Sinclair Pharma said it would only make an offer if both companies complete their confirmatory due diligence and it has the unanimous and unqualified recommendation of IS Pharma’s board of directors.

If the merger goes ahead, the combined group would be headquartered in the UK with direct commercial operations in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland.

Sinclair IS Pharma will continue to focus on dermatology and specialist hospital therapies, including supportive oncology, critical care and wound care, as well as develop new opportunities.
