Saniona to transfer its listing to Nasdaq First North Premier as a step towards Nasdaq Stockholm

Saniona, a leading biotech company in the field of ion channels, today announces that it has submitted an application for trading on Nasdaq First North Premier as a step in company’s plans to list its shares on Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap. If Saniona’s shares are admitted for trading on Nasdaq First North Premier, the Company will delist its shares from AktieTorget. The list transfer to Nasdaq First North Premier is planned to take place in May 2016 and Saniona has initiated the preparations to list its shares on Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap later this year.

All Saniona’s shares will automatically be transferred for trading at Nasdaq First North Premier. The individual shareholders do not need to do anything. Saniona’s shares can be traded normally at AktieTorget until the first trading day on Nasdaq First North Premier.

“We have been very pleased about the listing at AktieTorget. The listing on AktieTorget in April 2014 gave us the possibilities to expand our research and development in a tremendous way. We have in short time gone from an early stage research based company to a biotech drug development company with a pipeline of products of which one program has entered a Phase 2 clinical trial last month. We are aiming at listing the company’s shares on Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap later this year and see Nasdaq First North Premier as a natural next step in professionalizing the company further together with our present and future shareholders,” says Jørgen Drejer, CEO of Saniona.
