Anika Issues Statement

BEDFORD, Mass., Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIK), a global joint preservation company in early intervention orthopedics, today issued the following statement in response to the letter by Caligan Partners LP:

Over the last six months, members of Anika’s Board of Directors and management have met with Caligan Partners eight times to better understand its views and discuss Anika’s strategy, which we are confident will drive significant growth and value creation.

Anika has made meaningful progress against our strategy to become a leader in joint preservation and restoration, one of the highest opportunity spaces in orthopedics. This strategy expands Anika’s market opportunity from $1 billion to more than $8 billion. At the same time, we continue to build on our leadership position in osteoarthritis pain management, which generates positive cash flows and supports, among other things, the investments we are making in new products across regenerative, sports medicine and joint solutions to capitalize on our opportunity in joint preservation.

Anika’s Board and management team are confident that the continued successful execution of our strategy will drive significant shareholder value. With a strong balance sheet, a robust foundation of clinical data, a comprehensive portfolio across the joint preservation continuum of care and a regular cadence of new product launches planned for 2023 and beyond, we believe Anika is uniquely positioned for meaningful growth and value creation in the years ahead. Our Board and management team will continue to act in the best interests of the Company and all of our shareholders.

Since June 1, 2022, Anika's stock price has increased by approximately 40% compared to the NASDAQ Composite Index, which decreased by approximately 2%.

The Company plans to issue its fourth quarter and year-end 2022 financial results after the close of the market on Monday, March 6, 2023 and hold its investor conference call on the same day, at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss its financial results and business highlights.
