Joint Bookrunner

Kempen is pleased to announce that it acted as Joint Bookrunner in the NOK 222 million capital increase via an accelerated bookbuild offering by Nordic Nanovector

Transaction highlights

  • The private placement comprised of c. 4.9 million new shares at a placement price of NOK 45 per share, generating NOK 222 million in gross proceeds
  • Based on pre-deal market sounding the accelerated bookbuilding offering generated strong demand from existing shareholders, new institutional investors and momentum players, resulting in a multiple times covered orderbook in which allocations were skewed towards existing shareholders
  • Members of the management team participated in the transaction
  • Transaction proceeds are envisaged to fund Betalutin® manufacturing activities, and clinical and commercial activities in preparation for its launch, next to general corporate purposes
  • This successful offering marks Kempen’s second Life Sciences ECM transaction in 2019. It is our first engagement in this sector with a Norwegian company, a testimony of our ambition to work with innovative Scandinavian companies, and building on our successful involvement with two Swedish biotech firms in the recent past
