Proposed Acquisition of SCTbio
In addition to the Proposed IBC with Skyepharma, on August 9, 2023, eureKING and PPF Biotech B.V.
(“PPF”) signed an agreement (the “SCTbio Purchase Agreement”) to purchase full ownership interest,
under which eureKING would acquire 100% of SCT Cell Manufacturing s.r.o. (“SCTbio”), a full-
service contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) specializing in cell-based
therapy and viral vectors.
The proposed acquisition of SCTbio (the “Proposed Acquisition of SCTbio”) would complement
eureKING’s ongoing proposed acquisition of Skyepharma. By joining Skyepharma with SCTbio,
eureKING is taking a step closer in its ambitious plan to build a new European bio-CDMO leader.
The Proposed Acquisition of SCTbio would be completed (i) through the acquisition by eureKING, for
a cash consideration of €13.08 million, of c. 67% of the shares of SCTbio held by PPF, the sole
shareholder of SCTbio (the “SCTbio Cash Acquisition”), and (ii) through the contribution to eureKING
by PPF of their remaining c. 33% shares of SCTbio, in exchange for new ordinary shares of eureKING
(the “SCTbio Contribution”, and, together with the Skyepharma Contribution, the “Contribution”). After
completion of both the SCTbio Cash Acquisition and the SCTbio Contribution, SCTbio will be fully
owned by eureKING. The proposed transaction values SCTbio at an enterprise value of c. €17.5 million,
plus land acquired by eureKING and separately valued at €2.025 million.
Pursuant to the terms of a side agreement to the SCTbio Purchase Agreement, entered into on the same
date by eureKING and PPF, the parties’ respective obligations to actually effect the closing of the
SCTbio Cash Acquisition and the SCTbio Contribution are suspended upon the execution, following
the exercise of the put option signed on May 23, 2023, of the Skyepharma Sale and Purchase Agreement
relating to Skyepharma.
Once the SCTbio Purchase Agreement fully comes into force, the closing of the SCTbio Cash
Acquisition and the SCTbio Contribution remain subject to:
x the closing of the Proposed IBC with Skyepharma;
x approval of the shareholders of eureKING; and
x the prolongation of two contracts with third-parties:
- the lease for the premises (offices and laboratories) in Prague, whose term is up by the end
of September 2023, both parties having an option to renew it or not; and
- one of SCTbio’s insurance contract, which could be terminated by the insurance company.
It is expected that the lease will be renewed and the insurance contract will not be terminated.
As consideration for the SCTbio Contribution, eureKING will issue c. 644,325 new ordinary shares (the
“SCTbio Contribution Shares”). The value of one SCTbio Contribution Share for the purpose of
determining the exchange ratio would amount to €10.00, representing a c. €6.44 million contribution
value. Mr. Olivier Courau (Finexsi) and Mr. Stéphane Schwedes have been appointed as contribution
appraisers (commissaires aux apports) by the Ordonnance of September 8, 2023, to assess the value of
the ordinary shares of SCTbio to be contributed to eureKING in the context of the SCTbio Contribution,
to confirm that it is not over-valued and that it corresponds at least to the share capital increase of
eureKING, increased by the contribution premium and to confirm, in accordance with the AMF
recommendation DOC-2020-06, that the exchange rate is fair.
The Proposed IBC with Skyepharma is not conditioned upon the Proposed Acquisition of SCTbio. The
Proposed Acquisition of SCTbio will however not take place if the Proposed IBC with Skyepharma is
not completed. eureKING intends to complete the Proposed Acquisition of SCTbio as soon as possible
after completion of the Proposed IBC with Skyepharma. To this effect, an extraordinary meeting of the
shareholders of eureKING has been convened to approve, on October 18, 2023, the Skyepharma
