NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITHIN OR TO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE FURTHER REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES.

Scandinavian Real Heart AB ("Realheart" or the "Company") announces that the Company's board of directors, based on the authorization from the annual general meeting on June 14, 2023, has resolved to issue 9 150 000 units to the European Innovation Council ("EIC") Accelerator, in accordance with the investment agreement announced on May 15, 2023. The directed issue consists of 9 150 000 units of the same type and on the same terms as the units in the rights issue announced on the same day and Realheart thus receives an additional SEK 14 640 000 before transaction costs. After the directed issue, the total number of shares will increase from 78 694 446 shares (after registration of the rights issue and the directed issue to underwriters) with 18 300 000 shares to a total of 96 994 446 shares. The EIC will then hold 18,9 of total shares and votes in the company.

The Company had received subscription commitments from EIC based on the following conditions:

– The investment is a co-investment with new and existing shareholders.

– That the investment corresponds to one third of the total capital raising, i.e. the rights issue and the directed issue combined, but that EIC's total ownership does not exceed 20 percent of the company after the investment has been completed.

Through the directed issue to EIC the Company's share capital increases by SEK 1 830 000.0 from SEK 7 869 444.60 after the rights issue and the directed issue to underwriters to SEK 9 699 444.60. Through the directed issue to EIC 9 150 000 warrants of series TO2 are also issued, which entitle the holder to subscribe for 4 575 000 shares in the Company. Upon full exercise of the Warrants, the share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 457 500.0 and the number of shares will increase by a maximum of 4 575 000 shares.

Total increase in number of shares and share capital

In total the number of shares in Realheart after the rights issue, the directed issue to the underwriters and the directed issue to EIC (jointly the "Issues") increases by 62 015 198 shares from 34 979 248 shares to 96 994 446 shares, and the share capital increases by SEK 6 201 519.80 from SEK 3 497 924.8 to SEK 9 699 444.60. This gives a dilution effect of approximately 63.9 percent of the votes and capital in the Company.

Through the Issues, a total of 31 007 599 warrants of series TO2 are issued, which entitle the holders to subscribe for a maximum of 15 503 799 shares in the Company. Upon full exercise of the warrants, the share capital will increase by an additional maximum of SEK 1 550 379.90. This corresponds to a dilution effect from the Warrants of an additional maximum of approximately 13.8 percent of the votes and capital in the Company.

Realheart Performs a Directed Issue of Units to Underwriters in Connection With the Completed Rights Issue

Press Release July 26, 2023

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY,  WITHIN OR TO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, BELARUS, HONG KONG, JAPAN, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, RUSSIA, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE FURTHER REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES.

Scandinavian Real Heart AB ("Realheart" or the "Company") announces that the Company's board, with the support of the authorization from the annual general meeting on June 14, 2023, has resolved to issue 642 950 units as underwriting compensation directed to a number of the underwriters who provided underwriting commitments in the rights issue that the Company carried out during the period June 20 to July 7, 2023, in accordance with the underwriting agreements entered into.

The underwriters who provided underwriting commitments in the rights issue had the option of having the compensation paid out in cash or in the form of issued units in the Company, which was previously communicated in connection with the rights issue. In total, eight underwriters have chosen to have the underwriting compensation paid out in units. The Company's board has therefore resolved, with the support of the authorization from the annual general meeting on June 14, 2023, to issue 642 950 units as compensation to these underwriters, which will increase the company's number of shares by 1 285 900 shares and the company’s share capital by approximately 128 590.00 SEK. The purpose of the directed issue and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is thus to fulfill the Company’s commitments to the underwriters in accordance with the underwriting agreements.

Units are issued at a price of 1.6 SEK per unit, corresponding to 0.80 SEK per share, which corresponds to the pricing of shares and units in the rights issue.  The board has resolved that payment for units shall be made by offsetting the respective underwriter's claim on the Company. The underwriters’ total claim amounts to 1 028 726,72 SEK. When these 642 950 units together with the 21 214 649 units that were issued in the rights issue have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the number of shares in the Company will amount to 78 694 446 shares, and the Company's share capital to approximately 7 869 444,60 SEK. The dilution that accrues as a result of the directed issue to the underwriters amounts to approximately 1.6 percent after the rights issue has been registered.

Through the directed issue to the underwriters, 642 950 warrants of series TO2 are issued, which entitle the holder to subscribe for a maximum of 321 475 shares in the Company. Upon full exercise of the warrants, the share capital will increase by an additional maximum of SEK 32 147.50.

The Company has had no specific costs related to the directed issue as this takes place as part of the work with the rights issue.

Realheart Awarded Close to SEK 1 Million From Tillväxtverket and Region Västmanland

Press Release July 5, 2023

Following Almi's evaluation, Scandinavian Realheart AB has been granted business development support of a total of SEK 0.850 million. Realheart submitted a total of four applications, all of which have now been granted.

"That Realheart is able to supplement its funding with additional public funds is a sign of the strong interest of society in making our artificial heart a reality and bringing it to market. It is a product that could give many people around the world a new lease on life," said Realheart CEO Ina Laura Perkins.

The current support is given to companies to contribute to digitalization, green transition, internationalization, and verification. The support for digitalization refers to Realheart, in collaboration with Linköping University and the University of Bath, to use new digital methods to understand the blood flow in artificial hearts in more detail to further reduce the risk of blood-related side effects, and to develop more digital twins of heart failure patients together with German Virtonomy. The project in green transition is about evaluating solutions for the heart's batteries and chargers from an environmental perspective while providing optimal energy supply, while the third project aims to prepare a launch of the heart on an international market. In verification, Realheart intends to confirm the production technology for a sub-component that was previously performed by a supplier to instead ensure in-house production.

Almi alone decides on the verification support, while Almi Företagspartner handles the other three supports on behalf of the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth and Region Västmanland, which makes the final decision on support based on Almi's recommendation.

The company has previously been awarded a development grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator of EUR 2.5 million. Earlier in 2023, EIC announced that it intends to invest up to EUR 3.5 million (approx. SEK 39 million) in connection with the new share issue that the company is currently carrying out. EIC is one of Europe's leading financiers of innovative companies that are expected to become global leaders in their markets.

The Subscription Period in Realheart’s Rights Issue Ends on Friday

German Cardiac Surgeon Estimates That the Market for a Company That can Provide a Good Enough Artificial Heart is Huge

Press Release July 3, 2023

Leading German cardiac surgeon Professor Jan Schmitto estimates that the number of end stage heart failure patients in Germany with a population of 82 million, is around 40-60,000 per year. Although not all these patients may meet the criteria for a total artificial heart (TAH), the market for a company that can provide a good one is huge.

Jan Schmitto is Professor of Cardiac Surgery in the Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Transplant and Vascular Surgery at Hannover Medical School, Germany. He is head of the Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) program and of the innovation department "Active Device Technologies", as well as surgical director of the multidisciplinary heart failure unit. Professor Schmitto has contributed to Hannover being one of the leading and most innovative clinics for advanced heart failure in the world and performs 60-100 LVAD (Left Ventricle Assist Device) implantations annually. He has published more than 280 peer-reviewed scientific articles and has been involved in the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) for many years, including the organization's committee and the advanced MCS Academy.

“In Germany alone with 82 million inhabitants, there are estimations existing that 40-60,000 patients with severe heart failure could potentially benefit from a new heart every year. However, organ donor shortage only allows for around 300 heart transplants per year in Germany. With a good TAH on the market, many of these patients' lives could potentially be saved, while providing them with a good quality of life. Better treatment options also could potentially contribute significantly to reducing healthcare costs for society," said Prof. Jan Schmitto.

In Germany, thousands of patients are waiting in line, but less than 300 heart transplants are performed annually. In high-income countries, cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death globally and with the treatment methods used today, patients suffer from long-term health problems and hospitalization. This means personal suffering and a high burden and cost to the healthcare system.

“In theory, a patient can live a normal life for many years with a TAH, but it is too early to say exactly how long as there is limited data available. "Realheart's TAH is very promising because, among other things, it has a natural pulsating blood flow similar to that of the human heart," said Prof. Schmitto.

“It is very valuable that heart surgeon Jan Schmitto speaks so positively about TAH therapy in general and the opportunities Realheart does have on the market. We know that advanced heart failure contributes to other complications such as kidney and lung problems. A TAH can help restore blood circulation and other body functions in previously severely ill patients so that they can survive and live with improved quality of life," said Ina Laura Perkins, CEO of Realheart.

Realheart Enters Into Collaboration With Sahlgrenska for Clinical Studies

Press Release July 3, 2023

Scandinavian Real Heart AB initiates a collaboration with Chief Physician and Professor Göran Dellgren at the Transplantation Center and Thorax Clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The collaboration is part of the preparations for the clinical studies on patients with the company's artificial heart, which is planned to start when everything is ready. The intention is that Sahlgrenska University Hospital will eventually participate in the clinical study.

Several experimental and pre-clinical studies will be carried out within the framework of the collaboration, including a closer examination of surgical methods and patient selection.

Professor Göran Dellgren has a long history of working with patients with severe heart failure and has performed several heart transplants and implantations of mechanical pumps. Since 2016, in a Swedish research group, he has been running one of the largest studies in Sweden on patients with severe heart failure where drug treatment is compared with mechanical circulatory support for the heart, the study is called the SweVAD study.

 "In the SweVAD study, we have recruited 64 patients, so hopefully we will be done within a year with that study," says Göran Dellgren.

Realheart's artificial heart is the first to be developed to mimic the human heart with four chambers and a pulsating blood flow. The company's vision is to be able to replace heart transplants with total artificial hearts in the future, or at least be a full-fledged alternative with equally good results, fewer side effects and greater accessibility for patients. Today, about 60 heart transplants are performed annually in Sweden, but the company believes that the need is far greater than that.

"We see great potential and synergy in our collaboration with Professor Dellgren at Sahlgrenska Hospital. It is incredibly important for us to have a dedicated and clinically active heart surgeon with us and now we will work together to prepare to be able to conduct a clinical trial in Sweden", says Ina Laura Perkins, CEO of Realheart.

Realheart Gets Go-Ahead for International Trademark Protection

Press Release, 28 June 2023

Scandinavian Realheart AB’s trademark registration of Realheart has been approved in important international markets, in addition to the protection the trademark already enjoys in Sweden. The registration allows the company to develop the brand so that it exclusively supports the company's total artificial heart.

“We are developing something completely different from what is available on the market today, which is why trademark protection is particularly important to us. It provides us good opportunity to both build and defend the value of our products,” says Realheart’s CEO Ina Laura Perkins.

The Realheart trademark was registered in Sweden in 2019, and the following year an application was submitted for international trademark registration. This application has now been approved in several key markets, including Australia, Canada, EU, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, UK and USA.

Realheart’s artificial heart is the first to be developed to mimic the four-chambered human heart and provide pulsating blood flow. It is also protected by several different patents in several important markets.

“Our goals are set high. We want patients to be able to return to a normal life again, we want to reach out to a large market and of course we also want to provide returns to those who invest in us. Therefore, we must ensure that we protect what we create,” says Ina Laura Perkins.

Realheart’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ulf Kjellman in an Interview with Trading Direkt Healthcare, on the Topic of Artificial Hearts

Press Release, 21 June, 2023

Recently, Direkt Studios Trading Direkt Healthcare hosted Realheart's medical director Dr. Ulf Kjellman. This week's episode had the theme of artificial hearts and with more than 30 years of experience in heart surgery and artificial hearts, Dr. Kjellman gave a clear picture of why artificial hearts need to become available as an alternative to heart transplants.

The goal with Realheart's artificial heart is to provide a good enough permanent solution for the most severely affected patients. Those who for various reasons cannot have a heart transplant. An artificial heart does not require patients to take the heavy medications that a transplant requires. Medications that are known to cause serious side effects such as cancer and infections.

" Relheart, like BiVACOR, is now in an advanced stage of development and the first patient studies are likely to be conducted in the near future. One of the biggest challenges in growing this market is to inform all referring physicians that mechanical hearts are an option", says Dr. Ulf Kjellman.

During the interview, Dr. Kjellman took us back to 1969 – the year when the first artificial heart was implanted in a patient in the US – an important milestone where it was made clear that a very sick person can survive until transplantation thanks to the bridging of an artificial heart. He further explained what an artificial heart is and how it works. In particular, he highlighted the difference between a temporary and a permanent solution and stressed the importance of the patient's quality of life.

Approval of the resolution by the Board of Directors to issue new units consisting of shares and warrants with preferential rights for the shareholders

The Annual General Meeting resolved to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution of 15 May 2023, on issuance of units, in the form of new shares and warrants giving right to subscribe for new shares, with preferential rights for the shareholders. The issue comprises no more than 69,958,496 new shares and no more than 41,954,941 warrants of series TO2, which may be subscribed for and allotted together in the form of so called units where each unit consists of two (2) shares and one (1) warrant of series TO2. After the issue, the shares and the warrants will be separated. Two (2) warrants entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the Company.

The shareholders of the Company shall have preferential rights to subscribe for units. For each share held on the record date, the shareholder receives one unit right, whereby one unit right entitles to subscribe for one unit. The record date for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to subscribe for units on a preferential basis shall be 16 June 2023.

In case not all units have been subscribed for, the Board of Directors shall decide that allotment of units subscribed for without unit rights shall take place up to the maximum amount of the issue, whereby the Board of Directors primarily will allot units to those who also subscribed for units based on unit rights, and in the event of over subscription, pro rata to their subscription based on unit rights. Secondly, the Board of Directors will allot units to those who subscribed for units without unit rights, and if full allotment cannot be made, pro rata to their subscription. To the extent not possible, allotment shall be made through drawing of lots, and finally, subject to such allocation being required in order for the issue to be fully subscribed, to the guarantors of the issue.

Warrants may also, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be subscribed for by underwriters in the rights issue that have chosen to receive compensation in the form of newly issued units.

The subscription price is SEK 1.60 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.80 per share. The warrants are issued free of charge. In the case of full subscription, this provides issuing proceeds of approximately MSEK 56.

Subscription for units with or without unit rights shall be made during the period from 20 June 2023 until, and including 7 July 2023. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period. Trading with unit rights is expected to take place during the period from 20 June 2023 until, and including 4 July 2023. Trading in BTU (Paid Subscribed Units) is expected to take place from 20 June 2023 until, around week 30 2023.

Cardiac Surgeon Dilek Gürsoy Speaks About Realheart’s Artificial Heart at Impact LECH

Press Release, 15 June 2023

Cardiac surgeon Dilek Gürsoy is one of several top-notch speakers at Impact LECH, taking place June 15-18 in Austria. Dr. Gürsoy speaks about artificial hearts in general and about the Realheart artificial heart specifically. She will also participate in a panel discussion on the theme "Man and machine in medicine".

Dr. Gürsoy was the first female surgeon in Europe to implant an artificial heart and is one of several prominent cardiac surgeons involved in Realheart's animal studies. Dr. Gürsoy has nearly 20 years of experience in cardiac surgery and also has expertise in the field of artificial hearts.

Realheart is at the forefront of developing a TAH solution that is expected to have significant advantages over the artificial hearts available today. Some of these expected advantages are that Realheart® TAH mimics the natural pulsating blood flow of the human heart with the aim of reducing the risks of blood-related side effects, and that the blood flow is automatically adapted to the body's needs. In addition, the product consists of two separate pumps, allowing for better placement in the chest. The energy-efficient pump principle provides a long battery life and allows for wireless charging via the skin in the future. An adequate TAH can save lives and provide a good quality of life while reducing healthcare costs.

"Artificial heart treatment and artificial heart research is important and therefore I am happy to share my long experience in this field at Impact Lech on 17 June 2023. Realheart's pump is very good, I really believe in it," says Dr. Dilek Gürsoy.

Impact LECH is a concept designed to highlight facts and shape opinion on current topics. The theme this time is human-machine interaction and how it can be designed in a successful and meaningful way.

"Realheart is a new generation of artificial hearts. We are developing our TAH to be the absolute best for the patients and to provide them with a continued good quality of life, but also to enable a fast surgery, which we have also shown in our animal studies. The fact that an experienced heart surgeon is talking about our product and highlighting its potential to become an alternative to heart transplantation for patients with life-threatening heart failure is extremely important," says Realheart's CEO Ina Laura Perkins.

Realheart Part of Vinnova Project for Cordless TAH Technology

Press Release, 8 June 2023

Invivopower has been granted EUR 80,000 from Vinnova to further develop its patented technology for transcutaneous energy transfer in collaboration with Scandinavian Real Heart. The project runs from June 2023 to May 2024.

''This does not affect our short-term timeline but gives us a great head start in a future development of the next generation of Realheart TAH. We remain on track with the goal of initiating clinical trials in 2024'', said Ina Laura Perkins, CEO of Realheart.

All of today's artificial hearts and other heart pumps are powered by a cable that connects the implanted pump to an energy source outside the body (driveline). Driveline infections are the most common type of heart pump-associated infections because the driveline exit point creates a conduit for bacteria. Invivopower's solution is instead based on an energy link that transfers energy without breaking the protective skin barrier.

Vinnova, Sweden's innovation agency, has awarded €80,000 in grant funding to Invivopower to develop a platform for the implementation of transcutaneous energy transfer technology (TET), that can be used by companies that develop heart pumps. Realheart will contribute with hardware and software development as well as market validation.

''Realheart is one of the most advanced companies in the world in developing an artificial heart. This project gives us a unique opportunity to put our technology in the hands of our customer early on, thereby gaining invaluable feedback that allows us to focus on the right things in developing a competitive product,'' Bengt Bern, CEO and founder of Invivopower, said.

''We are very grateful that Vinnova makes collaborations like this possible. Wireless transfer of energy/charging is certainly something that we want to implement in Realheart TAH in the future, and through this project we get access to a prototype that is also based on our own technology'', said Realheart's CEO Ina Laura Perkins.

Heart failure is one of the most common causes of death in the world, and the artificial hearts available have too many shortcomings to make a serious impact as a treatment option. Realheart TAH is being developed to overcome these obstacles while increasing the quality of life for patients. Realheart therefore already has a longer battery life and a thinner power cable.
