Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX) (“Nexstim” or the “Company”) announces that its board of directors have resolved to take a loan so that the Company issues special rights entitling to the shares pursuant to Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act to the lenders of the loan so that the lenders shall have the right to subscribe for the Company’s shares (the “Shares”) based on the respective special rights and that the lenders shall have the right to pay the subscription price of the Shares by setting it off against the loan receivable (the “Convertible Bond”).

The Company shall take the loan referred to in the Convertible Bond terms and conditions and shall issue simultaneously against the loan a maximum amount of 288,669 special rights.

The Convertible Bond is issued in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights to the parties approved separately by the board of directors.

The minimum amount of subscription of the Convertible Bond shall be EUR 100,000 which can be converted into 35,971 new Shares (or an adjusted number of shares as described in the terms) and pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Bond.

The special rights are issued to secure financing required to strengthen the working capital and the capital structure of the Company cost effectively and to secure the self-financing requirement of the EUR 1.5 million Finnvera Digitalisation and Innovation loan application. Therefore, there is from the Company’s point of view a weighty financial reason to issue the special rights.

The subscription period of the Convertible Bond commenced on 24 June 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Finnish time and ended on 24 June 2024 at 7:00 p.m. Finnish time.

The contemplated transaction aims to improve the financing position of the Company and to facilitate the Company’s bank financing arrangement, and the proceeds from the Convertible Bond will be used for general corporate purposes.

The loan period shall commence on the payment of the Convertible Bond to the Company and expire on the earlier of

(i)        the date of completion of the financing round of the Company first completed after the date of the terms; and

(ii)        on 24 June 2025

(hereinafter the “Maturity Date“).

The Convertible Bond shall expire to be repayable in its entirety in accordance with these terms of the loan on the Maturity Date. The Convertible Bond cannot be repaid prior to the Maturity Date without the lender’s consent.

An annual interest of 7% shall be paid to the capital of the Convertible Bond.

The lender is entitled to convert the Promissory Note into the shares of the Company in accordance with the terms described below.

One special right entitles the lender to subscribe for one new share of the Company (or for an adjusted number of shares calculated as described in the terms).

When converting the Convertible Bond into the shares of the Company during the Conversion Period, the subscription price of one (1) share of the Company shall be EUR 2.78 per share. However, if the subscription is made in connection with a financing round of the Company first completed after the date of these terms during the loan period, the subscription price shall be adjusted to be equal to the subscription price offered to the investors subscribing to shares in such financing round.

The subscription price has been set to equal to the 90-day volume weighted average stock trading price of the Company’s share between 7 February 2024 and 17 June 2024 added with 5%.

If, as described in the previous paragraph, the subscription price of one (1) share of the Company is more or less than EUR 2.78 per share, the Company will adjust the maximum number of new shares mentioned above so that the entire loan amount can be converted into shares of the Company at the subscription price described in the previous paragraph. Upon using the conversion right, a portion corresponding to the subscription price of a share shall be set off against the unpaid capital of the Convertible Bond.

The subscription price of the shares shall be entered in entirety into the Company’s invested non-restricted equity fund.

The promissory notes will be automatically converted into the Shares on the Maturity Date (“Conversion Period”).

The Shares underlying the special rights connected to the Convertible Bonds represent approximately 4.27% of the total number of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares immediately prior to the offering in maximum, subject to potential adjustments to the conversion price.

The complete terms and conditions are attached to this announcement as Annex 1.
