TheraVet announces the setting up of an equity-linked financing facility and updates on its financing strategy

  • Subscription of an equity-linked financing facility of up to €3 million
  • Financial conditions limited to a discount (5%) on the share price: no fees, commissions, exit penalties or expenses and no warrants
  • Taking place in a financing strategy to cover TheraVet's financial needs until early 2026

Gosselies (Wallonia, Belgium), November 20, 2023 - 6:00 pm CET — TheraVet (ISIN: BE0974387194 - ticker: ALVET), a pioneering company in the management of osteoarticular diseases in pets, announces the setting up of an equity-linked financing facility.

This financing facility of up to €3,000,000 takes the form of convertible bonds issued under the authorized capital and subscribed by the French company IRIS. They will be subscribed in tranches of €200,000, then converted into TheraVet shares over time, over a maximum period of 24 months. The bonds will have a par value of €2,500 and will be converted into shares at a discount of 5% to the weighted average share price over the previous 15 days.

Apart from this conversion option, no other benefits are granted to IRIS: no fees, no commissions, no expenses or exit penalties and no warrants.

This facility is part of a financing strategy designed to enable TheraVet to cover its financial needs until the first quarter of 2026, to get through the current period of economic and financial turbulence. As a reminder, TheraVet's current cash position of €1.157 million gives it a financial visibility up to the end of June 2024. An initial facility of €1,000,000 will enable operations to pursue until the first quarter of 2025. The balance of the facility, together with the implementation of other alternative financing solutions, is expected to cover the Company's needs until early 2026.

A first tranche of €200,000 was immediately subscribed by IRIS. Subsequent tranches will be subscribed progressively as the convertible bonds are converted. It is specified that the Company may terminate this financing facility at any time and at no cost.

The issuer does not intend to retain the shares resulting from the conversion of the bonds. They will be sold on the market or in blocks.
