Swedencare AB (publ) has today, April 1st 2025, gained access to the business of Summit Veterinary Pharmaceuticals Limited (”Summit”), which was acquired on March 24th, 2025. Summit develops, produces, and sells Animal Health Specials exclusively for veterinary professionals in the UK and Hong Kong. With this strategic acquisition, Swedencare has boosted its presence in the rapidly growing Animal Health Specials market. The initial purchase price is GBP 30 million (approximately SEK 395.4 million). The cash consideration will include GBP 27 million (approximately SEK 355.9 million, drawn from available cash and RCF-credit) and an issue-in-kind of 978,119 shares in Swedencare, approximately GBP 3 million (approximately SEK 39.5 million). A condition-based purchase price (earn-out) of a maximum GBP 15 million (SEK 197.7 million) may be paid if certain conditions are met as of April 1st, 2027.

The board of directors for the company has, with the support of the authorization from the annual general meeting on April 25th, 2024, resolved on the issue of 978,119 shares to the seller of Summit. The reason for the issue is to make payment to the seller in accordance with the share purchase agreement. The subscription price in the issue was determined, in accordance with the share purchase agreement, at SEK 40.60 per share, which corresponds to the volume-weighted average price of the company's share on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market during 20 trading days immediately preceding the date before the date of signing the agreement. The board therefore assesses that the subscription price is made on market terms. The new issue entails a dilution of approximately 0.61 percent based on the total number of shares and votes in the company after the issue. Total number of shares after completed transaction amounts to 159,840,958.
