CS MEDICA ("CS MEDICA" or "The Company") aims to elevate the value of CS MEDICA's shares, targeting a preliminary valuation of CANNORDIC of MDKK 224. This is a Compliant Publication according to Article 17 MAR of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014.
The Board Members of CS MEDICA, with ISIN DK0061668225, announced the approval to spin off its wholly-owned subsidiary CANNORDIC A/S and to initiate preparations for a separate listing on one of the stock exchange-regulated trading venues in Germany.
