Important events during the quarter
  • During Q1 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic broke out and the consequences of the outbreak started to affect SciBase from mid-March. Sales in the company's key market Germany were affected and decreased by 10% in the quarter, though overall sales rose by 5%. There is a high risk that Covid-19 could lead to a significant financial impact on the Group. At this point, the effects are however very difficult to predict, and the situation is changing constantly.
  • The Board of Directors is constantly monitoring and assessing the situation around the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the company's business and decided on a fully guaranteed rights issue of units consisting of shares and warrants, to provide funds to increase US market penetration and develop new applications. The proposal was approved by an extraordinary general shareholders meeting on April 29[th]. The subscription price per unit is SEK 1.25 resulting in net proceeds of the raise of approximately MSEK 19.5 after issue costs.
  • A summons to an extraordinary general shareholders' meeting was published on March 26[th]. The EGM was held on April 29[th].
Important events after the end of the     period
  • At the EGM on April 29[th] the Board's proposal for a rights issue of units was approved.
  • SciBase received FDA approval for Nevisense 3.0.
  • SciBase entered into a partnership agreement with the Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery group (ADCS), the single largest dermatology network in the US with over 150 practices.
  • The annual report for 2019 was published on April 5[th].

About SciBase and Nevisense
SciBase AB is a Swedish medical technology company, headquartered in Stockholm that has developed and sells a unique point-of-care device for evaluation of skin disorders such as skin cancer and atopic dermatitis. Its first product, Nevisense, helps doctors to detect malignant melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Further development has led to Nevisense also being used as a tool to assess the skin barrier and inflammation. SciBase was founded by Stig Ollmar, Associate Professor at The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Nevisense is based on substantial research and has achieved excellent results in the largest clinical study ever conducted on the detection of malignant melanoma. Nevisense is CE marked in Europe, has TGA approval in Australia and an FDA approval (PMA) in the United States. Nevisense is based on a method called Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which uses the varying electrical properties of human tissue to categorize cellular structures and thereby detect malignancies and abnormalities. SciBase is listed on First North Growth Market ("SCIB"). Further information is available at www.scibase.com.
