Formycon AG and its licensing partner Bioeq announce today, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has requested additional data as part of the review process of the BLA for the Lucentis® biosimilar candidate FYB201, submitted by Bioeq in December 2019.

Bioeq IP AG, the exclusive owner of the global commercialization rights of Formycon’s FYB201 has signed a license and development agreement with Coherus BioSciences, Inc. The US Biosimilar-specialist, headquartered in California, will exclusively market and distribute Formycon's biosimilar candidate to Lucentis® (FYB201) in the United States of America (US).

With the agreement dated June 26, 2019, Wendeln & Cie. KG, an asset management company of Mr. Peter Wendeln (anchor shareholder and long-standing member of the Supervisory Board of Formycon AG), acquired all rights from the certificate of subscription as well as the 577,397 shares in Formycon AG from the cash capital increase.

As of today, totaling EUR 5,000,000.00, have been paid to the company’s capital increase account. The signatory's debt contribution amounting to EUR 12,264,170.30 is therefore still outstanding. The shares have so far not been delivered due to the as yet unsettled payment.

Strategic investor M&H Equity AG subscribes for a cash capital increase of € 17,264,170.30 million in the context of a private placement with an issue price of 29.90 EUR per share. The funds acquired from the capital increase will be used primarily to develop the company’s own biosimilar products, particularly FYB205.

According to an interim result, the primary endpoint has been achieved in the COLUMBUS-AMD phase III trial, which is intended to demonstrate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of FYB201 and the reference medicinal product Lucentis® in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Formycon and Aristo Pharma GmbH, a company of the Struengmann-Group, have formed a joint company for the continued development of FYB202, Formycon's biosimilar candidate for Stelara® (ustekinumab).

Formycon plans to enter into a co-investment arrangement for its biosimilar candidate FYB202 and aims for a participation of up to 30% in worldwide marketing proceeds.
