“We would like to inform you that the acquisition has been completed on March 1,” Aurobindo Pharma said in a regulatory filing to the BSE recently.
According to the definitive agreements inked between the two companies, Acrotech Biopharma LLC, a subsidiary of Aurobindo, will pay an upfront purchase price of $160 million in cash plus up to $ 140 million on achieving regulatory and sales-based milestones for the seven products.
Acrotech will be acquiring the product portfolio on a debt free and cash free basis, Aurobindo Pharma Ltd said.
The acquisition will help Hyderabad-based company to enter the branded oncology market in the US with a range of products which are well recognised in the segment, it added.
