Advicenne Announces Its Intention to List on the Regulated Market of Euronext Brussels
May 23, 2019NÎMES, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
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.
