Insights

China Pharma is acquiring a drug patent via a $9.8M stock issuance.

China Pharma Holdings, through its Helpson subsidiary, is acquiring ownership of an invention patent for Ipragliflozin tablets and their preparation. The consideration is set at $9.8 million, to be paid entirely in common stock priced at $1.40 per share, resulting in an issuance of 7,000,000 restricted shares. The transferor or a designated third party will also provide technical services such as product R&D and preparation of registration materials.

The transaction uses equity rather than cash, which preserves cash but increases the share count. The securities are being issued to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction under Regulation S, so they will not be registered under the Securities Act. Future filings may clarify how this patent and the related technical services contribute to the company’s product pipeline and revenue once development and registration activities progress.
