• As previously communicated, most recently in the interim report for October - December 2017, we are in sev­eral discussions with pharmaceutical companies exploring different types of deals; including potential program out-licensing, R&D/platform collaboration. We can now update this guidance and confirm on-going partnership discussions including late stage negotiations of financial terms and other terms. The financial terms under discus­sion are size wise similar to the financial terms of the partnership agreements that Nuevolution has acheived dur­ing recent years. Nuevolution cannot, however, guarantee that such terms will be achieved in a final agreement for potential signing, and cannot guarantee that a final agreement for partnership will be reached and executed. We maintain our guidance on potential realization of a further partnership during the coming six months.

• Nuevolution successfully completed its support to the collaboration with Almirall, who will now solely seek the further development of the program

• Nuevolution's own RORγt candidate compound showed good efficacy following therapeutic dosing in adoptive T-cell transfer mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

• BET-BD1 program on track for nomination of development candidate during the second quarter of 2018

"30 June 2018 is coming up soon, but our preparations to apply for a list change to the main market progresses according to plan. Likewise, our business development discussions and R&D activities progress positively. We therefore maintain our guidance overall (corporate, business and R&D)", said Alex Haahr Gouliaev, CEO
