Sammanfattning

Analys

Bolaget söker nu alternativa lösningar, men osäkerhet kring transaktionens genomförande kvarstår. Trots detta kvarstår övertygelsen om att transaktionen skapar aktieägarvärde genom synergier.

Insikter

Qlife Holding AB ("Qlife" or "the Company") and Hipro Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

("Hipro") are working on the planned reverse takeover, as announced in press

releases on 5 June 2025 and 5 October 2025. Hipro is currently working on

obtaining the required shareholder approvals to be able to carry out the reverse

takeover. The companies' legal advisors in China have recommended a transaction

structure for the reverse takeover called a "Red Chip" structure, which means

that Qlife is to acquire Hipro through overseas entities.

Nasdaq Stockholm AB ("Nasdaq") has now informed that the Company will not be

approved for continued listing if the Company carries out the "Red Chip"

structure. The reason for this is that such structure does not meet Nasdaq's

requirements for listing at Nasdaq First North and that in order for Nasdaq to

approve it, they would likely need to consider certain changes to their rules

and processes.
