Crossject announces its eligibility for France’s PEA-PME investment scheme
- Enables French retail investors to buy securities under preferential tax conditions
Dijon, France Sept 26, 2024 -- Crossject (ISIN: FR0011716265; Euronext: ALCJ), a specialty pharma company developing medicines for emergency situations harnessing its award-winning needle-free auto-injector ZENEO®, today confirms its eligibility for PEA-PME, a French government investment scheme which enables retail investors to acquire a portfolio of European securities whilst benefiting from preferential tax conditions.
This framework aims to diversify funding resources available to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and create a new financing tool, thus channeling some savings into the real economy. Tax advantages offered by PEA-PME (Plan d’Épargne en Actions – Petites et Moyennes Entreprises or Share Savings Plan – Small and Mid-sized Businesses) are only available to French residents, even if investments are not limited to French companies.
For companies to be eligible for PEA-PME, their securities must be traded on a regulated market, they must have a market capitalization of less than €1 billion in the current or at least one of the four preceding years; have fewer than 5,000 employees; and an annual turnover not exceeding €1.5 billion, or a balance sheet not exceeding €2 billion.
