In recent years we have concentrated on developing our own product portfolio and building up a global network of distributors.

During the subscription period we have experienced great interest in Bactiguard, from both the public and institutions, and it is gratifying that the offer has been oversubscribed. However, we have received requests from many investors that we, as principal owners, should retain a larger shareholding than was initially deemed appropriate. We have therefore decided to reduce the number of existing shares being sold. We see great potential in Bactiguard, and we look forward to participating in the company's continued development and value growth together with new shareholders.” Swedbank has acted as Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner and ABG Sundal Collier has acted as Co-Lead Manager in connection with the IPO.
