Heidelberg Pharma AG plans to use the expected total gross proceeds from the capital increase to secure the further development and marketing of the proprietary ATAC technology (Antibody Targeted Amanitin Conjugates), in particular the clinical development of the proprietary ATAC candidate HDP-101 until mid-2021.
