Motivation for the rights issue
To increase the commercial potential of the drug candidate SCO-101, Scandion Oncology’s new strategy is to run two clinical Phase II studies in metastatic, drug-resistant cancer patients. By initiating two Phase II clinical studies in parallel, i.e. colorectal and breast cancer, and with two different types of chemotherapy the Company will mitigate the risk by pursuing different cancer indications and increase the commercial value for SCO-101.
Increased subscription commitments
Scandion Oncology has prior to the planned rights issue in writing agreed on subscription commitments and “top-down” guarantee commitments. The subscription commitments have increased by SEK 2 million from previously communicated SEK 16.9 million to SEK 18.9 million. Thus, Scandion Oncology has through subscription commitments and guarantee commitments agreed on approximately SEK 26.1 million corresponding to approximately 89 % of the issue volume.
