Bluefish's new share issue heavily over-subscribed

25 March 2007

Swedish company Bluefish, which licenses, manufactures and sells generic pharmaceuticals, has closed a successful funding round of 25.0 million Swedish kronor ($3.5 million). The share issue attracted great interest and was heavily over-subscribed, says the company, noting that some of the new investors include SEB Generic Pharma Fund, Catella Fonder, Mangold Fonder, BP Fonder, Carl Palmstierna and Coeli Fonder.

"Now we can move up another gear," says Bluefish chief executive Karl Karlsson.

"The company is developing as planned and we aim now to further broaden our product portfolio. Amongst the new investors is the SEB Generic Pharma Fund. We believe that generic drugs form one of the most interesting parts of the global pharmaceutical industry. It is also growing faster than big pharmas," says Meelis Angerma, fund manager at SEB Generic Pharma Fund.
