Minor adjustments regarding above may be made in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
SpectraCure’s CEO, Masoud Khayyami comments: “I am pleased with the strong support from both existing and new shareholders in the Rights Issue. The net proceeds from the completed issue provide SpectraCure with the financial resources needed to finance the preparation for and completion of a Phase 3 clinical trial, regulatory preparation for the FDA application for accelerated approval, and for the initiation of new clinical indications. Our ambition is to have our treatment approved in the European as well as the US market within two years and I look forward with confidence to our dedicated continuing work towards this.”
