Navamedic ASA: Recommended cash offer to acquire Sensidose for approximately SEK 75 million

OSLO, Norway, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Navamedic ASA (OSE: NAVA), a Nordic pharma company and provider of high-quality products to hospitals and pharmacies, has today submitted a cash offer to acquire all shares in Sensidose AB ('Sensidose') for approximately SEK 75 million (the 'Offer'). The Offer is recommended by the independent bid committee of Sensidose. The Sensidose shares are currently listed on Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden.

Sensidose is a Sweden-based pharmaceutical company that sells drugs in combination with an innovative device for individual dosing, targeting patients with advanced Parkinson's disease.

Sensidose has conducted sales in Sweden since the end of 2016 and in Norway and Denmark since 2018.

Currently, approximately 270 patients are being treated with Sensidose's medicine, and total revenues in 2022 amounted to SEK 7.9 million.

"This potential transaction is an excellent example of Navamedic's proactive approach to M&A. It also represents an opportunity for Navamedic to broaden its product portfolio and to support patients suffering from medical conditions, such as Parkinson's. We are confident that the potential addition of Sensidose's products will significantly strengthen our overall product offering and quickly become value generating upon launch," said Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen, CEO, Navamedic.

Navamedic has been impressed by the recent product development and sales efforts made by Sensidose in recent years and is excited by the attractive market prospects for Sensidose's products, which can seamlessly become part of Navamedic's existing marketing and distribution channels. Together, the two companies will be able to further develop and launch Sensidose's products in the Nordics, Europe, and globally. Additionally, Navamedic has a sales force with experience in neurology and general practitioners as well as a well-established patient support program.
