Press release from Companies
Published: 2025-04-04 17:20:00
As communicated through a press release on March 11, 2025, the board of directors of PEPTONIC Medical AB (publ) (the "Company") decided to submit an application for corporate restructuring to Uppsala District Court and on March 13, 2025, the district court decided on corporate restructuring regarding the Company. At the creditors' meeting on March 26, 2025, the district court decided that the corporate restructuring may continue.
Preliminary restructuring measures
The Company, together with the administrator, has prepared the following preliminary restructuring measures:
The Company's assessment is that the above measures mean that the Company's operations will be able to be conducted with a positive result from the end of the second quarter of 2025. Furthermore, the assessment is made that a debt settlement in combination with new share issues and operational reconstruction measures will ensure that the Company's operations can be continued.
Forward-looking projections
The Company has also, based on the above measures, prepared a liquidity forecast for 2025. The forecast, which has been reviewed by the administrator, shows that the Company, through the corporate restructuring, together with the payment ban for pre-petition debts and with the support of the state wage guarantee, will have the necessary liquidity to carry out the restructuring. The liquidity forecast also shows that positive cash flow will be achieved from May 2025 onwards. Note that the forecast also includes the Company's subsidaries in the US. In this regard, it should be noted that the Company has received bridge financing amounting to approximately SEK 1 million and that it should be added that the Company has ongoing sales revenue. The Company's growth rate and forward-looking forecasts further show that the Company in 2025 is expected to achieve a turnover of SEK 45 million and thus generate a positive result and that the Company is expected to achieve profitability from May 2025. Growth in the Company's turnover in 2025 is expected to amount to approximately SEK 33.7 million. The corresponding growth for earnings is expected to amount to approximately SEK 63.8 million for EBIT and SEK 39.8 million for EBITDA.
Termination of the corporate restructuring
At the creditors' meeting on March 26, 2025, the district court decided that the corporate restructuring may continue until June 13, 2025. If no request for an extension has been received by June 13, 2025, the district court will then decide that the corporate restructuring will end. A corporate restructuring may not last longer than a total of twelve months, unless the court has previously decided on plan negotiations. As communicated earlier, the restructuring is expected to be completed within three to six months from the application for corporate restructuring.
