Investor Update summary
14 Sep, 2026Transaction overview
Divested US rights to Zubsolv to Dexcel Pharma for $91 million, plus $4-5 million for inventory and up to $16.8 million in contingent payments based on 2026–2027 sales.
Dexcel assumes manufacturing, supply, and commercialization of Zubsolv in the US; transition support and employee transfer opportunities provided.
Deal closing expected by January 31, with a reimbursed transition phase and $3 million held in escrow for product returns and obligations.
Proceeds will be used to redeem the corporate bond maturing in March 2028, eliminating debt and refinancing uncertainty.
Most US employees offered positions at Dexcel, ensuring continuity for Zubsolv customers.
Financial and operational impact
Zubsolv US net sales for the last four quarters were $49 million, with EBIT of $17 million.
Transaction expenses include advisor costs, US business restructuring, and reimbursement for transition services.
Contingent payments depend on sales performance, with expectation to achieve at least half of the maximum.
No significant new liabilities expected beyond standard provisions for rebates and returns; $3 million escrowed for returns.
Detailed financial impact to be disclosed in the full-year report on February 5.
Strategic rationale and future focus
Certainty around IP protection secured with a settlement, with five years before potential generic competition.
Transaction accelerates expected EBIT until patent expiry and removes financial uncertainty.
Enables increased focus and investment in proprietary drug delivery technology AmorphOX and pipeline products, including OX124, OX640, OX390, OX472, and Izipry.
OX124 to be resubmitted to FDA in summer; OX640 pivotal study to start late in the second half of the year; OX390 development continues with BARDA partnership.
AmorphOX platform validated in clinical studies and will continue to be tested in vaccines and GLP-1 agonists.
