Listing of Idorsia

On 16 June 2017, Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) announced its debut as an independent company newly listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.

Following the transfer of Actelion’s drug discovery and early stage clinical pipeline business to Idorsia, registered Idorsia shares held by Actelion have been distributed to Actelion shareholders by way of a dividend in kind. The distribution of Idorsia shares to Actelion shareholders completes the demerger from Actelion in connection with the all-cash tender offer for all publicly held shares of Actelion Ltd by Janssen Holding GmbH, a Swiss subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) for 280 US Dollars in cash per share that will also settle on 16 June 2017.
