Saniona (OMX: SANION), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare diseases, today announced that it has entered into a non-dilutive term loan agreement for SEK 87 million ($10 million)withFormue Nord Fokus A/S. Proceeds from the loan will be used to support Saniona’s clinical development programs and for general working capital purposes.

Rami Levin, President & Chief Executive Officer of Saniona, commented, “We just initiated a Phase 1 trial of SAN711, and we are preparing to initiate two Phase 2b trials with Tesomet in Prader-Willi syndrome and hypothalamic obesity, respectively. At the same time, we are already looking ahead and have identified ways to speed up the conduct of these trials and enable a smooth and quick transition to the next phase of clinical development. These initiatives will require additional capital; thus we secured this loan, which provides non-dilutive funding on competitive terms. The loan allows us to support these initiatives without impacting share capital.”

A 6% commitment fee will be paid to Formue Nord, resulting in SEK 81.78 million in net proceeds to the company. The loan will accrue interest at 1% on the gross amount of the loan per beginning 30-day period until the loan is repaid and settled. The loan matures in June 2023.

Rasmus Viggers, Chief Investment Officer and Partner at Formue Nord, commented, “We continue to see strong potential for value creation in Saniona’s strategy to advance innovative medicines for rare diseases. We are pleased to support this mission and we are confident in the company’s ability to deliver.”
