PRESS RELEASE
Affluent Medical announces the availability of a prospectus for the admission to trading of 6,190,831 shares issued as
part of a capital increase without preferential subscription rights in favour of a category of beneficiaries
Aix-en-Provence, July 15, 2024 - 7:45 a.m. - Affluent Medical (ISIN: FR0013333077 - Ticker: AFME), a French clinical
phase MedTech company specializing in the international development and industrialization of innovative medical
prostheses, is announcing that the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF"), approved on July 12, 2024 under number
24-315 the prospectus made available to the public for the admission to trading on the regulated market of Euronext in
Paris (the "Prospectus") of 6,190,831 new ordinary shares of the Company issued in connection with a capital increase
without preferential subscription rights in favour of a category of beneficiaries, for a total cumulative amount,
including issue premium, of EUR8,543,346.78 , at a subscription price of EUR1.38 (including EUR0.10 nominal value and EUR1.28
share premium) per new share (the "Capital Increase").
The subscription price represents a 15% discount to the volume-weighted average price of the Company's shares over the
last 20 trading days preceding July 11, 2024.
The Capital Increase has enabled Edwards Lifesciences to become a 9,21% shareholder of the Company, following its
subscription for an amount of EUR5 million[1]. FPCI Truffle Medeor, managed by Truffle Capital, and Ginko Invest,
Company's shareholders, participated in the capital increase by setting off their shareholder loans granted to the
Company in April 2024[2].
The Capital Increase was implemented on July 11, 2024, by decision of the Chief Executive Officer acting by virtue of a
sub-delegation from the Board of Directors of July 9, 2024, in accordance with the delegation granted by the 29th
resolution of the Combined General Meeting of Shareholders of June 24, 2024, on which the FPCI Truffle Medeor, managed
by Truffle Capital and Ginko Invest abstained from voting. The latter, represented on the Board of Directors, did not
take part in the deliberations or vote of the Board on the Capital Increase.
Impact of the Capital Increase on the situation of the shareholders
Following the transaction, the share capital of Affluent Medical is now composed of 39,336,524 shares with a par value
of EUR0.10 each.
Based on the Company's share capital at the date of the Prospectus and on an undiluted basis, a shareholder owning 1%
of the share capital before the transaction would be diluted to 0.84% of the share capital after completion of the
Capital Increase.
Breakdown of share capital and voting rights following the Capital Increase
After completion of the Capital Increase, based on the information available to Affluent Medical, the distribution of
share capital and voting rights is as follows on a non-diluted and fully diluted basis (taking into account the number
of shares outstanding at the date of the Prospectus):
