Planegg-Martinsried, Germany – Formycon AG (WKN: A1EWVY ISIN: DE000A1EWVY8) will join the SDAX of Deutsche Börse, just a few weeks after its successful uplisting to the Prime Standard. As of December 23, 2024, Formycon will officially be part of the Small-Cap Index. The decision was announced yesterday during Deutsche Börse’s regular index review. With its inclusion in the SDAX, Formycon will now rank among the 70 largest publicly listed companies in Germany below the DAX and MDAX, based on the market capitalization of freely tradable shares (free float).

“Joining the SDAX is a significant milestone for Formycon and a remarkable event in our capital market history, which further strengthens our position and visibility in the capital market. Following our inclusion in the MSCI Germany Small Cap Index last year, being listed in the SDAX is yet another testament to the success of our capital market strategy and the outstanding work of the entire Formycon team,” said Enno Spillner, CFO of Formycon AG.

The inclusion in the SDAX supports Formycon’s growth strategy and ongoing evolution as a leading biosimilar developer. From its initial listing on the Open Market in 2010 to its uplisting to the Prime Standard in November 2024, the Company has consistently aligned itself with capital market requirements, laying the foundation for its exceptionally positive business development in recent years.

About Biosimilars:

Since their introduction in the 1980s, biopharmaceutical drugs have revolutionized the treatment of serious and chronic diseases. By 2032, many of these drugs will lose their patent protection – including 45 blockbusters with an estimated total annual global turnover of more than 200 billion US dollars. Biosimilars are successor products to biopharmaceutical drugs for which market exclusivity has expired. They are approved in highly regulated markets such as the EU, the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia in accordance with strict regulatory procedures. Biosimilars create competition and thus give more patients access to biopharmaceutical therapies. At the same time, they reduce costs for healthcare systems. Global sales of biosimilars currently amount to around 21 billion US dollars. Analysts assume that sales could rise to over 74 billion US dollars by 2030.
