Rights Issue Open until 8 May 2025 – How and When to Subscribe

Magnasense AB (“Magnasense” or the “Company”) invites existing and new shareholders to participate in its ongoing rights issue of units, aimed at strengthening working capital and advancing its innovative saliva-based disease diagnostics. The rights issue remains open for subscription until 8 May 2025. Please note that certain banks and brokers may have an earlier deadline for submitting applications for subscriptions of units in the rights issue. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to check with their bank or broker to confirm whether an earlier deadline applies.

Account holders with Nordnet and Avanza can apply to subscribe for units, either with or without the support of preferential rights, via their respective online services until 7 May 2025 at 23:59. The last day to subscribe for units with and without preferential rights via Eminova Fondkommission is on Thursday 8 May 2025, at 15:00. More information about the subscription procedures via Nordnet, Avanza, and Eminova Fondkommission is available at www.nordnet.se, www.avanza.se and www.eminova.se.

The rights issue is subject to both a minimum and a maximum limit regarding the number of subscribed units. If fewer than 23,809,524 units are subscribed for with and without preferential rights in the rights issue, including units subscribed for within the framework of commitments, corresponding to approximately SEK 15 million or a subscription rate of approximately 56.2 per cent, the rights issue will not be carried out. As recently communicated, Magnasense has received additional guarantee commitments totaling approximately SEK 8.8 million, securing the minimum subscription level required for the completion of the rights issue ahead of it closing on 8 May 2025. Including these additional commitments, subscription and guarantee commitments amount to a total of approximately SEK 15.4 million, corresponding to approximately 57.7 per cent of the rights issue.

The rights issue presents an opportunity for investors to support and take part in the development of a non-invasive, convenient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional blood testing. Shareholders who choose not to participate in the offering will experience dilution of their shareholding.

Why Invest Now?

Magnasense is developing saliva-based testing for diseases as an alternative to blood testing.

Magnasense is well advanced with its research and product development and is focusing its efforts on launching a saliva-based diagnostic platform to test for Periodontitis, a widespread and serious gum disease. This test is being developed for use by general practitioners, dentists, hygienists, and pharmacies, with a future vision to enable at-home testing, allowing individuals to monitor their own health.

The saliva-based approach opens the door to scalable diagnostics for a wide range of conditions including diabetes, heart disease, and neurological disorders, with strong future potential for AI-driven analysis of anonymised data to support tailored treatment recommendations.

Revenue will be driven by three channels:

  • Licensing of the diagnostic technology
  • Monetisation of anonymised health data
  • Bespoke test result reporting services

Magnasense is executing disciplined cost base optimization through ongoing rationalization initiatives, building a leaner, capital-efficient operation. These actions strengthen financial resilience and provide greater visibility into future capital requirements—key drivers of investor confidence and long-term value creation.

Highlights for Investors

  • Minimum subscription level secured: Ensures completion of the rights issue
  • High-growth market: Non-invasive diagnostics are in global demand
  • Revenue-ready business model: Targeting professional use first, with consumer rollout to follow
  • Clear path to scalability: Through technology licensing and data monetisation

Magnasense believes its UK subsidiary, Aegirbio UK, is ideally positioned to commercialise these technologies and drive early, sustainable revenue. The proceeds from the rights issue will strengthen working capital and support the completion of the development of the saliva test system, enhance the cloud-based reporting platform, and progress partnership discussions with leading manufacturers and distributors.
