SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER 

• In April, Idogen announced that NextCell Pharma AB had contacted the company’s Board of Directors regarding a possible merger. In May, Idogen reported that discussions between the companies had been abandoned.
• In June, Idogen announced that the company had successfully developed a new patentable tolerance-inducing method to replace zebularine in the development of the company’s tolerogenic cell therapy. The company has therefore written down the value of patents related to zebularine in an amount of MSEK 4.6.
• The estimate remains unchanged that our cash will last until the end of the third quarter of 2020.
• At the end of June, Idogen announced that CEO Lars Hedbys had resigned following five years as CEO of the company.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD 

• In January, Idogen announced that it is extending and broadening its preclinical development programme for tolerogenic cell therapy. This means the clinical trials for IDO 8 and IDO T may be delayed by six months and start in the second half of 2020 for IDO 8 and first half of 2021 for IDO T.
• In March, Idogen announced the decision to postpone plans to apply for the listing on Nasdaq First North. The company made the decision as it first wishes to conclude the evaluation of its new methods for production of Idogen’s tolerogenic cell therapy. 
• The change of CEO will postpone the transfer to Nasdaq First North, as there is a requirement that the company’s CEO must have been employed for at least three months. 
• Arctic Securities was chosen as Corporate Advisor (CA) ahead of the listing on First North. 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD 

• Anders Karlsson was appointed as the company’s new CEO as of 20 August.
• No other significant events occurred after the end of the period that affected the results or financial position.

Idogen (Spotlight Stock Market: IDOGEN) develops tolerogenic cell therapies to prevent the patient’s immune system from attacking biological agents, transplanted organs or the body’s own cells or tissue. Idogen’s most advanced product candidate IDO 8 is designed for patients with severe haemophilia A who have developed anti-drug antibodies against their critical treatment with coagulation factor VIII (factor VIII). The company´s second project IDO T is developed to prevent kidney transplant rejection. In a third project, IDO AID, Idogen focuses on the treatment of autoimmune diseases. The treatment is based on the patient"s own cells and is expected to have a favorable safety profile and long-lasting effect. The fact that a short treatment has the potential to yield a long-lasting effect is another great advantage. For more information, visit www.idogen.com
