Hamburg, Germany - 15 October 2013: Evotec AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange:
EVT, TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809) today announced that its research alliance
with Boehringer Ingelheim has reached a milestone in September triggering
revenues of EUR 4.0 m to Evotec. The milestone was for the transition of an
oncology molecule into pre-clinical development.
Dr Mario Polywka, Chief Operating Officer of Evotec, commented: 'This is
the twentieth milestone achieved as part of our alliance with Boehringer
Ingelheim and represents a second oncology compound transitioning into
pre-clinical development. I would like to congratulate the teams from both
companies on their continuing excellent progress in the collaboration.'
ABOUT THE EVOTEC&BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM ALLIANCE
In 2004, Evotec entered into a multi-year, multi-target drug discovery
alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim to jointly identify and develop
pre-clinical development candidates for the treatment of various disease
areas including CNS, inflammation, cardiometabolic and respiratory
diseases. In 2009, the collaboration was extended for an additional four
years and the scope expanded to include oncology targets. Under the terms
of the agreement, Boehringer Ingelheim has full ownership and global
responsibility for clinical development, manufacturing and
commercialisation of the compounds identified. In return, Evotec receives
ongoing research payments and pre-clinical milestones. Furthermore, the
contract provides substantial long-term upside for Evotec through potential
payments for successful milestone achievements during clinical development
and royalties when new drugs reach the market.
