München, 16.05.2024
GÖRG Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB, under the lead management of Munich partner Dr Bernt Paudtke, advised Medigene AG on a capital increase with gross proceeds of EUR 5.9 million.
Medigene AG is a biotechnology company founded in 1994 and listed on the stock exchange since 2000 with its headquarters in Martinsried near Munich and a US office in San Diego, California. The company develops highly innovative immunotherapies for the treatment of solid cancer tumours. Medigene focuses on differentiated T-cell-targeted therapeutic approaches.
The capital increase resolved on 22 April 2024 led to the issue of 4,912,531 new shares and an increase in the total number of shares to 29,475,189. 4,152,247 of the newly created shares were subscribed by shareholders as part of the rights offering. This corresponds to a subscription ratio of 84.52%. In addition, 760,284 new shares were placed with European investors. Members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Medigene AG also participated in the capital increase. Following the entry of the capital increase in the commercial register of the Munich Local Court, the Company's new share capital amounts to EUR 29,475,189.00.
Medigene AG achieved a gross inflow of funds of around EUR 5.9 million with the capital measure. The transaction proceeds will serve the biotech company as a basis to advance the clinical development of the main programme MDG1015 and at the same time to enter into new partnerships in order to expand the end-to-end platform to further therapeutic approaches.
Medigene AG once again relied on the proven transaction team led by GÖRG partner Dr Bernt Paudtke for the capital increase. The law firm has already provided legal advice to the biotech company on several occasions in connection with capital measures. CapSolutions GmbH and MC Services AG also participated in the transaction as bookrunners. Baader Bank AG was responsible for the technical implementation of the capital increase.
