EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Form 6-K is furnished by Auris Medical NewCo Holding AG (“Auris NewCo”) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as notice that Auris NewCo is the successor issuer to Auris Medical Holding AG (“Old Auris”) under Rule 12g-3(a) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that Auris NewCo's common shares, par value CHF 0.02 per share, are deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

On March 13, 2018, Old Auris merged with and into Auris NewCo (the “Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement dated as of February 9, 2018, between Old Auris and Auris NewCo (the “Merger Agreement”). With the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Old Auris ceased, and Auris NewCo continued as the surviving company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as part of the consummation of the Merger, Auris NewCo assumed the name Auris Medical Holding AG. As a result, future filings with the SEC will be made under the name Auris Medical Holding AG.
