NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR SOUTH AFRICA, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT AN OFFER OF SECURITIES FOR SALE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE SECURITIES REFERRED TO HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES ABSENT REGISTRATION EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; ANY PUBLIC OFFERING OF SUCH SECURITIES TO BE MADE IN THE UNITED STATES WILL BE MADE BY MEANS OF A PROSPECTUS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER, WHICH WOULD CONTAIN DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

A directed share offering to certain institutional and professional investors through an accelerated bookbuilding process will begin immediately.
The net proceeds from the issue are expected to be used to fund continued development of Zealand's proprietary pipeline of investigational peptide-based therapeutics, support pre-commercial activities, and general corporate purposes.

Copenhagen, Denmark, 30 March 2023 - Zealand Pharma A/S ("Zealand") (Nasdaq: ZEAL), (CVR-no. 20 04 50 78), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based medicines, announces the launch of an offering of new shares at market price (the "Offering"). The Offering will be completed through an accelerated bookbuilding process and will consist of approx. 6.5 million new shares (the "New Shares") in a private placement directed at institutional and professional investors in Denmark and certain other jurisdictions.

Background for the Offering

The net proceeds from the Offering are (in the following prioritized order) intended to:

Support the remaining late stage rare disease assets, and pursue a strong strategic partner for future commercialization
Advance the clinical-stage candidates, including the obesity/metabolic disease portfolio that includes the clinical-stage GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist (dapiglutide) and amylin analog (ZP8396); and non-clinical stage GIP analog (ZP6590)
Progress additional peptide candidates from non-clinical development into early clinical development
Continue its early discovery and research to develop additional peptide candidates
Strengthen the Company's capital base and cash preparedness (general corporate purposes)

Zealand expects the new funds to provide cash runway to mid-2026 and expects to advance the clinical pipeline and as such reach several potential key milestones within this time frame. The Company is prioritizing resources on R&D and expects to engage in strategic partnerships for commercialization and co-development.

Terms of the Offering

The Offering has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and will be made pursuant to applicable exemptions from the obligation to publish a Danish prospectus in Denmark as well as exemptions from the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of other applicable jurisdictions. The Offering will be made at market price and without pre-emption rights for Zealand's existing shareholders. The Offering is not underwritten.

A prospectus will be published by Zealand, expectedly on 3 April 2023, for the admission to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S of the New Shares, but said prospectus was not and will not be used for the Offering.

The subscription price and the final number of New Shares in the Offering will be determined through an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuilding") as part of the Offering. The Bookbuilding for the Offering will open with immediate effect and can close at any time. The offer price and allocation will be determined after the close of the Bookbuilding process at Zealand's discretion. The result of the Offering, the offer price and the total number of New Shares are expected to be announced as soon as practicable thereafter in a company announcement. If the Offering is oversubscribed, an individual allocation of the New Shares will be made.

The New Shares will, if issued, be issued in the systems of VP Securities A/S ("Euronext Securities") and delivered to the investors in the temporary ISIN code DK0062271045. No application for admission to trading and official listing has been, or will be, filed for the New Shares issued under the temporary ISIN code, and the temporary ISIN code will only be registered with Euronext Securities for subscription for the New Shares. The temporary ISIN code in Euronext Securities will be merged with the permanent ISIN code for the existing shares, DK0060257814, as soon as possible following registration of the share capital increase with the Danish Business Authority. New Shares are, if issued, expected to be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S, in the ISIN code for the existing shares, DK0060257814, following issuance, expectedly on 5 April 2023.

In connection with the Offering, Zealand has agreed to undertake a lock-up commitment for 180 calendar days following the date hereof, subject to certain customary exceptions and exemption in relation to issue of warrants to financing providers. In addition, the members of Zealand's executive management and board of directors have agreed to undertake a lock-up commitment for 90 calendar days following the date hereof, subject to certain customary exemptions and a carveout for the sale of a limited number of shares to cover the subscription price for shares acquired by way of exercise of warrants in March 2023 and tax related thereto.

Danske Bank A/S, Goldman Sachs International, Jefferies GmbH and Nordea Danmark, Filial af Nordea Bank Abp, Finland are acting as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners in the Offering, and Van Lanschot Kempen N.V is acting as lead manager in the Offering (the joint global coordinators and the lead manager are jointly referred to as the "Managers").

Plesner and Cooley LLP are acting as Danish and U.S. legal advisors respectively to Zealand for the Offering. Kromann Reumert is acting as legal advisor to the Managers.

Share capital increase

The board of directors of Zealand is, if the Offering is completed, expected to exercise its authorization in article 7.1 of Zealand's articles of association granted by Zealand's general meeting at the annual general meeting 29 March 2023, to issue the New Shares and increase Zealand's share capital accordingly.

Kan se at mit nyligt skrevne indlæg ikke er her.
Måske det bedste. Jeg er skuffet så det svier, over at Alan S. trækker sig, og at endnu en kapitalinsprøjtning finder sted. Jeg havde regnet med en SBS wonderstory, aber nicht.
Griner lidt af udtrykket ZPs Pipeline, som er SBS som aldrig virkelidhedgøres; resten er da nada.
Skuffet, JA.
Håber det bedste for jer aktionære og pas på derude.

31/3 Zeal faldt -10,7%, er kursfesten forbi eller er det et godt tilbud ??



2/4 2023 07:48 Helge Larsen/PI-redaktør 2111820



Hej W435wr!Sp , Læs eventuelt med i Zealand Pharma Chatten.



2/4 2023 07:47 Helge Larsen/PI-redaktør 2111819



Hej mccarthy, Hvad mener du med med at "dit nyligt skrevne indlæg ikke er her"? Du har ikke postet et sådant kan vi se i vores log. (Vi har selvfølgelig heller ikke slettet indlægget, hvis du rent faktisk havde postet det).

Hvad mener du med, at "Alan S" trækker sig. Er det Adam Steensberg du mener?



2/4 2023 08:26 mccarthy 2111821



Jeg skrev et indlæg som forsvandt. Om jeg har fumlet med tasterne eller? Og selfølgelig er det Adam S, beklager - det må være varmen hernede der driller. Og hvor er jeg ærgerlig over ZPs udmelding. Endelig troede jeg, endelig er vi næsten i mål. Nu føler jeg mig som ludobrikken der er slået hjem.
Ha' en god søndag.



2/4 2023 08:37 Helge Larsen/PI-redaktør 2111822



Hej mccarthy, den slags sker af og til også for mig. Især hvis det er mobilen, jeg fumler med.

Umiddelbart ser jeg ingen ændring i casen udover, at selskabet har fået bedre økonomisk polstring til de kommende år. Det betragter jeg som rettidig omhu.

Hvad mener du, at Adam Steensberg har trukket sig?

Også god søndag til dig. :−)
