Bulletin from the extraordinary general meeting of Ziccum

The following main resolutions were passed at the extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) of Ziccum AB (publ) (the “Company”) on 12 November 2024 in Lund.

Amendment of the articles of association
The EGM resolved, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, to adopt new articles of association. The new articles of association contain changed limits for share capital and number of shares to enable the rights issue of units that the board of directors intends to resolve upon in accordance with the Company’s press release on 10 October 2024.

Issue authorization
The EGM resolved, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, to authorize the board of directors to, during the period until the next annual general meeting and in addition to the authorization resolved upon at the annual general meeting 2024, on one or more occasions resolve on a new issue of shares and warrants. New issues of shares and warrants by virtue of the authorization may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, against payment in cash, in kind or by way of set-off or otherwise on terms referred to in Chapter 2. Section 5, second paragraph, 1–3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. Resolutions on new issues of shares and warrants by virtue of the authorization may be made with a maximum of the total number of shares and warrants that may be issued without amendment to the articles of association adopted at any time by the general meeting.

The authorization is intended to be used, among other things, to carry out the rights issue of units that the board of directors intends to resolve upon in accordance with the Company’s press release on 10 October 2024, which enables the Company’s continued technical development of LaminarPace® as well as further business development. The reason for why new issues of shares and warrants by virtue of the authorization may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is to enable the Company to pay guarantee compensation in the form of units to guarantors who provide guarantee undertakings in the rights issue that the board of directors intends to resolve on pursuant to the authorization.

CEO statement

Sharpening our focus and executing intensively on new abilities

Based on the generation of strong, extensive data with LaminarPace for mRNA in lipid formulations, we have validated an excellent position for this top development target. With such clear results for this most fragile entity, we have a solid position to address all types of biopharmaceuticals with LaminarPace.

We have updated our strategic focus accordingly, to address biological therapeutics as well as vaccines. In this large field we zoom in on the complex, fragile RNAs, plus protein-based drugs and vaccines. The therapeutic applications of the revolutionary mRNA technology are advancing fast, and this offers perfect timing to get new technology introduced in early stages of drug development. Drug projects, so called therapies, are also a good fit with LaminarPace capacity. This focus on the highest possible value for Ziccum, is complemented with a continued focus for new and better vaccines.

Proving LaminarPace for mRNA/LNP – even making inhalation possible

After proving excellent mRNA activity, both in partnered client studies and in our first animal trials, we are currently progressing with a more specialized animal study – the testing of inhaled mRNA/LNP. This is the sharpest edge of LaminarPace performance; no other technology has created inhalable mRNA/LNP so far.

In addition to the on-going project, engineering inhalable mRNA/LNP together with world-leading expertise, where the animal trials are just being completed, Ziccum has been invited to a new collaboration. A leading European institution was considering inhaled mRNA/LNP impossible – until seeing Ziccum present. A large international consortium is now in the works, to develop several mucosal applications of mRNA/LNP. All such applications require dry powder drug forms – which may be enabled by Ziccum technology. We look forward to announcing this when formalized.

For the topic of increased mRNA activity, the interesting work to understand the cellular mechanisms behind it is continuing, and we are preparing to add further patent protection for the valuable findings currently being generated.

Adding more partner projects for key clients

The project execution for ReCode Therapeutics with a specific mRNA/LNP therapeutic entity is just completed at Ziccum’s side. Resulting materials have been shipped to the client for assessment. As the potential benefits of dry powder forms of mRNA/LNP are significant for Recode, this client has asked Ziccum to present two more project offers – to ensure we evaluate the important potential. We are eager to look further into this.

Just after the quarter closing, we were happy to welcome a significant vaccine developer (Biotech Corp V) for a site visit in Lund, further assessing a collaboration and visiting our pilot facility. It is important to keep building the pipeline of dialogues. We are scheduling partnering meetings at the upcoming BIO-Europe conference for existing and new dialogues.

Executing on all the development projects, building intellectual property

The execution of Masterplan projects is continuously intense. In the recent period, the hardworking pilot team has generated LaminarPace materials for animal studies, process optimization work, nebulizer tests and the investigation of mRNA activity. This high capacity load is making it important to be careful about our client projects in parallel, selecting opportunities for the best near term and long term outcome.

The new expertise partnerships for optimizing the Ziccum-specific equipment components are rewarding, with good delivery of results while keeping strict budgets. The updated plan and new partner for the continuous processing project has enabled good savings on external costs. We will have a keen focus on this step in the Master plan in the quarter to come, and the 3D-modelling is a vital component.

The protection of immaterial rights is progressing, with an internal workshop for strategic planning held this quarter to ensure the best possible management. The international PCT patent families are taken forward and we are preparing for a next patent application based on new data.

Ensuring our solid progress ahead

To ensure the company’s financial foundation for continued development plans, the board of directors decided to propose a rights issue during fourth quarter to best serve Ziccum value and shareholder interests. In the current stock market climate it is not an easy feat, but initial proceedings already have generated good interest and secured new investors. We know we are building fantastic company value. Ziccum has generated solid proof for the disruptive technology possibilities, addressing the highest value market segment, and is pursuing collaborations with world-leading partners. We have the most interesting journey to take forward.

I want to extend my warmest gratitude to everyone involved in lots of enjoyable efforts – the team, our clients and partners, our owners and new investors, thank you!

The board of directors' proposal for resolution under this item 7 is conditional upon the EGM resolving to authorize the board of directors to resolve on a new issue of units under item 8.

Resolution on authorization for the board to resolve on issue of units etc. (item 8)
The board of directors proposes that the EGM resolves to authorize the board of directors to, during the period until the next annual general meeting and in addition to the authorization resolved upon at the annual general meeting 2024, on one or more occasions resolve on a new issue of shares and warrants. New issues of shares and warrants by virtue of the authorization may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, against payment in cash, in kind or by way of set-off or otherwise on terms referred to in Chapter 2. Section 5, second paragraph, 1–3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. Resolutions on new issues of shares and warrants by virtue of the authorization may be made with a maximum of the total number of shares and warrants that may be issued without amendment to the articles of association adopted at any time by the general meeting.

The authorization is intended to be used, among other things, to carry out the rights issue of units that the board of directors intends to resolve upon in accordance with the Company's press release on 10 October 2024, which enables the Company to finance the expansion of the Company's technologies and the Company's technical development of LaminarPace®. The reason for why new issues of shares and warrants by virtue of the authorization may be made with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights is to enable the Company to pay guarantee compensation in the form of units to guarantors who provide guarantee undertakings in the rights issue that the board of directors intends to resolve on pursuant to the authorization.

The CEO, or the person appointed by the CEO, shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required for the purposes of registration and execution.

The board of directors' proposal for resolution under this item 8 is conditional upon the EGM resolving to amend the articles of association under item 7.

Majority requirements
Resolutions in accordance with items 7 and 8 above require approval of at least two thirds (2/3) of the shares represented and votes cast at the EGM.

Further information
At the time of publication of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the Company are 15,958,775. The Company does not hold any own shares. 

Proxy forms and other documents related to the EGM will be available at the Company and on the Company’s website at least three weeks before the EGM. The documents will be sent to shareholders who request it and who provide their postal address.

The shareholders are reminded of their right of information according to Chapter 7, Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.

Beslutsförslag

Beslut om ändring av bolagsordningen (punkt 7)
Vid tidpunkten för kallelsen finns totalt 15 958 775 aktier utestående i Bolaget. Såsom ett led i styrelsens avsikt att genomföra en företrädesemission av units om cirka 30 miljoner kronor, med stöd av det bemyndigande som föreslås beslutas om enligt punkt 8 i dagordningen och enligt vad som framgår av Bolagets pressmeddelande den 10 oktober 2024, föreslår styrelsen att bolagsstämman beslutar om att ändra bolagsordningen genom att anta nya gränser för aktiekapitalet och antalet aktier. Styrelsen har härvid upprättat fyra olika förslag till bolagsordningsändringar vad avser gränserna för aktiekapitalet och antal aktier. Vilken bolagsordning som kommer att registreras hos Bolagsverket beror på hur många units som tecknas och betalas i företrädesemissionen som styrelsen avser besluta om med stöd av det bemyndigande som föreslås beslutas om under punkt 8.

Styrelsen, verkställande direktören, eller den styrelsen utser bemyndigas att, efter det att styrelsen beslutat om att genomföra en företrädesemission av units med stöd av bemyndigandet som föreslår beslutats om enligt punkt 8, och efter det att den företrädesemissionen har fullföljts och utfallet är känt, till Bolagsverket för registrering lämna in den bolagsordningsändring som är anpassad för företrädesemissionens utfall.

i) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 1)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 2 500 000 kronor och högst 10 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 15 000 000 och högst 60 000 000.”

ii) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 2)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 5 000 000 kronor och högst 20 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 30 000 000 och högst 120 000 000.”

iii) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 3)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 10 000 000 kronor och högst 40 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 60 000 000 och högst 240 000 000.”

iv) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 4)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 20 000 000 kronor och högst 80 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 120 000 000 och högst 480 000 000.”

Styrelsen föreslår även vissa mindre redaktionella ändringar samt att den verkställande direktören, eller den denne utser, bemyndigas att göra de mindre justeringar i beslutet som kan visa sig erforderliga i samband med registreringen av bolagsordningen hos Bolagsverket.

Styrelsens förslag till beslut under denna punkt 7 är villkorat av att stämman beslutar om bemyndigande för styrelsen att besluta om nyemission av units under punkt 8.

Beslut om bemyndigande för styrelsen att besluta om nyemission av units etc. (punkt 8)
Styrelsen föreslår att den extra bolagsstämman beslutar att bemyndiga styrelsen att, under tiden intill nästa årsstämma och utöver bemyndigandet som beslutades om vid årsstämman 2024, vid ett eller flera tillfällen fatta beslut om nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner. Nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner med stöd av bemyndigandet ska kunna ske med eller utan avvikelse från aktieägarnas företrädesrätt, mot kontant betalning, apport eller kvittning eller i annat fall på villkor som avses i 2 kap. 5 § andra stycket 1–3 och 5 aktiebolagslagen. Beslut om nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner med stöd av bemyndigandet ska kunna ske med högst det sammanlagda antal aktier och teckningsoptioner som kan ges ut utan ändring av den vid var tid av bolagsstämman antagna bolagsordningen.

Bemyndigandet avser bl.a att användas för att genomföra den företrädesemission av units som styrelsen har för avsikt att besluta om enligt Bolagets pressmeddelande den 10 oktober 2024, vilket möjliggör för Bolaget att finansiera expansionen av Bolagets teknologier samt Bolagets tekniska utveckling av LaminarPace®. Skälet till att nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner med stöd av bemyndigandet ska kunna ske med avvikelse från aktieägarnas företrädesrätt är för att möjliggöra för Bolaget att betala garantiersättning i form av units till garanter som lämnar garantiåtaganden i den företrädesemission som styrelsen avser besluta om med stöd av bemyndigandet.

Den verkställande direktören, eller den denne utser, bemyndigas att göra de mindre justeringar i beslutet som kan visa sig erforderliga i samband med registrering och verkställande.

Styrelsens förslag till beslut under denna punkt 8 är villkorat av att stämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen under punkt 7.

Majoritetskrav
För giltiga beslut under punkterna 7 och 8 krävs att det biträds av aktieägare med minst två tredjedelar (2/3) av såväl de avgivna rösterna som de vid stämman företrädda aktierna

Övrig information
Vid tidpunkten för denna kallelse uppgår det totala antalet aktier och röster i Bolaget till 15 958 775. Bolaget innehar inga egna aktier.

Fullmaktsformulär samt övriga handlingar relaterade till bolagsstämman kommer att hållas tillgängliga hos Bolaget och på Bolagets hemsida åtminstone tre veckor före stämman. Handlingarna sänds på begäran till aktieägare som uppger sin postadress.

Om Ziccum

Ziccum utvecklar LaminarPace®, en unik metod för torkning av biologiska läkemedel och vacciner i rumstemperatur. Metoden bygger på massöverföring istället för värmeöverföring. Tekniken licensieras ut till utvecklare och tillverkare av vaccin och biologiska läkemedel inom den globala läkemedelsindustrin.

Dessa är enkla att hantera och transportera och lämpar sig utmärkt för nya administreringssätt. Tekniken har framgångsrikt tillämpats på mRNA, peptider, proteiner, antikroppar, lipider och enzymer, samt på hjälpämnen och adjuvanter, och lämpar sig väl för industriell tillämpning.

The board of directors' proposal for resolution under this item 7 is conditional upon the EGM resolving to authorize the board of directors to resolve on a new issue of units under item 8.

Resolution on authorization for the board to resolve on issue of units etc. (item 8)
The board of directors proposes that the EGM resolves to authorize the board of directors to, during the period until the next annual general meeting and in addition to the authorization resolved upon at the annual general meeting 2024, on one or more occasions resolve on a new issue of shares and warrants.

The authorization is intended to be used, among other things, to carry out the rights issue of units that the board of directors intends to resolve upon in accordance with the Company's press release on 9 October 2024, which enables the Company to finance the expansion of the Company's technologies and the Company's technical development of LaminarPace®.

At the time of publication of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the Company are 15,958,775. The Company does not hold any own shares. 

Proxy forms and other documents related to the EGM will be available at the Company and on the Company’s website at least three weeks before the EGM. The documents will be sent to shareholders who request it and who provide their postal address.

Beslutsförslag

Beslut om ändring av bolagsordningen (punkt 7)
Vid tidpunkten för kallelsen finns totalt 15 958 775 aktier utestående i Bolaget. Såsom ett led i styrelsens avsikt att genomföra en företrädesemission av units om cirka 30 miljoner kronor, med stöd av det bemyndigande som föreslås beslutas om enligt punkt 8 i dagordningen och enligt vad som framgår av Bolagets pressmeddelande den 9 oktober 2024, föreslår styrelsen att bolagsstämman beslutar om att ändra bolagsordningen genom att anta nya gränser för aktiekapitalet och antalet aktier. Styrelsen har härvid upprättat fyra olika förslag till bolagsordningsändringar vad avser gränserna för aktiekapitalet och antal aktier. Vilken bolagsordning som kommer att registreras hos Bolagsverket beror på hur många units som tecknas och betalas i företrädesemissionen som styrelsen avser besluta om med stöd av det bemyndigande som föreslås beslutas om under punkt 8.

Styrelsen, verkställande direktören, eller den styrelsen utser bemyndigas att, efter det att styrelsen beslutat om att genomföra en företrädesemission av units med stöd av bemyndigandet som föreslår beslutats om enligt punkt 8, och efter det att den företrädesemissionen har fullföljts och utfallet är känt, till Bolagsverket för registrering lämna in den bolagsordningsändring som är anpassad för företrädesemissionens utfall.

i) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 1)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 2 500 000 kronor och högst 10 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 15 000 000 och högst 60 000 000.”

ii) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 2)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 5 000 000 kronor och högst 20 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 30 000 000 och högst 120 000 000.”

iii) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 3)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 10 000 000 kronor och högst 40 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 60 000 000 och högst 240 000 000.”

iv) Ändring av bolagsordningen (alternativ 4)
Styrelsen föreslår att bolagsstämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen enligt följande.
 
Gränserna för aktiekapitalet i bolagsordningens § 4 föreslås ändras på följande sätt: ”Aktiekapitalet ska vara lägst 20 000 000 kronor och högst 80 000 000 kronor.”
 
Vidare föreslås gränserna för antalet aktier i bolagsordningens § 5 ändras på följande sätt: ”Antal aktier ska vara lägst 120 000 000 och högst 480 000 000.”

Styrelsen föreslår även vissa mindre redaktionella ändringar samt att den verkställande direktören, eller den denne utser, bemyndigas att göra de mindre justeringar i beslutet som kan visa sig erforderliga i samband med registreringen av bolagsordningen hos Bolagsverket.

Styrelsens förslag till beslut under denna punkt 7 är villkorat av att stämman beslutar om bemyndigande för styrelsen att besluta om nyemission av units under punkt 8.

Beslut om bemyndigande för styrelsen att besluta om nyemission av units etc. (punkt 8)
Styrelsen föreslår att den extra bolagsstämman beslutar att bemyndiga styrelsen att, under tiden intill nästa årsstämma och utöver bemyndigandet som beslutades om vid årsstämman 2024, vid ett eller flera tillfällen fatta beslut om nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner. Nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner med stöd av bemyndigandet ska kunna ske med eller utan avvikelse från aktieägarnas företrädesrätt, mot kontant betalning, apport eller kvittning eller i annat fall på villkor som avses i 2 kap. 5 § andra stycket 1–3 och 5 aktiebolagslagen. Beslut om nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner med stöd av bemyndigandet ska kunna ske med högst det sammanlagda antal aktier och teckningsoptioner som kan ges ut utan ändring av den vid var tid av bolagsstämman antagna bolagsordningen.

Bemyndigandet avser bl.a att användas för att genomföra den företrädesemission av units som styrelsen har för avsikt att besluta om enligt Bolagets pressmeddelande den 9 oktober 2024, vilket möjliggör för Bolaget att finansiera expansionen av Bolagets teknologier samt Bolagets tekniska utveckling av LaminarPace®. Skälet till att nyemission av aktier och teckningsoptioner med stöd av bemyndigandet ska kunna ske med avvikelse från aktieägarnas företrädesrätt är för att möjliggöra för Bolaget att betala garantiersättning i form av units till garanter som lämnar garantiåtaganden i den företrädesemission som styrelsen avser besluta om med stöd av bemyndigandet.

Den verkställande direktören, eller den denne utser, bemyndigas att göra de mindre justeringar i beslutet som kan visa sig erforderliga i samband med registrering och verkställande.

Styrelsens förslag till beslut under denna punkt 8 är villkorat av att stämman beslutar om ändring av bolagsordningen under punkt 7.

Majoritetskrav
För giltiga beslut under punkterna 7 och 8 krävs att det biträds av aktieägare med minst två tredjedelar (2/3) av såväl de avgivna rösterna som de vid stämman företrädda aktierna

Övrig information
Vid tidpunkten för denna kallelse uppgår det totala antalet aktier och röster i Bolaget till 15 958 775. Bolaget innehar inga egna aktier.

Om Ziccum

Ziccum utvecklar LaminarPace®, en unik metod för torkning av biologiska läkemedel och vacciner i rumstemperatur. Metoden bygger på massöverföring istället för värmeöverföring. Tekniken licensieras ut till utvecklare och tillverkare av vaccin och biologiska läkemedel inom den globala läkemedelsindustrin. Genom att minska den stress som den aktiva substansen utsätts för under torkningen erbjuder LaminarPace® en unik möjlighet att ta fram termostabila biologiska läkemedel med partikel-teknologi i en torr pulverberedning. Dessa är enkla att hantera och transportera och lämpar sig utmärkt för nya administreringssätt. Tekniken har framgångsrikt tillämpats på mRNA, peptider, proteiner, antikroppar, lipider och enzymer, samt på hjälpämnen och adjuvanter, och lämpar sig väl för industriell tillämpning. Ziccum är noterat på Nasdaq First North Growth Market.
