Synairgen PLC (AIM:SNG, OTC:SYGGF), a biotech company developing an experimental inhaled treatment for respiratory infections, says its shares will remain freely tradeable - even after its recent move to go private. The company, best known for its investigational drug SNG001, updated investors following a vote last week to delist from AIM and become a private limited company.
Synairgen PLC (AIM:SNG, OTC:SYGGF) is set to become the latest in a growing wave of smaller companies leaving London's AIM market after struggling to lock down fresh investment. The biotech firm, which has been developing an inhaled treatment for respiratory infections, confirmed plans to cancel its AIM listing and go private after failing to meet fundraising targets.
Synairgen PLC (AIM:SNG, OTC:SYGGF) chief executive Richard Marsden talked with Proactive about the company's recent fundraising efforts to support a phase II clinical trial. The study aims to test SNG001, a broad-spectrum inhaled antiviral, in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation due to respiratory viruses.
