Dette er en kopi av mail fra Hulten på Nordnet. Har sendt stort sett de samme spørsmålene selv, men har ikke fått svar. Det jeg legger spesielt merke til i svaret er
«We strongly encourage you to attend that webcast as we will provide information and new data to address your questions»
————————————————————————
Hi,
I follow Circio closely and have a few questions I hope you can address, either during the planned R&D webcast or via email.
- Board authorisation and use of capital (EGM 25 August)
The Board is requesting a renewed authorisation to increase the share capital by up to 20%. What is the primary rationale for requesting this authorisation now, given that the company has already raised approximately NOK 620 million and has runway into 2030?
During the warrant period, Erik commented that excess capital above NOK 300 million could be used to acquire complementary delivery or vector technology. Is the new authorisation intended for such strategic opportunities?
- CNS study (top-5 pharma)
Could you provide a status update on the in vivo part of the collaboration?
When do you expect the first results?
What are the key success criteria for the study to progress into licensing discussions?
- Pipeline, data and further development of circVec
Which disease model data (heart, eye or CNS) are you prioritising in H2 2026?
Have you observed a clear difference between circVec 3.2 and 4.0 in the latest in vivo experiments?
You have previously indicated that further optimisations could lead to a new generation (e.g. circVec 5.0). Are you actively working on the next generation of the platform, and when might we expect data or an update on this?
How does the current IP situation around circVec look, particularly with the recent patent filings? How important is further strengthening of the patent portfolio for future licensing or acquisition discussions?
- Strategy going forward
With a solid capital position and both Dinah Sah (new) and Robert Burns (from deputy to ordinary board member) joining the Board – how do you balance building your own clinical pipeline versus prioritising additional partnerships and potential acquisition of delivery technology?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks for your question, we appreciate the interest in Circio.
You are not the only person having such questions and thus we will provide an update in our H1 and R&D update on September 1. We strongly encourage you to attend that webcast as we will provide information and new data to address your questions.
On your first questions, as it related to the EGM prior to the webcast, this request is standard in our AGM. As the share capital has changed since the last EGM, it seemed prudent to renew that authorization based on the new share capital. This allows management to react to favorable market conditions or potentially strategic opportunities, but we are not requesting it with a specific transaction in mind.
Please attend our webcast in 2 weeks which will provide a comprehensive update on R&D, business development and finance.
Best regards,
