The funds raised in the issue will strengthen the company's financial position until the topline data of the HER-096 phase 1b trial are released in Q3'25. The company commented that it will continue its partnership discussions and preparations for the phase 2 trial. The share issue will be carried out at a price of EUR 1.32 per share, which represents a discount of -12% to yesterday's closing price of EUR 1.5 per share and raises the company's number of shares by some 20%. The funding is almost exactly in line with our expectations in size (Assumption: 5 MEUR), timing (Assumption: early 2025) and valuation (Assumption: EUR 1.36 per share) and therefore contains no surprises. Thus, the release only necessitates minor revisions to our forecasts. We will update our forecasts and views on the company in connection with the financial statements release to be published on March 6.
