Alvotech (NASDAQ: ALVO), a global biotech company specializing in
the development and manufacture of biosimilar medicines for
patients worldwide, today announced that holders of the majority of
subordinated convertible bonds, originally issued by Alvotech on
November 16, 2022, and December 20, 2022, respectively, with
maturity on December 20, 2025 (the “Convertible Bonds”) have
elected to convert the principal and accrued interest into ordinary
shares of Alvotech at the fixed conversion price of US$10.00 per
share on the last scheduled conversion date prior to maturity,
which is July 1, 2024 (the “Conversion Date”).
On the Conversion Date, Alvotech will issue new shares to the
holders that have exercised their right to convert their
Convertible Bonds. The total number of new shares that will be
issued and delivered will depend on the prevailing exchange rate of
the Icelandic krona against the U.S. dollar on June 27, 2024. Based
on the current exchange rate, Alvotech estimates that approximately
22.1 million new shares will be issued. Pursuant to terms of the
Convertible Bonds, the newly issued shares shall be delivered no
later than seven business days after the Conversion Date.
The Convertible Bonds were issued in two tranches, denominated
in Icelandic krona (ISK) and U.S. Dollars (USD), respectively. The
ISK denominated Convertible Bonds were listed on the Nasdaq First
North growth market in Iceland under the symbol ALVCVB251220.
All holders of the ISK denominated Convertible Bonds (“Tranche A
Bonds”) exercised their right to conversion. The aggregate value of
these bonds, with accrued interest, is ISK 25,483,970,823 (USD
183,127,126 at the current exchange rate), which will be converted
into ordinary shares at the conversion price of USD 10.00 per
share, at the exchange rate published by the Central Bank of
Iceland on June 27, 2024. Based on current exchange rates, Alvotech
estimates that approximately 18.3 million new shares will be issued
to holders of Tranche A Bonds.
