ASX Announcement

Doryx® is a delayed-release oral tablet formulation of doxycycline hyclate used as an adjunctive therapy for severe acne and as a treatment for certain bacterial infections. Actavis reported Doryx® net revenues of US$60.1 million in the twelve months ending 31 December 2014. Following this acquisition, Mayne Pharma expects the Doryx® product to contribute an average of US$2.7 million EBITDA[1] per month from July 2015.

Doryx® competes in the US oral antibiotic acne market. The addressable doxycycline market – representing the use of any doxycycline product by dermatologists in the treatment of acne - is over 2.7 million prescriptions annually. Doryx® currently holds a 10% share of the total addressable market including generics[2] .

Mayne Pharma’s CEO, Mr Scott Richards said, “The Doryx® acquisition transforms the current US business platform into a diversified and integrated pharmaceutical business with exciting growth platforms in generics, contract services and now, specialty brands. Mayne Pharma will now market and distribute the Doryx® product in addition to manufacturing it. We know the Doryx® product well and have been manufacturing different formulations of the product for the past 30 years. The Company continues to invest in the development of new and effective formulations of Doryx® and expects to bring new innovations to market over the coming years.”

“We are very attracted to the underlying fundamentals of the dermatology market and the acquisition of the Doryx® brand will enable us to accelerate the establishment of a specialty brands division and further diversify our portfolio. We believe acquiring the Doryx® brand is the most attractive option for optimising our doxycycline franchise. Furthermore we believe we can reinvigorate the Doryx® brand, improve market share and the contribution of this franchise to the Company through renewed leadership focus and on-going patient-centric innovation.”

Expanded leadership team supporting new US Specialty Brands Division

Mayne Pharma has secured a number of world-class industry leaders to drive the growth of the US Specialty Brands Division. Andy McClenaghan, previously leader of Warner Chilcott’s US Commercial Operations has joined the team. Whilst at Warner Chilcott, Andy was responsible for US$2 billion in sales, a 700 member sales team and key brands including Doryx® until its acquisition by Actavis in October 2013. Andy has more than 25 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry working across general management, marketing, sales, managed care, operations and regulatory affairs.

Anne Marie Carullo has joined the team as Senior Sales Director, Specialty Brands. Previously, Anne Marie was Sales Director in the Dermatology and Women’s Health Care divisions of Warner Chilcott. She has extensive experience in leading diverse sales teams, new product launches, recruitment and talent development and brand management.

Whilst at Warner Chilcott, both Andy and Anne Marie were integral in managing Doryx®, including the successful launch of the 200mg dose tablet in mid-2013.

In addition, Tom Cummings has been appointed as Vice President, Commercial Operations. Tom is a strategic marketing professional with over 20 years of pharmaceutical experience across brand development, commercial analytics, business development, sales management and operations. He previously worked at URL Pharma and Johnson & Johnson and has contributed to the success of many brands in the dermatology and pain field.

US generic products transactions

Mayne Pharma has also entered into agreements to acquire the BAC capsule ANDA and full ownership of the Methamphetamine tablet ANDA for combined consideration of up to US$15.7m. Methamphetamine tablets are indicated for the treatment of attention deficit disorder and BAC capsules are used to treat tension headaches (migraines).

Both products are currently sold by Mayne Pharma and had legacy profit share arrangements with third parties – which for BAC has been amended and for Methamphetamine has been terminated. The effect of these transactions is to increase the economic benefit that flows to Mayne Pharma giving the Company maximum control over these products and full residual rights to the profits generated.

The markets for these products are attractive with limited generic competition. The Methamphetamine market is valued at US$9m per annum and the BAC capsule market is valued at US$4.4m per annum for the dose strength in question. Mayne Pharma’s products have the number one share in both markets.

The two transactions are expected to deliver an additional US$0.3m in earnings per month on average from FY16, representing an implied acquisition multiple of 4.4x EBITDA.

Equity raising to fund the acquisition

Mayne Pharma will fund these acquisitions via a fully underwritten ~A$115.0 million equity raising comprising:

  • an accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (“Entitlement Offer”) to raise approximately A$105.0 million; and

  • an institutional placement (“Placement”) to raise approximately A$10.0 million.

The balance of the proceeds of the equity raising will be used to fund the start up costs of the Specialty Brands Division and for incremental working capital and general corporate purposes, including accelerating the development, registration and marketing of Mayne Pharma’s existing product pipeline and further potential product acquisitions.

All shares offered under the Entitlement Offer will be offered at a price of A$0.61 per new share (“Offer Price”), representing a 10.2% discount to the theoretical ex-raising price (“TERP”) based on the closing price of Mayne Pharma’s shares on 9 February 2015.

The Placement will be conducted via a variable price bookbuild with an underwritten floor price of $0.64 per new ordinary share. The final issue price will be determined via the bookbuild ("Bookbuild Price").
