Experience

Formycon

Led by Frankfurt partners Dr Lars-Gerrit Lüßmann and Ulrich Reers, Formycon AG carried out a capital increase of 910,000 new shares (corresponding to approximately 6% of the company's share capital) by means of an accelerated bookbuilding process and raised gross proceeds of approximately €70 million.

Formycon

Under the leadership of the Frankfurt-based Taylor-Wessing partners Lars-Gerrit Lüßmann and Michael Sinhart, Formycon AG and ATHOS KG are merging their development activities in the field of so-called biosimilars, the follow-up products of biological medicines (biologics), in a long-term strategic partnership. The centrepiece of this agreement is Formycon AG’s participation in the rights of two biosimilars. The volume of the legally complex transaction (aggregate counter-performance) adds up to approximately 650 million euros.
