The move to Nasdaq: Successful Public Offering of Evotec SE

Public offering at Nasdaq: Evotec SE

Evotec is an industry-leading and internationally active drug discovery and development partner for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Evotec’s shares were previously traded in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and included in the MDAX and TecDAX indices.

The U.S. public offering (dual listing) took place by way of a capital increase from authorized capital in the amount of 10,000,000 new shares, which were admitted to trading on Nasdaq in the form of 20,000,000 so-called American Depositary Shares (ADS). The underwriters also partially exercised the option granted to them to place up to 3,000,000 additional ADS (greenshoe).

The U.S. public offering reportedly raised total proceeds of approximately €500 million for Evotec, which will be used, among other things, to expand its biologics manufacturing capacity. In particular, the Nasdaq listing will enable Evotec to further increase its visibility in the world’s biggest pharmaceutical market.

This deal marks another successful US public offering for the FINLEX-Team, which has previously advised other top tier clients from the biotech and pharma industry.

The team advising Evotec includes Nathalie Wache (Financial Lines Expert), Florian Eckstein (Practice Lead IPOs and Capital Markets) and Sebastian Klapper (Founder & Managing Director) along with its US co-broker team of Woodruff Sawyer from San Francisco.
