Nasdaq Nordic: Nasdaq Stockholm welcomes SpectraCure to Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market

Stockholm, October 10, 2019 - Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) announces that the trading
in SpectraCure AB's shares (short name: SPEC) will commence today on the Nasdaq
First North Premier Growth Market in Stockholm. SpectraCure belongs to the
health care sector and was previously listed on Nasdaq First North Growth
Market. 

SpectraCure is focused on cancer treatment with medical devices containing
laser light sources and photo reactive drugs, called interstitial photodynamic
tumor treatment (PDT). The treatment methodology is suitable for internal solid
tumors of various kinds, including prostate and pancreas, but also in other
indications such as head and neck cancer. SpectraCure was founded in 2003 and
is headquartered in Lund, Sweden. 

"The fact that we are able to switch to the Premier segment is an important
strategic step in our desire to facilitate institutional and international
ownership of SpectraCure," said Masoud Khayyami, CEO of SepctraCure. "The
Premier segment is targeting companies that are preparing for a main market
listing, with higher disclosure and accounting standards than the regular
Nasdaq First North Growth Market rules. The rules on the Premier segment
corresponds very much to the rules of Nasdaq's regulated main market. This
suits our plans well." 

"We welcome SpectraCure to the Premier segment of Nasdaq First North Growth
Market," said Adam Kostyál, SVP and Head of European Listings, Nasdaq. "We
congratulate SpectraCure on its successful switch and look forward to
supporting the company on its continued growth journey."
