DiaGenic Prepares Restructuring, Trade Sale or Assets Sale
OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: DiaGenic (OSE:DIAG) announces that its management and board of directors will seek to restructure the company, or divest all or selected company assets. As a consequence, the Board has decided to initiate a process to give notice of termination to the staff, but work to finalize ongoing projects and third party collaborations will continue during the coming three-month period.
On 6 September, DiaGenic announced that the board of directors had decided to intensify the efforts to obtain equity financing, or facilitate an asset or trade sale.
