Shareholding notification in BiBBInstruments AB (publ)
BiBBInstruments AB (publ) (“BiBBInstruments” or the “Company”) hereby announces, in connection with the recently completed rights issue in the Company, that the shareholding of Life Science Invest Fund 1 ApS (LSIF) in the Company will exceed the notification thresholds of 5 and 10 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company, and that the shareholding of CHWA AB in the Company will fall below the notification threshold of 5 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company, once the shares from the rights issue have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) and Euroclear, based on the Company’s knowledge. The shareholding notification is published in accordance with Spotlight Stock Market’s notification rules.
Jan Poulsen, CEO of LSIF, comments: "When we took on the role as lead investor in this funding round, we had already decided that we wanted to significantly increase our ownership stake, and we are pleased to become the largest shareholder in BiBB. Unlike many other guarantors, we have no plans to dispose of our shares in the short term, as we strongly believe in the upside potential of BiBB. Raising more than SEK 40 million is substantial for a company of BiBB’s size, and we see this as a clear vote of confidence. It will enable BiBB to execute on its business plan towards profitability without diverting management resources to additional financing, as we believe this funding has clear potential to be the last one needed to reach break-even. We have high expectations for BiBB in 2026 and 2027 and look forward to maintaining a close dialogue with the company."
