This closing marks the completion of the required legal social process, initiated on 08 March 2018 and means that all customary approvals and conditions, including those from the French regulatory authorities have been received and met.

The transaction will result in a EUR 60 m upfront cash payment and a guaranteed financial commitment from Sanofi to Evotec for five years.

Going forward, Evotec will also engage in collaborations with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, foundations, academia and government agencies to further accelerate research and development into new products in infectious diseases.

The initial focus areas will be on antimicrobial resistance ("AMR") and superbug infections, TB and Malaria, as well as on the creation of novel antiviral therapies with new mechanisms of action.
