- To ensure the long-term financing of the business, in September the company raised about SEK 74.7 million before issue expenses through a rights issue. The rights issue was fully subscribed, including 63 percent subscribed with the support of subscription rights and 1 percent without the support of subscription rights. The company’s three largest shareholders, along with the CEO and the Chairman of the Board, subscribed for the remainder, 36 percent, in accordance with the guarantee commitments.

- On October 31, the journal Respiratory Research published a study from the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria, which shows that ColdZyme blocks the widespread and highly transmissible omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5 from adhering to and infecting human cells. According to the research group that conducted the study, this opens the possibility that ColdZyme can be applied in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 spreading. Continued clinical trials are needed to establish the effect in vivo.

”The study that has been published in Respiratory Research shows ColdZyme has the potential to move from a cold remedy product to a complement to vaccines in the protection against Covid-19. After a couple of very hard years, many signs now indicate that Enzymatica has passed the austerity caused by the pandemic. We see good possibilities of expanding in new and existing markets, we have a good organization in place, and strong business partners. I am convinced that there are a number of exciting and successful years ahead of us”, said Claus Egstrand, CEO of Enzymatica.
