Indoco Remedies enters into a Joint Venture partnership with US based company to launch Ophthalmics in US
October 18, 2007

Mumbai, October 18, 2007: Indoco Remedies Limited and Amneal Pharmaceuticals, a New Jersey-based developer, manufacturer and distributor of generic pharmaceuticals announce the finalization of a joint venture partnership to develop, manufacture, market and distribute several products for the United States market. The initial product pipeline will include at least ten ophthalmic products, several of which have already progressed substantially through the development process.

Under the terms of this agreement, the expertise of each company will be leveraged to create a highly efficient and effective product flow, from API manufacturing through regulatory approval and distribution that will bring at least ten high-quality generic drugs to the US market over the next five years. The product selection committee, made up of three members from each company, chose the first group of products to build a balanced offering in the ophthalmic category, providing potential customers a single source for the most important molecules of the category.

Indoco’s responsibilities within the joint venture are, API manufacturing for the majority of these products, formulation development, analytical method development, production of bioequivalence batches, data reporting and ultimately manufacturing of the approved generic drugs for export to U.S.

Amneal’s role in the partnership is to prepare and file the ANDAs for US FDA approval using the emerging eCTD/QBR/QOS process, maintaining all required FDA and regulatory agency documentation both prior to and following approval as well as to exclusively sell, market and distribute these products throughout the US pharmaceutical market across all segments.

With balanced input from both Amneal and Indoco, funding for developing all these products, including bio-study costs, legal fees and other development expenses, will be equally shared. Likewise, the financial benefit from the sale of these products will be shared.

For additional development after this initial group of products, Indoco and Amneal have already begun to identify several more products to pursue, in the ophthalmic category as well as other therapeutic categories and dosage forms. The two companies fully expect this agreement to expand significantly in the near term and for it to last for many years.

In Amneal, Indoco now has a young and growing US generic company as a partner to market their ophthalmic products in USA. This partnership will help Indoco to speedily introduce their products in the U.S. market and to explore other areas of growth opportunities in the largest generic market of the world.
