Meda AB
Company Announcement
Meda and Valeant terminates joint ventures
Meda has reached an agreement with Valeant to terminate the companies’
joint
ventures in Canada, Mexico and Australia in the second quarter of 2014.
In all
three countries own Meda affiliates have been established.

The product
rights to Flupirtine, Onsolis and Sublinox are returned to Meda
while Valeant
will continue to run the business in Canada, including the
products Palafer,
Contac, and Manerix. Sublinox will be licensed to Valeant in
Canada.

In
connection with the agreement, Meda will receive additional marketing rights
to
the licensed products Acnatac and Zyclara. Meda will thus be able to sell
these
products in countries such as Australia and South Africa.

As a part of the
total agreement Meda will cease paying royalties on sales of
Acnatac, Aldara
and Zyclara to Valeant.

"The agreement is in line with our strategy to focus -
beside respiratory- on
dermatology, as well as to strengthen our position in
emerging markets", said
Jörg-Thomas Dierks, CEO of Meda AB.
