Executive Summary
Mallinckrodt's marketing rights for Molecular Biosystem's imaging agent, FS609, will now encompass Europe, Africa, India and Russia as well as the US. In October, the two companies submitted a PMA to the US FDA for the agent, and they intend to seek market clearance in Europe in early 1997. Mallinckrodt will pay $12.9 million for the rights as well as 40% of product sales to cover royalties and manufacturing. An initial payment of $7.1 million is payable within 30 days, with the remainder becoming due as agreed milestones are met.
