RoundTable Healthcare Partners Announces Sale of the Topical Pharmaceutical Division of Renaissance Acquisition Holdings, LLC
LAKE FOREST, IL, May 13, 2016 — RoundTable Healthcare Partners, an operating-oriented private equity firm focused exclusively on the health-care industry, announced today that its portfolio company Renaissance Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“Renaissance”) has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its topical pharmaceutical business (the “Topical Division”) to Mylan N.V. (“Mylan”), a leading, global generic and specialty pharmaceutical company, for $950 million in cash at closing, plus additional contingent payments of up to $50 million, subject to customary adjustments. The closing is conditional on regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
The Topical Division of Renaissance is a fully-integrated, specialty pharmaceutical business focused on the manufacture, development, sales and marketing of branded and generic topical pharmaceutical products. RoundTable started Renaissance in 2010 when it acquired two leading contract manufacturing and development organizations, Confab Laboratories, based in Montreal, and DPT Laboratories, based in San Antonio, Texas. Through significant investments in senior leadership talent, product acquisitions, research & development, capital expenditures, the creation of a dermatology salesforce and the development of a pipeline of over two dozen topical ANDAs and NDAs, Renaissance has developed into one of the largest, privately-held, vertically-integrated specialty pharmaceutical companies in the topicals/dermatology market in North America.
“On behalf of RoundTable, I would like to thank the outstanding management team and dedicated employees of Renaissance for creating a leading specialty pharmaceutical company.” said Pierre Frechette, Senior Operating Partner at RoundTable and the Chairman of the Board of Renaissance. “We believe Mylan is an excellent strategic partner for this business, its employees and customers going forward.”
As part of this transaction, Renaissance will continue to own and operate its sterile-focused specialty pharmaceutical business with development and manufacturing facilities in Lakewood, New Jersey.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as exclusive financial advisor to Renaissance. Sidley Austin LLP acted as lead legal counsel to RoundTable.
