Breakthrough on new focus market and extensive international interest
The major highlight of the second quarter of the year was the first order from Switzerland after the Company decided to make the country a new focus market. Work also continued during the quarter to introduce Ozilia at different types of investor congresses throughout Europe.

Another highlight was the decision from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that it will grant another patent application from the Company. This means the Company can add a fourth US patent to its growing patent family.

  • Switzerland new focus market, first order received
  • The USPTO will approve another patent application
  • Strong interest in Ozilia at international investor conferences
  • Ozilia presented to national specialist associations from Germany, Switzerland & Austria

Switzerland new focus market, first order received
In mid-June, Chordate added Switzerland to its focus markets for the Ozilia treatment and signed an agreement with Neurolite AG to be the Company's distributor and regulatory representative in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. At the end of June a first order was received with a value of approximately SEK 370,000.

We have been noting considerable interest in Ozilia in Switzerland for some time, and we have been engaged in discussions with a number of interested parties. This, combined with Switzerland’s manageable decision-making processes, which have relatively short paths to remuneration codes for insurance payments, makes Switzerland a very suitable focus market for the Company.

The USPTO will approve another patent application
At the beginning of May, the USPTO issued a decision that it intends to approve our patent application US 17/942,912 from 2022. The patent application is related to treatment of headache with a focus on protecting the Company’s product Ozilia Migraine. The approved application means that a fourth US patent is added to the growing patent family the Company has been building since 2011 to target headache treatment.

The Company thus currently has 79 patents distributed between 32 countries and 9 patent families related to different aspects of the Company's treatment techniques. The intellectual property rights defense for the Company’s technology as support for continued business development is an important part of what we consider to be the Company’s core values.

Strong interest in Ozilia at international investor conferences
During the quarter, we introduced Ozilia at investor congresses in Oslo, London, Basel and Lund, where we saw strong interest in the technology and came home with a number of strong leads.

Given the order we received from Switzerland, we now have a first concrete result that can be directly traced to our marketing activities. The plan is to continue to work to introduce Ozilia in our focus markets during the rest of the year.

Ozilia presented to national specialist associations from Germany, Switzerland & Austria
In April, we also participated at the headache conference Dreiländertagung Kopfschmerz in Switzerland, which was arranged jointly by specialist associations in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. This presented us with an excellent opportunity to present Ozilia to a large number of migraine and headache specialists from three significant European markets at one location.

In addition to increasing awareness for Ozilia among potential investors and buyers of the Company, it is important that we continue to develop the profession as well. Interest in neuromodulation as a treatment technique among specialists and neurologists is growing, and in this area Ozilia is a unique alternative that an increasing number of migraine care providers are considering.

Focus during the rest of 2024

  • Development of focus markets
  • Generate attention in industry and investor circles
  • The studies PM009 and PM010
  • Ongoing product registrations

Chordate Medical announces timetable for consolidation of shares

At the annual general meeting in Chordate Medical Holding AB (publ) (“Chordate” or the "Company") held on 15 May 2024, it was resolved to implement a consolidation of shares 1:500, meaning that five hundred (500) shares are combined into one (1) new share. The annual general meeting authorised the board of directors to determine the record date for the consolidation. The board of directors have, with support of the authorisation from the annual general meeting, decided that the record date shall be 30 August 2024.

The last day of trading in the Company's shares before the consolidation is 28 August 2024 and the first day of trading in the Company's shares after the consolidation is 29 August 2024. The Company's share price will thus reflect the effect of the consolidation from 29 August 2024. The consolidation will be carried out automatically by Euroclear Sweden AB, and shareholders do not need to take any measures.
 
Through the consolidation, the total number of shares in the Company will decrease from 490,111,500 to 980,223.
 
As a result of the consolidation, the Company's share will from 29 August 2024 change ISIN code. The new ISIN code for the Company's share is SE0022726139.
 
The shareholders in the Company will automatically receive a new, lower, number of shares in proportion to their shareholdings at the record date. Those shareholders whose shareholding, on the record date, is not evenly divisible by five hundred (500) will receive shares free of charge for their shareholding to be evenly divisible by five hundred (500). The distribution of shares takes place through Euroclear Sweden AB without additional measures needed to be taken by shareholders.

Chordate Medical receives first order from Switzerland worth approximately KSEK 370

Chordate Medical's regulatory partner and distributor in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Neurolite AG, has made a first order for Ozilia products with an order value of approximately KSEK 370. In connection with the order, Neurolite also announced that the registration of Neurolite as the regulatory representative for Chordate is now complete.

“The registration means that Neurolite can now freely sell Ozilia Migraine in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and it is of course pleasing that they immediately secured a first order. As I have said before, we see interesting potential for Ozilia in Switzerland and this rapid process leading to a first order is proof of that”, says Anders Weilandt, CEO of Chordate.

Chordate added Switzerland as a new focus market for the Ozilia treatment, and signed an agreement with Neurolite AG as distributor and regulatory representative in Switzerland and Liechtenstein earlier in June.

Chordate Enters New Partnership Agreement with Neurolite, Switzerland – Adjusts List of Focus Markets

A part of Chordate Medical’s strategy is to demonstrate proof-of-concept in a number of selected focus markets. The company is now adding Switzerland as a new focus market for the Ozilia treatment and has signed an agreement with Neurolite AG as distributor and regulatory representative in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. At the same time, efforts in the UK are being phased out.

“There is significant interest in Ozilia in the Swiss market, which we have observed during several of the congresses we’ve attended. Currently, we are in discussions with several strong leads and interested parties, and we believe that a number of these can result in installations in the near future. Therefore, it is natural that Switzerland becomes one of the company’s key markets,” says Anders Weilandt, Chordate CEO.

Chordate's focus markets stand out in two distinct ways. Firstly, they have a well-developed private healthcare sector with an insurance system that allows treatments like Ozilia to receive reimbursement codes. Secondly, the path to market approval for medical devices like Ozilia is favorable.

“Obtaining a reimbursement code that allow patient insurance to cover the cost of Ozilia treatment, which we have previously achieved in Saudi Arabia and partially in Italy, is a key factor for us. Similar to Germany, Switzerland is characterized by manageable decision-making processes and a relatively short path to reimbursement code for insurance payment.”

Chordate’s distributor and regulatory representative in Switzerland and Liechtenstein will be Neurolite AG, which specializes in delivering the latest medical technology solutions in neurology to hospitals and private clinics in the two countries.

“They have previously, with great success, introduced products in the same segment as our treatment, and they are assessed to have the right expertise and network to succeed with Ozilia as well.”

As Chordate adds Switzerland as a focus market, the UK is being removed from the list.

“The UK’s public healthcare system, NHS, has been shown to have excessively long decision-making processes and significant challenges in implementing new medical technology, which has affected our operations in the country."

Finwire Interview: CEO Anders Weilandt on Chordate Medical’s Q1 Report

Today, May 24, Chordate's CEO Anders Weilandt presented the company's Q1 report for 2024 on Finwire TV. He also answered questions from viewers and talked, among other things, about the reception of Ozilia in industrial and investor circles.

"Based on the results delivered by PM007, they can see, sometimes with quite a bit of surprise, how effective this is. We can show that we are as good as or better in terms of medical efficacy, we have as good or better response than all other alternatives, and we have no side effect profile to speak of. Then you can see that this must be taken seriously, especially since many people know that many patients prefer to avoid their heavy medications.”

"Industry evaluators see that this is extremely exciting, that's the impression we have. This also applies to the clinical side, where many doctors and clinics want to have other options in their toolbox to offer patients when they run out of alternatives. So, the reception is very positive, I would say."

Chordate Medical Holding AB (publ) Interim Report January-March 2024

Summary of the period January–March 2024

  • Net turnover was SEK 257,677 (120,421)
  • Cash flow from operating activities was SEK -5,908,058 (-8,479,928)
  • Profit/loss after financial items was SEK -6,019,201 (-7,113,134)
  • Profit/loss after tax was SEK -6,019,201 (-7,113,134)
  • Earnings per share were SEK -0.02 (-0.03)

Breakthrough in several markets and strengthened cash flow via an issue
During the first quarter of the year, much of our focus has been on introducing Ozilia Migraine in the industry and investor circles surrounding Life Science. During several investor congresses, we have connected with interesting contacts who see the potential in Ozilia.

We find another highlight during the first months of the year in Germany, where the first migraine patients started treatment with Ozilia. It is very satisfying that the first clinic with private paying patients has started on a central focus market.

  • First migraine patients treated in Germany
  • Strong interest at several investing congresses
  • New case report on Ozilia published: “Effective for both pain relief and reduced frequency of migraine attacks”
  • Patents approved in Europe and USA
  • Cash strengthened by approximately SEK 23 million before costs after the rights issue. Additional proceeds may come from warrant series T08

First migraine patients treated in Germany
At the beginning of January, Chordate trained clinic staff and assisted in the initiation of treatment for the first three patients in Germany. Chordate and the clinic signed an agreement in November 2023 for the installation of Chordate's drug-free alternative for preventive migraine treatment.

At the end of January, we also signed an agreement with a second clinic in Germany. The Company's ambition for the German market is to eventually also establish individual insurance compensation for the treatment. This is a key first step for being able to further scale up sales.

Strong interest at several investing congresses
We participated during the first quarter and thereafter in several international investing congresses that target Life Science, including in Switzerland, London and Oslo. As Ozilia reaches higher levels of acceptance and success on our focus markets, we are working to increase knowledge about the Company and Ozilia among potential investors and buyers of the Company. This is part of the Company's overarching strategy and thus something we will continue to work with even during the rest of the year.

New case report on Ozilia published: “Effective for both pain relief and reduced frequency of migraine attacks”
In March, an Italian case report on Ozilia by a team at Campus BioBedico in Rome was published in the prestigious scientific journal Cephalalgia Reports. The case report describes a 60-year-old male patient whose days with migraines decreased significantly, from 18 to 7 days per month, with a simultaneous significant reduction in pain level.

The article also indicates that pain relief and reduction of migraine days from the initial treatment period had a sustained effect. After about three months, the patient underwent another treatment period with Ozilia, resulting in a quicker and more significant response.

Patents approved in Europe and the USA
In February, the European Patent Office granted Chordate's patent application EP 20163024.1 from 2020. The patent application pertains to the Company's treatment technique Ozilia, especially targeting chronic migraine. After the end of the period, at the beginning of May, the United States Patent and Trademark Office announced its intention to grant Chordate's patent application US 17/942,912 from 2022.

The Company thus currently has 79 patents distributed between 32 countries and 9 patent families related to different aspects of the Company's treatment techniques. Each newly granted patent is positive since the Company’s intellectual property rights enable exclusivity on the market, which is a pillar of the ownership value the Company is building.

Strengthened cash after rights issue
The rights issue conducted in January 2024 was subscribed to approximately 55 percent and raised approximately SEK 23 million for the Company before issue costs, and in the event of full exercise of all warrants series TO 8 that are issued, Chordate Medical may receive additional proceeds in November 2024.

Focus in 2024

  • Proof-of-Concept in the focus markets
  • Generate attention in the industry and investor circles
  • Product registration in China, Saudi Arabia, UAE and USA
  • The studies PM009 and PM010
