Written By Unknown on Selasa, 22 April 2014 | 23.25

As part of the three-way transaction announced today, the Swiss firm will buy GSK's cancer drugs portfolio for USD 16 billion and sell its vaccines business in return for USD 7.1 billion.

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare  today said the multi-billion dollar global deal between parent GlaxoSmithKline Plc and Swiss drug major Novartis  won't affect its business in India.

The two companies agreed to form a joint venture by combining Novartis' over-the-counter division with GSK's consumer business to create a business with USD 10 billion in annual sales. GSK will hold a 63.5 percent stake in the venture.

"This consumer healthcare joint venture will exclude GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Ltd India, where GSK plc will continue to hold directly its interests in the listed entity," GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSKCH) said in a filing to the BSE.
