Hansa Biopharma

Van Lanschot Kempen acted as Joint Bookrunner in the upsized SEK 672 million capital increase by Hansa Biopharma

Transaction highlights

  • Hansa Biopharma, a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for patients with rare immunological conditions, successfully raised SEK 672 million in equity financing, upsized from c. SEK 565 million at launch
  • The transaction was launched on the back of topline Phase III data for the lead asset, imlifidase, in desensitization of highly sensitized patients ahead of kidney transplant which yielded an increase in Hansa Biopharma’s market capitalization of over 25% until transaction launch
