Milestones January-March 2019
On January 11, 2019, Panion had been selected as one of 24 finalist companies to present at the 2019 Animal Health Investment Innovation Showcase, and as one of four in the programme on translational technology from human-to-veterinary pharma. The Animal Health Investment Europe is a premier investment forum showcasing the most exciting investment opportunities in animal health and nutrition and connecting those businesses with financial investors and strategic corporate partners.
On January 15, 2019, the rights issue from December 2018 had been registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Shares and share capital after the registration by the Swedish Companies Registration Office amount to SEK 1,137,110.723254 divided into 24,399,487 shares.
On January 16, 2019, it was announced that the US-FDA has granted a fee waiver for 2019, as for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. This means that also for 2019, the company must not pay the very high fee for a running application to the FDA. The fee waiver is granted as a result of the MUMS determination (Minor Use Minor Species) for Panion's development product for gene therapy for dog epilepsy.
On January 16, 2019, the Categorical Exclusion for environmental assessment was announced. Panion had applied to US-FDA for claiming a so-called "Categorical Exclusion" under 21 CFR 25.33(e) for the investigational use of CG-01-canine with regards to environmental requirements for the clinical trials to be conducted. This was agreed by the FDA, and therefore neither an environmental assessment (EA) nor an environmental impact statement (EIS) is required for the investigational use in clinical trials. This is a clear reduction of the regulatory and administrative burden for the company, because environmental assessments can be very comprehensive and labor intensive.
On January 23, 2019, Panion drew down a second tranche (SEK 2 million) from the investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global ("Yorkville"). This tranche was later revoked and repaid in March 2019, see below on March 18, 2019.

On February 27, 2019, the presentation that was given by Panion's chairman of the board, Lars Thunberg, at the Animal Health Investment Europe was published. Lars Thunberg informed the audience about the promising business idea in veterinary medicines and the progress over the last two years. The focus was on the commercial elements of Panion's business plan and set out the possible road to commercialization. The event is a premier investment forum showcasing the most exciting investment opportunities in animal health and nutrition and connecting those businesses with financial investors and strategic corporate partners.
On March 5, 2019, it was announced that Panion's highly competent advisory board had been expanded with the fourth member, Dr. Dominic J. Marino, DVM, DACVS, DACCT, CCRP, who is the lead investigator of the ongoing clinical study in dogs. Dr. Marino is an experienced veterinary neurologist and neurosurgeon. He is the Chief of Staff of Long Island Veterinary Specialists, the Director of the Canine Chiari Institute, and a founding board member of the New York Veterinary Foundation.
On March 7, 2019, an update from the ongoing clinical study was released. The study will give the first evidence of the level of treatment effect in dogs, which so far has been deducted from multiple rat studies. The announcing of the clinical efficacy study is progressing well with information to dog owners and referring vets in the New York area, and the first dog screenings have been scheduled. The training of personnel and technics are ongoing, and the product itself is manufactured in accordance with the time plan. The first study data are expected by the end of 2019.
On March 8, 2019, the head of LIVS and lead investigator on Panion's clinical efficacy trial in dogs, Dr. Dominic Marino, held a technical meeting with associate professor David Woldbye in Copenhagen to ensure full transfer of knowledge and technical procedures. The previous two studies in dogs related to Panion's gene therapy product documented the safety of the treatment and procedures. Both were conducted at the University of Copenhagen under the lead of Dr. Woldbye, who is one of the scientific founders of the innovation and a member of Panion's advisory board. Dr. Marino as an experienced veterinary neurosurgeon, and Dr. Woldbye as the scientific expert and human medical doctor - exchanged experiences to secure the optimal way to progress the clinical study successfully.
On March 18, 2019, Panion Animal Health, by mutual agreement, revoked the remaining convertibles that were held by US-based Yorkville Advisors; Yorkville then has no outstanding convertibles.
