Leverkusen, 24 July 2012 - Biofrontera Pharma GmbH, a fully-owned subsidiary of
Biofrontera AG, has today signed an exclusive agreement with Spirit Healthcare
Limited, Leicester, England, for the marketing of Ameluz(®) in the United
Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. In December 2011 Ameluz(®) obtained a
centralized European approval as medicinal product for the first-line treatment
of mild and moderate actinic keratosis in the face and on the scalp.
The agreement with Spirit Healthcare will initially be valid until the end of
2016. Up to this time point Spirit Healthcare will exclusively market Ameluz(®)
in the UK and Ireland. Thereafter the financial conditions will be reviewed.
In return for exclusive marketing rights Spirit Healthcare will dedicate
significant sales resource, partly funded by Biofrontera. In addition Spirit
Healthcare will receive 20% of the revenues obtained from Ameluz(®) in the UK
and Ireland. Biofrontera will take responsibility for scientific support, the
logistics and all necessary approvals. A UK launch is anticipated in late 2012.
The agreement with Spirit Healthcare allows Biofrontera a stronger strategic
sales and marketing capability in the UK and Ireland than a normal license
contract, without the risks of building a sales force and introducing a drug to
the market.
