SciBase SEK 71.2m Directed Issues | Q2 2021

Commenting on the transactions

“So far in 2021 we have received MDR certification, launched our NMSC (non-melanoma skin cancer) indication in Europe and filed an application for reimbursement coverage with CMS in Florida, US. With the share issues, we will further accelerate our strategic growth areas and our market penetration in the US by applying for reimbursement in additional regions.

Furthermore, we will continue to develop our skin barrier application with a focus on securing additional partnerships. In summary, the share issues provide SciBase with the financing needed to achieve reimbursement in the US, while also strengthening the shareholder base through welcoming new local and international institutional owners such as ÖstVäst Capital Management and the specialist investor Van Herk Investments B.V. Through its investments in BioInvent, Immunicum and Zealand Pharma, Van Herk has shown great success in life science and in addition they also have good knowledge within the field of skin cancer.”, says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.
