Sobi's Board of Directors postpones Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
On 27 April 2015 the Board of Directors of Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi) confirmed that it had received a preliminary and conditional non-binding proposal in relation to a possible offer for all shares issued by the company. There can be no certainty that an offer will be made, nor as to the terms of any such offer.
In light of the above the Board of Sobi has decided to postpone the 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM), scheduled for 6 May 2015, to 30 June 2015 in order to be able to provide as much clarity as possible by the time of the meeting. A separate notification for the rescheduled AGM will be published in due course.
Sobi will publish its interim report for the first quarter 2015 on 6 May 2015.
