[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] Boryung announced on the 24th that it will absorb and merge Riquon, in which it holds 100% of the shares.


The company expects that this merger will integrate overlapping businesses to achieve economies of scale, enhance management efficiency through cost reduction, and have a positive impact on the company's finances. Additionally, since the merging companies are jointly conducting pharmaceutical research and development, it is anticipated that by consolidating into a single corporation, the research and development capabilities for promising pipelines will be enhanced, and synergy creation such as business opportunity expansion through shared infrastructure will be possible.



The merging company Boryung owns 100% of the issued shares of the merged company Riquon and does not plan to issue new shares for the merged company's stock. The merger date is set for December 27.
