MOBERG PHARMA SECURES FINANCING TO FACILITATE PORTFOLIO EXPANSION


Stockholm, July 2, 2013. Based on the authorization from the 2013 Annual General
Meeting, the Board of Moberg Pharma AB (OMX: MOB)(“Moberg Pharma”, the “Company”
or the “Group”) has resolved to issue new shares with deviation from the
shareholders’ preferential rights to Bure Equity AB (publ) (“Bure”). The purpose
of the financing is to facilitate forthcoming additions to the Company´s product
portfolio.
Successful launches of NaloxÔ/Kerasal NailÔ in Europe and the US, growing sales
and a positive cash flow have resulted in a strengthened position for Moberg
Pharma. The Company is now approaching the next step in its growth strategy – to
expand its product portfolio for marketing primarily through its own OTC sales
channels in North America. The directed issue to the Swedish institutional
investor Bure brings approximately SEK 36 million, aimed at facilitating
acquisitions and licensing of marketed products, as well as pipeline assets.
The directed share issue is priced at current market price and means that
1,081,000 new shares will be issued in the Company, and that the Company's share
capital will increase by SEK 108,100, resulting in a dilution of approximately
9.1 percent of the capital and votes in the Company. After the share issue, Bure
will be the third largest shareholder in Moberg Pharma.

Peter Wolpert, CEO of Moberg Pharma, comments:
”I am very pleased to welcome Bure as a major shareholder and with their support
for our value creation strategy. The share issue enables us to further leverage
our well-established North American sales and marketing organization by
expanding our product portfolio. We see ample near term opportunities to make
attractive product and pipeline investments.”

Henrik Blomquist, CEO of Bure, comments:
“We view Moberg Pharma as an interesting investment opportunity within the
pharmaceutical sector. The Company has a pronounced commercial focus, a sound
approach to the inherent risk in drug development and a strong track record of
delivering on its promises.”

Information about the new share issue

  · The new issue of 1,081,000 shares has been decided upon July 1, 2013,
pursuant to the authorization received by the Board at the Annual General
Meeting on April 23, 2013.
  · The issue will be priced at SEK 33.54 per share, which corresponds to the
volume-weighted average price of the Moberg Pharma share during the past 30
trading days before the announcement. Closing price of the Moberg Pharma share
on Monday July 1, 2013 was SEK 32.30.

Background and motives
The directed issue of approximately SEK 36 million to the Swedish institutional
investor Bure provides financing for the next step in Moberg Pharma’s growth
strategy – acquisitions and licensing of products as well as pipeline assets,
with a primary focus on products for Moberg Pharma´s own sales channels in the
North American market.

The directed issue provides Moberg with a fast and efficient financing route for
near-term acquisition opportunities. The reasons for the deviation from the
shareholders’ pre-emptive rights are that Bure’s subscription of shares in the
Company is attractive when comparing to other financing alternatives in
combination with that Bure represents a long-term investor that expands the
Company´s institutional shareholder base.

Prospectus
The Company will publish a prospectus in connection with the admission to
trading of the shares issued in the new share issue. The complete prospectus
will be available on Moberg Pharma’s website at the end of July, 2013
(www.mobergpharma.se).
