Comment by Jan Nilsson, CEO
“With this new issue of shares Combigene will receive resources to further conduct the epilepsy project CG01 with full force. The results from the animal trials show a very promising potential for all those epilepsy patients that do not have any medical treatment alternatives. The market potential for our chosen indication is SEK 4-10 billion per year even with careful assumptions. We welcome shareholders to take part of this exciting journey.
