On July 25, 2016, Acino International AG and Acino Pharma AG signed an agreement to divest our transdermal patch and implant business to Luye Pharma Group Ltd. The divestment includes our transdermal manufacturing operations, distribution, and R&D capabilities. Closing of this deal is expected before the end of 2016.
Acino will retain the marketing rights to certain transdermal patches in our strategic emerging markets.
