LUND, Sweden, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Alligator Bioscience AB ("Alligator" or the "Company") today announces that the Company, in order to enable further progress, will begin evaluating potential financing alternatives, which may include issuance of equity. Alligator's board has appointed financial advisors and the Company has received support from certain of the Company's largest shareholders for continued funding of the Company.
