EUSA Pharma Completes Acquisition Of Cytogen C...( DOYLESTOWN Pennsylvania and OXFOR...)

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania and OXFORD, England, May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- EUSA Pharma Inc ('EUSA'), a transatlantic specialty pharmaceutical company focused on oncology, pain control and critical care, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Cytogen Corporation, following the approval of Cytogen's shareholders at a special meeting on 8 May.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Cytogen shareholders will receive $0.62 per share, valuing the company at $22.6 million. To meet the consideration, EUSA has raised over $50 million in an investment round led by TVM Capital and supported by EUSA's existing investors, Essex Woodlands, 3i, Goldman Sachs, Advent Venture Partners, SV Life Sciences, NeoMed and NovaQuest. EUSA will now apply to delist all Cytogen's issued shares from the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Cytogen brings to EUSA three oncology and pain control products, a US specialty sales force and an established commercial infrastructure. With the completion of the acquisition, Cytogen will form a wholly-owned subsidiary of EUSA and will operate under the EUSA name.

"Completing our acquisition of Cytogen is particularly significant for EUSA as it also completes our transatlantic growth platform, positioning us as a partner of choice for further acquisitions and product in-licensing," said Bryan Morton, Chief Executive of EUSA Pharma. "We now have a strong US commercialization infrastructure to match our organization in Europe, which covers over 20 countries. We plan to rapidly integrate the Cytogen organization, allowing us to compete with major players as we accelerate our search for additional specialty products to leverage our infrastructure on both sides of the Atlantic. With a growing portfolio of medicines, we plan to begin exploiting our transatlantic platform with the launch of our US product Caphosol(R) in several European territories."
