Teva has announced that it is set to sell Allergan’s UK and Ireland-based generics business for $770 million.
The company completed its acquisition of Allergan’s generics business in August for $40.5 billion. It is now selling the UK and Ireland branches of the business to India’s Intas Pharmaceuticals. The sale was part of Teva’s deal with the European Commission to get approval for the acquisition of Allergan’s generics arm, which is known as Actavis Generics.
Greenhill & Co is Teva’s financial adviser, while Rothschild & Co is advising Intas. According to Teva, the sale is expected to close in the next three months.
