Pia will join SciBase as CEO on October 1st, 2023. As previously announced on May 15th, Simon Grant resigned from his position as CEO for personal reasons and will remain with the Company until the end of October to fully support the transition. 

Pia is an exceptionally well-suited candidate to implement SciBase's strategy in order to reach the company's full potential. The board is convinced that she will help in creating shareholder value.

Tord Lendau, Chairman of the Board at SciBase commented:" I am very pleased to welcome Pia Renaudin as our new CEO. She has an extensive track record of developing and growing businesses and a broad international experience. She has built up businesses from scratch to multi-million SEK sales in the United States, a key component of our growth strategy. We believe that Pia is the right CEO to execute our strategy and to bring SciBase to the next level." Furthermore, he added: "I would also like to take the opportunity and thank Simon Grant for his long-term dedication and for an excellent job done in positioning SciBase with the products and indications that will now take the company to the next phase. On behalf of the Board, we wish him personally all the best for his future endeavors."

Pia Renaudin comments her appointment, "I am thrilled to be joining SciBase at this transformative stage, following the positive reimbursement news. I am looking forward to lead and expand SciBase to become a successful commercial entity for the benefit of patients and all other stakeholders in my new role as CEO. I am convinced we have a very exciting future with great growth potential ahead of us".

Pia Renaudin has extensive experience in the global Life Science and MedTech industries. She has spend over 20 year in leading positions in companies such as Senzime AB, Gilead Sciences, Stryker and AstraZeneca. Pia joins SciBase from Senzime AB, a Swedish MedTech Company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm main market, where she held the position of CEO from 2019 to 2023. During her tenure she significantly grew the sales, for instance in Q1-23 sales in Senzime grew by  161% with the US constituting the majority of the sales and growing by 215%.

SciBase has made significant progress both in the US and EU (MDR) by navigating the challenging regulatory processes and market environments in these territories. In addition, it has reached profitability in Germany (proof-of-business) through growing sales mainly of test volumes. SciBase has also recently made significant progress with Medicare reimbursement and market penetration in the US and Nevisense remains the only point-of-care melanoma detection product available in the US. The foundation for further growth both in the US and globally has been laid.

SciBase has, under Simons leadership, built a foundation for growth by developing two dermatology products with great potential. Many important advancements have been made within the research, development, quality, regulatory, initial sales, and the reimbursement sides of the business. I believe we now have a solid foundation to stand on and, as Simon will remain with the company until October, it will give a smooth transition to the next phase of the company's future.

The foremost priorities for SciBase are to focus on further improving US reimbursement of our products, to cover a larger population and geographical part of the US, improving sales and usage of the sold products in both the US and in Germany, as well as continue lowering the production cost in our products to enable future sales outside of these territories.

We clearly have a chance to become the standard of care in dermatology. To achieve this, we will have to focus heavily on sales! The new CEO we recruit must have an excellent history and experience level with sales, understand how reimbursement works in the US, and be able to grow the company faster from where we now stand. The work to recruit a new CEO is ongoing even though we are approaching summer.

We have achieved a lot lately and by far the most important event this year has been the decision by two Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) to grant an increased fee schedule amount for the Nevisense test in the US. 

This is a major step for the company for several reasons:

Firstly, it means that the Nevisense test can now be reimbursed for Medicare patients in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, New Jersey, District of Columbia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and parts of Virginia. In total that means approximately 11M seniors out of 37M in the whole US in all areas will have access to the test, paid by Medicare.

We see this as a very important, positive decision for SciBase. Of course, it is also important for patients, given that seniors are the patient demographic with the highest rates of skin cancer.

Secondly, this decision will help us in our efforts to secure coverage in other Medicare regions and with private insurers. Establishing a Medicare fee schedule in the western US is our next focus region. Additionally, we have been working for about a year with four large national private payers to secure coverage and payment. The Medicare decision will help us with those and other, expanded coverage efforts.

Finally, the decision means that it now makes sense for SciBase to increase efforts to sale more aggressively in the US. We are in the process of employing further field staff to cover existing and new areas.

US sales are the clear focus for SciBase in the coming quarters, though it may take a quarter or two to see a significant impact on sales as the new employees come on-line. If everything works out well, we can expect exponential, rather than linear sales growth i.e., lower growth in the beginning and exponentially better as reimbursement coverage improves.

As you might know our strategy is to cooperate with large practice groups, and we recently announced the third large group to implement Nevisense - The Schweiger Dermatology Group, based in the North-East US. Schweiger has started by installing systems with two clinics in New Jersey. There are advanced discussions underway with an additional group. As we secure broader insurance coverage, it will become easier to get these practice groups up and running. Now more than 10% of the target population have paid access to our test, and we expect real sales growth as we approach 50%.

Germany

Germany is now our proof of business and goes from strength to strength. We continue to see very good levels of organic growth in electrode usage rates, new system sales and sales overall. We are selling about twice as many new systems compared to last year, which in turn will drive future electrode sales. We are approaching 400 systems installed and are there are nearly 1,000 Nevisense tests performed each week. A reasonable reimbursement level and our expanded indication (Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer) are key drivers for the growth.  This again illustrates the importance of reimbursement in driving sales, and we know from our experience in Germany that as we secure coverage in the US, sales will come.

Skin Barrier Function

We will get back to you on this after the summer, but it is developing swiftly and in the right direction.

So, I would like to end by saying that we now have 1. Proof of Principle, i.e., the product/ technology works. We also have 2. Proof of Business, i.e., customers like the product, re-order and Germany is now profitable and cash positive.

Next step is to show we have 3. Proof of Scalability i.e., we can grow sales rapidly with lower cost of goods with a particular focus on the US.

Happy summer

The Board has initiated the process to recruit a new CEO and will provide an update in due course. Tord Lendau, chairman of the board of SciBase, will take over certain operational parts of the role of CEO during the transition period as Simon Grant will gradually reduce his involvement. As chairman of the board, Tord is responsible for driving the process of finding a new CEO and will work to ensure a smooth transition.

"We thank Simon for his efforts as Managing Director at SciBase. During his nine years as CEO, SciBase has transitioned from being a research-oriented company to a commercial stage company with products approved and marketed in the US, Europe and Australia. Obtaining the PMA for Nevisense in the US in 2017 and being able to subsequently secure Medicare reimbursement earlier this year, was the culmination of Simon's efforts to bring the company's technologies to the market and to the benefit of patients worldwide. We wish Simon all the best in his future endeavors and it is positive that he will remain available to assist the board even after ending his role as CEO. I will step into an operational role and support the CEO to manage the transition as smoothly as possible. While it is disappointing to see Simon leave, we can also see this as an opportunity to optimize the organization as we leverage our platform to further accelerate our growth, especially in the US", says Tord Lendau Chairman of the Board at SciBase.

The Company has made significant progress in navigating challenging regulatory processes and market environments and has reached profitability in Germany through growing sales of Nevisense and electrodes.  SciBase has also recently made significant progress with Medicare reimbursement and market penetration in the US and Nevisense remains the only melanoma detection product available in the US.

"We are very pleased with the new fee schedules and more importantly, the levels will be seen as appropriate by clinicians to support the expanded use of the Nevisense test for early melanoma detection at point of care. For SciBase this is a critical decision that paves the way for further US expansion - both within the two covered regions, but also into MACs that cover other parts of the US.

We are happy to know clinicians have found Nevisense clinically valuable and useful in the management of patients. For Medicare it can also result in savings due to earlier and more accurate melanoma detection. This has been a challenging process that has taken longer than anticipated and I applaud the patience of our users.  The decisions mean that Medicare patients in these regions will now have better access to the latest technology and improved accuracy when their atypical lesions are being evaluated for suspicion of melanoma," said Simon Grant, Chief Executive Officer of SciBase.

A guarantee commission will be paid for the issue guarantees, of 11 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash consideration, or alternatively 13 percent of the guaranteed amount in the form of newly issued shares in the Company. The subscription price for shares that are issued as guarantee commission will amount to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the subscription period for the Rights Issue (i.e. during the period 7 March - 21 March 2023), however not lower than the subscription price in the Rights Issue. Thus, the subscription price for any shares issued as guarantee commission will amount to SEK 1,55 per share. In the event that guarantors choose to receive guarantee commission in the form of newly issued shares, this will be announced by the Company through a separate press release.
