Proposed dual listing expected to broaden access to US investors as buloxibutid advances toward its Phase 2b readout in IPF, with no concurrent financing or share offering planned
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN AND CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / Vicore Pharma Holding AB (Nasdaq Stockholm:VICO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company unlocking the potential of a novel class of drugs, angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor agonists, today announced that it has filed a Registration Statement on Form 20-F (Registration Statement) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with registration of Vicore Pharma as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Vicore Pharma has also submitted a listing application to The Nasdaq Stock Market in the United States (Nasdaq US).
The proposed dual listing would allow Vicore Pharma's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) to trade on Nasdaq US while the company's ordinary shares continue to trade on Nasdaq Stockholm. No financing or issue of new shares is planned concurrent with this dual listing.
"We believe this is the right moment to pursue a public listing in the United States," said Ahmed Mousa, CEO of Vicore Pharma. "With enrollment in the Phase 2b ASPIRE study complete and an expected mid-2027 readout approaching, we are entering the most consequential chapter in the company's history, and our ambition extends beyond IPF. We believe buloxibutid has the potential to address a range of pulmonary and fibrotic diseases. Continuing to build our US presence positions us to pursue that vision at scale. Given our strong cash position, there is no need for a financing concurrent with this US listing."
The Registration Statement is part of Vicore Pharma's proposed listing of ADRs on Nasdaq US. Any such listing can only occur if the Registration Statement becomes effective, which is subject to SEC review, and if Nasdaq US approves Vicore Pharma's listing application. The Registration Statement has been filed on a non-confidential basis and is publicly available via the SEC's EDGAR system at www.sec.gov.
