ASX Announcement

MAYNE PHARMA ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO A PORTFOLIO OF GSK FOAM DERMATOLOGY PRODUCTS

18 August 2016, Adelaide, South Australia

  • Mayne Pharma Group Limited (“Mayne Pharma”) (ASX: MYX) has acquired a portfolio of dermatology foam products and related assets (“Foam Assets”) from GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) for US$50.1 million

  • Fabior® and Sorilux® are complementary dermatology assets to Doryx® and will be marketed through Mayne Pharma’s established Specialty Brands Division

  • Products expected to contribute modest incremental EBITDA in FY17 and have significant potential for growth in future years following re-launch

Mayne Pharma is pleased to announce it has acquired a portfolio of on-market dermatology Foam Assets from GSK for US$50.1 million. The Foam Assets include US rights to Fabior and Sorilux, Canadian rights to Luxiq® and Olux-E® and Mexican rights to betamethasone foam. Under the terms of the agreement Mayne Pharma will acquire the approved regulatory filings, trademarks, marketing materials, select product inventory, related medical and technical data and will acquire or obtain licenses for related patents.

Fabior (tazarotene) Foam, 0.1% is a patent-protected topical product indicated for the treatment of acne, the largest dermatology indication in the US affecting up to 50 million Americans every year[1] . Sorilux (calcipotriene) Foam, 0.005% is a patent-protected topical product indicated for mild to moderate plaque psoriasis affecting up to 6 million Americans each year[1] .

Both Fabior and Sorilux will be marketed through Mayne Pharma’s Specialty Brands Division and existing sales team. Re-launch for both products is expected in FY17. During the intervening period GSK will continue to distribute Fabior and Sorilux under a transition services arrangement.

The non-US dermatology assets will continue to be distributed by GSK in the short term and Mayne Pharma will seek to out-license these products to new partners.

Rationale for the acquisition

Mayne Pharma’s CEO, Mr Scott Richards said “This acquisition will strengthen Mayne Pharma’s position in the US dermatology market, diversify future branded earnings and create new opportunities for growth. Both Fabior and Sorilux are a strategic fit with the existing Doryx franchise and participate in attractive and growing markets. We believe both products are differentiated assets with compelling clinical data that physicians and patients will appreciate.”
