PCI Biotech: Rights issue approved by the extraordinary general meeting


Oslo 8 December, 2016. An extraordinary general meeting (the "EGM") of the shareholders of PCI Biotech Holding ASA ("PCI Biotech") was held today, 8 December 2016 at 09:00 CET. 8,527,123 shares were represented at the meeting, corresponding to 57.2 percent of the share capital.

The EGM approved the Board of Directors' proposed resolutions as set forth in the notice of the EGM issued on 17 November 2016. Compared to the notice of the extraordinary general meeting, the Board of Directors proposed at the general meeting to revise the payment date in the rights issue from 12 to 16 January 2017, which amended proposal was resolved by the general meeting.

The PCI Biotech share will, for trades subject to the ordinary T+2 settlement in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS), consequently trade exclusive of the right to receive subscription rights in the rights issue from and including tomorrow, 9 December 2016. Detailed terms of the rights issue will be included in the prospectus, expected to be published on or about 14 December 2016.

The minutes of the EGM are attached, and are also available on www.pcibiotech.com.

In PCI Biotech's stock exchange announcement dated 17 November 2016, the Company communicated certain expected dates relative to the completion of the guaranteed rights issue, of which some dates, upon further assessment, must be extended in time. Given the current timetable, as will be communicated by the Company in detail in the prospectus, the Company expects that the allocation date, whereby allocations in the rights issue will be made and notified to the subscribers, will be on or about 10 January 2017, payment date for the subscription amounts will be on 16 January 2017 (as referenced above) and the registration of the share capital increase in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises will be completed on or about 20 January 2017.
