NÎMES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
“The planned cross listing aims to give Advicenne greater visibility among European investors, in turn supporting the liquidity of the shares.”
Advicenne (Paris:ADVIC) (Euronext: ADVIC - FR0013296746), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the development of adult and pediatric therapeutic products for the treatment of orphan diseases, today announced its intention to list its shares on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels.
The ordinary shares of Advicenne are currently listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange and would also be admitted to trading on Euronext Brussels as part of the proposed secondary listing. The company would thus benefit from a cross listing on the two largest Euronext markets for companies in the life sciences sector. The cross listing would have no impact on current shareholders and Euronext Paris remains Advicenne’s primary listing venue.
The proposed cross listing aims to further increase the visibility of Advicenne’s shares in Belgium and beyond and fits well with the ongoing clinical developments of Advicenne in Belgium, where the company is conducting a Phase II/III clinical study with its lead product, ADV7103, for the treatment of cystinuria, a rare nephrological disease.
Mr Paul Michalet, Chief Financial Officer of Advicenne, commented: “The planned cross listing aims to give Advicenne greater visibility among European investors, in turn supporting the liquidity of the shares.”
Dr. Luc-André Granier, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Advicenne, concluded: “This project to cross-list our shares on the Euronext Brussels and Paris markets is perfectly in line with our international development strategy. Today, Advicenne is conducting several clinical trials with its lead product ADV7103, including a pivotal Phase II/III study for the treatment of cystinuria for which Belgian Hospitals are important contributors.”
Subject to approval by Euronext and the publication of certain documents, the Advicenne shares will be tradable on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels as from mid-June 2019 with unchanged identification codes (ticker: ADVIC - ISIN code: FR0013296746).
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation to buy the securities mentioned and no sale of such securities will be made in any state or jurisdiction in connection with the proposed cross listing.
