• capitalize on strategic partnerships to allow Implanet to pass a new milestone and serenely envisage a revenue allowing to reach financial balance in the medium term.

Main characteristics of the operation

The capital increase was the subject of a global request for 9,879,254 shares with warrants at a unit price of € 0.28, at the rate of 1 share with warrants for 2 existing shares owned, i.e. a total amount requested of € 2,766,191.12, representing 92.76 % of the amount of the initial offer (€ 2,982,221.76). In this context, the Board of Directors has decided not to exercise the extension clause.

The subscriptions were distributed as follows:

- 904,703 shares with warrants on an irreducible basis

- 8,909,127 shares with warrants on a reducible basis

- 65,424 shares with warrants on a free basis

In accordance with its subscription commitment, Sanyou Medical, which held 100,000 Implanet shares, subscribed for 50,000 shares with warrants on an irreducible basis and 8,878,572 shares with warrants on a reducible basis for a total amount of €2,500,000.16 representing a total of 8,928,572 shares with warrants.

The subscription of Sanyou Medical has been fully subscribed.

As a result of the operation, Sanyou Medical now holds 28.96% of the share capital and voting rights of Implanet.

Sanyou Medical has requested a seat on the Board of Directors of the Company as from the completion of its subscription. A general meeting may be convened for this purpose.

After the settlement-delivery, which will take place on October 24, 2022, the share capital of Implanet will consist of 31,180,838 shares with a nominal value of €0.01.

The new shares will be the object of an application for admission to trading on Euronext Growth in Paris on the same day, on the same quotation line as the existing shares (ISIN code FR0013470168 – ticker ALIMP).

The shareholding of a shareholder who held 1% of the company's capital prior to the capital increase and who did not subscribe to it is henceforth increased to 0.68%.

In accordance with the provisions of articles L.411-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code and, 211-2 and 212-5 of the general regulations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), the present issue has not given rise to a Prospectus approved by the AMF, the latter representing a total offer of between €100,000 and less than €8,000,000, it being specified that no similar offer has been made by the Company during the past twelve months.

The offer was made on the basis of the 11^th and 15^th resolutions adopted by the Combined General Meeting of Shareholders of June 9, 2022 and the Board of Directors of Implanet of September 27, 2022 having decided on the principle of the capital increase with preferential subscription rights and its implementation.

A notice to shareholders relating to the operation was published on September 30, 2022 in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales et Obligatoires (BALO).

Main characteristics of warrants attached to the new shares

The warrants will be detached from the new shares as soon as the shares with warrants are issued and will be the subject of an application for admission to trading on Euronext Growth in Paris. Their listing is scheduled for October 24, 2022 until March 31, 2023, under ISIN code FR001400COS8.

Eight (8) warrants give the right to subscribe for seven (7) new shares of the company, at an exercise price of €0.32 per share, i.e. a premium of 82.9% compared to the reference price of €0.175, representative of the closing price on September 27, 2022.

The holders of the warrants will be able to exercise them and thus obtain Implanet shares from October 24, 2022 until March 31, 2023 inclusive. Any warrants that have not been exercised by midnight on March 31, 2023 at the latest will automatically lapse and become worthless.

The exercise of all the issued warrants will thus give rise to the creation of 8,644,342 new shares, representing 27.72% of the Company's share capital after the issue, i.e. a maximum nominal amount of capital increase of € 86,443.42, together with an issue premium of € 2,679,746.02, i.e. a total amount of € 2,766,189.44.

In order to exercise their warrants, holders must make a request to the intermediary with whom their shares are registered.

Sanyou Medical has informed the Company of its irrevocable intention to exercise a maximum amount of € 2,499,999.04 of the 8,928,572 warrants it holds. In this case, and excluding the exercise of any other warrants or other dilutive instruments, Sanyou Medical would hold 43.19% of the Company.

Resumption of the option to exercise the right to receive shares of the Company

Holders of stock options, business creator share subscription warrants and stock subscription warrants, and holders of bonds redeemable in new shares allocated or issued by the Company, are informed that their right to the allocation of new shares of the Company will resume as from the day following the settlement-delivery of these new shares, i.e. October 25, 2022.
