Rights issue
ExonHit Therapeutics, which is quoted on the Alternext market in Paris, has launched a €15.6 million rights issue to finance the acquisition of a diagnostics company and for ongoing operations.
“The new funding will allow us to take advantage of external opportunities for growth, particularly in the US”, said Loïc Maurel, President of Exonhit. “We also intend to grow our sales force to speed development of the market for our AclarusDx diagnostic blood test for Alzheimer’s disease.”
