TURKU, FINLAND / BOSTON, MA - Faron Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (AIM: FARN, First North: FARON), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pursuing a CLEVER approach to reprogramming myeloid cells to activate anti-tumor immunity in hematological and solid tumor microenvironments, today announces that it has issued to its lender IPF Fund II SCA, SICAV-FIAR ("IPF") 333,333 warrants ("Warrants") in accordance with the announcement released on 30 April 2024 in relation to a waiver extension. The strike price is 1.50 euros for these Warrants and it will be adjusted to any lower subsequent subscription price of shares in any future share issue.
