Jocelyn PINEAU, co-founder and CFO of VALBIOTIS, comments: "The first half of 2020 saw a number of milestones achieved. We signed a partnership with Nestlé Health Science to fund the completion of the development of TOTUM-63, our first product, through to commercialization and health claim submissions to the US and European authorities. New revenues resulting from this agreement combined with AMIRAL GESTION's entry into the capital and obtaining a PGE considerably strengthens our cash position and secures our financial situation. We would like to thank the public authorities and our banking partners, as well as all our institutional and individual shareholders.
