The efforts in divesting Primm Pharma S.r.l continues as Xbrane wants to focus on the development and sale of biosimilars. However, negotiations with the previously expected acquirer NewFadem S.r.l, with whom a non-binding term sheet was signed in February 2021, have been paused due to inability to reach a final agreement. Therefore, Xbrane now continues the efforts to divest Primm Pharma S.r.l with other potential acquirers.
