Plesner has assisted Zealand Pharma A/S with a successful equity raise

On 27 January 2021, Zealand Pharma, a company listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen and the Nasdaq Global Select Market in New York, launched and completed a successful offering of new shares at a price of DKK 208 per new share, raising gross proceeds of DKK 749 million and welcoming strong new institutional investors.
