Finansinspektionen) and the fulfilment of the distribution requirement for the Company’s shares.

The first day of trading on Nasdaq Stockholm is expected to be 4 July 2024. Due to the listing, EQL Pharma will be de-listed from Spotlight Stock Market and the last day of trading on Spotlight Stock Market is expected to be 3 July 2024. Shareholders of EQL Pharma will not need to take any actions in connection with the admission to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm.
CEO Axel Schörling comments: ”A listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm is an important step in EQL Pharma’s continued development and gives the Company further access to the Swedish and international capital markets. EQL Pharma has been listed on Spotlight Stock Market since 2013, but we believe that the listing of the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm will increase the conditions for broadening our shareholder base and give the Company access to additional international and institutional investors, which is deemed to promote the Company’s continued development. Furthermore, the listing also carries a quality stamp for EQL Pharma and our operations.” Schörling further elaborates: "Going through a listing process in parallel with an intensive growth phase has been instructive and exciting, but also extremely demanding at times. I would like to extend special thanks to our CFO, Anna Jönsson, who has held the process together in an excellent way."
