Revenue and Result

Scandinavian Real Heart AB is working with research and development and currently has no sales of any products. The income reported for the period consists mainly of foreign currency exchange gains. Research and development costs of Realheart® TAH were capitalized during Q3 with 4.2 MSEK. 1.9 MSEK for purchased services and other external costs and 2.3 MSEK for personnel. During the period, write-downs of capitalized costs for research and development were made by 0 MSEK.

Other external costs of 8.9 MSEK includes cost for guarantors of 3.4 MSEK and issuing costs of 2.3 MSEK.

Financial Position

During the period, the company has received cash of 42.2 MSEK after issuing costs from a preferred and directed share issue, 7.2 MSEK from R&D Tax credit in Australia and 0.5 MSEK from received Grants. With a cash balance of 44 MSEK at the end of the period the company has funding that will last into the third quarter of 2024.

In order to solve the Company's longer-term financing needs, Realheart works continuously to evaluate alternatives for further capitalization of the Company.

Significant Events During the Second Quarter of the Year

The period begins with Realheart initiating a collaboration with Chief Physician and Professor Göran Dellgren at the Transplantation Centre and Thorax Clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg. The collaboration is part of the preparations for the clinical studies with the company's artificial heart.

During the first week of July, it was announced that Realheart, after Almi's evaluation, has received business development support totalling SEK 0.850 million. Realheart submitted four applications, all of which have now been approved.

Halfway through July, Realheart publishes the outcome of the company's rights issue. A total of 21,214,649 units were subscribed, corresponding to 60.6 per cent of the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue provides the Company with approximately SEK 33.9 million before issue costs.

The last days of July, Realheart communicates that it carries out a directed new issue of units to guarantors in connection with the completed rights issue. The decision means that it issues 642,950 units as guarantee compensation directed to a number of the guarantors who provided guarantee commitments in the rights issue of units that the Company carried out during the period 20 June to 7 July 2023, in accordance with the guarantee agreements entered into.

On the same day, the company also announces that it carries out a directed issue to EIC in connection with the completed rights issue. The Company's Board of Directors, pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 14 June 2023, decided to issue 9,150,000 units to the European Innovation Council ("EIC") Accelerator, in accordance with the investment agreement published on 15 May 2023. Realheart thus receives an additional SEK 14,640,000 before transaction costs.

During the first part of August, Realheart announces that the Nomination Committee of the company proposes that Magnus Öhman be elected to the Board at the next general meeting. Until then, he is co-opted to the board. Magnus Öhman has extensive experience from the medical technology industry, including as CEO of St Jude Medical's Swedish subsidiary within Cardiac Rhythm Management.

In the second half of August, the company announced three upcoming presentations regarding different parts of the achieved research results. The presentations take place at three different scientific conferences in Europe – ESAO in Bergamo, BDW in Rostock and EUMS in Paris – where many future customers and partners participate. Among other things, the company highlights its experience with animal-free methods in its development work and challenges the industry to take the step away from animals.

In a press release at the end of August, Realheart announced that CEO Ina Laura Perkins has been invited to speak about the company's artificial heart at the China Heart Congress in Beijing in September 2023. The conference is one of the largest in cardiovascular diseases in the Asia-Pacific region with over 8,000 participants. Ina Laura Perkins has been invited by one of China's leading heart surgeons, Mr Shenshou Hu, President of Fuwai Hospital in Beijing.

The last thing that happens in August is that Realheart decides to co-opt Stuart McConchie to the board, after the nomination committee informs that it intends to propose him as a new board member at the next general meeting. Stuart McConchie has held top positions in global medical technology companies for more than 25 years, guiding companies from research to product commercialisation.

September begins with the news that Realheart has been selected for Business Sweden's scale-up programme Catalyst, which aims to create international growth. In the programme, which is aimed at Sweden's most innovative and promising companies, participants receive a tailored project plan for market entry valued at SEK 250,000 and opportunities to build networks in the market, among investors and other experts.

Significant Events After the End of the Period

On the penultimate day of October, Realheart announces another addition to the board, Giovanni Lauricella, after the nomination committee announced that it intends to propose him as a new board member at the next general meeting. Giovanni Lauricella is currently Managing Partner at Lifeblood Inc, a company specialising in recruitment and fundraising for medical device companies.

November begins with the press release announcing that Realheart has successfully established a new test model for evaluating the impact of artificial hearts on the blood. Initial test results show that the company's artificial heart, Realheart TAH, induces 80% lower degree of haemolysis compared to today's market-dominant heart pump system. The company will shortly start haemolysis testing with the clinical version of the product.

In mid-November, Realheart provides an update on the development and commercialisation of Realheart TAH based on a thorough analysis conducted under the guidance of the company's Board of Directors, including the new co-opted members. Realheart will focus more clearly on the use of the product as a bridging treatment before organ transplantation and now assesses that the product can receive reimbursement in the US already when used in clinical trials.

CEO Ina Laura Perkins Has the Word

Since last summer, we have been able to attract three new people who will be proposed for election to the Board at an
Extraordinary General Meeting on November 24. They have already contributed significant knowledge and experience from the cardiac medical device industry as adjunct members. After the end of the reporting period, we could announce that initial tests show that Realheart TAH induces 80% less hemolysis than today's market-dominant artificial heart, and a few days ago we presented an updated development and commercialization plan. Although our timetable has been slightly postponed, we now see an opportunity for revenue already during the upcoming clinical trials.

New Specialist Expertise to the Board

In August, Magnus Öhman, former CEO of Cardiac Rhythm Management, and Stuart McConchie, with a background as CEO and COO of three international heart pump companies, were added to the company's board. At the end of October, Giovanni Lauricella, who has a solid network among international specialist investors, was also added.

Updated Development and Commercialization Plan

After thorough work under the leadership of our strengthened board, we were able to present an updated development and commercialization plan earlier this week. We will now focus more clearly on the use of Realheart TAH as a bridging treatment while waiting for organ transplantation – a sub-market where each percentage point of the patients currently on the waiting list for heart transplantation in Europe and the US corresponds to a potential sales revenue of 150 MSEK. At the same time, we have identified an opportunity to obtain reimbursement for Realheart TAH in the US already in the clinical trial phase, which would result in an earlier revenue flow than previously planned. In light of, among other things, delayed deliveries of components, we have updated the schedule for the remaining steps before the first clinical study and we now estimate that a trial application can be submitted at the turn of the year 2024/25.

Additional Puzzle Pieces in Place for the First Clinical Study

We have now succeeded in establishing a preclinical test system that makes it possible to mimic the blood flow throughout the body and more comprehensively evaluate damage to red blood cells (hemolysis). Initial test results show that Realheart TAH induces 80% lower degree of hemolysis compared to today's market-dominant artificial heart. It is also gratifying that for the first clinical study in humans, we have a well-functioning collaboration in place with Professor Göran Dellgren, chief physician at the Transplantation Center and Thoracic Clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

International Attention for Realheart TAH

In late August, we participated in ESAO in Italy and EUMS in Paris, two important European meetings that bring together experts in interventional cardiology. During the quarter, we were awarded Business Sweden's CATALYST grant of 250,000 SEK to map the addressable market for Realheart TAH in China.

Business Sweden also sponsored our presence at the Chinese International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai where we participated on November 5-10. The visit followed closely on the heels of the China Heart Congress in early September, where the company was invited to present Realheart TAH to China's top cardiologists.

We have also attended scientific meetings and investor conferences in Finland, Malta, USA, China and Turkey and had the opportunity to demonstrate a prototype of the product's controller. In October, I was invited by the Heart Failure Policy Network to attend the launch of the Heart Failure Mission at the European Parliament in Brussels. Today, approximately 15 million individuals in Europe suffer from heart failure, a figure that is expected to increase by 90% by 2040. The Parliament's initiative aims to highlight the clinical need for new heart failure treatments and promote European investment in the field.

CEO, Scandinavian Real Heart AB

Scandinavian Real Heart AB

Swedish innovation power has given the world medical technology inventions such as the heart and lung machine, the pacemaker and the dialysis machine. The next big innovation is Realheart's artificial heart. A Swedish patented innovation that will save the lives of heart failure patients. Every year, 3,500 people die of heart failure in Sweden alone. Today, the only rescue is a heart transplant, but the number of donated hearts is only enough for 2% of those in need.

The start-up of the company was initiated by the doctor Azad Najar in 1999 when he started sketching an artificial heart that completely mimics the biological. In 2007, Azad co-founded Scandinavian Real Heart with two partners. The original idea behind Realheart® TAH is based on flow analyzes made at KTH 2002-2005 and is based on constructing an artificial heart that mimics the biological. By imitating its basic principle, a pressure and flow is created that reduces the risk of blood clots and provides an energy-efficient blood flow. These factors are important to give the patient a good quality of life. The development of the product has progressed strongly over the years. Blood circulation, pump function, pressure, and pulse generation have been verified in ethically approved animal experiments. Today, research and development takes place in close collaboration with world-leading heart surgeons, researchers and engineers.

Patent Protection

Realheart has granted patents in Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, China and India that protect the original pump principle in TAH. This patent also provides protection for future products: RealVAD® and PulsePump®.

Patent protection is also available on the latest version of Realheart® TAH in Sweden, USA, UK, Australia and Japan. The patent application for it has also been filed for Germany and Canada. The patents provide protection in the markets that are largest and most important for artificial hearts right now, with the exception of China and India which are considered important emerging markets. In addition to the patent protection described above, Realheart has also approved patents in Sweden, the USA and the United Kingdom for the future Sternal prosthesis product.

The application is also submitted in Germany and France. In 2018, a new connection was designed for a simple and secure connection between Realheart® TAH and the body's circulatory system. The patent application for this has also been filed.

Finally, the patent application has been filed in two parts for the use of pressure sensors for the automatic control. Given the existing patents together with the new patent applications, the Board believes that the company has a strong patent situation and strong intellectual property protection.

Mission and Goal

Realheart's mission is to use medical technology solutions to save as many heart failure patients as possible and to create the best conditions for a life-affirming continuation of life. The company's overall goal is for the artificial heart to be commercialized and become a full-fledged treatment alternative for patients with heart failure. The heart should have a better function than the solutions that are on the market today. It should be possible to use both as a bridge to transplantation and as final therapy.

The Stock

Scandinavian Real Heart AB was listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in December 2021. Nasdaq First North GM is a registered SME marketplace for growth companies that enables Nordic and international entrepreneurs to gain access to growth capital to develop and expand their operations. As of September 30, 2023, the number of shares in Scandinavian Real Heart was 96 994 446.

Realheart provides an update on the development and commercialization of its artificial heart

Västerås, Sweden, November 13, 2023 – Scandinavian Real Heart AB (publ) today provides a strategy update on the development and commercialization of its artificial heart, the Realheart TAH, which in initial testing has been shown to induce 80% lower levels of hemolysis compared to today's market-dominant artificial heart. This update is based on a thorough analysis conducted under the guidance of the company's Board of Directors, including the new adjunct board members. Realheart will increase its focus on the use of the product as a bridging treatment ahead of organ transplantation and now deems that the product is eligible for reimbursement in the US already when used in upcoming clinical trials. Because of significant supply chain issues and delays with development partners, the scheduled start of the first clinical study has been postponed from 2024 to 2025. This is in turn likely to impact the timing of a future market introduction.

"The Board and management, in consultation with external experts, have conducted a thorough review of the plans for the development and commercialization of the Realheart TAH. The updated plan includes a sharper focus on the use of the Realheart TAH as a bridging treatment for patients awaiting organ transplantation. Further, we have identified an opportunity to get the product reimbursed already for use in upcoming clinical trials in the US, which has the potential to generate early revenues for the company. The use of our artificial heart ahead of organ transplantation is the first important step towards our long-term vision – that no one should have to die from heart failure," says Realheart's CEO, Ina Laura Perkins.

A more precisely defined commercialization strategy

In total, more than 8,300 patients with severe heart failure are currently listed for a heart transplant in Europe and the US. Many of these unfortunately die during their time on the waiting list. Realheart aims to significantly reduce this mortality and increase the quality of life for those waiting for a donor organ. The company aims to provide the first artificial heart that mimics the human heart, and thus, has the potential to minimize the risk of side effects.

Following decades of research and development, the Realheart TAH is now undergoing functional and safety testing ahead of the first clinical study in humans. Realheart deems that the product is eligible for reimbursement in the US already for use in the upcoming clinical trials, which has the potential to generate early revenue streams for the company.

Future market approvals will create significant commercial potential – each one percent of the patients currently on waiting lists in Europe and the US for heart transplantation corresponds to a potential sales revenue of SEK 150 million. The use of the Realheart TAH in this setting is an important first step towards the company's long-term vision – that broader patient groups will have access to the product so that no one must die of heart failure.

Since the global number of transplant centers is limited, it will be possible to market Realheart TAH with relatively limited resources. The company's business model is based on direct sales of the product in the US and Europe, with the addition of necessary services and support for clinical staff and patients.

Updated timeline

Preparatory activities ahead of clinical studies

An application to initiate the first clinical study of Realheart TAH is expected to be submitted to the relevant authorities at the turn of 2024/2025. This requires a comprehensive preclinical data package based on safety studies, blood tests and reliability studies.

Safety studies are being conducted in preclinical models to meet regulatory requirements for the first study in patients. This work is progressing with very positive results to date.

The blood tests are carried out in a laboratory setting and the company has recently established a preclinical test system that mimics the natural blood flow throughout the body, thereby enabling a more reliable evaluation of red blood cell damage (hemolysis). Initial test results show that the Realheart TAH induces 80% lower levels of hemolysis compared to today's market-dominant heart pump systems.

Reliability studies of the individual components of the Realheart TAH have already been carried out with good results, and corresponding tests of the artificial heart as a complete system will start shortly.

First in human study

As part of the preparations for the first clinical study of the Realheart TAH, the company has established a collaboration with Professor Göran Dellgren, Chief Physician at the Transplantation Center and Thorax Clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Several experimental and clinical preparatory studies are conducted within the framework of this collaboration, including further evaluation of alternative surgical methods, and definition of the suitable patient pool for the clinical study.

The initial clinical study, which is expected to be initiated in 2025, will be conducted in 2 to 4 patients awaiting heart transplantation. Assuming positive results, an additional study in 10-20 patients will follow to confirm the performance and safety of the Realheart TAH in clinical use, prior to market authorization applications.

The process towards market authorization

A process has been initiated in Europe with a Notified Body (an independent organization that ensures that manufacturers comply with EU regulations), to establish the requirements for Market Approval in the EU.

In parallel, Realheart has had meetings with the US regulatory authority (the FDA) to determine what documentation will be required for Market Approval, and further meetings are anticipated to establish the specific application process that is most appropriate in the US.

In order to solve the Company's longer-term financing needs, Realheart works continuously to evaluate alternatives for further capitalization of the Company.

Significant Events During the Second Quarter of the Year

In April, it is announced that industry players and Realheart estimate the market potential for total artificial hearts (TAHs) to be over 200,000 units per year in Europe and the US. Realheart believes it is well positioned to take significant market share with its four-chamber artificial heart.

During April, the company announces that Joseph Bornoff's simulations of Realheart have been published in the Springer Nature journal Scientific Reports. Bornoff has developed an advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model of the Realheart® TAH (Total Artificial Heart) to study the blood flow in the pump and optimize its function.

Furthermore, it is communicated that results of Scandinavian Realheart's total artificial heart showing lower hemolysis are published in the journal Artificial Organs. The article summarizes the work done by an international research team led by Dr Ina Laura Perkins and Dr Azad Najar from Realheart, in collaboration with researchers at Swansea University Medical School in the UK.

May begins with researchers at Scandinavian Real Heart and the University of Bath publishing the world's first computer simulation method for dual mechanical heart valves in series. The article is the result of an international collaboration between researchers at Realheart and researchers at the University of Bath (UK) and was published in the scientific journal "Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering".

In mid-May, Realheart communicates decisions on new issues of up to 73 MSEK. May also includes a confirmation that Scandinavian Real Heart AB receives an initial investment from EIC Fund of up to 3.5 MEUR.

June begins with a board member resigning from Scandinavian Real Heart AB at his own request. After careful consideration, Patrick NJ Schnegelsberg took the decision to resign from the board of Realheart, as his work situation required his undivided attention and time.

In the beginning of June, Realheart announces that the company participates in a Vinnova collaboration for wireless TAH technology. The company Invivopower has been awarded a grant of 0.9 MSEK from Vinnova to further develop its patented technology for wireless energy transfer through the skin in collaboration with Scandinavian Real Heart AB.

Significant Events After the End of the Period

In the first days of July, the Company communicates that 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 with the Company's artificial heart.

July also begins with the German heart surgeon Professor Jan Schmitto, via a press release, estimating the market for companies that can provide a sufficiently good artificial heart is huge. He assesses Realheart's TAH as very promising, partly due to the pulsating blood flow similar to the human heart.

In the first week of July, after Almi's evaluation, it was announced that Scandinavian Real Heart AB would receive business development support totaling 0.85 MSEK. Realheart submitted four applications and all have been approved.

Further into July, Scandinavian Real Heart AB announces the outcome of the Company's rights issue.

At the end of July, a press release is published that Realheart conducts a directed new issue of units to guarantors and a directed issue to EIC in connection with the completed rights issue.

A few days into August, Realheart announces the last day of trading with BTU and the first day of trading with warrants of series TO2.

In the second week of August, Realheart communicates that Magnus Öhman is elected to the company's board of directors. Magnus Öhman has extensive experience from the medical technology industry, including as CEO of St. Jude Medical's Swedish subsidiary within Cardiac Rhythm Management.

CEO Ina Laura Perkins has the Word

A look back at the first quarter provides confidence in the development going forward, including the achievement of a significant milestone of four-day survival in animals. Confidence in the product and the company was strengthened, resulting in two prominent cardiac surgeons deciding to join our team; Professor Bart Meyns in our Medical Council and Dr. Ulf Kjellman as Medical Director.

During the second quarter, the initial focus was on intensified marketing towards the medical community via three articles on Realheart® TAH, approved for publication in scientific journals. Later in the quarter, we increased awareness of our heart among our collaborating cardiac surgeons and the general public through a news broadcast at Trading Direkt Healthcare and through a conference presentation in Austria. As knowledge about artificial hearts as an alternative to heart transplants needs to be spread globally, these international articles and presentations play a key role.

As we establish an internationally recognized brand, it is of course important to ensure its protection. We are therefore delighted to announce that Realheart is registered in several key target markets, including the EU, US, Canada, Japan and Australia.

On the financing side, we got the go-ahead from the European Innovation Council to invest via a directed issue. This is a major success factor as few companies are privileged to be nominated for this type of investment of up to 15 MEUR. At the same time, we started a new share issue with a closing date of July 7, as the development of artificial hearts needs continuous financing, and the closer we get to the clinic, the more financing opportunities open up.

Another exciting news is the collaboration with the Swedish Invivopower for the development of wireless charging instead of power supply via a cable through the skin, which is the norm for all heart pump manufacturers today. The Vinnova funding enables Invivopower to develop a first prototype for wireless charging completely tailored to our wishes. This is a great opportunity for us to start a future project in the present and thus potentially offer wireless charging earlier than planned. This would benefit both patients and doctors.

Our request to Sahlgrenska for collaboration to conduct the first clinical trial received a very positive response from Professor Göran Dellgren, an internationally recognized heart surgeon. The hospital is one of only two in Sweden authorized to perform heart transplants, so we are now working together towards the goal of offering our artificial heart to Swedish patients via the first clinical trial in Sweden.

Realheart Interim Report 230401-230630

Realheart Performs a Directed Issue to EIC 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 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 to EIC in Connection With the Completed Rights Issue

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

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.

If all warrants of series TO2 are fully exercised for subscription of new shares in the Company, the total number of shares in the Company will increase with an additional 10 607 324 shares, from 77 408 546 shares to 88 015 870 shares, and the share capital will increase with an additional SEK 1 060 732.4, from SEK 7 740 854.60 to SEK 8 801 587.0, corresponding to a dilution effect of 12.1 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company.

The Annual General Meeting resolved that the Nomination Committee for the Annual General Meeting 2024 shall consist of Kim Norström and Azad Najar.

Amendment of the Articles of Association

The Annual General Meeting resolved on an amendment of the Articles of Association whereby the share capital in the Company shall amount to not less than SEK 7,000,000 and not more than SEK 28,000,000 and the number of shares shall amount to not less than 70,000,000 shares and not more than of 280,000,000 shares.

Furthermore, it was resolved to introduce a new section 11 in the Articles of Association which allows the General Meeting to be held in Västerås or Stockholm.

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.

In the event the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, Realheart will receive approximately SEK 56 million before transaction costs.
The Rights Issue is covered to approximately 9.5 percent through subscription commitments from existing shareholders and to approximately 51.2 percent through underwriting commitments. Thus, the Rights Issue is secured to 60.6 percent through subscription commitments and underwriting commitments.

Background and motive to the Rights Issue

Realheart develops a total artificial heart (TAH) for implantation in patients with life-threatening heart failure. Realheart TAH has a patented design that resembles that of the natural human heart. The artificial heart consists of a four-chamber system (two atria and two ventricles) designed to generate a physiological blood flow pattern that mimics the body’s natural circulation – a unique concept in the medical technology world.

The clinical version of Realheart TAH, i.e. the version that will eventually be used in humans, was fully developed in 2022 and began to be tested in preclinical studies. During the animal trials, Realheart was able to gradually increase survival time from one to four days. In addition, several other key TAH performance criteria were confirmed, including no signs of hemolysis (damage to red blood cells) or thromboembolic events (blood clots) in combination with a good left-right balance and a pulsatile blood flow and natural blood pressure. In 2023, the Company will continue to conduct animal trials as well as reliability studies and blood tests in order to meet the FDA’s requirements for starting clinical studies in humans. Realheart aims to start human clinical studies in 2024 and has regular dialog with both the FDA in the US and the Notified Body in the EU. Realheart also focuses on negotiating and signing agreements with strategically important national and international suppliers and partners who will contribute to the development and production of Realheart TAH.

To be able to further fund the preclinical studies and generate successful results, with the ambition to begin human clinical trials during 2024, Realheart is conducting a Rights Issue.

The capital from the Rights Issue of maximum approximately SEK 56 million will be allocated to the following areas of application, in order of priority:

Preclinical studies: approximately 75 percent

Blood tests and reliability tests: 25 percent
Animal trials: 50 percent

Regulatory work: Approximately 5 percent
Operational costs: Approximately 20 percent

In the event of full subscription in the Rights Issue, the Company is provided approximately SEK 56 million before transaction costs.
The subscription period for units will take place from 20 June 2023 until and including 7 July 2023.

The subscription price per unit is SEK 1.6, corresponding to SEK 0.8 per share. The warrants are issued free of charge.
In the Rights Issue, a maximum number of 34,979,248 units will be issued, corresponding to 69,958,496 shares and 34,979,248 warrants of series TO2.

In order to solve the Company's longer-term financing needs, Realheart works continuously to evaluate alternatives for further capitalization of the Company.

Significant Events During the First Quarter of the Year

January starts with communicating increased survival time from one to four days, and also that several performance criteria were increased. All this was reached in the end of 2022, but was communicated in 2023, after collection of data including analysis. The main citieria were: no hemolysis, no thromboembolic events, high pumping capacity and good right-left balance, and short procedure.

In January, the company also communicates that they, together with KTH, developed Sweden's First Patient Simulator. The collaboration between Realheart and KTH to develop the simulator (scientific term: "hybrid simulator") began in 2022 after a contribution of SEK 4 million from Smart Elektronik, a joint initiative by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency.

In Januari, the company also communicates that Dr. Ulf Kjellman Strengthens Realheart's Medical Advisory Board. Ulf Kjellman has over 35 years of experience in cardiothoracic surgery.

End of February, Professor Bart Meyns Strengthens Realheart's Advisory Board. Dr Meyns is a Professor at the University of Leuven in Belgium and is also leading Realheart's surgical team in the ongoing animal study.

In the beginning of March, Realheart announces the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series TO1. A total of 7 183 148 warrants of series TO1 were exercised, corresponding to approximately 70 percent of the total number of warrants, which brings the Company approximately SEK 4.2 million before issuing related costs.

Significant Events After the end of the Period

In the middle of April the company communicates that the market need in the US and Europe is estimated at 200,000 artificial hearts per year – equivalent to SEK 200 Billion – and the trend is accelerating. Industry players and Realheart estimate that the market potential for total artificial hearts (TAHs) is over 200,000 units per year in Europe and the US. Realheart believes it is well positioned to take significant market share with its four-chamber artificial heart.

In April, Joseph Bornoff’s Simulations of the Realheart is Published in the Springer Nature Journal Scientific Reports. It is an advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the Realheart® TAH (Total Artificial Heart) to study blood flow in the pump and optimize its function. The work has been co-authored with colleagues at Realheart.

At the end of April, results of Scandinavian Realheart’s Total Artificial Heart demonstrating lower rates of hemolysis are published. The peer-reviewed study titled ”In Vitro Hemolytic Performance of the Realheart V11C TAH Prototype with Porcine Blood” was published in the journal of Artificial Organs.

During the first days in May, scientists at Scandinavian Real Heart and at the University of Bath publish the world’s first computer simulation method for dual mechanical heart valves in series. The article “Overset meshing in combination with novel blended weak-strong fluid-structure interactions for simulations of a translating valve in series with a second valve” was published in the scientific journal “Computer

CEO Ina Laura Perkins has the Word

I am pleased to look back at a busy and very successful first quarter of 2023 with several key achievements for Realheart.

First, and foremost, by reaching the four-day survival benchmark of animals implanted with our TAH, we have shown that the Company is on track towards obtaining approval for the first in human use of our implant. This is the result of significant efforts by our R&D team, surgeons, and others who continue to improve surgical methodology and study protocols to a level where the procedure is becoming routine.

Similarly, our R&D team together with researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, successfully developed the first patient simulator (digital twin) that is used to test the Company’s TAH algorithm. Apart from this being a “first” in our space, having access to digital twin technology will improve and streamline our R&D processes for current and future products. The project was rewarded with a grant from the Strategic Innovation Program Smarter Electronic Systems – a joint initiative by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency.

We have continued to expand our team with two world renowned cardiac surgeons: Dr. Ulf Kjellman has been appointed as the Company’s CMO, and Prof. Bart Meyns has joined our Medical Advisory Board. Both are Key Opinion leaders with extensive experience in cardiac surgery and from the field of developing and testing heart pumps.

With the support of our shareholders, we have successfully raised 4.2 MSEK from warrants of series TO1. In an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving environment, this as well as future financing, are critical for us to continue our current trajectory of successes, to effectively progress the development of the Realheart® TAH into the clinic towards product approval, and to create shareholder value.

We have continued to promote Realheart on the international stage to both investors and the medical and scientific community. Dr Azad Najar, our founder and Chief Innovation Officer, was selected as keynote speaker at the Artificial

Intelligence (AI) Conference in Cairo and the Dubai Innovation Conference.

And I have, together with Dr Oliver Voigt, presented Realhart at the Healthcare Investor Conference, Swiss Nordic Bio, in Zürich. Creating awareness and an international footprint of our technology among investors and the medical and scientific communities is key to the future success of the Company.

Significant events after the end of the period is that Realheart has published three scientific articles, in Springer Nature journal Scientific Reports, the journal Artificial Organs, and Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering . This is really important work, done in international collaboration between scientists at Realheart and researchers at the University of Bath and Swansea University Medical School, both in the United Kingdom.

After an eventful start of the year, we are incredibly excited and full of confidence. Knowing that we are on the right track, we are looking forward to completing our pre-clinical studies. Again, I want to highlight that support from current and future shareholders is essential for us to continue on our path to success.

Press Release 27 March, 2023

Cardiac surgeon Ulf Kjellman, who recently joined Realheart's medical advisory board, has now agreed to become the company's Chief Medical Officer (CMO). Kjellman, who has many years of experience in advanced cardiac surgery, will be clinically responsible for the company's preclinical and clinical studies.

"I feel incredibly confident that Ulf Kjellman takes over as medical director and thus assumes clinical responsibility. I will continue as head of innovation with room to focus even more on the continued development of Realheart's entire planned product line, mainly a smaller version of Realheart suitable for women and smaller patients," said company founder Azad Najar.

Ulf Kjellman has over 35 years of experience in cardiac and thoracic surgery. His experience includes a deep involvement in initiating and developing programs for heart transplantation and heart pump treatments at several hospitals, both in Sweden and in other countries, most recently at the National Guard Hospital Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

“It was an easy decision for me to take on the role as Chief Medical Officer at Realheart. Realheart's TAH is an extremely interesting concept and a paradigm shift in artificial hearts. As a product, it fills a gap in the care of heart failure patients with the potential to save tens of thousands of lives within a decade," said Ulf Kjellman.

Kjellman was one of the first to implant both HeartMate 2 and HeartMate 3, after CE marking. (left ventricular assist devices developed by Abbott). He was also the cardiac surgeon who performed the first implantation of the SynCardia artificial heart in Sweden and Scandinavia in 2008. Kjellman has published several scientific articles on cardiovascular diseases in general and on heart pumps specifically. Thanks to his professional experience, Ulf Kjellman has a large network of contacts among potential customers, suppliers, and partners in Sweden, Europe, and the Middle East.

“We are extremely happy and proud that Ulf Kjellman chooses to step into the role of Chief Medical Officer. Although his expertise has been available to us for some time, it is now even clearer what an important role he will play in our continued development. Dr Kjellman will be a very valuable addition to the management team, where he brings extensive experience in cardiac surgery and transplantation. This in turn will be of great importance for our future clinical trials when patients will receive Realheart® TAH," said Ina Laura Perkins, CEO of Realheart.

CEO Ina Laura Perkins "Our heart surgeons speak warmly about our artificial heart"

In the last three months of the year, we made progress in three areas: international marketing, soft funding and our animal studies. In October, our Realheart® TAH was featured in prime time on the German TV channel ZDF in a documentary on heart disease.

A German TV crew visited one of our surgeries to interview the company's founder Azad Najar and the heart surgeon Dilek Gürsoy who performs the operations. Interviewer was a German celebrity chef who has a heart condition himself, and the show followed a young woman with heart failure on her road to a successful heart transplant. The documentary highlights Realheart as a promising alternative solution to the organ shortage.

Germany is one of the largest markets in Europe for artificial hearts. To learn more, I visited the clinic that performs the most heart pump surgeries in the country: the Medical University of Hannover. There I interviewed heart surgeon Professor Jan Schmitto, who said that in Germany alone, 40,000-60,000 artificial hearts are needed each year. This means that we have underestimated the need.

Proof of the strong need is the sales forecast for 2023 from our European competitor. They started selling in November and expect to sell over 100 hearts in the first year at revenues of €10-13 million and scale up production to 1000 hearts by 2027. This is great news for heart failure patients in Europe, but it is only enough for a fraction of patients. Doctors are reminding us that even more artificial hearts are urgently needed.

The situation is similar in the rest of the world. In December, I spoke at the Critical Heart Disease Congress in China. The digital conference has so far been viewed by 24,000 viewers, including doctors and healthcare professionals from Australia, the UK, Austria, Italy, the US and China. I also gave an introduction to the International Society for Mechanical Circulatory Support (ISMCS), for which I have been on the Board since May. Through these networks, we can find the right partners and future customers faster, and raise awareness of artificial hearts as a cure for heart failure. The marketing has already had an impact as I have received enquiries from doctors in Brazil and elsewhere.

To start clinical trials, we need good results from animal studies in addition to blood and durability tests. During the year, we have worked on the surgical process and animal care, for example on the settings of the heart-lung machine. We have realized that this is not readily available knowledge but that we are building up valuable unique know-how within the team. Therefore, we decided not to communicate as frequently and in as much detail about our animal studies as we had done in the past. I understand that this may frustrate shareholders, but I can assure you that we have quietly made great progress: 4 days of survival without blood damage.

Developing an artificial heart requires excellence throughout the entire chain – from idea to marketing and sales. This chain is complete with us, we have all the pieces needed to get to market. Here, our international expertise from several artificial heart projects contributes greatly, as it is a challenge to find equivalent in Sweden. I am convinced that our diversity contributes strongly to our success. It is awesome that we have over 100 years of combined expertise.

In addition to a strong team and good results, continued funding is needed to reach the market. Therefore, we are working on the due diligence process for the European Innovation Council fund which has nominated us for €15 million investment, as well as on finding soft funding. We are very grateful that ALMI chose to continue supporting our work with an innovation loan of 7.6 million SEK. In the first quarter of 2023, our shareholders can further strengthen our cash position via the share option. The funding will be used for animal studies and to start the blood tests on the clinical version of Realheart TAH – we are proceeding nicely according to our plan in other words.

Scandinavian Real Heart AB

Swedish innovation power has given the world medical technology inventions such as the heart and lung machine, the pacemaker and the dialysis machine. The next big innovation is Realheart's artificial heart. A Swedish patented innovation that will save the lives of heart failure patients. Every year, almost 3,500 people die of heart failure in Sweden alone. Today, the best treatment is a heart transplant, but the number of donated hearts is only enough for 2% of those in need.

The idea behind Realheart was born in 1999, when the doctor and innovator Azad Najar made the first sketch of an artificial heart that fully mimics the biological one. In 2007, Azad co-founded Scandinavian Real Heart with two partners. The original idea behind Realheart® TAH is based on flow analyzes made at KTH 2002-2005 and is based on constructing an artificial heart that mimics the biological. By imitating its basic principle, a pressure and flow is created with the aim to reduce the risk of blood clots and provides an energy-efficient blood flow. These factors are important to give the patient a good quality of life. The development of the product has progressed strongly over the years. Blood circulation, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pump function and pulse generation have been verified in ethically approved animal experiments. Today, research and development takes place in close collaboration with world-leading heart surgeons, researchers and engineers.

Patent Protection

Mission and Goal

Realheart's mission is to use medical technology solutions to save as many heart failure patients as possible and to create the best conditions for a good quality of life. The company's overall goal is for the artificial heart to be commercialized and become a full-fledged treatment alternative for patients with heart failure. The heart should have a better function than the solutions that are on the market today. It should be possible to use both as a bridge to transplantation and as permanent therapy.

Realheart Year-end Report_Q4 2022

Realheart Reaches New Milestone With the World’s First Four Chamber Artificial Heart

Press Release, 10 January 2023

Scandinavian Real Heart AB, the company developing the world's first four-chamber total artificial heart (TAH), successfully extended the survival of animals implanted with Realheart’s TAH.

Since the series of animal trials with the clinical version of the company's TAH began in 2022, Realheart has been able to increase survival time from one to four days.

After implantation, the animal was able to stand up and eat. In addition, Scandinavian Real Heart was able to confirm key TAH performance criteria, including:

No haemolysis (damage to red blood cells): Haemolysis due to mechanical stress caused by artificial hearts on blood cells is a major cause of severe side effects impacting survival of artificial heart patients over time.
No thromboembolic events (blood clots): Good blood flow and low mechanical stress in the TAH minimise the risk of very serious, and life-threatening consequences for patients, including stroke.
High pumping capacity and good right-left balance: The TAH can pump eight litres of blood per minute. This is significantly more capacity than what an adult human needs. The balance between blood flow from the right and left ventricles is crucial for survival.
Short procedure: A heart-lung machine used during the implantation of the TAH was disconnected after less than 2.5 hours. The extended use of a heart-lung machine during open heart surgeries poses considerable safety risks to patients. Realheart is developing its TAH to reduce time on a heart-lung machine and overall procedure times, therefore improving overall safety.

''I am incredibly pleased with how much we have been able to achieve after just a few implantations of our TAH. The fact that we see no signs of haemolysis or blood clots, combined with the fact that we can achieve good left-right balance, a pulsatile blood flow, and natural blood pressure, is extremely satisfying. We are now moving forward with the aim of continuing to further prolong survival time by optimising the surgical methodology,'' said Ina Laura Perkins, CEO of Realheart. The company plans to initiate human clinical trials in 2024.
