These efforts aim to increase attractiveness for both existing and new shareholders. The company's financial calendar includes the Annual Report 2025 on April 28, 2026, the Annual Shareholders Meeting on June 26, 2026, and the Half-Year Report 2026 on September 24, 2026.

The move to the main segment signals Xlife Sciences' maturation as a publicly traded entity and reflects confidence in its business model of commercializing life sciences research.
