STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, June 30, 2025. Karolinska Development AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: KDEV) divests its remaining shares in the portfolio company OssDsign and thereby strengthens the investment company's liquidity. The divestments brings Karolinska Development a capital injection of approximately SEK 34.5 million.
Karolinska Development has been a long-term owner of OssDsign and was involved in the listing of the company on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm in 2019.
"We have been on a long journey with OssDsign and supported the company through several important stages. In recent periods, OssDsign has demonstrated strong value development, which is also reflected in the share price. We have decided to realize the profit in Karolinska Development's holdings and prioritize other investments where we see greater value creation potential, and a higher possible return on investment. The sale strengthens our financial position and increases our capacity to invest in other holdings," says Viktor Drvota, CEO Karolinska Development.
Following the divestment, Karolinska Development has no direct ownership in OssDsign, but an indirect ownership via KCIF Co-Investment Fund remains.
