Northland Capital partners view: Today’s announcement brings Motif a step closer to US capital markets, where peers are valued at a significant premium to Motif. We believe that a NASDAQ listing would better align the company’s valuation to its closest peer, namely NASDAQ-listed Paratek (market capitalisation: $291m).

n A NASDAQ listing continues to be an option for Motif in order to be aligned with several peer companies. n The Company has also appointed as its auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), one of the top four multinational professional services firms in the world. n Considerable progress has also been made with plans to identify strategic partners who are interested in licensing its Phase III asset, iclaprim, outside the U.S. |
