Oslo, 26 May 2023 – Following the closing of the acceptance period in the previously announced public offer, Navamedic ASA (OSE: NAVA), a Nordic pharma company and reliable provider of high-quality products to hospitals and pharmacies, will become the owner of 96.33 per cent of the share capital and votes and 93.16 per cent of the series TO 1 warrants ("Warrants") in Sensidose Aktiebolag ("Sensidose).
This is an important milestone in Navamedic’s plan to acquire all outstanding shares and include Sensidose’s product offering in its well proven and highly scalable market access platform for healthcare products. Navamedic now plans to initiate a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in Sensidose, and to promote a delisting of the Sensidose shares and Warrants from the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden.
“We are excited by the prospect of becoming the owner of Sensidose. Our next step will be to add Sensidose’s unique Parkinson’s treatment to our existing marketing and distribution channels and rapidly ramp up commercialisation efforts in the Nordics.
We have previously proven our ability to quickly improve product sales through our agile platform and know-how in the markets where we operate and have already mapped out several opportunities to increase the sales of Sensidose’s treatment in some of our core markets.
Moving forward, we look forward to cooperating closely with Sensidose and its highly skilled team to ensure long-term success,” said Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen, CEO of Navamedic.
