Genomics acquires 16% stakes in Wyzer and officially enters the U.S. market

"Genomics BioSci & Tech. Co., Ltd., Taiwan’s leading genetic sequencing company (hereafter referred to as “Genomics”, stock code: 4195), announced today the signing of a strategic cooperation and equity exchange agreement with the Wyzer Biosciences, Inc. (“Wyzer”) of the United States, at a total amount of US$2.88 million (equivalent to NT$89.28 million). It is expected that both parties will foster a long-term and close partnership through this equity exchange, integrating resources to strengthen the competitiveness of both parties, working together to expand the U.S. market and seize opportunities to international supply chains, maximizing the operational synergies to create win-win situations.

The agreement signing ceremony was completed today by Joseph Chou, President of Genomics, and George Yang, Chief Financial Officer of Wyzer, respectively representing each other’s company."

根據合約,基龍米克斯將以現金與發行新股為對價,向Wyzer主要經營團隊及其大股東取得16%股權(139.68股),其中40%為現金支付115.2萬美元(約合新台幣3571.2萬元),另60%則由基龍米克斯採股份轉換方式,預計發行新股2,338張(佔發行新股後實收資本額3.19%)進行股份交換。換股比例為每1股Wyzer普通股,換取基龍米克斯發行的新股16,738股與現金255,670元,目前暫定股份交換基準日為112年11月13 日。

基龍米克斯董事長周孟賢表示,Wyzer是一家總部位於美國波士頓、提供全方位客製化服務的基因定序公司,包括Sanger定序、NGS次世代定序及DNA樣品處理等。雙方過去曾有業務往來,很高興這次能有深化合作的機會,借重Wyzer紮根當地超過10年以上的豐富經驗與行銷網絡,相信會是基龍米克斯在美國市場的最佳戰略夥伴。

Wyzer財務長楊泗林表示,很榮幸與基龍米克斯建立長期合作關係,透過本次的共同投資與股份交換,雙方將分享彼此技術、資源和市場經驗,未來並將攜手探索新產品開發與市場推廣,不但可降低市場風險,更有助擴大雙方的營運規模與市場份額,實現互利共贏。

周孟賢指出,大波士頓地區是全球生技產業重鎮之一,總人口不到500萬,卻匯聚美國最多的頂尖大學與教學醫院,如哈佛、麻省理工大學(MIT)等,以及全球前十大藥廠與醫材廠商幾乎也有進駐,如輝瑞、賽諾菲、諾華、羅氏等。基龍米克斯已將美國市場列為未來幾年的重點發展方向之一,因此鎖定波士頓地區積極布局,董事會也通過設立美國子公司,未來將持續尋找合作機會,加速基龍米克斯從基因定序擴大到核酸、胜肽等代工服務市場的轉型成效,增添成長動能。
