(Berlin, Germany): – As one of the leading European vertically-integrated companies developing and manufacturing cannabis based medicines, Eurox Group, based in Hesse, Germany, has successfully fundraised €4,4 Million from new and existing investors at an approximate 62% premium to its July 2021 fundraise. €2 million has been subscribed by a new institutional investor, Iberis Bluetech Fund, a fund managed by Iberis Capital (“Iberis”), a leading private equity manager in Portugal with over €250 million of assets under management. Iberis’ investment is by way of a secured convertible loan note (‘CLN’) and marks its first investment into the medical cannabis sector. The addition of Iberis as an institutional investor emphasizes the critical role that Portugal plays in Eurox’ business strategy as well as its commitment to pharmaceutical development.

Bernhard Babel, Co-CEO of EUROX, commented: „We are delighted to have achieved this milestone and to welcome Iberis Capital to our circle of investors. This will enable us to intensify our product development pathway and to guarantee patients with unmet medical need the highest European quality standards along the entire value chain. We at Eurox look forward to completing our Portuguese facility and engaging with the innovative research community there to expand our product portfolio of independently tested and regulator-approved cannabis-based medicines.”

In August of 2021 Eurox began distribution of the first Made in Germany standardised cannabis extracts and APIs in the German market. In the short time since launch, investor confidence in Eurox has grown as the company successively expands its sales and distribution channels to achieve a solid market position while maintaining a clear focus on innovation and product development and delivering cost efficiency. We expect to see revenues increase and the development pipeline grow.

Luís Quaresma, Partner at Iberis Capital commented: “It is a pleasure to support Eurox in the development of research & development capacity at their Portuguese operation. This includes exciting new areas such as plant genetics research, product extraction processes and molecular and biological applications. We look forward to participating in the project of establishing Eurox as a European leader in cannabis-based medicines.”
