What are the considerations behind the acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical by Yaoshibang?

On October 15, Yaoshibang issued an announcement that it had signed a transaction agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of Yikuai Pharmaceutical, with a total consideration of RMB 1.035 billion, including a cash consideration of RMB 420 million and a share consideration of RMB 615 million. In the pharmaceutical industry, where mergers and acquisitions are common, this transaction with a total price of RMB 1 billion has attracted considerable attention. The reason is that this is not only the first large-scale acquisition of Yaoshibang, a pharmaceutical B2B e-commerce unicorn, since its listing, but also related to Yaoshibang’s own financial situation. Amid the tightening of listing, Yaoshibang successfully rang the bell on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in June 2023. However, as a “digital enterprise that deeply cultivates the outpatient market” that went public at a loss, Yaoshibang had just turned a profit when it handed in its full-year performance ...

RNA editing pioneers fought a comeback

This is the title of an article published in Nauter in February this year (Move over, CRISPR: RNA-editing therapies pick up steam). RNA editing technology, which is coming to the fore, is seen as a potential to surpass CRISPR due to its safer and more flexible characteristics. The technology is in its infancy, and the bets of MNCs such as Eli Lilly and GSK have once pushed its popularity to a climax. However, Wave, an RNA editing pioneer founded in 2012, took more than 10 years to push its first RNA editing project WVE-006 into clinical trials. During this period, due to the clinical failure of other nucleic acid drugs, Wave’s stock price fell from a high of US$56 per share to around US$1 per share, and market expectations were no longer met. After years of silence, a counterattack driven by clinical data is taking place. On October 16, Wave ...
