Moberg Pharma signs deal to acquire OTC brands in the U.S.


Moberg Pharma AB (OMX: MOB) has signed a deal to acquire three well established
Over-The-Counter brands in the U.S. from Bayer HealthCare, LLC. Total annual
sales for the brands are approximately 20 MSEK (ca 3 m$). The purchase price is
32 MSEK (4.8 m$) and is financed by available cash resources.
The acquired portfolio includes Domeboro®, a topical astringent used for
relieving itch and minor skin irritations; Vanquish®, an internal analgesic; and
Fergon®, an iron supplement. The brands will be sold through Moberg’s current
channel, primarily in chain drugstores and mass retailers, such as Walmart.

“It is with great pleasure that I present this acquisition. We have worked to
achieve this kind of deal since we acquired Alterna LLC a year ago, when we
established our own presence in the U.S. Today’s deal will very nicely leverage
our U.S. sales platform, it contributes immediately to our sales and earnings
and to our long term financial goal of achieving an EBITDA margin of 25%”, said
Peter Wolpert, CEO of Moberg Pharma AB.

Commenting on the transaction, Erica Mann, president, Bayer HealthCare, Consumer
Care said, “We are pleased to sell these brands to Moberg following our
realigned strategic focus and portfolio review. The transaction will allow us to
further focus on our core brands and global brand expansion in the U.S. and
other markets as we work to significantly strengthen our OTC business.”

The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2013.
