Announcement no. 36

Status of the company's receivables from Portinho S.A. with payment deadline 1 July 2023

In the consolidated financial statement (with the subsidiary Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S) as of 31 March 2023, the Company has a receivable from Portinho S.A., recognized at fair value in accordance with IFRS accounting rules on reverse take-over, with a value of DKK 62.4 million. 

The recognitions in the consolidated financial statements as well as in the Company's financial statements are based on the receivable amounting to EUR 9.55 million plus interest or equivalent to DKK 72.5 million, and with an agreed maturity no later than 1 July 2023.

Portinho S.A has informed the Company that the owners of Portinho S.A have entered into a binding sales agreement regarding all shares in Portinho S.A on 30 September 2022 and that the Company's receivables will be redeemed in connection with the payment of the purchase price.

Further, Portinho S.A has informed that the buyer's bank has confirmed and documented that the buyer has sufficient funds at its disposal to complete the transaction.

Portinho S.A has announced that neither the sellers of Portinho S.A nor their lawyer have any reason to believe that effective payment will not be realised soon, but not in time for the Company's receivables to be redeemed on July 1, 2023, as agreed. 

Based on the above information and a continuous close dialogue between the Company's Board of Directors and the management of Portinho S.A., it is the clear expectation of the Board of Directors that the receivable will be repaid within a short period of time. 

Capital

The Company has provided security to several financial creditors, including Sparekassen Sjælland-Fyn A/S, Nykredit A/S and private lenders, in the receivables from Portinho S.A. The due dates of the debts secured by the Portinho receivables will, notwithstanding the above, follow the concluded resolution plan. 

A capital contingency plan has been prepared which shows the expected capital requirement in various scenarios and which shows that in all scenarios, including that Portinho's receivables are not settled in 2023, the Company and the Group will have a positive capital adequacy in 2023.  It should be noted, as mentioned in the annual report for 2022, that the Company has been provided with an additional credit facility from one of the Company's lenders.
