Roquefort Therapeutics Advances Sale of Lyramid to Pleiades Pharma

An announcement from Roquefort Investments PLC ( (GB:ROQ) ) is now available.

Roquefort Therapeutics has announced an update on the sale of its subsidiary, Lyramid Pty Ltd, to Pleiades Pharma Limited for US$10.8 million. The completion of this transaction depends on Pleiades finalizing certain licensing agreements and fundraising efforts, which are reportedly progressing well. Pleiades has successfully secured exclusive worldwide licenses for the PapMV cancer and infectious disease vaccine platform and the S100A9 immunotherapy, fulfilling a key condition for the sale. This transaction is expected to impact Roquefort’s operations by allowing the company to focus on executing further transactions for its other programs.
