Update: Japanese setback; focus on EU and US

Paion’s Japanese partner, Ono, will return remimazolam rights due to strategic reasons and considering issues with pharmacokinetic features. While this is clearly a setback, Paion does not expect this to affect the approval process in the lead European and US indications of general anaesthesia and procedural sedation. Paion has received indications of interest from parties interested in licensing remimazolam in Japan and the transfer process has started. We maintain our valuation at €170m.
