The dual listing was possible without many of the primary listing procedures, seeing a widening of investor reach with minimal cost. There is no associated capital raising due to the Company’s strong existing financial position and sees no issuance of new securities due to the Company being listed and market-makable via the ASX.
Dr. John Prendergast, Chairman of Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd said, “Dual-listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is a wonderful new chapter in our global strategy. As the third largest stock exchange in the world, it sees the connection of EU biotech and overseas capital with the Company’s new classes of synthetic anti-Infectives development program.”
Mr. Stefan Müller, CEO of DGWA, said, “DGWA are thrilled to be working with Recce in Europe. Investor interest in quality biotechnology companies is significant and increasing with the global anti-infective market expected to grow at a compound rate of over 30% to 2030 and anticipate this German listing will provide EU investors an opportunity to participate in that growth. We are confident Recce will be warmly welcomed among the European investment community and look forward to supporting their activity in the region over the time ahead.”
