"We are very excited to be starting a new chapter in the evolution of MediPharm Labs. VIVO is a strong cultural fit, and a great strategic fit. Together the two organizations have a much clearer path to profitability. I want to welcome all the VIVO employees and thank the teams on both sides that worked over many months to help bring us together," said David Pidduck, Chief Executive Officer of MediPharm.
As a result of the Arrangement, VIVO has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MediPharm, and the VIVO Shares are anticipated to be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange on or about April 4, 2023.
