Prima BioMed Changes Its Name to Immutep Ltd

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prima BioMed Ltd (ASX: PRR; NASDAQ: PBMD) (“Prima” or the “Company”) has announced a rebranding of the Company from Prima BioMed Ltd to Immutep Ltd (“Immutep”) following shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting on 17 November 2017.

Following the acquisition of Immutep S.A.S (the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary in France) in December 2014 and subsequent sale under license of the Company’s former cancer vaccine CVac to Sydys Corporation, its sole focus has been on developing its portfolio of LAG-3 based immunotherapy assets.

The name Immutep has a strong association with LAG-3 and its founder, Prima’s Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Frederic Triebel. Additionally, many of the Company’s clinical partner associations are with Immutep and several patents remain registered under the Immutep name.

CEO Marc Voigt said: “As the global leader in LAG-3, the name Immutep better represents our corporate identity and activities. As it is already embedded in our day to day operations, costs associated with the rebrand will be minimal so it makes both strategic and economic sense. Immutep is already associated with LAG-3 and we see this as an important step in building awareness of our market position and exciting asset portfolio.”   

Subject to relevant regulatory approvals, the Company’s new ASX Code will be ‘IMM’ and its new Nasdaq code will be ‘IMMP’.

The effective date for the name change and the ticker codes on the ASX and NASDAQ will be on or around the commencement of trading on Friday, 1 December 2017.

Further shareholder information regarding the change of name can be accessed on the Company’s website www.primabiomed.com.au.
