mondoBIOTECH Holding AG (SIX: RARE) (“MondoBiotech”) announces today that Pierrel S.p.A. (“Pierrel”) and MondoBiotech have agreed to stop their discussions on and not to further pursue the idea of a business combination of the Contract Research Organization (CRO) of Pierrel with MondoBiotech, as expressed in the Letter of Intent signed on March 1st, 2012.
The complexity of the envisaged transaction and of a successful integration of the Pierrel Contract Research Organization (CRO) with MondoBiotech, involving two listed Groups in two different Exchanges, would have required time and costs significantly higher than expected. Therefore, also considering the current unfavorable market conditions, both Pierrel and MondoBiotech have come to the conclusion that the conditions for further pursuing the envisaged business combination are no longer given.
