Novartis' stake in Chiron

Nithya Subramanian

THE 50:50 joint venture between Chiron Vaccines and Panacea would be benefited if Novartis finally picks up the balance equity in the US-based company, said Mr Rajesh Jain, Joint Managing Director, Panacea Biotec.

Though Chiron has rejected Novartis' offer of picking up the remaining equity at $40 a share, Mr Jain said that if any such deal came through, there would be no impact on its joint venture. Novartis currently has over a 42 per cent stake in Chiron and analysts feel that this would give Novartis access to a range of vaccines.
