il 13/09/2013 @ 05:14 | | UPDATE 4-Actavis to buy Warner Chilcott in $5 billion stock deal* Deal to increase 2014 earnings per share by 30 percent* Deal to boost branded drug business* Incorporation in Ireland to cut taxes* Shares of both Actavis and Warner Chilcott riseBy Caroline Humer and Ransdell PiersonMay 20 (Reuters) - Generic drugmaker Actavis Inc,?????? ?? ???,itself a recent takeover target, said on Monday it would buyspecialty pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott Plc for $5 billion in stock to expand its branded drug portfolio,lower taxes and increase profits.The Warner Chilcott acquisition brings two new businesses -gastroenterology and dermatology - and adds additional women'shealth drugs like branded contraceptives to Actavis, which makesand sells drugs that are no longer under patent protection.This is the second major purchase in the past two years forActavis, which competes against larger companies like TevaPharmaceuticals Industries Ltd and Mylan Inc.Actavis is following Teva's path to growth. In recent years,Teva, the largest generic drugmaker in the world, has turned toacquiring specialty branded drugs, which have far higher profitmargins than generics, to boost earnings.Actavis recently rejected a $15 billion,DADANGEL, $120 per sharetakeover offer from Mylan and an approach from Canadian companyValeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc was put onhold, Reuters has reported based on sources familiar with thesituation. Analysts have said that buying Warner Chilcott wouldkill the chances of a takeover of Actavis.Actavis Chief Executive Officer Paul Bisaro said he wouldnot comment on speculation when asked if Actavis had seriouslyconsidered selling itself. In a conference call with analysts,he said the Warner Chilcott purchase was both an expansion andsmart tax move.Mylan would have gotten more out of a deal than Actavis,Morningstar analyst Michael Waterhouse said. Actavis could havegiven Mylan reach in Eastern Europe and a nice pipeline ofproducts, he said. Waterhouse had some concerns about WarnerChilcott's pipeline,FOSSIL, which faces looming patent expirations.Actavis shares rose on news of the deal, and were up 1.9percent in Monday afternoon trading to $127.86,ArmaniExchange, after hitting anew all-time high of $131.18 earlier in the session.Gabelli & Co analyst Kevin Kedra said Actavis seemed to havepursued what they thought was the best deal for shareholders. "Inever got the sense their CEO was a maintain control-at-all-oddskind of guy,Coach ??????," Kedra said.Actavis said the deal would add 30 percent to earnings pershare in 2014, in part because it would pay lower taxes when itincorporates in Ireland, where Warner Chilcott is based."The longer-term benefit of a lower tax rate is that itallows you to acquire other companies at even better prices,"said BMO Capital Markets analyst David Maris. He said heexpected the company to continue with more deals - maybe evenbigger ones - after digesting Warner Chilcott.Maris said Actavis will also likely move to acquire brandedproducts for neurological conditions and allergies fromdrugmakers in Europe, that have far higher profit margins thangeneric drugs.This is the second major acquisition in a year for Actavis.Bisaro,ArmaniExchange, who has been CEO of the company since 2007, helped buildWatson Pharmaceuticals into Actavis after it bought the Swisscompany late last year and then took its name. Actavis revenues,which were $4.6 billion in 2011, rose to $5.9 billion in 2012and are expect to hit $11 billion after it buys Warner Chilcott.$8.5 BILLION WITH DEBTWarner Chilcott shareholders will receive 0.16 share of thecombined company. The companies said that would equate to $20.08per share, based on Actavis' closing share price of $125.50 onFriday.The purchase price is a 34 percent premium to WarnerChilcott's closing share price of $15.01 on May 9,MICHELJURDAIN, the daybefore the companies disclosed that they were in talks. WarnerChilcott shares since rose to close at $19.19 on Friday,narrowing the premium to less than 5 percent. The shares were up2.2 percent to $19.64 in Monday afternoon trading.Warner Chilcott turned down offers at higher prices lastyear, company executives said during the conference call withanalysts. But it has since issued special dividends, they said.Warner Chilcott will have about a 23 percent stake inActavis after the deal,???? ??.The companies said the deal, including debt,?????? ??????, was valued at$8.5 billion.Actavis advisors were Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Greenhill.

il 13/09/2013 @ 05:14 | | South Korea?s increasing crackdown on smoking appears to be spurring some tobacco fans to turn to a Swedish powder variety,SECTOR.Steam-cured tobacco pouches known as ?snus? have begun appearing around South Korea since earlier this year, with their importers saying they present an alternative less damaging to health.The moist powdered tobacco is packaged in a teabag-like pouch and is tucked under the upper lip to give off nicotine. Because it is ingested through the gums, advocates say it?s an easy way to quit smoking with no lung cancer risks. But critics, including the World Health Organization, say tobacco in any form poses grave health threats.Sweden, which has the lowest percentage of smokers in the world,?, according to the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development,?????? ??????, has long tried to export snus. was unsuccessful earlier this year.The sale of snus is illegal in the EU except in Sweden,POLICE, which made the exception a condition to its joining the union in 1995. Snus consumers are mostly in Sweden and non-EU member Norway. A combined total of 285 million cans are sold in those countries each year, according to Sweden?s largest snus maker, Swedish Match AB.Imported tobacco from Sweden and Denmark–which also exports snus–reached 1 metric ton each from March to July, official data show, up from nil last year. South Korean customs service data has no separate category for snus,BURBERRY, but there are no other tobacco products from those countries readily available in Korea.The introduction of snus to South Korea comes at a favorable moment,?????, say the importers. The Seoul government plans to expand a limited smoking ban to all restaurants and many public areas from 2015.South Korea also has the highest rate of adult male daily smokers in the developed world at 45%, according to the OECD. With the female population combined, the percentage was 23%.Last year,TIMEX, South Koreans bought about 90 billion cigarettes, worth 11.3 trillion won ($10.3 billion),????????, according to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. That?s equivalent to over 1,800 cigarettes sold per capita, or five cigarettes consumed per person each day.Though the number of cigarettes sold has declined over recent decades,Coach ??????, the market size has been relatively stable in the last few years,??????, government data show.It?s too early to tell whether the smokeless experiment will catch on in South Korea. A spokeswoman for KT&G Corp., the country?s largest cigarette maker with the biggest market share, said they have no plans to sell snus?products. The importers declined to disclose their sales data but said they are on the rise. Related-articles:

il 13/09/2013 @ 05:13 | | Izzat Majeed grew up in his native Pakistan listening to the sounds of Ella, Dizzy and the Duke.But it was Dave Brubeck, playing in the auditorium of Lahore?s Nido Hotel next to Majeed?s home, who touched the young man. It was 1958, and though it was a year before the jazz giant would pen his iconic ?Take Five,??? ??????,? his sound registered deeply.?”He was becoming a great master in his own right,? said Majeed. ?That?s where I got hooked on jazz. I remained with music.??The millionaire-investor-turned-philanthropist and music mogul will mark a milestone when his Sachal Studios Orchestra of Lahore releases its second jazz album later this year. The first, Sachal Jazz: Interpretations of Jazz Standards and Bossa Nova, went on sale in 2011. It shot to the top of iTunes rankings in both the U.S. and U.K. and drew comparisons to Ry Cooder?s Buena Vista Social Club album, done with Cuban?s biggest traditional musical legends, some of whom had been out of the limelight for decades.?The first Sachal album featured a that even Brubeck is said to have liked. Brubeck died late last year. The tribute to his quartet was played on both Western stringed instruments and traditional Eastern instruments, like the sitar, and was also done as a slickly cut, but somehow.The orchestra?s second album, Jazz and All That, has a decidedly different feel, Majeed said.??For the second album, I?ve done two things. The entire structure of rhythm has changed. Also, I have brought in Western instruments that would create enthusiasm, rather than in the previous album, when the contribution of Western instruments was minimal,? he said. ?That gels well with the sitar, the sarangi (a fiddle-like instrument)…It gives it a sound I really like.??Sachal Studios, which also has produced several dozen albums from individual artists since opening, released a teaser video of the orchestra playing an East-West fusion version of R.E.M.?s ?Everybody Hurts.?Majeed, by the way,ARUBUTUS, hesitates to call the sound of the orchestra he built ?fusion,? though it blends elements and instruments of both.??I shy away from Western or Eastern,? Majeed said. ?I don?t understand ?fusion.? For example,??? ??? ??, I made two or three new tracks totally on our classical music, on the ragas. When you hear them, the raga is not disturbed at all…Whenever I make a composition and bring in an instrument from the West and our own instrument, ultimately, the impact, the sound that you hear, is your own music. It?s not fusion. It?s the world coming into musical harmony.??Majeed, who is 63 and considers himself retired, splits time between London and Lahore, and does some of his album-tracking with musicians in Europe. He said he just likes the sound of the instruments coming together, and that part of his mission is to bring music back to Pakistan, even if it?s a different kind than what many of his countrymen expect.??Everyone tells us, ?you rock the boat all the time when you?re in Lahore, because I don?t know the music.? We all just get together and say, ?here is the sound. Do you like it?? We bypass the classical structures,? he said.?Playing music that?s pleasant and interesting, as he discovered with the orchestra?s first album, attracts listeners from all over, like Japan and Brazil, as well as in Pakistan. Majeed said he started to compose the outlines of the second album as the first album began resonating with listeners around the world. It has come together at a comfortable pace and in a way where the whole orchestra is now onboard with the sound.??It was primarily my idea, but this has been produced over the past two years. Every time I go back, it?s open for discussion, we have a look at it and be happy about that. I go back every two months for a month,DOLCE MEDIO,? he said.?The new album features 13 tracks, including Henry Mancini?s ?The PInk Panther,? ?Eleanor Rigby,? ?Morning has Broken? by Cat Stevens, ?the Maquis Tepat,? and a jazz-based classical interpretation of a Monsoon raga.?Beyond the orchestra?s music, the tale of how and why Majeed built the studio and founded Sachal is worth telling for music aficionados.?After his initial exposure to U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower?s so-called, Majeed,IZAX VALENTINO, kept music close, despite a winding career.?His work took him into academia in the U.K., then to the Middle East, where he made his fortune advising the Saudi oil minister, and later, doing his own investing.?It?s that fortune, amassed through deals like the one that saw Union Bank of Pakistan sold to Standard Chartered in 2006 and establishment of a successful global investment fund, that enabled him to finally bring music back to the foreground.??I set up a private fund…it worked well globally, in China, India, Pakistan, the U.S. Finally, I decided,????, ?this is it.? I liquidated it. And now, I just make music.??In 2005, the son of music enthusiast and Lollywood producer Mian Abdul Majeed, realize |
