Proposed decision
Item 6 – Approval of divesture of shares in Scandivir AB
SCN has sold 13.5 percent of the Company’s total 70-percent holding in Scandivir AB to Anders Uddén, member of the Board of Directors (3,000 shares), and to Carl-Gustav Ingelman, former member of the Board of Directors (10,500 shares), for a total of MSEK 13.5, implying a total value of Scandivir AB at the time of the divesture of MSEK 100. Scandivir is working with development of diagnostic tests for the obesity virus Ad-36, as well as research around antiviral substances (for example SCN’s patented substance NGNA/N5G) to find treatments for common cold and other virus related diseases. Scandivir was founded in April, 2008 by SCN and the American obesity researcher Professor Richard L. Atkinson, and incorporates an extensive IP portfolio around virus related diseases, of which obesity is one, as well as SCN’s patented antiviral compound NGNA/N5G. Intense R&D work is currently conducted in USA by the Obetech lab staff at the University of Virginia, with support from the company’s network of scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The goal is to launch a diagnostic test during 2009, and antiviral treatments soon thereafter. The Company has received a valuation from Strict Corporate Finance. The valuation indicates that the divesture of shares has been made on market based conditions. The Board of Directors therefore suggests that the EGM approve the divesture. The approval of the EGM shall be with 9/10 majority.
Miscellaneous
The complete proposal from the Board of Directors including the fairness opinion according to Item 6 will be held available from December 15, 2008, and will also be sent free of charge to shareholders who so request and state their postal address.
