Regulatory

Copenhagen, Denmark, 11 March 2024 – Curasight A/S ("Curasight" or the “Company" – TICKER: CURAS) announces today it will not proceed with the Rights Issue announced on February 13[th] 2024 (“Rights Issue”). The Board of Directors took the decision following a less than optimal participation in the Rights Issue by shareholders due to the current challenging market conditions and the fact that Curasight’s share price is trading below the offer price in the Rights Issue. The Company remains committed to accelerating its therapeutic strategy and is currently evaluating alternative financing options.

"We believe the right way to build value in Curasight is by accelerating our therapeutic strategy so that we develop our cutting-edge radiopharmaceutical platforms uTRACE® and uTREAT®, in parallel. We are disappointed that participation in the Rights Issue was less than optimal and we are currently evaluating alternative financing options in order to secure the Company a robust balance sheet to both continue our development activities and ensure we are in a strong position when negotiating potential partnerships.” said chairman of the Board of Directors Per Falholt.” Together with my colleagues on the board and the executive management team, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many shareholders who had decided to participate in the Rights Issue and thereby shown their support for our goal to provide improved diagnosis and more gentle treatments for cancer patients. We are committed to finding alternative financing for the Company in order to reward your confidence in our strategy and future growth.”
