Almirall Announces the Launch of a ?200mm Non Pre-Emptive Share Capital Increase


Almirall S.A. (ALM) (the "Company"), a global biopharmaceutical company focused on skin health, today announced the launch of a non pre- emptive share capital increase (the "Capital Increase") for a total aggregate amount (including nominal value and share issue premium) of approximately EUR 200,000,000 by issuing new ordinary shares of the Company belonging to the same class and series as the outstanding shares (the "New Shares") in consideration for cash contributions. The Capital Increase has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Company's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 5 May 2023. J.P. Morgan and BNP PARIBAS are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners.

The Capital Increase will be carried out according to the placement agreement executed by the Company and the Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners (the "Placement Agreement") through a private placement by means of an accelerated book-building offering that will last a maximum of 24 hours and will be exclusively directed to qualified investors (the "ABB Process").

Books will be open from now and are expected to close no later than 08:00 a.m. (C.E.S.T.) on 13 June 2023, when final results of the ABB Process will be published to the market.

The Gallardo family, holding indirectly approximately 59.66% of the share capital of the Company, has undertaken to participate in the Capital Increase via Grupo Plafín, S.A.U. ("Grupo Plafín") (a 100% subsidiary of its holding company Grupo Corporativo Landon, S.L.) on a pro rata basis to its current shareholding in the Company at the price derived from the accelerated book-building exercise and the Company has undertaken to allocate an aggregate number of New Shares to Grupo Plafín representing such shareholding percentage. Furthermore, Grupo Plafín may place an order to subscribe additional New Shares, which will not be subject to the guaranteed allocation referred to above.

Both the issue price and the final number of New Shares will be determined once the ABB Process has been completed and will be communicated separately. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Capital Increase to retain financial flexibility and agility to actively pursue and swiftly execute inorganic growth opportunities (including bolt-on acquisitions and in-licensing opportunities) that are currently under analysis.

The Company, Grupo Plafín and Grupo Corporativo Landon, S.L. will be subject to a lock-up undertaking of 180 days from the closing of the Capital Increase, subject to market standard exceptions.

The offering procedure will be conducted on the terms indicated below:
