In total, FPS has thus called for a total of 44 per cent of the total order value. The press release is available on the Company’s website, www.opticept.se.

The Supplementary Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with Article 23 of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the “Prospectus Regulation”) and has today been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
