The Consideration Shares are expected to be registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office during the month of June and will correspond to approximately 0.5 percent of the share capital and approximately 0.4 percent of the votes in CELLINK.

“By combining CELLINK’s and Nanoscribe’s revolutionary technologies, we can offer market-leading 2PP products for a wide range of customer segments. Nanoscribe’s technology empowers cutting edge science and drives industrial innovations in a wide variety of sectors such as bioprinting, microfluidics, micro-optics, micromechanics, biomedical engineering, and integrated photonics technologies. The life science industry is currently going through a very exciting transformation where many processes and technologies are being miniaturized to increase throughput and to reduce costs, where price of reagents is a major bottle neck for sequencing. One example is the sample preparation steps for single cell genomics applications. With Nanoscribe’s technology, we stay competitive in this transformation and this enables us to miniaturize devices for a wide range of applications, resulting in capabilities to further expand our offering in bioprinting and consumables across all business areas.” Erik Gatenholm, CEO, CELLINK.
