The Female Health Co.'s (FHC) transformational merger with Aspen Park Pharmaceuticals (APP) has been
finalized with both sides agreeing to modified terms.
By merging, the
two companies will bring together FHC's FC2 Female Condom and APP's
wide drug development portfolio the features products design to address
segments in the industry.
“We are extremely pleased to consummate this opportunity for
our company and our shareholders,” FHC co-founder O.B. Parrish said.
“Our shareholders have shown substantial support for the merger with APP
and it is in that spirit that the boards of both companies approved and agreed
to the modified terms of the transaction. Importantly, the consideration
paid for APP’s business consists solely of existing authorized and currently
available shares of FHC common and preferred stock.
"This transaction
delivers on our objective to add and diversify our product offering with
potentially high revenue, high margin products, while also mitigating the risks
associated with being a single product company. The new Board of
Directors and management team can now begin in earnest the process of moving
forward with our strategic growth plans."
