About Diamyd Medical
Diamyd Medical is dedicated to finding a cure for autoimmune diabetes through
pharmaceutical development and investments in stem cell and medical technology.

Diamyd Medical develops the diabetes vaccine Diamyd®, an Antigen Based Therapy
(ABT) based on the exclusively licensed GAD-molecule. The Company’s licensed
technologies for GABA and Gliadin have also potential to become key pieces of
the puzzle of a future solution to prevent, treat or cure autoimmune diabetes,
and also certain inflammatory diseases. At this time six clinical studies are
ongoing with Diamyd®. Diamyd Medical is with its holdings of 45% one of the
major shareholders in the stem cell company Cellaviva AB. Stem cells can be
expected to be used in Personalized Regenerative Medicine (PRM), for example for
restoration of beta cell mass in diabetes patients where the autoimmune
component of the disease has been arrested. Diamyd Medical also has holdings in
the medtech company Companion Medical, Inc., San Diego, USA and in the gene
therapy company Periphagen, Inc., Pittsburgh, USA.

Diamyd Medical’s B-share is traded on Nasdaq Stockholm First North under the
ticker DMYD B. Remium Nordic AB is the Company’s Certified Adviser.
