Significant events during the second quarter 2021

• Xbrane held a virtual capital markets day in May and announced its ambition of generating a positive operating cash flow monthly through the net income from Xlucane™ at the end of 2023/beginning of 2024 and to initiate one new development project per year.
• In June, top-line data was obtained from an interim read-out of the ongoing Phase III equivalence study Xplore with the Lucentis® biosimilar candidate Xlucane™. Xlucane™ reached the primary endpoint and demonstrated equivalent efficacy with Lucentis® in terms of change of BCVA (Best Corrected Visual Acuity) at the eighth week of treatment. The company then confirmed the plan to submit the marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) during Q3 2021 and to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Q4 2021 on the basis of the interim read-out.
• With the support of the authorization at the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2021, Xbrane announced and implemented a directed new issue of SEK 380m at a subscription price of SEK 135 per share, at the end of June. The shares were registered and payment received in July, so the effects in the balance sheet and cash flow will not be seen until the next interim report for July-September 2021.

Significant events after the period

• Xbrane Biopharma was officially certified as a Great Place to Work® by the Great Place to Work® Institute.
