Commenting on the closing of these financings, Mr. Pierre Laurin, Prometic’s President and Chief Executive Officer said: “Expanding our institutional investor base in the U.S. is an important objective of ours. This financing has provided us the opportunity to have renowned life sciences specialist funds invest in the Prometic story as we prepare for the commercial launch of plasminogen. We are also pleased to have again received support from SALP who have continued to demonstrate their commitment as a strategic, long-term investor in Prometic through the Private Placement.”
