DocMorris AG / Key word(s): Capital Increase Frauenfeld, 8 May 2025 Press release Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR DocMorris announces final details on the agenda of today's Annual General Meeting and the planned capital increase
DocMorris AG publishes the final details of certain items on the agenda of today's Annual General Meeting, as announced in the invitation dated 10 April 2025. At the same time, it is publishing the details of the capital increase with subscription rights in the amount of CHF around 200 million. DocMorris intends to use the net proceeds from the capital increase to finance the planned medium-term growth in the prescription medicines (Rx) business, including incremental targeted Rx marketing spend until positive free cash flow is reached at Group level in the course of 2027, and for a potential repayment of the CHF 95 million convertible bond in September 2026. With reference to the invitation to the Annual General Meeting dated 10 April 2025, the Board of Directors of DocMorris AG has determined the final details of the proposals for the capital measures required for the capital increase in accordance with agenda items 5.2 to 5.6 of the invitation as follows:
Further details on the final proposals for the capital measures can be found here. If the proposal of the Board of Directors on agenda item 5.2 (ordinary capital increase) is approved, existing shareholders will receive one (1) subscription right per one (1) registered share they hold as at 12 May 2025 after the close of trading in order to subscribe for new shares from the capital increase. The new registered shares will be offered to existing shareholders in a ratio of three (3) new shares for one (1) subscription right held, subject to legal restrictions and the approval of the capital increase proposed by the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting. The subscription rights will be admitted to trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange and may be traded from 13 May 2025 until 19 May 2025. They can be validly exercised from 13 May 2025 until 21 May 2025, 12:00 noon, after which they will expire without compensation. Shares that are not subscribed for by existing shareholders exercising their subscription rights will be placed through a public offering to eligible investors in Switzerland and through private placements in certain countries outside Switzerland and the United States of America ("Share Offering"). The number of new shares taken up by existing shareholders and the maximum number of shares to be placed in the Share Offering are expected to be announced on 21 May 2025 after close of trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The offer price for the new shares is CHF 5.75. The listing and first trading day of the new registered shares from the ordinary capital increase on the SIX Swiss Exchange is expected to take place on 22 May 2025, while the payment and settlement of the rights offering/share offering is expected to take place on 26 May 2025. DocMorris has mandated a banking syndicate to carry out the rights offering, which has fully underwritten the subscription rights issue. Expected timetable for the capital increase and rights issue
Details of the rights issue can be found in the prospectus, which is expected to be published today after the close of trading and after the Annual General Meeting. Continuation of the first quarter's growth in April In April, the Rx business continued to record pleasing growth. TeleClinic also continued to grow strongly. The new coalition agreement also offers opportunities: the pharmacy packaging fixum is to increase, and telemedicine and telepharmacy are to be strengthened. Based on this overall positive development, the management confirms the revenue and earnings forecast for the current year communicated on 10 April and also confirms the medium-term targets.
