Key developments during the quarter included:
- On July 7th, ExpreS2ion announced that it had entered into an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) agreement with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to gain access to Computerome 2.0, one of Denmark's most advanced high-performance computing (HPC) platforms for secure biomedical data processing.
- On July 18th, ExpreS2ion acknowledged the announcement by the Global Health Innovative Technology Fund of a new international vaccine development project supported by JPY 800 million (approx. EUR 4.6 million) in funding. The project will develop a novel blood-stage malaria vaccine candidate using the virus-like particle (VLP) platform of AdaptVac ApS, in which ExpreS2ion holds a 34% ownership stake.
- On August 21st, ExpreS2ion announced its half-year and second quarter 2025 results.
- On September 4th, ExpreS2ion reported the first immunogenicity results from its ongoing Phase I clinical trial evaluating ES2B-C001, a novel HER2-targeted therapeutic breast cancer vaccine. The data, derived from the first patient enrolled in the trial, indicate that the vaccine is triggering a significant immune response.
- On September 15th, ExpreS2ion announced that it had entered into top guarantee commitments regarding the exercise of warrants of series TO 11 (the "Warrant Programme") (the "Top Guarantee Commitments"). The Top Guarantee Commitments amounted to SEK 7.2 million, corresponding to the top approximately 61 per cent of the Warrant Programme, and was provided by a consortium of investors who have previously supported ExpreS2ion and who remain committed to the Company's strategy and future development. In addition, the Company received subscription commitments from John Moll and all members of the Company's Board of Directors and management with holdings of TO 11, individually committing to subscribing for all of their respective TO 11, amounting in total to approximately SEK 220 thousand, corresponding to approximately 2 per cent of the Warrant Programme.
After the reporting period, subsequent events of note were:
- On October 6th, ExpreS2ion announced the outcome of the exercise of warrants of series TO 11. In total, 28,522,440 warrants of series TO 11 were exercised, corresponding to approximately 88.5 percent of the total number of outstanding warrants. ExpreS2ion received approximately SEK 10.4 million before issue costs. Guarantee commitments of 92,480 shares were thus utilised. The Board of Directors therefore resolved on a directed issue of 92,480 new shares to the guarantors. Through the exercise of the warrants of series TO 11 and the Directed Issue, the Company received approximately SEK 11.8 million before transaction costs. Furthermore, the Board of Directors resolved on a set-off issue of 66,346 new shares to the Guarantors to pay the guarantee compensation.
- On October 8th, ExpreS2ion announced that the international VICI-Disease consortium selected its lead antigen for the Nipah virus (NiV) vaccine project. The chosen antigen, derived from the Nipah virus G protein and coupled to a virus-like particle (VLP), was recently finalized as the vaccine candidate. This milestone marked the transition from discovery to pre-clinical development, moving the program closer to initiating its first-in-human trial.
- On November 10th, ExpreS2ion announced continued clinical progress across several University of Oxford malaria vaccine programs, which apply the ExpreS2 platform. The advancement of these studies continues to support evidence of the platform's reliability in complex vaccine development and may support future licensing opportunities, while contributing to the global effort to reduce malaria transmission.
- On November 12th, ExpreS2ion announced the execution of a definitive licensing agreement with Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. for two novel blood-stage malaria vaccines, RH5.1 and R78C. The agreement secures SII's rights to use ExpreS2ion's proprietary production platform, ExpreS2, to further develop, manufacture, and commercialise RH5.1 and R78C. Under the terms, ExpreS2ion is entitled to upfront and milestone payments, aggregated amounting to low single-digit EUR, as well as royalties ranging from below 1% to mid-single digit percentages on future net sales. The collaboration strengthens the commitment of both parties to accelerate access to an innovative malaria vaccine with potential to significantly reduce disease burden worldwide.
