Englewood Cliffs, NJ- February 8, 2018 – Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ First North: IMNP) a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of immunologic and inflammatory diseases (the “Company”) announced today that the Disciplinary Board of Nasdaq Stockholm has decided to delist the Company's shares. Trading of the Company's shares on Nasdaq First North will be discontinued on March 29, 2017. The delisting does not affect the Company’s trading status on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the United States.

 

The Nasdaq First North Disciplinary Board noted that the Company was not in compliance with certain of the regulations of First North Premier over a prolonged period. The Disciplinary Board acknowledged that the Company has recently taken measures to insure compliance. However, these measures are insufficient to rectify the numerous prior breaches of the Rule Book. Consequently, the Disciplinary Committee has decided to remove the Company’s shares from trading on Nasdaq Stockholm. The Company intends to investigate alternate arrangements to accommodate its shareholders who trade the Company’s stock on Nasdaq First North Stockholm.

 

About Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc.

 

Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of immunologic and inflammatory diseases. Immune’s lead program, bertilimumab, is a first-in-class, fully human monoclonal antibody that targets and lowers levels of eotaxin-1, a chemokine that plays a role in immune responses and attracts eosinophils to the site of inflammation. By neutralizing eotaxin-1, bertilimumab may prevent the migration of eosinophils and other cells, thus helping to relieve associated inflammatory conditions. Currently, Immune is conducting two phase 2 clinical trials to test bertilimumab in patients suffering from bullous pemphigoid and ulcerative colitis, respectively. Bertilimumab may have application in other diseases, including atopic dermatitis, immune and inflammatory hepatitis, and asthma.
