confirmation of the strong faith in Recipharm’s chances to grow and successfully
exploit the business opportunities that the market offers a first class CDMO in

years ago, Recipharm has grown up and developed into a large listed company with

company with the same commitment and dedication, now in a listed environment."

is exercised in full, the Principal Shareholders will remain the largest owners
