Liestal, Switzerland, 24 May 2024: Curatis Holding AG (CURN.SW), previously Kinarus Therapeutics Holding AG (together with its subsidiaries “Curatis Group”, or the “Company”), a SIX Swiss Exchange listed specialty pharmaceutical and therapeutic drug development company focused on orphan and ultra-orphan indications today published its annual report for FY2023. The audited consolidated FY2023 financial statements and the audited statutory FY2023 financial statements of the Company, together the audited “FY2023 Financial Statements”, had already been published on 17 April 2024. Both, Kinarus Therapeutics Holding AG and its 100% subsidiary, Kinarus AG in Liquidation had filed for bankruptcy in October 2023, but on 5 February 2024, bankruptcy of Kinarus Therapeutics Holding AG was revoked by the competent courts of Basel-Stadt to pave the way for the  business combination of Kinarus Therapeutics Holding AG and Curatis AG, a Basel-Landschaft incorporated specialty medicine distribution and drug development company (the “Business Combination”), which was completed on 26 April 2024. Kinarus AG in Liquidation remains in liquidation. The 2023 Annual Report of Kinarus Group therefore does not provide a comprehensive and transparent picture on the effective situation of the Company today after the completion of the Business Combination of Kinarus Therapeutics Holding AG with Curatis AG.

Patrick Ramsauer holds a Masters degree in Finance from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Since spring 2023 he is a Partner at Yuma Capital, a boutique corporate finance & capital advisory firm, and has in this role amongst others supported Curatis in the recent business combination with Kinarus.
