Ascelia Pharma: Outcome of rights issue
Ascelia Pharma’s share price rose by 3,55% yesterday, following the final outcome of the rights issue released before closure. The company has secured approximately SEK 105 million in gross proceeds before issue costs. The issue was completed without guarantors.
This positive outcome reduces the financial uncertainty for Ascelia Pharma and enables the company to continue with the FDA submission process for Orviglance, advance discussions with potential commercial partners ahead of the launch, and amortize SEK 7.5 million of convertible debt to Fenja Capital (Formue Nord), thereby strengthening the balance sheet.
The timetable for NDA submission to FDA for Orviglance:
- Q4-2024: Full Phase-3 - Orviglance study report
- Q1-2025: Conclusions from the FDA pre-submission meeting
- Mid-2025: FDA submission.
Ascelia Pharma will report its Q3 results on November 7, 2024.
