Neovacs raises 7.5 million Euro
Neovacs announced that it has received commitments from three U.S. institutional investors for a capital increase totaling 7,500,000 euros.
Participation in the capital increase is limited to biotechnology-focused institutional investors. Neovacs will issue a total of 7,500,000 securities at a price of one euro (premium included). Each security is composed of one ordinary share and one warrant. The warrants will be immediately detached from the shares.
"This capital increase is in line with our development strategy in the United States, a country which has a very high prevalence of lupus and is the reference market for this indication. The funds raised will enable us to move forward with the development of our product portfolio including lead product, IFNα-Kinoid, with new trials starting both in lupus and dermatomyositis. The subscription commitments made by specialists funds in biotechnology are a strong signal in support of our Kinoid technology and our strategy based on the development of active immunotherapies for the treatment of severe and orphan auto-immune diseases with significant medical need", commented Miguel Sieler, CEO of Neovacs.
