AGM Statement
Clinigen Group plc (AIM: CLIN, "Clinigen" or the "Group"), the global specialty pharmaceuticals business, is holding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 10.00am today at Instinctif Partners' offices, 65 Gresham Street, London EC2 7NQ.
At the meeting Peter Allen, Clinigen's Chairman, and Peter George, Group Chief Executive Officer, will cover the following areas:
This has been a strategically transformational year for the Group. During the year, Clinigen has doubled the size of the business, strengthened its global capabilities, become the global market leader in the ethical supply of unlicensed medicines and continued the revitalization of its speciality products portfolio.
Through the acquisition of Idis, the Group has extended its unique, synergistic business model and created a better balanced portfolio of businesses. Clinigen is now the market leader in the $5+ billion unlicensed medicine supply sector and the $2 billion clinical trial supply market. The proposed acquisition of Link, due to complete shortly, will also substantially broaden the Group's international distribution footprint across the AAA region - Asia, Africa and Australasia.
As reported at Clinigen's full year results in September, all of its newer specialty pharma assets - Cardioxane, Savene and Ethyol - continue to progress to plan. The lifting of the EMA Article 31 referral for Cardioxane also remains on track.
Having completed the CFO handover period, described previously, Robin Sibson will step down from the role of CFO after the AGM and Martin Abell will now assume that role with immediate effect. The Board welcomes Martin and thanks Robin for the important role that he has played in the success and development of the Group. Robin will continue to work with the Group in his new role as a Non-Executive Director of Clinigen.
Clinigen's strong financial performance demonstrates its strengthened international position in growing markets. The Group is on track in advancing its underlying philosophy of getting the right drug to the right patient at the right time, regardless of where they are in the world.
