Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy ( (GB:FARN) ) has provided an announcement.

Faron Pharmaceuticals said its Non-Executive Chairman, Tuomo Pätsi, has subscribed for 400,002 new ordinary shares at €0.50 each under the company’s ongoing rights issue launched on 10 March 2026. The insider participation underscores board-level support for the capital raise, which is expected to strengthen Faron’s financial position as it advances development of its lead cancer immunotherapy bexmarilimab.

Bexmarilimab is designed to bind the Clever-1 receptor on macrophages and shift them from an immunosuppressive to an immunostimulatory state, potentially enhancing patients’ responses to existing cancer treatments. The transaction disclosure, made under EU market abuse regulations, may reassure investors about management’s confidence in the company’s strategy and prospects in the competitive oncology immunotherapy space.
