Exercise of the over-allotment option in the initial public offering of Camurus

In connection with the Offering, the Company’s main shareholder Sandberg Development AB (“Sandberg Development”) granted the Joint Global Coordinators the option to purchase up to 1,671,383 existing shares of the Company for the purpose of covering over-allotments of shares in the Offering (the “Over-allotment Option”). The Joint Global Coordinators have today exercised the Over-allotment Option in full.

After the exercise of the Over-allotment option, Sandberg Development will hold 20,014,978 shares in Camurus, corresponding to approximately 54 percent of the shares and votes in the Company. 

No price stabilization activities have been carried out since the listing, and due to the Company’s share price performance, the Joint Global Coordinators have decided to end the stabilization period.
