Information regarding the Transaction
As communicated in a separate press release, the Company has on 20 March 2025 entered into an agreement with Alvotech regarding the sale of the following assets (the "Assets"):
- The Company's R&D operation, including approximately 40 employees, lease agreements for the facility at Campus Solna, and all laboratory equipment.
- XB003 (Cimiza biosimilar candidate), including all related intellectual property.
Alvotech will acquire the Assets through a wholly owned subsidiary, Alvotech Sweden AB, reg. no. 559522-0673.
The agreement is conditional upon, inter alia, that the Company's shareholders approve the Transaction and that the Transaction receives necessary approvals in accordance with the Swedish Foreign Direct Investments Act (SFS 2023:560).
The total purchase price under the agreement amounts to approximately SEK 275 million.
