Executive Summary
In the biggest life science initial public offering on a European exchange since November 2014, Nordic Nanovector grossed NOK 500m ($62.3m) from its IPO on the Oslo stock exchange on 23 March 2015. The company raised 20% more than it had originally planned, allowing it now to reach comfortably beyond the first regulatory submission for its lead product Betalutin (177Lu-tetulomab) in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The IPO also potentially breathes new life into an old blood cancer target, CD37.
