Comments from the CEO    

”2016 was an eventful year for Initiator Pharma. The company was established as a spin-out from Saniona during the first half of the year, in the process acquiring several promising drug candidates. Through lex asea Saniona distributed its ownership in Initiator Pharma to its shareholders, and as a consequence Initiator Pharma gained a base of about 4.000 shareholders. With the successful completion of the SEK 20.5 mill share issue behind us and with the planned listing on AktieTorget in March, the company is now in an excellent position to progress our development targets, to the benefit of both patients and our shareholders.”
