additional info on sepr UCB deal

what i write here i read in our local fin newspaper in belgium

deal is structured as follows

as patent rights in europe are finisched in 2002
UCB has bought rights on sepr improved version of zyrtec
BUT ONLY IN EUROPE on a royaltie base if sale rise royalties go up also (at least thats what i make out of it)

UCB didnt buy US and JAPAN rights as there patent is valid till 2007 i think

One should know that price of ucb shares exploded 8-10* in a few years due to admission of zyrtec in us

So i realy find this a clever deal on the part of SEPR
1/ royalties on euro sales
2/ rapid penetration in euro with
a/ ideal test population , if something goes wrong well its only europe
b/ if it works here it will work in the us

i only find it a disappointment UCB didnt buy SEPR

If any of you wanna buy UCB dont
UCB is controled by 2 holding Fin d' obourg and fin tubize which is at a 25% cheaper per share also listed on brussels exchange

simply to make thing a bit cloudy for the us citizens
