The study has recruited 52 couples to date, with JUNO binding analysis completed in 37 cases. Interim results indicate that higher JUNO binding, which reflects sperm's ability to bind to the egg, is positively correlated with successful fertilization and pregnancy. Low or absent JUNO binding is associated with failed fertilization, highlighting the JUNO-Checked technology's potential as a diagnostic tool in assisted reproductive treatments. These findings suggest that JUNO-Checked can help identify sperm-related factors in unexplained infertility, especially in cases where standard semen parameters are normal, but fertilization fails. Tore Duvold, CEO of Spermosens, and Dr. Ingela Liljeqvist Soltic, study investigator, both emphasize the technology's potential in improving fertility diagnostics and treatment outcomes. The study aims to complete by 2025, providing solid clinical evidence for JUNO-Checked's diagnostic value. Supported by a SEK 10.8 million investment, Spermosens is focused on clinical validation, technical enhancements, and commercialization. The company aims for cash flow positivity by the second half of 2026 and is well-positioned to create value for patients, partners, and shareholders. Spermosens, based in Sweden, specializes in innovative fertility diagnostics and collaborates with research institutions and partners to advance fertility treatments.

The subscription price for TO3 warrants was set at SEK 0.13, but no subscriptions were received as the price exceeded the market value. Consequently, there will be no increase in share capital or dilution for existing shareholders. Spermosens recently secured SEK 10.8 million from a directed share issue by a consortium of strategic investors, ensuring funding until the second half of 2026, when the company expects to achieve cash flow positivity through revenue from license agreements in the global Assisted Reproductive Technology market. Upcoming TO5 and TO6 warrants will be exercisable in June 2025 and November 2026, respectively. Spermosens AB, based in Sweden, is a biotechnology company focused on improving fertility treatments through innovative diagnostic solutions, with its shares traded on the Spotlight Stock Market.

The Board of Directors of Spermosens has decided to conduct a directed share issue, authorized by an extraordinary general meeting, raising SEK 10.8 million by issuing approximately 1.35 billion new shares at SEK 0.0080 per share. This funding is expected to support the company until the second half of 2026, when it aims to achieve cash flow positivity through license agreements in the global Assisted Reproductive Technology market. The investment consortium is led by Mount Nebo Capital and includes UNITY Innovation Alliance and seven Nordic and German institutional investors and family offices. UIA will provide strategic and operational advice, aiding in product development and market strategy. The funds will be used for clinical studies, technology optimization, validation, and business development. The decision to proceed with a directed share issue, rather than a rights issue, was made after considering various financing options.

Advisors for the transaction include Scalania AG, Bergs Securities AB, and Fram Advokatbyrå.

The TO3 warrants were issued as part of a rights issue announced on February 20, 2024, with a subscription period ending on April 17, 2024. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one new Spermosens share at 0.13 SEK. The exercise period is from February 17, 2025, to March 3, 2025. The subscription price was set before a new share issue in November 2024. Currently, the warrants are out of the money, as the subscription price is higher than the market price. If all TO3 warrants are exercised, the company's share capital would rise by 277,043.936 SEK, leading to a dilution of about 32.8% for existing shareholders. The warrants include standard adjustment terms for new share issues or similar events. For more details, contact CEO Tore Duvold at info@spermosens.com.
