ONCODESIGN (Paris:ALONC) (ALONC – FR0011766229), a biopharmaceutical group specialized in precision medicine, today announces the launch of a reserved capital increase for the benefit of members of its Management Committee.

Philippe GENNE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Oncodesign, says: “In recent months, the Management Committee has been working in unison to draw up our business plan through to 2025; we have set the Company ambitious targets, and we will give ourselves the means to achieve them. Through its participation in this capital increase, Oncodesign’s Management Committee wants to send out a strong and clear signal regarding its commitment to, involvement in and belief in the Oncodesign group’s development”.

The Board of Directors, at its meeting of September 10, 2020 and pursuant to the delegation of authority granted to it by the Shareholders’ Meeting of June 25, 2020 (12th resolution), has decided to carry out a capital increase for a nominal amount of €300,000 via the issuance of 30,000 new shares at a unit price of €10 per share, issue premium included, to the benefit of members of Oncodesign’s Management Committee. This issue price represents a premium of 1.2% on the closing price on the eve of the Board’s decision and a premium of 0.3% on the average volume-weighted price during the 5 trading sessions preceding the decision.

The new shares will be admitted for trading on the Euronext Paris market on the same line as Oncodesign’s existing shares (FR0011766229 ALONC), and will be immediately fungible with those shares.

The Board has also decided to allocate free shares and stock options within the framework of the Company’s implementation of long-term incentive plans aimed at members of Oncodesign’s Management Committee.

The terms and conditions are as follows:

- 1 free share allocated for every 2 shares subscribed to within the framework of the aforementioned capital increase, with a vesting period from the decision to grant until January 1, 2024 inclusive and a 2-year retention period, without any performance conditions;
