"Bactiguard's mission is to prevent healthcare-related infections, reduce the use of antibiotics and save lives by developing and manufacturing infection preventive healthcare products. In recent years we have concentrated on developing our own product portfolio and building up a global network of distributors. With the listing of Bactiguard, the final piece of the puzzle falls into place as this provides us with the financial strength necessary to genuinely realise the vigorous growth that we see ahead of us."
"Bactiguard's journey so far has been fantastic, from technical innovation and a licensing business to an international medtech company with its own product portfolio. During the subscription period we have experienced great interest in Bactiguard, from both the public and institutions, and it is gratifying that the offer has been oversubscribed. However, we have received requests from many investors that we, as principal owners, should retain a larger shareholding than was initially deemed appropriate. We have therefore decided to reduce the number of existing shares being sold. We see great potential in Bactiguard, and we look forward to participating in the company's continued development and value growth together with new shareholders."
Swedbank has acted as Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner and ABG Sundal Collier has acted as Co-Lead Manager in connection with the IPO. Cederquist is legal advisor and Lenner & Partners is financial advisor to the Company.
This is information that Bactiguard Holding AB (publ) is required to publish in compliance with the Swedish Securities Market Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication on 19 June 2014, at 07.00.
