,221,815 shares of Mayne Pharma Group Limited that was
announced on 16 June 2023, the exploring of potential options to
maximize the value of the Company's CDMO facility, and a licensing
deal for U.S. marketing rights for Donesta®. The Company could also
consider selling additional assets, as and when an opportunity
would arise.
