Company Update
London, UK, 5 July 2013 - Ark Therapeutics Group plc (LSE: AKT)
("Ark") has been notified by Crawford Healthcare Ltd ("Crawford")
that it is of the view that certain sales of its products (KerraMax
Care) do not constitute relevant sales for the purposes of the
earn-out consideration due to Ark (subject to certain revenue
targets) under the sale agreement dated 7 February 2011 pursuant to
which Ark's woundcare business was sold to Crawford Woundcare
Limited. As such, in Crawford's view it is unlikely that the
revenue targets will be met in respect of calendar year 2013. Ark
strongly disagrees with the position Crawford is attempting to
assert and, having taken legal advice, is confident that the
product sales in question should be included in the relevant
revenue targets which may or may not trigger earn-out
consideration. Whilst any payment to Ark of deferred consideration
remains subject to the agreed revenue targets being met in calendar
year 2013, and as such no guarantee can be given as to the
likelihood of those targets being met, Ark is confident that on the
basis of advice its position is sound and it will take all steps
available to it to protect its contractual rights.
Non-Executive Director, David Venables, comments:
"We were initially contacted by Crawford Healthcare to discuss
their position in April and since then the Company has taken
independent legal advice on the detail of the contract. Discussions
continue, and we hope to resolve the matter amicably with Crawford
Healthcare."
A further update will be provided in due course.
