The issue also includes an overallotment option of 25 million. The subscription period runs until September 27, 2016.
InDex main owners SEB Venture Capital, Industrifonden and NeoMed Management has made significant subscription commitments in the issue of new shares, which through subscription commitments and guarantee commitments is guaranteed to 100 percent.
InDex will also apply for the Company’s shares of class B to be listed for trading on Nasdaq First North Stockholm. Provided that the application for listing is approved, the first day of trading is planned to occur on or about the 11th of October 2016.
The purpose of the offering – in addition to broadening the shareholder base – is to fund the upcoming Phase IIb study with the drug candidate cobitolimod.
– With the development now accelerating and entering a decisive stage, the capital requirement increases. At the same time, we see great potential for a significant increase in value over a couple of years. It is therefore natural to turn to the public market for financing, says InDex Pharmaceuticals CEO Peter Zerhouni.
In connection with the subscription period starting, a dedicated IPO page is launched with information about the company and its operations, including the prospectus, as well as practical information on how to proceed in order to participate in the IPO.

About cobitolimod
Cobitolimod has a new type of mechanism of action. It is a so-called Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist, that can provide an anti‐inflammatory effect locally in the large intestine, which may induce mucosal healing and relief of the clinical symptoms in ulcerative colitis.
Cobitolimod has achieved clinical proof-of-concept in moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis, with a very favorable safety profile. Data from four placebo-controlled clinical trials indicate that cobitolimod has statistically significant effects on those endpoints that are most relevant in this disease, both from a regulatory and clinical perspective. These endpoints include the key clinical symptoms such as blood in stool, number of stools, and mucosal healing, respectively.
In January 2016, WHO recommended the INN name cobitolimod. The substance is also known as Kappaproct® and DIMS0150.
