Acquisition of pharmacies. Galenica acquired 100% of the interests in pharmacies in various locations in Switzerland. Upon acquisition, most of these pharmacies were merged with Galenicare Ltd.

The total purchase consideration amounted to CHF 10.4 million and was fully settled in cash. The fair value of the provisional net assets amounts to CHF 2.5 million at the acquisition date. The goodwill of CHF 7.9 million was allocated to the operating segment Products & Care and corresponds to the added value of the pharmacies based on their locations. Transaction costs were not material.
