Company statement


Allschwil, Switzerland - October 24, 2018
Idorsia Ltd (IDIA.SW) today announced that a representative of former Axovan shareholders claims the demerger of Actelion and Idorsia would trigger the acceleration of all outstanding milestone payments for clazosentan and has filed a complaint with the arbitrator in Switzerland against Actelion. Since the responsibilities of the underlying share purchase agreement between Actelion and former Axovan shareholders have been transferred from Actelion to Idorsia, Idorsia is liable to pay the milestones referred to in the share purchase agreement.

Idorsia believes that such claim has no merit.
