Inion Shares Begin Trading on London's Main Market

Tampere, Finland and London (ots/PRNewswire)

Inion, a rapidly
growing company focused on the development of novel biodegradable
medical implants, is very pleased to announce that its ordinary
shares have been admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing
Authority and will begin unconditional trading today on London's Main
Market under the symbol IIN.L.
The Company's listing in London takes place in connection with its
successful initial public offering, which raised net proceeds of
approximately GBP30 million for Inion and was more than six times
oversubscribed at the offer price of 130 pence, valuing the company
at GBP90 million post-IPO.
Auvo Kaikkonen, CEO of Inion, commented, "We are delighted that
our IPO has been such a success and very proud to be the first
Finnish company to IPO on London's main market. The interest the
Company has had from investors during the IPO marketing process has
greatly encouraged us as we begin life as a UK-listed company. We
have grown rapidly since our incorporation in 2000 and believe that
our biodegradable implants and technology, both existing and in
development, offer clear benefits to patients and surgeons over
existing metal products in many surgical areas."
Nomura International acted as bookrunning lead manager and sponsor
for the placing and the listing. Williams de Broë Plc acted as
co-lead manager.
