As presented over the weekend, OptiCept Technologies AB (publ) ("OptiCept") has entered into a global commercialization agreement with FPS Food Process Solutions ("FPS"), one of the world's leading suppliers of food processing equipment. At the same time, a comprehensive efficiency program and a conversion of loans into shares were announced.
The agreement with FPS, together with the conversion of loans into shares by the majority of the company's lenders, significantly strengthens the company's balance sheet.
As part of its strategic transition, OptiCept is implementing several measures to strengthen the company's financial position.
Conversion of loans into shares
Several lenders have requested early conversion of loans into shares, which significantly reduces the company's debt.
Inventory transfer
OptiCept transfers inventory to the FPS group, which releases capital and reduces capital tied up in inventory. The transaction also contributes to financing the company's transition costs associated with the new business model.
Overall, these measures mean that OptiCept significantly reduces its debt. Together with the realization of other receivables, the company will be financed until positive cash flow from operating activities is achieved.
Efficiency Program Creates a Path to Profitability
At the same time, OptiCept is implementing an efficiency program that reduces the company's cost base to approximately SEK 25 million on an annual basis.
The program includes:
- organizational adjustments
- staff reductions
- reduced external costs
Together with new license revenues, this creates the conditions for the company to achieve a positive result during the second half of 2026.
