OSLO,
Norway, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Navamedic
ASA (OSE: NAVA), a Nordic pharma company and provider of
high-quality products to hospitals and pharmacies, has today
submitted a cash offer to acquire all shares in Sensidose AB
('Sensidose') for approximately SEK 75
million (the 'Offer'). The Offer is recommended by the
independent bid committee of Sensidose. The Sensidose shares are
currently listed on Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden.
Sensidose is a Sweden-based
pharmaceutical company that sells drugs in combination with an
innovative device for individual dosing, targeting patients with
advanced Parkinson's disease.
Sensidose has conducted sales in Sweden since the end of 2016 and in
Norway and Denmark since 2018. The company's products
have received market approval in eight additional countries and has
initiated dialogues for geographic expansion. Currently,
approximately 270 patients are being treated with Sensidose's
medicine, and total revenues in 2022 amounted to SEK 7.9 million.
"This potential transaction is an excellent example of
Navamedic's proactive approach to M&A. It also represents an
opportunity for Navamedic to broaden its product portfolio and to
support patients suffering from medical conditions, such as
Parkinson's. We are confident that the potential addition of
Sensidose's products will significantly strengthen our overall
product offering and quickly become value generating upon launch,"
said Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen,
CEO, Navamedic.
Navamedic has been impressed by the recent product development
and sales efforts made by Sensidose in recent years and is excited
by the attractive market prospects for Sensidose's products, which
can seamlessly become part of Navamedic's existing marketing and
distribution channels. Together, the two companies will be able to
further develop and launch Sensidose's products in the Nordics,
Europe, and globally.
Additionally, Navamedic has a sales force with experience in
neurology and general practitioners as well as a well-established
patient support program.
