Solvonis Therapeutics plc
("Solvonis" or the "Company")
AGM statement and strategic update
Solvonis Therapeutics plc (LSE: SVNS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company developing novel medicines for addiction and mental health disorders,
announces that all resolutions proposed at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
held earlier today were duly passed. A summary of the resolutions is provided
at the end of this announcement.
This year's AGM marks a significant milestone in the Company's growth
trajectory. Following the successful completion of the acquisition of Awakn
Life Sciences on 28 May 2025, Solvonis has rapidly established itself as a
leading European innovator in the development of precision neuropsychiatric
therapeutics.
The combined company now benefits from a high-quality pipeline of preclinical
and clinical-stage assets targeting alcohol use disorder, post-traumatic
stress disorder, and other complex neuropsychiatric conditions. These
programmes, including lead candidate SVN-001, are underpinned by translational
science, real-world evidence, and a regulatory strategy aligned with expedited
pathways in key jurisdictions.
Integration activities are progressing in line with plan, with a focus on
operational efficiency, disciplined capital deployment, and preparing lead
programmes for Phase 3 readiness and partnering opportunities. Solvonis
continues to advance a virtual biotech model, supported by a lean team and an
expanding network of expert collaborators and CROs.
Anthony Tennyson, CEO of Solvonis Therapeutics, commented: "Today's AGM
reflects strong shareholder support for our vision and execution. With the
acquisition of Awakn now complete, we are strategically positioned to lead in
transforming the treatment landscape for substance use and treatment-resistant
mental health disorders across Europe and beyond. We are focused on delivering
value through rigorous development, targeted commercial strategy, and
partnerships that extend our reach and impact."
The Board remains committed to building a capital-efficient, data-driven, and
licensing-led business capable of delivering meaningful therapeutic advances
and long-term value creation.
Further updates on programme progress and strategic initiatives will be
provided in due course.
