NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECLTY, IN USA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN.

Bactiguard Holding AB (publ) (“Bactiguard” or “The Company”) hereby announces the outcome of the offer to acquire shares in Bactiguard and listing on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm (“the Offer”).

Interest in the Offer has been substantial, both among Swedish and international investors and among the public in Sweden. The Offer was oversubscribed, and trading in the Company’s shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm starts today.

Outcome of the Offer in brief:

Quote from Johan Rugfelt, CEO of Bactiguard:

”Bactiguard’s mission is to prevent healthcare-related infections, reduce the use of antibiotics and save lives by developing and manufacturing infection preventive healthcare products. In recent years we have concentrated on developing our own product portfolio and building up a global network of distributors. With the listing of Bactiguard, the final piece of the puzzle falls into place as this provides us with the financial strength necessary to genuinely realise the vigorous growth that we see ahead of us.”

Quote from Christian Kinch, Chairman of Bactiguard’s board of directors and principal owner:

”Bactiguard’s journey so far has been fantastic, from technical innovation and a licensing business to an international medtech company with its own product portfolio. During the subscription period we have experienced great interest in Bactiguard, from both the public and institutions, and it is gratifying that the offer has been oversubscribed. However, we have received requests from many investors that we, as principal owners, should retain a larger shareholding than was initially deemed appropriate. We have therefore decided to reduce the number of existing shares being sold. We see great potential in Bactiguard, and we look forward to participating in the company’s continued development and value growth together with new shareholders.”

Swedbank has acted as Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner and ABG Sundal Collier has acted as Co-Lead Manager in connection with the IPO. Cederquist is legal advisor and Lenner & Partners is financial advisor to the Company.

This is information that Bactiguard Holding AB (publ) is required to publish in compliance with the Swedish Securities Market Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication on 19 June 2014, at 07.00.



[1] The over-allocation option can be exercised, on one or more occasions, entirely or in part, by the Lead Manager as the stabilising manager, during a period of 30 days from the first day of trading in the Company’s B shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.

[2] Trade in the Bactiguard share on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm until 25 June 2014 is conditional upon fulfilment of the terms of the offer.
