The Annual Report can be downloaded on the company's website, www.orexo.com, and a PDF is attached to this press release.

"During 2021, we took several important steps in our work to build a broader and stronger Orexo. Our rescue medication for overdoses, OX124, developed according to plan and if approved a launch in the US is expected in late 2023. Despite the lack of viable reimbursement routes for digital therapies, we reached strategically important collaboration agreements with healthcare providers and distributors. At the end of the year, we stand on a much stronger operational foundation, well equipped to meet the increasing need for care from people who are suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders," said by Nikolaj Sørensen, President and CEO.

The Annual Report also includes the company's Sustainability Report, which outlines major steps taken to contribute to a more sustainable society.
