BAGNEUX, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
Genomic Vision (the “Company” – FR0011799907 – GV) (Paris:GV), a biotechnology company that develops products and services for the highly accurate characterization of DNA sequences dedicated to the analysis and control of changes in the genome, today announces the issuance of the second tranche of convertible notes with equity warrants attached (OCABSA) for a total net amount of €1.920 million.
In a press release dated May 20, 2022, the Company announced the signing of a contract with Winance on April 11, 2022 as modified on May 18, 2022 to setting up a financing line by issuing convertible bonds (the “OC”) into ordinary shares to each of which will be attached a share subscription warrant (the “BSA” and together with the shares to which they are attached the “ABSA” and with the OC the “OCABSA”), for a maximum total amount of €28.8 million (€30 million nominal value). The extraordinary shareholders meeting of the Company held on May 23, 2022 approved the implementation of this financing line.
Terms of the operation
By using the delegation granted by the extraordinary shareholders meeting on May 23, 2022, Genomic Vision’s Executive Board decided, on February 13th, 2023, to issue 2,000,000 convertible bonds with warrants (OCABSA) with a nominal value of €2 million for the benefit of Winance (the “Investor”) for a total net amount of €1.920 million, as well as 525,000 bonds convertible into shares delivered in payment of the second quarter of the Investor’s commitment fee. The OCABSA were paid up in several installments, the last part of which was paid on February 13th, 2023.
The gross proceeds of the transaction will therefore be €2 million and the net proceeds €1.920 million.
The main terms of this financing programme structured in 15 tranches of OCABSA totaling €28.8 million are described in the prospectus approved by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) on May 20, 2022 under no. 22-170, consisting of the universal registration document filed on April 14, 2022 under number D.22-0293, the amendment to the universal registration document filed on May 20, 2022 under number D.22-0293-A01, a transaction note and a summary, available at the Company’s registered office (80/84 Rue des Meuniers, 92220 Bagneux), on the Company’s website (www.genomicvision.com) and on that of the AMF (www.amf-france.org).
The company also confirms its intention to pursue its investments program in order to achieve its strategic plan and will therefore proceed shortly with the drawing of a new tranche of financing by issuing 2,000,000 convertible notes with warrants (OCABSA) which will be subscribed by the Investor subject to the fulfillment of the conditions provided for in the financing program.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
Genomic Vision has set up a financing line in the form of convertible notes with warrants (OCABSA) with Winance, which does not intend to remain a shareholder of the company, after receiving the shares resulting from the conversion or exercise of the securities.
The shares resulting from the conversion or exercise of the aforementioned securities will, in general, be sold on the market very quickly, which is likely to create strong downward pressure on the share price as well as a strong dilution.
Shareholders could therefore suffer a loss of their invested capital due to a significant decrease in the value of the company’s shares. The company has carried out several dilutive financing operations, and investors are advised to be very careful before making a decision to invest in the company’s securities.
