Orexo began trading today on OTCQX International, a segment of
the OTCQX marketplace reserved for high-quality non-U.S. companies
that are listed on a qualified international exchange, undergo
management reviews and provide their home country disclosure to
U.S. investors. U.S. investors can find current financial
disclosures and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on

"We are pleased Orexo has chosen to join the OTCQX marketplace,"
said R. Cromwell Coulson, President
and CEO of OTC Markets Group. "OTCQX provides qualifying
issuers the ability to distinguish themselves in the U.S. market
and increase their visibility with traders, investors, analysts and
the media through high-quality disclosure, transparent trading and
ease of access to company information. We look forward to
supporting Orexo and providing a robust public market for its
depositary receipts."
"Given our increased presence in the U.S., following the launch
of Zubsolv®, I am very pleased that our ADRs are now trading on the
OTCQX marketplace. OTCQX International provides Orexo the
opportunity to create a better informed and more efficient
marketplace for U.S.-based investors. Joining OTCQX will
complement our presence on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Exchange, while
facilitating and enhancing global trading in Orexo's shares," said
