"I also note that all warrant holders in the management team subscribed for shares according to their ability in the warrant program, which reflects everyone’s commitment to the future growth of Calliditas."

If all shares within the framework of the warrant program 2018/2022 are subscribed for, Calliditas will receive SEK 63.6 million in cash.
