Sciele completes Alliant buy for $12.5M less than original price

17 June 2007

Sciele Pharma has completed its acquisition of fellow USA-based Alliant Pharmaceuticals. Sciele will pay approximately $109.7 million in cash for Alliant, which includes around $14.0 million in indebtedness. The final purchase price is $12.5 million less than that originally negotiated due to the termination of the Lindane marketing deal between Alliant and Morton Grove Pharmaceuticals.

The terms of the Alliant purchase also include potential payments of up to $62.5 million dependent on certain profit and development targets for Alliant products. This is $7.5 million more than the previously announced $55.0 million.
