UCB FIRST LOOK: $ 680m divestiture of mature assets in China

UCB divests its mature product portfolio in neurology (Keppra, Vimpat, Neupro) and allergy (Zyrtec, Xyzal) in China to CBC Group and Mubadala Investment Company for $ 680m. The divestment will create a new leading neurology company that operates at scale in China, as UCB's strategy for the country evolves toward a stronger focus on innovation and partnerships. We deem the transaction as a logical route forward in China at a seemingly fair price and reiterate our € 161 TP and Hold rating.
