Biota Holdings Limited and GlaxoSmithKline Agree to a Financial Settlement

Litigation is reaching an end today between Biola Holdings Limited (ASX: BTA) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The mediation gave both companies the chance to put aside their differences and eliminate the unknown as well as the costs involved legally.

The financial agreement will be a payment to Biota of $19.5 million in American dollars, with each party bearing their own litigation fees. This will be made on August 18. The existing master agreement between BTA and GSK remains unchanged.

BTA and GSK made the conclusion to have a normal, professional relationship in the interest of Relenza, who is also senior executive liaison and co-operation between them for restoration and strength. The purpose will be on the Relenza franchise in the prominent marketplace of pre-pandemic influenza risk management, an area of important concern to both governments and business.

“We are pleased to have reached a settlement that is satisfactory for both companies and brings an end to this litigation” GlaxoSmithKline CEO Andrew Witty said.

“GSK remains committed to working collaboratively with external organisations and biotech companies, such as Biota, in our ongoing efforts to bring innovative medicines and vaccines to patients.”
