“The high development speed in the company has involved an increased interest from investors. At the same time we assess that each cash injection means accreted value as the company’s ability to reach its commercial goals grows substantially,” commented Anders Hilmersson, CEO of Yield Life Science, one of the major owners of Isofol, in a press release.
As a consequence of the rights issue Yield Life Science now owns approximately 20 percent of Isofol.
