LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

note:

 

The Registered Office of the company has been shifted from Plot No. 822A, Road No. 40, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India to the present address w.e.f. 23.09.2008.

 

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

 

The company has achieved a turnover of Rs.1897.900 millions during the year 2009-10 compared to Rs. 2064.100 millions during the previous year. The reduction is mainly due to sales return of about 8 million does of Shans from UNICEF as per WHO/UNICEF directive. The recall of Shan5 from the UNICEF and other market is on account of the presence of a white sedlment which sticks to the glass of the vaccine vial that is difficult or impossible to re-suspend with vigorous shaking (flocculation). Due to this the company’s turnover has come down and the company has to end the year with loss of Rs. 157.100 millions.

 

Who has also removed the prequalification of Shan5 and Shantetra, the vaccines containing pertusis component, though there have been no reports of any side effects from the use of Shan5. The company is working on remediation plans and is hopeful of getting the products prequalified by WHO in year 2012.

 

The products of the company are getting registered in various countries. During the year 2009-10, the company has executed export orders mainly from UNICEF, Thailand and other countries

 

During the year 2009-10, the company has launched Cholera vaccine in Indian market.

History

The genesis of Subject can be traced back to the initiatives of Dr. K I Varaprasad Reddy, the Founder and Managing Director. Dr. Varaprasad, an electronics engineer by profession, established the company in 1993 with the sole purpose of developing efficacious but cost effective vaccines and therapeutics that are within the reach of the common man.

The seeds of this ambitious venture were sown in Geneva at a conference on global programs for immunization. This is where Dr. Varaprasad first realized the pressing need for an affordable Hepatitis-B vaccine for India. At that point in time, the high cost of the imported vaccine rendered it out of reach for most segments of society.

Aware that the price of the vaccine had to be drastically reduced in order for the government of India to include it in the National Immunization Program, Dr. Varaprasad decided to develop the technology in-house rather than importing it at a higher cost. His early years in R&D had given him confidence in  scientific talent in and he was convinced that given a conducive atmosphere they could put India on the map for Genetic Engineering.

The initial years were tough. Banks and financial institutions viewed the project skeptically and refused to fund the project. The project began modestly as an R&D outfit at the Osmania University under the industry-university interactive programme in 1993 and later at the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) until an independent R&D facility was built.

The fledgling company received a big boost with the entry of H.E Yusuf Bin Alawi Abdullah, Foreign Minister of Sultanate of Oman, who invested money in his personal capacity along with other friends as co promoters in 1995. H.E also arranged for long term loans from Oman International bank at low rates of interest. The perseverance and hard work finally began to pay off. In 1997, Shantha developed and commercialized India’s first r- DNA Hepatitis-B vaccine. And there has been no looking back ever since.

Merieux Alliance group, based in France had acquired majority stake in subject in November, 2006.

Subject has become a part of the Sanofi-Aventis group in July, 2009.  Sanofi-aventis, a leading global pharmaceutical company, discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions to improve the quality of life for the public at large.. Sanofi-aventis is listed in Paris (EURONEXT: SAN) and in New York (NYSE: SNY).  Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of sanofi-aventis Group, provided more than 1.6 billion doses of vaccine in 2008, making it possible to immunize more than 500 million people across the globe. A world leader in the vaccine industry, Sanofi Pasteur offers the broadest range of vaccines protecting against 20 infectious diseases. The company's heritage, to create vaccines that protect life, dates back more than a century. Sanofi Pasteur is the largest company entirely dedicated to vaccines. Every day, the company invests more than EUR 1 million in research and development.

Company Overview

A deep sense of commitment and a tradition of excellence have characterized Shantha’s journey thus far and have placed it in the forefront of exciting scientific ventures. However, there are still bigger oceans to be crossed and farther shores to be reached.

PRESS RELEASE

Sanofi Pasteur strengthens vaccines position in India through the control of Shantha Biotechnics via Mérieux Alliance

 

Sanofi Pasteur to pursue the development of Shantha Biotechnics as a platform for high quality affordable vaccination

 

Shantha to bring a state-of-the-art vaccine manufacturing facility  in Hyderabad, India and an important portfolio of new vaccines

 

Alain Mérieux to chair a new Vaccine Strategic Committee  of Sanofi Pasteur for Emerging Markets

 

Paris, France – July 27, 2009 - Sanofi-aventis (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) and Mérieux Alliance announced today the signature of a strategic agreement for the acquisition by Sanofi Pasteur of Mérieux Alliance’s French subsidiary ShanH, which owns a majority stake in vaccine company Shantha Biotechnics based in Hyderabad, India. Alain Mérieux will chair the Board of ShanH and a new joint committee will be created to be chaired by Alain Mérieux on vaccine strategy for the Emerging Markets.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of the sanofi-aventis Group, will support Shantha’s ongoing development as a platform to address the need for high quality affordable vaccination in international markets. Dr Varaprasad Reddy, the founder of Shantha Biotechnics in 1993, will continue to lead the company as Managing Director. The transaction, set to close before the end of the third quarter, values Shantha at 550 million euros. For the current fiscal year, sales of Shantha are expected to be around 90 million US dollars. Sales are expected to grow significantly given the commercial resources of Sanofi Pasteur and through the development and launch of Shantha’s pipeline of new vaccines.

 

Commenting on the agreement, Christopher A. Viehbacher, Chief Executive Officer of sanofi-aventis said: “Shantha provides Sanofi Pasteur with a portfolio of new vaccines in development which complement Sanofi Pasteur’s current vaccines, positioning the company to accelerate its growth in strategically important emerging markets. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities allow Sanofi Pasteur to gain high quality capacity in order to enable us to provide important vaccines at affordable prices to many people around the world. Our commitment to this objective is highlighted by the creation of a new Strategic Committee which I am delighted to announce will be chaired by Alain Mérieux”.

 

This agreement is a tribute to the common heritage of Mérieux Alliance and Sanofi Pasteur, two companies originating from Institut Mérieux, which was founded in 1897 by Marcel Mérieux, a student of Louis Pasteur and Alain Mérieux’s grandfather.

 

Commenting on the agreement, Alain Mérieux, Chairman of Mérieux Alliance said: “During the last three years, we have, together with Dr. Varaprasad Reddy, Shantha’s founder, significantly developed the company. We have in particular refocused its activity on vaccines and strengthened its range of products, especially by successfully launching a pentavalent pediatric vaccine as well as a Cholera vaccine. We have built up a portfolio of new products which are today in development: Rotavirus vaccine, Conjugated Typhoid vaccine, and HPV vaccine.

 

This evolution was rolled out respecting Shantha’s philosophy to provide developing countries with international quality level products at an accessible price. Shantha’s future development necessitates support from a major international vaccine company. This agreement gives me the opportunity to reconnect with Sanofi Pasteur, a company to which I am historically attached. I am also pleased to remain involved -together with Dr. Varaprasad Reddy- in the group’s strategy in the domain of preventive medicine and of human vaccines tailored to the countries of the South”.

 

Shantha was created in 1993 by Dr. Varaprasad Reddy and is based in Hyderabad, India. Shantha develops, manufactures and markets several important vaccines. It operates at international standards in a state-of-the-art facility.

 

Shantha works with supranational organizations like UNICEF and PAHO to supply major international markets including Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America. In 1997, Shantha launched SHANVAC-B, the first recombinant Hepatitis B vaccine produced in India. SHANVAC-B™, SHANTETRA™ (combination vaccine of Diphteria, Pertussis, Tetanus and Hepatitis B), SHAN5™ (combination vaccine of Diphteria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Haemophilus influenza B and Hepatitis B) and SHANTT™ (Tetanus toxoid vaccine) are pre-qualified by the World Health Organization for supplying to United Nation agencies globally. Shantha also has an important portfolio of vaccines in development.
